Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Solid vibes, just don’t overthink it.

Carmen is like that friend who always manages to look good without trying too hard. The Spanish flavors are on point, with dishes like the paella that have people raving. Marcella and Seba are the dynamic duo serving up warm vibes alongside your meal, but some diners might find the prices a tad steep for what they get.

It’s a cozy spot for a celebration, and the sangria gets a solid nod as a must-try. Despite the nice atmosphere, a few dishes like the Patatas Bravas might leave you scratching your head, wondering if they missed the memo on authentic flavor. So, if you’re in the area, expect a decent meal but don’t go crazy with expectations. The sweet almond cake, though, is the true star of the show.
