Al Carbon Restaurant

Amazing food and service. Great for dining in but also for carry out. Food that tastes like it’s made with love.

The bandeja paisa was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the maracuyá juice was fresh and refreshing. Authentic Colombian flavors—highly recommended!

Wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the scam they run here. When you get your check they always charge you higher than the menu list price, on EVERY item. One of the items I got was listed on the special board right in front of them and they increased the price on the bill. When you point it out, they can’t speak enough well and say “yours was different.” This is the second time this exact thing has happened here. Also have hidden credit card charges, by the end of it your bill will be 30-40% higher than it should be and staff will not help because of the language barrier. Would avoid this place at all costs. Food was nothing special.

Great food and cozy seating quality and service from the waiter and large selection pf beverages parking is a little tight depending on time and day will highly recommend

I absolutely love their breakfasts and opt for either the desayuno típico, or their bandeja paisa. Both are delicious!

Went with my family for lunch. Do not come here unless you want to waste your money. The rice was mushy and hard at the same time. Beans and tortillas taste very old. Pupusas were terrible, I have never seen pupusas with whole beans in them. Don't do it!

Love these guys! I'm a regular, and they're always a great place for either a quick bite, a hearty dinner or even a party. The prices are fair, and you get plenty of food. It's all really tasty! But, you definitely need to know what you're ordering. I get help from my Venezuelan and Mexican friends when they're around, and I've learned the menu. Suffice to say, both of them think this place is fire, and I do too.

Always in search of good South of the border food I visited this Tex-Mex restaurant as the suggestion from another foodie I was with. As we were walking through the parking lot there appeared to be a karaoke singer entertaining the patrons in the restaurant. It turns out that there was a very large party being hosted there for a birthday celebration. I'm not too sure if the live entertainment was there for the celebration or that's something that they do every Saturday night. The food was good and the atmosphere was appropriate to the food. The party took up more than 2/3 of the dining area in celebration and the music was very loud, almost distractingly loud. I had the steak tacos and they were very tasty but the beans were quite interesting to say the least. The rice would be a traditional Tex-Mex rice and not a Spanish rice. Nonetheless it was worth the trip and when I go back I will make sure when I'm walking through the parking lot that there is not a singer entertaining the restaurant patrons So if you like good Tex-Mex and you're in to Gaithersburg area stop by and give him a shot, and apparently there's more than one restaurant
