An they need to watch not over charring that chicken just a bit. ![]() They have rice, beans, macaroni salad, and others. I just think they need to sell individual sides as well as the family size ones. And they have a drive thru so it's a quick fresh meal and you never leave the car. They also have fajitas, beef and chicken and some sandwiches and things but I think their mesquite grilled chicken is the main draw, and it's on point. All other combos and the way they sell their sides is large family size meals. Now thats not bad, but that's really all for an individual. They have a combo meal with 3 chicken pieces, two sides, all the salsas, the toreado, the tortillas and a drink for $12.97 + tax. In any case, for $5, this is a perfect lunch or quick meal for one. ![]() That's fine I guess, but I just put butter in them and are them with my bird, as I tire pieces of it off and dipped in the salsas or added a bite of roasted jalapeno. I guess this is so you can tear your bird apart and make tacos with the salsas. You also get about 4 warm SQUARE CORN TORTILLAS. And the roasted Jalapeno, has not been hot any time I've gotten it, which is fine with me! It's like having a bit of green chile to eat along with your bird. They could use a bit more vinegar in their pickle brine, but they are ok. The third "salsa" is just a weakly pickled red onions. Depends on the jalapenos on the heat level apparently because one time it's super hot and another one its not nearly as hot but super flavorful. Too hot for me! But the Green Salsa is a fresh crushed jalapenos and tomatoes and cilantro salsa. The salsas are a red fiery hot one similar to Valentina Hot Sauce. The Mesquite wood fire and slightly smokey flavor is all this grilled bird needed anyway. There doesn't appear to be a bunch of seasoning that I could see or taste. It's a nice tender chicken, helped by being on the bone and basted by the melting fat from the skin. I wouldn't call it juicy, it's not, but it's not DRY. I got one that was about over charred, and very BLACK and toughened that area of meat but the next time I went the chicken was perfect. Good smoke and char on the skin and part of the meat. (Is that right? It's a roasted jalapeno) the Chicken Breast is a really nice size, no scrawny bird. Comes with salsas, tortillas, and a toreado. Turns out they have a ONE PIECE BREAST, for $5 with tax. But could a "fast food" type place capture that same essence and cure my cravings? Well I'm here to say Don Carbon Mesquite Grill CAN and did. Not a lot of seasoning needed, just salt and pepper and smoke and fire. My dad used to make one or two chickens a weekend over charcoal and wood chips on a barrel Bbq pit and we'd have chicken all week. But I wasn't sure I'd like it and didn't wanna spend money and hate it and the thing is most places I get grilled chicken is WAY over cooked to the point of burnt and I just didn't wanna risk it. ![]()
