Kathy W2024-10-12Great food and service. Highly recommended.Luna EB2024-10-09Ill be honest food was not very good very disappointed in google reviews. $16 for quacamole was very high. Chips pretty thin. Had the enchaladas and it was undercooked and just not tasty. Service was great. Id skip it.Sarita Pelaez2024-10-07Please DO NOT EAT HERE very bad Tex Mex food it’s very nasty and it’s not real Mexican food!!!!!!!!! 0/10Aimee Belser2024-10-06Consistently good food and service.Luis Vazquez2024-10-02Lo mejorBeth Zampedro2024-09-23AWESOME - if you order seafood you will get a ton of it and it's delicious! We've ordered from their daily specials and the menu and everything has been great! The service is top notch as well. This restaurant replaced Picante's and we were bummed to see it go, but Los Carnales has proved themselves each time we're there! We love this place. The margaritas are excellent, along with their chips and house made salsa!Sun Jade2024-09-16Got the three tacos. Delicious. Excellent service and nice outdoor seating. Will bee back.
Linda B.2024-10-11I took my wonderful friend here to celebrate her birthday. The server suggested great options, but we went with our own. We had a great meal with her having the beef quesadilla and me having the carne asada soft taco and pork tamale!! Oh my, it was all so tasty and wonderful!! We both also enjoyed ice cold large margaritas as well since, why not??! ;) YUM!! Oh, and I did ask them to send her dessert! She wanted flan and asked them to sing her "Happy Birthday" in Spanish so they did, which is so SUPER sweet of them to have done!!! :-DNathan G.2024-10-07Really good Mexican food with great service. I got steak tacos and the meat was tender and good. Would totally go againSamantha M.2024-10-06Went for a little date night on a Friday evening and it was pretty slow inside. The service was great- but everything was a little overpriced. We ordered the guacamole because the salsa wasn't too great. But little did we know the guacamole was $27!! We paid around $70 just for an appetizer and 1 drink each. Did not expect that!! I will probably return for the drinks because they were pretty good and it is hard to come across a decent margarita in the area.DelrayDad N.2024-09-18TBH, I went there because of the previous Mexican Restaurant that was located there, but saw they were replaced by Los Carnales and decided to give it a try. Ok so the good first: The host and service was impeccable! Friendly, knew when to give you space and when to ask if you needed anything. Refried Beans were delicious! Might sound trivial but you'd be surprised how easy it is to mess up something as simple as refired beans, but these were TOP NOTCH. Steak was decent, not the best I've had, but decent. Pro Tip: If your waiter, politely but quietly tells you tell side sauce is hot. Pay attention. He's trying to save your life. Now for the bad: I paid way too much for the amount of vegetables that were on my plate. Half the plate was large cut carrots and broccoli. My pretty decently flavored steak was DROWNED in onions and peppers. The rice had so much canned mixed vegetables in it I forgot I ordered rice. I understand in today's day and age, people are trying to be healthy but if I wanted to eat vegan or vegetarian, I would go to one of those types of restaurants. I was here for Tex-Mex. They're still pretty new, so maybe I'll give it another try in a few months, but for now I'll give it a pass. No diss here, just a bit disappointed.Tammy B.2024-09-14The food was wonderful! I had beef tacos where the beef was seared, and it was very flavorful. My husband had shrimp and it was a generous portion. It also had a side of jalapeño and cilantro sauce that really set it apart. We will be coming back!Bruce Y.2024-09-12I hosted an event here for a group of about 50 and could not be happier with the food, drinks, and service. I highly recommend Los Carnales for any occasion as I know they will make sure to accommodate you. I will definitely be back soon to try more things on the menu!Mark G.2024-08-15I love Mexican food and I am in Herndon for business. I always search yelp for restaurant choices, yelp never lets me down! that is true for los Carnales. The hostess was super sweet. The waiter was excellent and the food was just delicious. I have to say the queso was not the kind that I like but still very good. Served with fried flour tortilla chips, there's salsa was absolutely delicious and the taquito appetizer was the best taquitos. I think I've ever had. For dinner I have the chili rellanos which I absolutely loved. When I was leaving three people said goodbye and thank you for coming. This place knows exactly how to run a restaurant. I can't wait to come back.Christine H.2024-07-19Came here for a team lunch and the place was pretty empty. We were greeted and taken to our table. Waiter brought out chips and salsa and our drinks. So when I placed my order, he asked me how I wanted it cooked. I thought it was very very odd since it was a pork dish. Maybe he was confusing it for a steak dish. It came out COVERED in onions. The queso was a bit salty and gave me velveeta vibes. Overall, the food was decent, but not the best.Dana P.2024-06-28My family visited Los Carnales Tex Mex Grill last night and we had a good experience. The service was excellent and our waiter was helpful with making suggestions. I ordered the beef chimichanga, my husband ordered the masita de puerco and our kids ordered a kids chicken burrito and cheese quesadillas. Overall, I thought the food was tasty. The pork was a little salty though. I really enjoyed the chimichanga. The meat was a short rib rather than ground beef, which is what I was expecting. It was very flavorful. I did feel that the chips seemed from a bag rather than homemade, I liked this restaurant and I would come back again.Sean P.2024-06-17**TO GO Review** 5/5 - Will Repeat, found my favorite Tex mex in Chantilly area. Call it flavor town. Containers were perfect for takeout and the food held up well. Chips, light and airy Guacamole, fresh/flavorful Tacos Al carbon Steak, must get. Shrimp Fajita, juicy and full of flavor Papusa+mix Chicken Tamale, not dry. I prefer drier ones but still full of flavor
The whole meal was delicious.
How about some simple tacos? I loved Picantes. At least Picante’s had resonable prices. This is out of my price range.
I had lunch today and everything was delicious! I had a Bloody Mary, which was spiced just right. I had the chicken fajitas, and they were probably the best I ever had! The chicken was perfectly cooked, the onions and peppers were plentiful, and the side toppings were great. The atmosphere was perfect, and the decor just right. Service was prompt and excellent in every aspect. I highly recommend this restaurant.
No more Picante! Noooo! The new place has huge boots to fill…😔
The history of Carnales is too big to compare. The picante is more than 20 years building more than 10 restaurants.
Very good food and a nice ambient
