Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Ok, first I judge Mexican right off the top by their salsa. Awesome and a bit different than others. Value is great, 6.75 for a big smothered burrito. And their pastor was fresh. Great value.

I grew up in San Diego so I have a high bar for good Mexican food. And in my mind chimichangas are not Mexican food and we find that often in Mexican restaurants. I'm always so sad. But here, oh my god,it was delicious. They have huarches, tacos and nopales on the menu. It was absolutely fabulous. Dont let the outside fool you. It is a wonderful place. If you speak Spanish, it's a plus. But it's not a necessity. Great Spanish television and great Mexican music.

I have eaten here about twelve times in the last six months. On this trip I ordered iced tea as i always do and was told no tea. Ok, so my wife and i got water. We both ordered the pachuga berracha( pardon the spelling) with mushrooms added. The waitress nodded her head and said yes and then left. She never asked us if we wanted corn or flour tortilla's so we got her attention and told her corn. When our food got there the mushrooms were missing so we told the waitress. It was at that point that we realized that she couldn't speak a lick of english. She got the boss who had just walked in minutes before to translate. Then when our food was brought back with the mushrooms I tried to get her attention for more water by raising my hand and saying miss but she turned quickly away and did not look in our direction for the next five minutes so i finally had to take my glass up to the counter and ask for a refill. The food here has always been good and I know it is a mexican establishment but how do you put a waitress on the floor that can't speak english.

Came to this hole in the wall expecting great mexican food, left with terrible food poisoning. The food got cold really fast and wasn't very good. The bathrooms were very dirty and the lighting in the overall restaurant was dark and danky. Service was terrible, the waitress barely knew English (luckily we know spanish) and claimed her manager wasn't there when we needed to discuss a problem. Also overpriced. According to the health department these guys don't wash their produce all so well which is why i got food poisioning :( they have multiple counts against them, i hope they close soon or learn how to run a business. Don't make the same mistake as me and listen to the good reviews on here unless you want your stomach turned inside out.

Stop 1 on the November 7th 2009 Taco Tour... Great Pick Thomas S! Though I'd never drive out to Aurora when I know there's one a lot closer, still super yummy. The tacos were great and the service was friendly and fast. We were even treated to a sample at the end of the meal.

Somewhere in the Middle East, something magical occurred when Gyros was invented. The spit-cooked Lamb with a little mystery involved in the preparation of it may invoke gastrointestinal terror in some but I am not to be counted among them. But while the Lamb is a tasty animal, the poor Lamb also has serious competition. And in a war of deliciousness, Lamb stands little chance against Pig. Sadly, people don't eat a lot of Pork in the Middle East for various cultural reasons. But knowledge of how tasty Pork is has proven difficult to restrain. So at some point someone got smart, got the hell out of the Middle East and moved to Mexico, probably just so they could start cooking Pork in the same way that you cook Gyros. And that's when something magical happened all over again, and that something is called Al Pastor. I've had a now months-long tradition of being hungover on Monday mornings due to various lifestyle choices that I won't go into right now. All I will say is that bad decisions are fun. Just like Gyro meat cures what ails me at 2 AM on a Sunday morning, my new traditions have Al Pastor treating those same conditions on Monday mornings. So thank goodness some of the best Mexican restaurants in town are open for breakfast. And that's where Los Carboncitos came to my rescue. I had a wonderful Al Pastor plate, with a stack of corn tortillas. Their 4 complimentary salsas make quite the impression and are great to throw onto your entree, too. Although I will say that none of their salsas really stood out as my favorite, and I liked the tomatillo the least. This place is easy to miss and very nondescript from the outside, but the interior is warm and bright, and way more inviting than you might expect. The service was great. It's a little out of the way, but on this day it was well worth it.

This place doesn't even deserve 1star what I got when I went to this place rude servers horrible food I got some chile rellenos that tasted refrigerated eww the rice was salty the beans no flavor. That salsa that they give u with chips looked its been there days or like it was somebody else leftovers it looked dry and cracked from the top as if it was really old Being Mexican I could say this is the worst place and worst food I've ever eaten in my life I should of just stayed home and cooked something for myself I can't believe I payed for this the place was dirty too.

Located in a strange strip mall that looks more like an office park, Los Carboncitos in Aurora offers virtually the same experience that you'd receive in the Denver locations, including the same menu, the same cheerful and attentive service, the same house-made corn tortillas, the same four salsa varieties and even the same signature yellow and orange interior. What differs about this location is the offering of free tostada chips to sample the salsas. I did notice that the salsas here were significantly more mild than their sister store at Pecos, though just as flavorful. Also unique to this location is the availability of cerveza. Que bueno! I wonder if the availability of beer at this location says anything about the reported bureaucratic hurdles to obtain a liquor license in the City of Denver. Maybe? Awesome new discovery. Holy moly, this place has some great mole! The pastor is also some of the best in metro Denver.

