Taqueria Don Carbon Express — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

This was the worst Mexican food, or really any food I’ve had in any restaurant in any city, and I’ve been to many taco places around Nolensville, etc, and restaurants in general in the US and other countries. Wow.

We got a side order of beans, and they were kind of gross and had no flavor at all, so we added salt, but they were still somehow gross. My daughter had asada tacos (steak), and they were actually decent. I had the barbacoa sopes, and those were what really made this place earn my worst restaurant ever rating. The meat was fatty, and I don’t mean your typical occasional chunks of fat that you might find one or two of in a taco. I mean that 75% of the meat on that thing were bite size chunks of fat. The remaining meat had a kind of soggy, disgusting, consistency. I tried removing the fat chunks and eating the remaining meat, but after several bites I was like, “why am I even eating this?

Done dealing with this place, will just order pickup from an established place...

Despite my initial anticipation, my visit to Taqueria Don Carbon Express left much to be desired. The exterior of the food truck was notably dirty, which didn't set a positive tone. While their menu boasted a variety of traditional Mexican dishes, the flavors fell short of expectations. The food was decent but lacked the vibrant and bold tastes I associate with authentic Mexican cuisine.

Overall, while Taqueria Don Carbon Express may satisfy a craving for Mexican food in a pinch, it didn't leave a lasting impression. With the cleanliness issue and lackluster flavors, it's not a top recommendation for those seeking an exceptional...
