Al Carbon Pollos Asados - Culebra #1 — Restaurant in San Antonio

Update May 2022- prices went up and the quality isn't the same. A whole chicken, 1lb of fajita, 3 orders of beans and 1 lemonade is $60. Fajitas aren't the same, texture and taste, y'all have lost my business. We were picking up once a week, even with the higher prices but nah, taking a hard pass after this last time.

It's crazy dead and it's the same owner as the one near I-10 like 2 blocks away why they would but another location that close, go figure. Lol.

The grilled onions and grilled jalapeño were just beautiful extras. The service was great (Elsa?) The tea was fresh. And then there is the rice and beans. Listen I would go here just for those. Hands down the best. You have to mix them of course. Beans are a bit spicy, umm. And then the green chili sauce... delectable, FYI they sell it. Tell your chicken friends that you found a place for...

My pet peeve is when you purchase a $4 cup of rice and there’s 2 inches missing off the top. Why not just fill it to the top rice is one of the cheapest things you can purchase wholesale. There is no need to be like Bill Millers. This is not the first time it’s happened, the other time I went thru the drive thru & purchased a large rice & bean for over $16 for 32 oz cups. The rice was again skimped off the top and the beans were mostly bean broth. If this has happened to you, make sure to express your concerns.