Yum! I always order the smothered al pastor burrito no rice- amazing every time! My mom and I went together and were the only güeras eating there. We got a few stares but the waitress was very nice and patient- the menu is pretty big, especially for your first time. Great service- just enough but definitely not annoyingly-too-much. I like that you can see the kitchen and watch the cooks make your dish while you wait. I can't help but stare at the al pastor on the spit... Makes my mouth water!

This is the 3rd Location of Los Carboncitos in town that we have been to. This recent visit was on Sunday August 3rd 2014. After running some errands, Hubs and I decide to head to this establishment for a Late Lunch, EARLY Dinner. Time was about 16:30hrs. Man, when we came at that hour, this place is indeed jam packed. We managed to find seats all the way back on the Right Wing of this establishment. Once seated, we realized, there are The Menu is ALREADY "lay" on the Table itself. I feel a little odd about this, but just go with the flow. From the Menu, I opt for the following items : * 1 Taco Tripa ($2.00) * 1 Taco Lengua ($2.00) * 1 Taco Cabeza ($1.50) While Hubs opt to have the following items : * 4 Tacos Bistec ($6.00) * 1 Burrito Bistec Smothered ($6.75) * 1 Mexican Soda ($2.50) The lovely staff brought out the Complimentary Chips and Salsa while we wait for our order to be ready. Hubs like the Salsa, and Hubs said, it tasted "home-made"... Once the Complimentary Chips were gone, the Staff comes back with another Plate of Complimentary Chips. Man, those Chips are indeed addictive perhaps so, we were hungry. Our order was sent to our table after like a few minutes of waiting about 16:50hrs ish. The Taco meat though plenty, its doable. I am OK with everything I had. The Tripa is crunchy. Err, I cannot differentiate between Lengua and Cabeza for this time around, coz both meats looks the same but have different flavors and its definitely tender. Hubs once again like all the 4 salsa variety that this establishment did offer. The Burrito Bistec comes with Rice and Beans in it, which Hubs like it a lot. All in all 3.5 stars for this establishment and we don't mind returning when needed. Call ahead in case they close early during their operation hours. It seems that during Thursdays thru Saturdays this establishment offer LATE EATS till 1 am or so. SCORE!! Left this establishment at 17:10hrs. Many more patrons came by be it while we were there and when we left. The opening hours for Los Carboncitos (Aurora Location) is as following : * Sunday - Wednesday : 9am to 11:00pm * Thursday - Saturday : 9am to 1:30am Los Carboncitos (AURORA Location) 15210 E 6th Ave, Unit 6 & 7 Aurora, CO 80011 Tel : (303)-364-2606 loscarboncitos.com @153/2014

(4)Aaron B.
Wow not so great. I got the carne asada and it was really tough. Slow service even though it was only about 15% full. Very disappointing.

Okay--We went here hoping for an absolutely wonderful Mexican food place. (Not Tex-Mex--But Mexican!). You drop in and seat yourself. I was happy to see homemade corn tortilla's on the front of the menu. Something to look forward too! So we ordered. Me, I ordered chicken breast, beans, rice, salad and corn tortillas. My gentleman ordered a Torta and three taco's. We were served chips and salsa.. OH FINALLY, homemade salsa! It was very tasty and worthwhile! Then we realized--45 minutes until the Walking Dead starts, and we are 30 minutes from home. Yikes--To go please?! You know--Priorities? LOL The server was super nice (yes we tipped, because we sat and had chips). Out comes our order, and out we go. Once home, I sat down with my wonderful chicken. The beans and rice were quite a small portion. So was the salad. Perhaps because they half filled the little cubbyholes that were in the Styrofoam container only, and they were sort of small? Perhaps so?! The chicken was tasty, but my highlight was the corn tortillas. (YUMM!!) The gentleman got a HUGE torta. He said it was pretty good, and the taco's had great flavor, and really good homemade salsas. Overall, it was good food. But not overly fantastic. I will look to go back, when we can sit down and enjoy the ambiance of this dive location and try something else and update in the future.

