I came in a little bit before 1pm on a Saturday. I was instantly greeted and taken to a booth. My server was both professional and very friendly. I ordered the lunch fajitas and it was served quickly and very hot with all the expected sides. This place has some really gentle music and a tv with sport playing in the back room. Overall I enjoyed the meal and believe that the restaurant should be way busier than it is if this is the quality and value they provide for lunch. read more

Food was delish. I ordered the chicken Fajita and a Cadillac Margarita. No complaints. Very quiet as we arrived for an early dinner. ONLY issue was the salsa that was served with the chips before dinner was watery and was dripping on to the table with every scoop . read more

The food and service were excellent. We ordered the Carne Asada and the Chicken Fajitas. There were very few customers there, even for a Wednesday, which I don't understand. The place should be full. Pedro, our waiter/maitre d', was attentive and knew what he was doing. The restaurant is clean and bright, with an inviting menu. It was our first visit, and we'll be back. read more

This mexican steakhouse in silverdale is quite good but very expensive. The steak is very tender and tasty. I love their tacos, no doubt. However, I would only go back if it were an extra extra special occasion, like to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Delicious food and really good customer service was what stood out for me. The price was a little extraordinary and that will keep me from going back either anytime soon, or often. read more

We will not be coming back here. We had such high hopes for this place. The service was bad and so was the food, not to mention it was way overpriced. We've never been to a restaurant that served us so many different sauces that were all terrible. The first clue that we should've just walked right out was the tortilla chips were stale and the salsa tasted like and had the texture of bland ketchup. The waitress barely came by to check on us after we ordered. I ordered the Peinecillo (New York) and my wife ordered the Chile Relleno. My steak came with a jalapeño, nopal, 3 different salsas, pinto beans and tortillas. My wife's Chile Relleno just came with rice and beans. I told the waitress I wanted my steak medium rare, but they brought it out medium well on a hot plate/stone which then overcooked it even more. It was definitely cooked to smithereens, looking almost white in the center. Absolutely horrible. The quality of the beef was very low quality, being no better than what you can get at a greasy spoon diner for half the price. None of the sauces/salsas tasted good on their own, nor did they add anything to the steak. The beans also had no flavor at all. My wife said her Chile Relleno was the worst she's ever had. The batter had no flavor and had hardly any cheese in it. The beans tasted like baby food and the rice was bland. The salsa they gave her (yet another one) also tasted like ketchup. If you decide to use your debit card, keep in mind they will add even more insult to injury by charging you $3.50 extra for the privilege. Nothing about our visit tonight: the food, the service, or price...was worth it. They don't do Mexican food nor steak good at all and there are way better places to eat. read more

Tuesday, 6 pm and the place was a ghost town! Come on people we need to support our local businesses. My wife and I were the only customers in there. From the time we were seated the customer service was excellent. The food was delicious and I thought reasonably priced. The steaks are pricey but a good steak at a steak house is typically $40-60 and these were in that range. The refried beans were the bomb!! I would go back just for them :-) read more

Carbon Mexican Steakhouse - See..... reasonable! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

We tried out this spot since I had seen some great reviews . We walked in and were greeted instantly and seated at a booth near the wall . The server gave us our menus in a flash ! I ordered the margarita on the rocks which was very yummy but tasted more syrup than I had hoped. We ordered jalapeños which were flavorful and well prepared We both had the wagu steak which was sizzling on the hot plate when we were served. Wish it had a little more seasoning , I asked for mine rare which it was ! And my husband has medium well which it was cooked to perfection. It comes with corn or flour tortillas and salsas, beans and green creme We did not order dessert since we had to catch a movie . We were given our check quickly and never had to wait once . It was a great time read more

This is my first time doing a review on here. I've been to the restaurant about 3 times. Last time was on Friday (7/12). The service wasn't great. It was better before. Our waiter didn't seem to understand English or even a little Spanish. They had a nice thing going on where it was like $2 each for a tiny taco. We got steak ones. They were good. I got the chile relleno. It comes with beans, lettuce, rice, and tortillas. I don't really understand having tortillas with it. My parent said no cheese for hers in both English and Spanish. There was a lot of cheese in what she had. They didn't do anything about it. My experience was pretty good, hers wasn't. Partially why I think it deserves around a 3. read more

