C Rob · 93 Google reviewsCarbon Live Fire Mexican Grill — a mexican spot in West Town. The kind of spot that earns loyalty, not hype. The produce quality stands out immediately, and BYOB.

“Comida deliciosa. Atencio genial! Fue una agradable casualidad comer aqui. Seguro repetiremos con mi familia.”
“Carbon Live Fire Mexican Grill was delicious. We ordered three tacos: chicken, steak, and campechano. And the Stelote, and everything was flavorful and fresh. The chicken taco was our favorite, followed by the chorizo in the campechano, with the steak in third. The burrito was packed with juicy steak, sweet corn, and creamy sauce, and every bite was satisfying. My only critique is that the steak strips were a bit too long, which made them harder to eat. We tried all the salsas and loved the variety. The roasted red pepper creamy sauce was our favorite, and the spicy red sauce had a great kick. The salsa verde was tasty but could use a little more heat. Overall, the portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and we’ll definitely be back!”
“I got the elote steak burrito delivered. It was incredible! Traveled well and huge! This is my new go to!”
“Chicken burrito was amazing. I would come back here for the elotes corn cup. Fire. Tasty topo chico also is offered here.”
“Must-try burritos in town. I don’t know if you can get any better than this.”
“Anything with steak is very good. They also have Elotes that are tasty.”
“Convenient for pick up, or BYOB if you eat there. It’s convenient but food is just okay. Staff are always very kind!”
“I didn’t look at the reviews before purchasing the lime cilantro marinaded chicken Taco The other customer and I are on the same accord the chicken lime cilantro marinade was awful. It was very dry and I didn’t taste the marinade on the chicken. I didn’t care for the rice either. Maybe dip the chicken in the marinade or maybe use a juicer part of the chicken and maybe cook the onions with the cilantro. I will not be back sorry”
