  This might be the most authentic Mexican taco experience I've had in south Florida!!! It reminded me of my many visits to Mexico and growing up in California.
  
  I ordered a chicken taco and a taco al pastor. They were both great! The al pastor was my favorite. I just got the onion and cilantro on top- my favorite way to eat a taco and it came with a hot sauce that had the perfect amount of zip.
  
  We also ordered a salsa and a basket of chips. The salsa was fresh and so were the chips. I've been thinking of reasons to drive to Lake Worth just so I can stop and get some tacos. Maybe tacos is a good enough reason LOL. This place is totally worth the stop!!!! Please note they only have outside seating, we were they on a hot summer day... not for the faint of heart but it was still worth every second.

  Me and my girl arrived here after a quick yelp check. This place blows tacos al carbon out of the water. We had pastor and carnitas tacos and they were some of the best we have ever tasted. We will definitely return.

  This place continues to be the top taco/Mexican food in the county. A lot better than actual full service sit down restaurants. By this point I have tried everything on the menu. This place is phenomenal. The other restaurant a block south is incomparable. I urge everyone to come here and they all have agreed after trying. The pastor tacos are the treasure here.

  After eating the poorly cooked steamed meat  at Tacos Al Carbon it became hard for me to be loyal.  In search of a quality taco dive La Placinta was suggested to me in a facebook thread.   I ordered the baja fried shrimp tacos.  These are excellent.  Ordered the "Mexican" tacos w the homemade corn tortilla. Again excellent.  Finally, the mexican taco with tongue.  Excellent!
  Friendly cashier,  nice outdoor seating (clean) , shaded this is easily my favorite taco joint in S. FLORIDA.

  What a nice little spot to grab a quick meal. You order from the window and take it to go or sit outside under the patio. They have a wide range of things to choose from and apparently they make tamales once a week. I ordered a Barbacoa soft taco Mexican style and an American chicken hard taco. They were served with a hot rojo sauce and a charred jalopeno. Of course I got a Pinnapple jarritos to wash it all down. They were delicious and everything came to around $7. Tacos are $2.25-$2.50 each. I'll be back to try other items on the menu sometime soon.

  Good casual Mexican restaurant.  
  No waitress service.  Order at the window.
  No inside space but many tables outside.
  Very good food at a low price.  We had the shrimp, spice pork and pulled beef tacos. Great flavor.  Huge menu with MANY options.
  I'll be back!
