Tres Hombres in Carbondale

Probably great food, terrible location. The salsa was delicious. However, that's all we stayed for. There were some interesting folks inhabiting the parking area (one of which was on something or experiencing a mental break as he was beating himself in the head) who seemed to have an interest in the cars in the parking lot. We went at dusk so perhaps the daytime is a better option or when school is in session, but we didnt feel comfortable walking to our car in ther dark.

Good service. Food not as good as it used to be.

Service was great, had a good beer. Barely touched my lunch. Hard beans, cold rice tough chicken.

Nice, old-school, Carbondale establishment with a pleasant staff. The acoustic ceiling tile has been painted -- it looks nice, but the acoustic properties have been compromised.

This establishment should be under new managment!!!!!! This place is a joke!!!! The hostess does not know how to book reservations when I am specific about what I want, you would think that if I have to order food in order to hold my party that they would not schedule as dumb as they do! They need to out more hostesses at the register that know what they are doing!!!! This place is unacceptable in doing things the right way!!!!!!😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

Eat outside. Inside there is a certain smell that older restaurants get when they haven't painted in a while.

Everything was good. Server was friendly.

We usually love this place but not this evening. It took about 45 minutes to get our food. Our hot wings (appetizer)came out about 10 minutes after our meal. We had to get up and ask for a refill on chips and salsa. We ordered a kids meal and she up charged us 3.00 for grilled chicken. So, my daughter's meal was almost 7.00 before we brought the amount to our server's attention. Really 3.00 for grilled chicken in a kids meal! When the server stopped by our table, very seldom, she was in a hurry.

Tres Hombres is a favorite place to eat Mexican food. It's really more a Tex-Mex restaurant They have fantastic enchiladas. My wife always orders the appetizer Beef nachos. There salsa is to die for. We eat here 2-3 times per month and have done so for the past 20 years!

Seafood enchiladas!!! Great service from a family owned business.

Cool place, they have good burgers.

Tres is my favorite restaurant in Carbondale. Their food is always good and if there is a problem they will make it right. I love this place.

Not apart of the local scenery and I've only visited once. I think this place is best for people wanting to break away from the you get college kids around the town

Chips and salsa were great to start off. The food, however, is a different story. I ordered a beef burrito. This was filled with MANWICH. It was so disgusting. The rice was dry and definitely not authentic Mexican rice. The beans were OKAY. Food is very Americanized. Service wasn’t awful, food was just subpar.

Tres is one of my favorite bars in Carbondale.

Quick service. Fresh food. Attentive waitstaff. Fair prices. I am a repeat customer.

Excellent food💯

OMG. I am highly pissed! I paid 11.50 for a large enchilada and it looked skimpy as ever! It the size of a McDonald’s breakfast sausage burrito (I kid you not). That wasn’t even filling a child up!!!! I want to give this place a negative five stars

Chips and salsa were tasty.....The ground beef burrito with queso was decent however the margaritas were repulsive.

Always a great choice! Tonight's family dining experience was exceptional, enhanced by Sam's excellent service, the tasty food, and of course reasonable pricing! Biden, Tres!

Horrible chips and guacamole, literally just mixed avocados with no seasoning. Margaritas are just mixer and bottom shelf tequila. Good for college students.

Went here from the dollar saver coupon. Got rio grande enchilada, it was covered with what seemed like mozzarella, and by itself tasted odd. The rice and chicken were dry, and bland. The whole plate seemed like it was reheated from days earlier. The refried beans were more moist than the chicken if that says anything. We both were sick afterwards also. This is a bar, not a restaurant- go for the drinks and atmosphere only. Will never be back.

Excellent, really nice place. Good food, very fun

The best Mexican we have in our area, knowing what true Mexican is ,this is the closest and unlike all of these pop up Mexican restaurants we have in all of our towns now. The rice is the worst, something they changed years ago and had been a big disappointment.

Great food and great service.

It's my spot go there a couple times a week and I enjoy it. Know a lot of the regulars and I like that it doesn't just feel like a bar. My kids can come(If I want them to) lol

Great specials.

Ok food,ok atmosphere

Good draft beer, good chips and salsa, good vegie Mexican food. Very fair prices. Great service. What's not to like!

Even though I lived in San Antonio, TX, I love the tequila chicken burrito here. The bar is also a great place for a good cocktail or beer. Great for groups or a casual date.

3.5 stars... Love the atmosphere here. I know it's changed since my college days, but they still make the best margarita around, and the mixed drinks are always poured perfectly. Owners have changed a few times, but that hasn't changed anything for me. Still a nice place to go have a cold beer, or pitcher of margaritas.

Bar tender was very attentive.

If no starts were possible that's exactly what they would get. Spent $55+ and the best thing I received was the black beans. Never again.

Tres is a Carbondale staple! Stiff drinks, great live music, and a friendly atmosphere. Their Mexican cuisine is also pretty darn good.

the only good thing about this place is the patio seating.Other than that: the food is bland (I am pretty sure the "ranchero" sauce is canned pasta sauce; the tortillas are generic; the salsa has carrots). There is nothing "Mexican" or even "TexMex" about the food. They really need to revisit their menu and get a better chef.

I love this place, Food is great, music is great. Service is Top Notch !!! My fav bar in Carbondale.

Good bar for Mexican food and entertainment.

Great atmosphere great drinks!

Had a great time with great people. I hope the lady in a red floral dress gets a pay raise

Its been 20 years since I was last there. It was the EXACT same as it was when I was in college.

Great service. Good food

Awesome margaritas! Half off on Monday. I usually enjoy it with steak quesadilla. I have been doing this almost every Monday for last three years. I highly recommend this place for quality of drinks, pricing, atmosphere and service. A+ for everything!

Bartended was very nice came by and talked a little took my to go order plus I had two drinks while I was there very nice place

Decent place with decent food. Go before games in town though.

The owner? / manager? Was very belligerent and confrontational with me for having my dogs in the patio area, trying to convince me that there was an Illinois Law prohibiting regarding dogs being in outside areas of restaurants. He was wrong but that didn't stop him from getting up in my face and posturing. You may like this restaurant otherwise, but I would feel a little uncertain about giving such a creep bully my money. This guy was ready to fight over a wrong idea.

Dry rub wings with hot BBQ sauce is A1

Like the drink specials good service but got treated like a homeless person when I tried to use the bathroom we spend hundreds monthly there and always liked the place till then

Terrible service, very slow. Waitress would not listen to us, kitchen could not prepare the right order. Had to send the food back 2 times and then told the kitchen was closed. Waitress tried to say she would take a discount off for the incorrect food and we had to advise her no we would not be paying for the food we sent back since we didn't get to eat it either. Will never be back, it was the worst!!

Bartender was hot as hell but the food was disgusting!
