Don Taco offers the best nachos money can buy. For just $2.15 you can get a cheese nacho! The secret to Don's cult success is in the cheese. Only The Don himself knows the secret recipe. If you choose to get meat on anything go with steak. The ground beef isn't quite up to par. The Nacho Don Taco is the ultimate; piling chicken, shrimp, and steak into one delicious dish. The #1 thing I will miss when I graduate is drunken Don Taco.

This bar is very big for a college town and has lots of room to dance, sit and chat, play some darts or pool, watch the big game, and get your drink on!

This is the best store to find ANY type of book or magazine you can imagine. They have a great children's selection, and my favorite a great mystery selection. They also have audio books, and hundreds of different magazines. The best part? You can sit and read your book in the store without interruptions!

This is by far my favorite pizza. I have had pizza all across the country and none match this place for me. Uno's in chicago? pfft, not even close. I live on the east coast and sometimes have urges to jump on a plane just to get some of this pizza! This small mom and pop joint turns out amazing pizza's. Almost always packed with people, the seating limited. Typical college town strip pizza joint with college students as servers. The owners are usually there so don't worry about it not being clean. You can watch the owner point out each crumb for the busboy to clean off the carpet. If you're in Carbondale, you need to try Pag's

This is more of a TexMex rstrnt than a true Mexican restaurant. Style is a cross between mexican shabby and mom n pop joint. pretty worn out really. If your looking for a taste of ol Mexico, don't go here. Servers are college students. Cooks are probably the same. I don't know if it was the great drinks we had in the attached bar before or if it was truly good but we had a blast. You get a large amount of food and it was tasty.The Mexican hot wings are Amazing! Carbondale is a small place, Tres is one place that you need to go when your there.

Theya re lcoated downtown Carbondale and they offer very good price for your used products (ie., if you want to sell your products) but if you just want to pawn it tehn you have to pay very high interest rate to get the product back.

I came to S.I.U in 1973 and has been eating at Sam's every since. They've changed owners I think during those years but the sandwiches are still the same. Sometimes remind me of a restaurant back home in Chicago. Just needs to have a website. Doris

Every time I'm in Cdale, I have to stop by this Don Taco restaurant. (The other location by Kahala Gardens just isn't as good, and the parking stinks.) Burritos are huge... too big for me in fact. So I usually go with a Tilapia taco and/or a Chorizo taco along with a side of Pico de Gallo and Salsa Verde. These tacos have just the right amount of spicy kick. Don Taco also always has Jamaica tea and Horchata ready to drink in unlimited refills. The place is super-clean with quick service. Beats the shorts off of Taco Bell.

When I first discovered Hunan I was amazed. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very pleasing. The food tastes great and the menu is massive. Be careful with the spicy or hot dishes as the peppers they use are REALLY hot. The presentation of dishes is also very nice. Their broad range of drink selection is great as well.
PROS: Great food, large servings
CONS: Pricey

I've mostly visited the Book Worm to get rid of the many books that pile up in my room, and they always pay a fair price. The selection of used books is also very good. The few times they didn't have what I was looking for, they took down my name to call me when they got it in.