The only reason I came to this restaurant was because my favorite restaurant which was a little hidden gem called "antojitos DF" closed down.. Sadly carboncitos didn't hit the spot like the other place .. I had a smothered burrito an adobada taco and some chilles rellenos... I don't like to bad mouth a place over a couple of dishes so I plan to come back and maybe try something different out but so far it's not a great traditional Mexican restaurant
(2)Shannon H.
The food here is absolutely fabtastic. Seriously, everything we had was outstanding. The only reason it got 4 stars is the service was good but not excellent. We waited a short moment for refills and our servers spoke to us minimally. To be clear, the service was not at all bad, jut not perfect, you know? I absolutely recommend this place.
(4)Eric C.
I enjoy that it is not just the same old items that most other Mexican restaurants serve. They have quite a few mixed meat skillet meals that they serve up with tortillas as well as several types of tacos and entree platters. The taste is good and they provide four types of salsas for the meal. The platter size is large and the two times I have been here I have quite a bit to take home with me. The servers were friendly and attentive.

Great Mexican food, in Aurora!! Admittedly i've only tried a few Mexican food places in Aurora, mostly because the 1st few I tried were so disappointing, that I simply decided that GREAT Mexican food in Aurora would be unattainable. Well, enter Los Carboncitos to dispel my myth. Went here on a Friday evening. It's in somewhat of an older and run down strip mall on the southwest corner of 6th and Buckley a few doors down from a liquor store. I walk in, it is nicely decorated, plenty of seating. There is some Mexican music playing from the juke-box in the back. We pick our own table and sit down. Grab a few extra menus from a neighboring table, (our 4top had 2 menus and 2 silverware wraps). The menu is awesome, lots of selection from seafood to fajitas, tacos to tortas. Even a kids menu with all the faves, burgers, nuggets, etc. You are also presented with a dish of chips and a carousel of 4 of some of the the tastiest salsas I've ever had!! For dinner My wife ordered a steak quesadilla, my daughter ordered a carne asada plate, I had the Torta Cubana, and the little one...well she just had nuggets AGAIN. Everything was well prepared and hot. The food is brought out AS IT's ready so not everyone get's their food at the exact same time. If you live in or happen to be in Aurora, you will definitely NOT regret stopping here for a great plate of Mexican food!

Always looking for authentic mexican food and Los Carboncitos fits the bill. This is not your Americanized Mexican fare. They do have your basic Tacos and Burritos but I was really impressed with the selection of specials. I had the Al Pastor and steak combination plate and it was great, excellent flavor and the corn tortillas were warm and fresh. My mom had the tacquitos and loved them she thought the margarita was a little below average. I would definitely eat here again.

Los Carboncitos is a great asset to the Aurora area, which sometimes suffers from a sparse existence of quality, non-commercial dining locales. With an open kitchen, open bar, fancy-tech jukebox, and television screens keeping fans up to date on futbol stats, Los Carboncitos is definitely a laid back environment for any group, even kids. Although the corn tortillas are house-made, the tacos are not a star player. I usually stop in for a smothered burrito ($5.75) which is made with 3 well-balanced layers of rice, meat, and refried beans. Overall, the flavors are simple and tasty. Every table is provided complimentary tortilla chips and a round of different salsas (e.g. chipotle, tomatillo). FYI, only the first round of chips are free. The menu is in English, with detailed photos, and the service is nice. If you want some reliable, genuine Mexican food, Los Carboncitos is definitely a top pick.

Great food, great service! I took some co-workers there and now they all go there at least every week...authentic Mexico City food without all the crime and smog and this is coming from a Mexican!
(5)Terrisa H.
Dined here yesterday around 1:30pm - clearly missed the lunch hour because we were the only two people there - - which might lead one to believe that service would be quick and attentive. Um....NO, apparently at that hour of the day they just assume that you have all the time in the world and they just let you sit there and wait. I don't remember the last time I waited so long for food to come out, for a water refill, or to get my credit card back after I gave it to them. I lost my sense of humor about the SLOW service when the third dish we ordered came out 1/2 hour after the first one. No apologies, excuses...nothing - when we asked about where the rest of the food was, they just said, "oh yeah, it's coming up", and then another 10 minutes later...... I had my meal. Good thing my husband and I had planned to share, or I would have sat there for 30 mins. waiting to eat while he ate his food. So - on to the food.... The Alambre de Camaron was good, but the cheese hadn't melted completely so it wasn't quite right, but the corn tortillas with it were excellent. Nothing but good things to say about the Huaraches - chicken and chorizo one was perfect - everything about it was great. The steak burrito, however, was not good at all - first of all, I'm not a fan of rice in my burritos, and this rice was not even as fresh as Taco Bell rice - seemed like leftovers. I paid $1 to get it smothered, and they apparently have a very different definition of "smothered" than I do, because I had maybe a couple tablespoons of green chile around the edges of the plate. So, to sum up - we won't be back here - at least to this location - (which speaking of location - this one sucks, seedy characters hanging around and is not easy to get in and out of ) we will likely try another Carboncitos location - but will stick to the Alambres and Huaraches.
