Really (Really) Authentic Mexican at Tacos Al Carbon in Lake Worth!!

If you're still full from Alice's afternoon Indian luncheon, I'd advise you NOT to come out where I've been eating for years.

The building is small and must date from the 1950s, the functional equivalent of Mesopotamian times in Florida.

The menu has more than just tacos.

Many eat here who speak Spanish.

Important: We'll gather OUTSIDE at 6 pm to eat together although that's unlikely to happen because of the restaurant's size.

The goal for this particular event is to sit next to and across from (if you can) people you've never met before.

Please don't confuse the brick-and-mortar restaurant with the food truck and outside benches very close by.

And of course, this post wouldn't be complete without the pesky group rules:

1. Entrees must be ordered assuming the event isn’t a buffet. Pizza is an entree. Breadsticks are not.

2. Political and religious discourse is strongly discouraged.

3. Please show up if you RSVP.

4. Please un-RSVP within 12 hours of the event if you cannot attend.

5. Please try to show up within 15 minutes of the time of the event.
Arriving later may disrupt the experience of other members who have arrived on time and begun the ordering process.

6. Please don't message the entire group if you won't be attending an event. Instead, un-RSVP and privately contact those who were expecting you to attend.

7. A "3 strikes and you're out" policy is in effect without exception for repeated no-shows and late cancellations. There will be no reminders to members as to their status. Your action or inaction may deprive a waitlisted member of a place at our table.

8. The best efforts will be made to offer you a positive culinary and social experience. Your positivity is necessary to complete the circle of fun. As such, negative words toward myself or other group members whether verbally or through Meetup related to restaurant choices, times chosen, or group policies would be best left unsaid.

9. Being made uncomfortable by a fellow member necessitates changing seats or a mental note not to sit together again. With this said, the group has zero tolerance for harassment.
