What Chicago Says About Carbón

Real reviews from the neighborhood.

Larry Stubbs

This place has a simple, laid back atmosphere and has quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The food is packed with flavor, and every bite is incredibly satisfying. You can tell they put a lot of care into their recipes, and the result is authentic Mexican food that keeps you coming back for more. The ... portions are also impressive. Their burritos are huge, generously stuffed, and loaded with ingredients rather than filler. On top of that, the service is fast and efficient, with orders consistently prepared correctly and without long waits. For the best experience, I recommend picking up your food and enjoying it right away while everything is fresh and hot.

I've been coming to Carbone for years and never once have I left disappointed! Tonight was no exception, I had a phenomenal char-grilled (Al Carbon) steak burrito which completely satisfied me and made me happy! The service was super friendly and the place is small but just has a certain cool vibe about it and jamming ... to house music! 🎶

Absolutely phenomenal!! I had the chicken fajita burrito and my wife had the fish called William burrito. We both loved our food!! We also had the chips and guac which was very good too! The salsa's were amazing! Will definitely eat here again the next time we're passing through or close by the area.
