" I discovered Carmen's a few months ago, and I've been hooked ever since! The desebrada tacos are absolutely incredible, bursting with flavor and authentic spices. The tortillas are handmade, which definitely adds to the experience. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially on busy nights, but the food is worth it. The ambiance feels cozy, almost like dining in someone's home, and the staff is friendly, albeit a bit overwhelmed when the place gets crowded. I love supporting this family-owned spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" A true gem in this area for Mexican food. I had the gorditas, and they were superb! Each bite was like a taste of home; the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were spot on! Only downside is, service was a bit rushed since the place was filled. Despite that, I have no complaints about the food. Just make sure to show up a little earlier to miss the busy times. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is the definition of authentic Mexican food! I had their flautas, and I must say they were cooked to perfection. The flavors of the salsas were so fresh. Our server was friendly but also seemed overwhelmed. It took longer than expected to get our food, but I was so engrossed in conversation with friends that it didn't bother me too much. Just be prepared, if you're hungry, maybe order an appetizer while you wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmen's is one of those places where you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. I love the homey ambiance. The food is consistently good, especially the desebrada gorditas. The wait was longer than I would have liked, but there’s a certain satisfaction in knowing everything is made fresh. Overall great if you're looking for a taste of Mexico! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my experience at Carmen's. The ambiance is charming, and the food is fabulous. The enchiladas are on my favorites list now. My friend recommended this restaurant for its authenticity, and she was right! Service was a bit slow, but we were more interested in indulging in our food. Definitely a spot to remember!

" Had a simple but great experience! I was in the mood for tacos and this place hit the spot. The flavors were authentic, and the staff was friendly. It’s not fancy, but the homey vibe made it comfy. The only drawback would probably be how busy they get during the evenings, leading to longer waiting times, so coming early might be the best choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I had a good meal here, my experience was marred by long wait times and inattentive service. The gorditas were good—especially the chicharron—but our server seemed overwhelmed, leading to many delays in our orders. The restaurant had a comfortable vibe, and it felt like a community gathering spot. I might give it another shot, but only if I have plenty of time to spare. " (*Curated Review*)