I have been to the location in Port Orchard several times and have always been satisfied. I was interested to see they opened up a new location in Silverdale because it was usually close to empty whenever I visited the Port Orchard location. I just assumed they must have a busy time and I get lucky and miss it. Either way, I was at the mall this weekend for Mother's Day shopping spree and we stopped in. It was empty when we came in and sat down by the front window. I will start and refute some of these negative reviews first. I am going to say, this is NOT your typical Mexican food restaurant. It's a Mexican Steakhouse as it says in the name. It's not an Americanized place that serves the ubiquitous chips'n'salsa or the ground beef and bean burritos. Or chimichangas, or any of the other typical yucky gringo food. That being said, I get that some items on the menu aren't steaks. But, I will be 100% honest, if you want to be disappointed, order something other than one of the steaks. You'll probably not be impressed. Come here expecting to order a steak and then eat one of the most amazing steaks you've had. Is it Ruth's Chris? NO! It's a Mexican Steakhouse. If you want a birria taco, go to a birreria. I have had many of their margaritas and don't share the same syrupy experience other reviewers have mentioned. They're not great, for sure, and have had better so meter your expectations. And oh, yeah there are no IPAs here, again go to one of the Americanized places and order your IPA with your Chimichanga platter. I would never pair an IPA with a Mexican Steak anyway. Give me a Corona or Sol, something neutral to cool off the spice of the grilled jalapenos or the salsas. That all being said, I hope that this review helps people with their expectations and also makes them want to visit because I enjoy the place and would love to see both locations thrive. Every place will have issues with staff, we have had some strange interactions in Port Orchard, but our recent visit here in Silverdale was great. Our waiter was maybe even a bit too chatty. Everyone was attentive and checked on us regularly. The food here had all the familiar delicious flavors of the Port Orchard location. We ordered the Carbonada (yes I broke my own rule), but it was Mother's Day and my Wife LOVES sharing the Carbonada with me. Besides, it is a GREAT price for all the stuff you get to share with a date or loved one, you could do much worse, so I didn't argue. It was still quite good, nothing overcooked or chewy except the corn which was pitifully dry and gummy which is why I am giving 4 instead of 5 stars. C'mon Carbon, it's corn. Rest assured, if you visit this place on Father's Day this year (and every year) you might run into me, with my family. I will be devouring the Tomahawk Steak. I've had it twice so far and finished it both times. I find it satisfying to see the kitchen staff come out one by one and marvel at the fat guy who ate a whole Tomahawk. The steaks are pricey, yes. They are worth the price. I've tried the rib eye as well, which I devoured on a lunch break once. The beans are amazing, and all of their appetizers are pretty good. Again, heed my warning, be prepared to be perhaps underwhelmed if you order anything other than a steak. If you want a steak, you can't do better in Kitsap County. If you want Mexican food, eh just go somewhere else. read more

Unfortunately we never got a table. Service here is the absolute worst. We were looking for a table for 4, there were others also waiting for a table. Very unorganized and the waiting area is right outside the kitchen. We could tell that the food was coming up slow for anyone that had a table. After 15 minutes of being ignored another group walked in and was seated immediately, we all spoke up and the guy seating people told us that those people had called in for a table.... Meanwhile we were all told that there were no reservations. Not to eager to attempt to get a table in the future, we were treated like crap and never got to eat. Left after 25 min, not a soul in sight to see us abort the mission. read more

Had the bone marrow, there was barely any marrow. Probably two bites worth...highly disappointed for the price I paid for it. Tacos were ok. Seemed overprice. The consume was Luke warm. Tres leches cake was ok. I prob won't come back. I really wanted to like this place. Service was great. Maybe it was an off day. read more

