bdlngton Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just curious as I pass it all the time. Does anybody eat there? It always seems empty. Why? How does it stay in business? Has anyone eaten at another branch of El Carnal, like in Guadalajara? I have to wonder how fresh seafood could possibly be at a restaurant that never has customers. Being employed there must be an extremely boring job with virtually no tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Never anyone there, and I pass it several times a day (San Antonio). El Carnal on the curves heading to SJC is just awful, and overpriced. Certainly I checked the menu when this one opened and uncovered what to me were outrageous prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 The El Carnal in San Antonio also has very few customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have eaten at El Carnel in Piedra Barrenada several times. The food was okay. Service can be good or so so even if they aren't very busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandol Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 The branch on the Carretera heading north is also terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 I was going to go there to check it out, because I live in San Antonio. I read the reviews in Trip Advisor. They are almost all from Guad weekend visitors. Not only did we not go there, it almost put me off restaurants for life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 Years ago I ate at El Carnal, somewhere along the highway between Chapala and GDL on the west side of the highway. It was really really really (did I say really?) bad and I have never gone back to any of their sucursales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are referring to speculation that it is a front for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Posted May 2, 2019 Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 But then again, perhaps they are just the red headed step child to their place in GDL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
