We got to meet the Famous Incredible Carmen who worked many many years and hours at this spectacular cafe. She specializes in the best rellleno in town. Also the best salsa with only fresh ingredients.

My family has been coming here every Sunday since I was a baby. Now 27 years later tje tradition continues on with both my daughters coming along and they love it as much as I do. The food is great and the staff is amazing. They are so welcoming and cater to you right away. They offer the best chips & salsa in town as well as the best rice and beans. I highly recommend coming here.

Our family has been coming here for 4 generations, The staff are always friendly and hospitable. The food is excellent & the recipes top secret.. The chicken mole is great, but those Chile Rellenos are sabrosos! Try the combo plate #1..

As sad as we are that we can’t just drop in and visit with the wonderful family and staff, some growing up before our eyes, AND enjoy our favorite dishes ( best chili rellanos ever, B loves the pork chops, kids say best enchiladas in the USA… and more) we are happy Carmen can relax and enjoy life! Warning, am looking for a reason to have a party for you to cater!

Great homemade selections, the Chile rellenos are famous in these parts. Also, that server Lupe is the reason this place stands apart from all the other Mexican food establishments in town. She’s also kind of cute too.
