What Stephanie Tjebben likes about Carmen's Mexican Food:
After being out of state for several months, I craved some good old SoCal-style food now that I'm back home. My meal here was exactly what I had been missing. The atmosphere was charming and comfortable, largely thanks to the attentive staff. The red salsa was a unique recipe I hadn't tried before, featuring fresh chopped jalapeños. I will definitely be returning! View all feedback. What Maria Vizcaino doesn't like about Carmen's Mexican Food:

Our waitress, Shannah, was fantastic! This visit was wonderful! To top it all off, we enjoyed an ice cream cookie for dessert.
