    The chicken tortilla soup is really good. Get a side of Mexican cheese for 50 cents and add some medium green salsa. Mix. Eat. Trust me.

    Carbon serves a killer carne asada taco, though the fried fish taco is also surprisingly good.

    The tacos aren’t very flavorful and they’re a bit pricey. There’s so many better choices for tacos in Chicago

    The fish tacos are some of my favorite. Also the burrito with elotes is the balls.

    Order a Mother Clucker burrito! It's massive and can easily be shared with a couple people.

    Not the most "authentic" Mexican food in Chicago, but the tilapia burrito & elote make a good meal.

    Don't go here. That's my tip. Bad service, rude workers, and the burrito I waited 20 min for (even though I was the only one in line) was gross.

    This use to be a great place.. They screwed up my order twice today.. Seriously.. Is it that hard to make a chicken ceasar salad?!? How hard is "no ceasar dressing"?!?

    By far the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The chicken is absolutely vile. Extremely fatty/tendony. Leave.
