Al Carbon - Charlottesville

I really enjoy the food, and the atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed, just as you would anticipate! It's clean and absolutely delicious.

The food is consistently great, and the service is always friendly. The chicken is fantastic, and my son's favorite dish is the tacos.

I absolutely love the choriqueso—it's now my second favorite food of all time! The chicken is great too. Don't forget to try the horchata! - 10-year-old reviewer

I placed my order online while waiting in the parking lot. My order was ready on time and was being placed on the counter as soon as I entered the restaurant. Took it back home to Richmond, VA. My grub: Quarter chicken (dark meat): amazing Ribs: I will now be driving to Charlottesville specifically for these ribs. They're sauced with something sweet and a little tangy, and they fell off the bone. Roasted veggies: undercooked for my taste, but I roasted them a little more in the oven and they were fine. Poblano rice: amazing Tamal con frijoles: good I also tried all the sauces but didn't know which was which. The creamier ones were my fave.

Service: Takeout Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20 Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended dishes: Chicken Cemita, Esquites, Tamales
