Carmen A Tapas Grill Bar

Great find in Woodland Park! Service was excellent across the entire staff, and the food was delicious! Although not on the menu, we asked for sangria, and it was tasty! You must stop by!

We sat outside when we came! I was expecting a bit of a different menu for a tapas bar. They have some pricier fuller sized plates so I just shared with a friend. It was a good food but like I said I just expected something different for tapas. I was expecting to get a few small plates to share at an affordable price but that's not the case here!

Wonderful experience! The Avocado ahi appetizer was delicious and the house made fish and chips had very light and crispy batter.

On a Wednesday night around 6:45, we stood in front of the host for twelve minutes while two different parties came and went. There were only about four tables occupied, both inside and outside. No one acknowledged our presence or even made eye contact. Eventually, they seated us, but then we faced another long wait for our drinks. It felt like an eternity, although there were only two servers—I’m not sure. Out of the three items we ordered, two were unavailable. After we ordered, our food arrived quickly. My family reported that the salmon patties and Alfredo pasta were quite good. The bison burger I had was perfectly cooked but lacked flavor. Unfortunately, while the ambiance was nice, the overall experience left me feeling disappointed.

We had an excellent experience here. We chose this place mainly for its dog-friendly patio, but the food exceeded our expectations. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the service was quick and welcoming. We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu!
