Well presented food. I preferred the guac and chips over the burrito, but the pricey was shocking for that guac/chip combo.
However, I think it was worth it. The burrito was a little underwhelming, especially in size and flavor. Parking could be tricky. But I got lucky and was able to park right outside the establishment.
Also, was able to eat outside and I wasn't impacted by the rain despite it being slightly chilly.
Indoor seating seems a little bit limited.
Purchased the "Mother Clucker" chicken burrito and the "Stelote" burrito, which is chopped steak and elite corn. Along with a side of black beans and rice... Wow! Both were fantastic. Great small spot to lunch. Next door, they remodeled their dining area with a different menu, which I will have to try another day.
This restaurant is fantastic! The drinks are 10/10 .. I can’t remember the last time I had 2 of the cucumber margaritas that made me feel at home with the natural ingredients. The staff are wonderful and very respectful. Salvador is fantastic, with a warming and comforting personality. The flautas are crispy, tasty, and filling. The green salsa is my favorite one yet.. and I have many to choose from. Will be coming back again! The tequila options are beautiful and the shots are just as good as the drinks.
Thank you Salvador for the hospitality!
I ordered through Uber eats, so I’m not sure about the atmosphere or service. I ordered a chicken burrito and one steak taco. The steak taco was delicious. The chicken burrito was dis appointing and a tad bit dry.
This place has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The flavors in their food are so rich and delicious that every bite feels like a flavor explosion! It's genuinely authentic Mexican cuisine, and they're generous with their ingredients. Their burritos are massive and always packed full. Plus, they're incredibly fast and efficient—I've never had to wait, and they've never made a mistake on any of my orders. I prefer to take my food to go and enjoy it right away for the best experience. Carbon never fails to impress! ????????????
Pretty good, I think what I got was called fish of William, chicken taco for my child, and chips and salsa. It was very delicious, and portion size was generous. It was more than what I could finish. I do want to say that there was a mild sweet taste to it. This did not bother me, I thought it complimented the dish, but I could see someone else being put off by it. The chips and salsa were also very good. Service was exceptional, they were kind, quick, and prompt. Seating was very small. We came in with four people and had to sit at the bar. Overall very happy for my first dining experience in Chicago.
The things you find under expressways aren’t always bad. Like Carbón Live Fire Mexican Grill for example. There they are serving up some of Chicago’s best Mexican food. On my visit I tried the Stelote which combines two of my favorite things, tender steak and elotes. All wrapped up in a flour tortilla served with onions, cilantro and crema. Had to try a barbacoa taco as well. Didn’t enjoy it as much as the burrito but still good. Washed it all down with a bottle of Coke from Mexico. Who has two thumbs and was very satisfied? This guy!
This place is now one of my favorite loval spots. Their food has so much flavor I’m literally having a mouthgasm with every bite :) It is truly authentic Mexican food. And they don’t skimp on ingredients. Their burritos are gigantic and always super stuffed. They’re also super fast and efficient. Never a wait and no mistakes on any orders I placed with them. I never ate in, I always take it to go. I recommend picking up and eating it right away for best experience. Carbon never disappoints ????????????