Our first visit here, to the Silverdale location, on a Friday night, and not much of a crowd. I got the cielo, mar, y tierra molcajete. This was a bowl of marinated grilled beef, chicken, and shrimp surrounding a hot bowl of a red salsa with fresh onions and other veggies and an enormous jalapeño. Served with flour or corn tortillas, and three kinds of sauces. Very tasty. The shrimp are served shell and heads on, which I don't prefer, but the shells are edible and intensely flavored. A lot of food, and not very expensive ($ 30) - though you can definitely spend a lot of money here. The atmosphere seems kind of cold, but very basic. Service was quick and friendly. read more

We came in from the mall side and were greeted with very friendly and accommodating service from John. We had some of the best queso we've probably had, same with the tortillas--incredibly similar to what I remember having when I was in Mexico. The dishes themselves were creative and tasty. There were so many items on the menu that sounded like we'd like them, we'll definite be back. It's a shame there seemed to be no crowd, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

I hate to be the first bad review but it will hopefully help. The margarita's were beautiful but full of syrupy flavor and no tequila. We both ordered food that came with tortillas. But when we got the food we waited an additional 12min for the tortilla's my food came out a full 10 min before my bf's. My food was Luke warm and his was so over cooked and blazing hot. His shrimp was over cooked to the point that peeling it was painful and the shells wouldn't come off. I finally had to help him peel so he could eat them. I enjoyed the flavors in my chicken fajitas but the rice tasted like seafood. (This was before helping up peel the shrimp). To top it all off the water was horrible! Like actually tasted like seawater. It smelled bad too! Very disappointed. I'm glad we didn't buy steak here. The small amounts of steak in his food was way over cooked. read more

Great food, awesome service, super good wine menu too! I'll be coming back here many times

WOW. First time at a Carbon. Imagine a vegetarian absolutely loving a Mexican Steakhouse!! We had a fantastic experience at this place. The decor is very charming, lots of booths, cool looking high tops, relaxing, soothing colors within. I had the Chile relleno, which was fantastic. It came with a side of refried beans and rice as well as tortillas. My partner went for the BIG price with the Tomahawk Steak, which sizzled on the plate for a good 10 minutes. He cleaned the bone. Shout out to John and Devon. John was mentoring Devon, who is a relatively new server at the place. They were both so incredibly welcoming and nice!! This is a PLUS for Silverdale as it is unique in the sense of it being a "Mexican" restaurant. It goes beyond your typical choices. We look forward to trying their other locations! The margaritas, with an extra shot of the big T, were blended to perfection! read more

I am so impressed with this restaurant! Staff is amazing, food is amazing, drinks were amazing! I just found this place and have visited twice now! Both visits were wonderful and I have zero complaints to report! They know how to season their meats and they cook fabulous food! I think the menu was a little pricey but worth every cent! I was even impressed with the ladies bathroom, great soap, candle, lotion, pads, and tampons for anyone in need( the good kind not the cheap stuff). I will definitely be returning to eat here again! I have found my new favorite restaurant, and it only took 2 years living here, ! read more

Most excellent. Best Mexican food since I was last in Mexico! Original dishes and great family options.

Great service and food. Meals come out in a very timely manner. Clean and subtle styling throughout seating area

The food was gross, and the price was way too high for what we got. Waitstaff even agreed that the only thing they get on the menu is the baked potato dish because its the cheapest thing and is good. Waitstaff was extremely nice as well. Decor was okay. We were out on the patio and they don't bother cleaning those tables. read more

We are so happy to have a new Mexican restaurant in Silverdale! Carbon Steakhouse just opened in the Kitsap Mall a little over a week ago, but they also have a Port Orchard location. The food and drinks were amazing! The jalapeño cilantro margarita is one of the best margaritas that I have ever had! The food is perfectly spiced and unique in comparison to other Mexican restaurants in the area. The owner was our waiter and was very friendly. They are still working a few things out, so be patient. The food is worth it! read more

