El Carnicero - Lakewood

I hardly know where to begin. The service was outstanding from beginning to end. The food was incredible—truly exceptional. The crème brûlée was a delightful finale. This was my first visit, and it definitely won’t be my last. Thank you!

My husband and I come here often. It's one of our go to spots when we don't know where else to go for dinner. We love the guac selection and the food is always delicious. Our favorite is the barbacoa. They also have in-house hot sauce, which is fire ? (literally). Dietary restrictions: Great GF options!

First time at El Carnicero, I definitely would recommend this restaurant and would like to go again, the only criticism I have was the waitress, the menu is different and Even that I understand it was busy and probably understaff for the evening, I feel the waitress wasn 't very helpful, explaining the menu .. sometimes one doesn 't want to come across like an ignorant, for struggling with something as simple as chips salsa? The truth is the average person never have to choose salsa other than mild or hot, I asked the waitresses which one is the most traditional? And she told me depends what 's traditional for you without giving me any suggestions..I ask for a beer, she never came to check if I wanted another one, and the restaurant has a nice bar I 'm sure selling drinks is a most, so that can be improved, the food was delicious, the Guy who brought the food was very friendly,and the presentation was upscale.. the restaurant style is unique, and ambient very relax and laid back.

First time here, but will not be the last. Loved the atmosphere, food was amazing, and the margaritas are sooo good!Was a first date so a lot more chatting than ordering but the waiter was so great. Checked on us, but not pushy or trying to hurry us at all, which was appreciated.We both agreed the food was delicious and we'll definitely be back!The queso is the best I've had anywhere else in the area. We shared the blue corn enchiladas which was so good! Highly recommend.
