El Paisano Restaurant At The Carmin

I’ve been studying at ASU for about two months, and honestly, this is hands down the best local restaurant I’ve ever been to! I’ve already eaten here around 20 times because the food is just that good. Every meal is packed with amazing flavor, and the portions are huge for the price — you really get incredible value here. The atmosphere is super comfortable, with great seating and a welcoming vibe that makes you feel at home every time. A huge shoutout to Abo Naser, who always gives the best service — he’s friendly, attentive, and makes every visit even better. Everything about this place is perfect: the food, the prices, the service, and the people. If you’re anywhere nearby, you have to try it. You’ll definitely come back again and again like I did!

Visiting from Colorado and the staff here definitely made us feel right at home. The food is superb, authentic flavor for sure! And they gave my son a free cake for his birthday! Very pleased with this restaurant!

We were both young when I first saw you, I close my eyes and the tacos start to bloom. In Tempe air, on Mill Ave glare, I see the queso lights, the carne divine — see the waiter smile as he brings me fries, and sayin’, “Welcome to El Paisano’s tonight.” And I said, “Paisano, take me somewhere the salsa flows!” I’ll be waitin’, where the churros always glow. You’ll be the chef and I’ll be the one who stays — it’s a love story, baby bring more plates. Pulled up hungry, burritos on my mind, My heart said “yes” by the very first bite. I close my eyes, the horchata’s right, I’m taste-trippin’ back to heaven tonight. And I said, “Paisano, take me somewhere the tacos roll!” Add extra cheese, yeah, I’m losing control. They say the calories don’t count on dates — it’s a love story, baby bring more plates. Bridge Romeo, save me, I’ve been feelin’ hangry, These chips and guac hit sweet and tangy. It’s real love, no debate — carne asada is my soulmate. And I said, “Paisano, take me somewhere the music plays,” Margarita salt like glitter on my face. We’ll live happily ever after the taste — it’s a love story, baby just bring more plates.

Great halal Spanish food. Definitely did not cheap out on the portions & very clean restroom and overall facility. These business owners and operators know how to run a success food joint. This is definitely on my list to revisit when I come back to Arizona. May your success be endless. Ameen.

I drove for about 50 minutes from my home to this place to try the Halal food. I will tell you it is worth the time. The food was so tasty and the service was fantastic and friendly. I will come back here again for sure. Update: I came back and I was not disappointed with food or the service.

Wow, great food, great service. Smiling employees. Portions are huge and not pricy. For folks like me, not very familiar with Mexican food it is little overwhelming to make a selection. There are just too many options. You can park at the adjacent garage , just pay attention to signs for retail parking.

Food was good with big portions. The steak quesadilla with guacamole and sour cream on the side was delicious. Nice little restaurant as well in a great location. There is an outside sitting area. Food didn’t take long and was made fresh. I also liked their watermelon drink. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION GO NOW