Fucking amazing! I was a little scared of the prices but let me tell you, as someone who grew up on this food, this place is worth every penny! It's not a taco shop, it's a sit down kind of restaurant. There aren't too many places here that give me that feeling like I'm back home. Huge thank you to the owner Alfonso for setting this place up in town. And thank you for stopping by to say hello and see how we were enjoying everything. Order everything. Bring your friends. You will not be disappointed. read more

My husband and I went for lunch to Carbon today. The courses on the menu are extremely expensive and don't represent Mexican food as we know it. No chance we will return. read more

Definitely not the hospitality I expect from a Mexican restaurant. Fresh warm tortillas are a staple. They should be offered at the table. Warm fresh tortillas say welcome to my home and this should be offered. I had the birria tacos. They were ok. The consume was a little lacking. They didn't have any of their IPA so I had to choose a Modelo. My daughter had the combo plate. The frijoles were nothing special. Rice was blah. Tamale was 90% masa, enchilada was mediocre. No sauces or chili oil at the table. Need to step it up at those prices. read more

It's not clean in here and most of the food is cold. The entire staff is sitting at a booth behind us just messing around/talking. Super weird. The bathroom is gross too. We didn't even take our food home. read more

don't know how long it will remain open never going back thanks and the waiter never came back only to drop off the bill and then went back and sat down with the other 3 and got on their phones read more

Tasty, interesting food. Definitely not your common Mexican fare. Everything had something unique about it, I was like my steak came with three different sauces. read more

Food was good- not the upscale restaurant that it claims to be. Located in the mall, there was no one to greet us and we were not sure if we were to sit ourselves or wait . Decor was mediocre and looked like a take-out place . Service was ok- she was the only one and not her fault. Manager standing around and not helping. Will not return and do not recommend read more

The service was great, with attention to our needs and professional. The food left something to be desired. The tortillas for the street tacos were bland and the carne asada was dry and fatty. The chicken was ok, and the side salsa and garnish were very fresh and did their best to save the meal. The carne asada was the same with the chalupa, dry, fatty, and bland. The blue Hawaiian drink was tasty and the beer was nice and cold. Price seemed a bit much for the quality of the food. I don't know if we will be back. read more

The food was wonderful in both taste and presentation! Beautiful ambiance and excellent drinks.

Food was gross and cold only thing good was their drinks. Super expensiveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The service was friendly and quick. Ordered a root beer, and it had floaties in it. Ordered the fish tacos made with tilapia, but the double wrapped shell and the tiny amount of fish made ao that all I tasted was tortilla. My wife ordered the fajitas, and they were cooked in some sort of tomato sauce that gave a strong tomato flavor to the meat. The fajita were also greasy. The fajitas tortillas didn't come out with the meal but were warmed up after the meal was delivered and were extremely hot and had to wait for them to cool down while the meal started getting cold read more

Ribs were good, beans were terrible, no flavor, nada. Guacamole. Was served in a very chipped up bowl, and not seasoned. The waitress made us move to the cold patio when se noticed we had our Chihuahua in a pet sling with us, which is legal in Washington, it ruined our whole meal. And the front doors were locked when we tried to use the restrooms, we had to flag down a customer to let us in. I won't be back. read more

Excellent food and service. The loud music is awful though - especially with the kitchen playing a different music station than the piped-in restaurant radio station. So our meal was distracted by hearing two different loud radio stations playing at the same time. If they would just play one radio station at a time, this place would be 5 star. read more

My husband and I visited the restaurant this past Wednesday late afternoon. We also had my sister in law with us. There ways one other couple when we came in the restaurant, waitress told us to pick any seat. When we walked over to sit in a booth by the window I noticed there were dirty shoe prints all over the seat so we were going to sit in the booth next to it when my sister in law noticed there were what she called sugar ants all under the table they were eating what looked like a piece of a orange. It was a definite turn off we left the restaurant and ate somewhere else. It was very disappointing! We like to support new restaurants but not this one. read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! there were SHRIMP TAILS with the shells in the steak fajitas!! If you have a shellfish allergy you might not make it out alive, all of our food came out cold asf, the meat was all gristle!
