Carrillo was a Californio, one of the first children born at the Presidio of Santa Barbara (established 1782). His father, José Raimundo Carrillo, was a soldier who came north with the Portolá expedition in 1769 and served at the Presidio of Santa Barbara for twelve years.

Mexican Congress rejected his request to change Alta California.^[2] Carlos was appointed to replace Juan Bautista Alvarado as Governor, but Alvarado was able to reclaim the Governorship a year later.
