This was our first time ordering from Carbon (steak burritos, chips and salsa, small sides of rice & beans, & an horchata). We were initially disappointed by the size of the burritos (on the smaller side) but they tasted phenomenal! The steak melted in our mouths, so tender! Meat was well seasoned & packed with flavor. Chips & mild salsa were also good. The salsa was a bit salty IMO, but still better than average. The rice and beans were DELICIOUS! Beans are not typical refried fare, but rather a mix of whole black/red beans in a bean sauce. My horchata must be on the milky side, not too sweet, & not watered down with ice. Gotta say this horchata was one of the best I've ever had!!! The green sauce was EXCELLENT - not too spicy & tasted freshly made. The roasted pepper sauce is more of a spicy mayo which is not my thing. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone on the fence. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

This is the best Mexican food delivery I have ever had, especially if you like authentic Mexican like I do. I love steak tacos on corn toritillas with cilantro and onions and these are really good. I imagine they are great in the restaurant. I was surprised to discover the Tequila-Lime Chicken burrito was AWESOME! The flavor was great. They use very fresh ingredients and don't skimp on meat. The homemade salsas are very good too and the guacamole is excellent. It has tomatoes and cilantro in it, very good flavor. The delivery driver was extremely nice and they were about 20 minutes early. Will definitely order from here again and can't wait to actually go to the restaurant.

Amazing! We ordered the steak burrito (great meat, none of the bad pieces you get at other places), a quesadilla, fish taco, key lime desert, horchata, rice and beans...everything was super DELICIOUS and FRESH!! The fish taco was twice the size I expected, the red pepper sauce was just the right amount of spicy and the pinapple salsa was chunky and really complemented the taco. I'm so happy to have finally found a place to order great mexican from. Also, whoever answered the phone was helpful and pleasant, the delivery guys are happy and friendly! Such a great experience we ordered from them twice in one week!

Wow! This was such great food. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the Mexican rice, which was nothing to write home about, but decent I suppose. I LOVED the fish tacos. They were perfect and the sauce was to die for... I also had a chicken taco with cheese, and the chicken was so juicy and tender. Finally, I got a large order of elote. WOW!!!!! I inhaled it, and wanted more, and woke up the next day thinking I wanted to order it again! haha Also, on a side note, the estimated delivery time was 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it arrived in about 40 minutes which was a wonderful surprise.

I felt bad placing an order 10 minutes before they closed last night, but was super hungry and nothing else at the time looked appealing. Ordered the Guacamole/ chips, a couple chicken tacos, and a couple steak tacos. Everything was really good, maybe a little too much salt and lime in the guac, not alot, just a little too much - but overall still excellent. The chicken and steak quality was top notch, was actual sizable pieces of chicken and steak that was not dried out and very juicy and filling. Oh and the corn tortillas were excellent too - ordering again right now !!!

Carbon started in Chicago in 2007 in the Bridgeport neighborhood. Chicago is known for pizza and hot dogs, but before we are done Chicago will also be known for Carbon's tacos and burritos! We Opened Our second location in Chicago in the Ukrainian Village area and have been serving the best burritos and tacos there since 2011. Our purpose is to provide our customers with delicious healthy Mexican food at a competitive price. At Carbon we pride ourselves on serving High Quality Mexican food for the most refined palate that also has High Value for the strictest of budgets. Carbon believes in serving Mexican food that sets the standard for quality and flavor. At Carbon we use a more tender steak than other Mexican restaurants. Since the steak is more tender and carries a better flavor, we do not need to chop it up in little pieces. When you bite into our steak burrito you will get a mouthful of large chunks of tender flavorful steak. You will never eat anything called re-fried here. We use a fat free blend of whole beans and for our rice, nothing but real brown rice. Our tortillas are cooked using only olive oil and if you are looking for something even healthier you can choose to receive your taco or burrito on a whole wheat tortilla. We will not put lettuce and tomato on unless you ask us and if you do you will be pleasantly surprised to be eating crisp romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes. Our vegetable tacos are made with red bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions roasted right in front of you. We also include a very high quality Portabella mushroom in our vegetable blend. Your Mom would be proud that you eat at Carbon Live Fire Mexican grill. Whether you are looking to get a catering order for your next meeting, a delivery for your late lunch, a pick up order for the ride home or you want to sit down and watch the game with a margarita at our 26th St location, Carbon will exceed your dining expectations!
