First and foremost, the #6 Carne Asada Chiliquilles are really, really good! Each item on the plate tasted good, but together, fantastic! Service was wonderful. My coffee was never empty, refilled many times. Smallish interior, but was clean and comfortable. If I'm ever back in this area, I will definitely stop again! read more

Will not be returning to Carmen's . I went with my father recently. My father went up to pay the bill and he handed the man a 100 dollar bill. The man at the check out took the bill and told my father that we still owed 12 dollars . My father told him that he'd given him a 100 bill and the man said no , that my father had given him a 20 bill. So then my father told him that he was not a fool and that he gave him a 100 bill and told the man checking us out where he had placed the bill. The checkout man said oh sorry . My father told him he was a thief and that we would not be going back. read more

Came here with my coworker for lunch and we were seated immediately. The customer service was amazing and our waitress was very attentive. I ordered the lunch beef taco and it comes with rice and beans. I added a shredded chicken taco and side of pico. The tacos came out fast and were delicious! I also ordered a small guacamole for the table and you could taste the freshness of it. This was a very enjoyable meal and I will be sure to come back to try other items on their menu. read more

Have not had the opportunity to eat there lately. However, my office was nearby in West Dallas and when I worked from there I would eat at Carmen's at least one lunch a week if not two. Great food! Looked forward to seeing Rose, daughters, and staff on my lunches there, truly great folks. I'm sure it's still the same. read more

Carmen's Mexican Cafe - a table full of food - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time trying this place & was very impressed not only with how attentive the waiter Manuel & the waitress attended us but also every other waitress that would pass by our table. Service is a A+, and the Food is Also a A+. You can't hardly ever find a place that has homemade flour tortillas anymore so it makes the food that much more tasty when you have them to compliment good tasting food. I had the pleasure of meeting Carmen she is such a Sweet Lady as well as all her Awesome staff! I will be recommending family & friends here. the only down side to this lil jewel of a restaurant is, that they close at 2 or 2:30pm everyday! Bummer! See ya soon!! GAVE ONLY 4 STARS ONLY BECAUSE THEY CLOSE TO EARLY! read more

Stopped in for some breakfast and was not disappointed. Had chilaquiles verdes and a chorizo and egg taco. Wife had scrambled eggs with hashbrowns. We both liked our meal. Tortillas were amazing. Can't wait to go back and try the menudo. I also ordered the horchata and it was better than most. I would recommend this place. On the way out I impulse bought the individually packaged wedding cookies and they were also very good. read more

I had eaten at this restaurant six years ago and it was amazing. Took two coworkers today since we were in the area and I'm sad to say it was not the same place. It took forever to get our food, we actually had to ask for it. When we finally did, you could tell it had been sitting under the heat lamp for some time. Not only was the food like warm the service took so long that we were late getting back to our meeting. read more

I don't see how this place has 3 1/2 stars. Carmen's is always good and it reminds me of my home. This is as authentic Mexican breakfast I've tried around here in Dallas. The tortillas taste just like my grandma makes from hand. I recommend always getting a breakfast taco or two along side your meal. I always get the chilaquiles rojo or verde and it's always good. The staff be busting they butts and hustling. The managers as well as the waitresses make rounds pretty often to check on things. Very friendly staff always read more

I have been going to Carmens for lunch since 2015. Service: 5 Stars Food: 5 Stars Ambience: 5 stars Drinks: Ugggh couldn't have any as I was working but I can assure you it will warrant a 5 star as well. Give them a try. Your wallet and tummy will thank me later. I would eat there for breakfast and lunch every week if I could. :) read more

Great Mexican lunch place West Dallas When I visit a client in the area this is my choice for lunch. Although they have a lot of good lunch specials, I opt for the the TRES AMIGOS...way too much for lunch...but I keep getting it again and again....and share some. Chips and Salsa are good and the service is always nice and fun. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. I'm from San Antonio and there is nothing better than breakfast tacos in the morning. This place gives me a taste of home and is the only place I will go for quality food that feels like a memory. Service is great and friendly and it such a hidden gem! Everyone should come here read more

Waitress didn't check ONCE , didn't give us silverware, no napkins, no salsa, anything , over priced plates for 3 small pieces of beef. Not worth the money. It used to be different i don't know what happened. used to like it, not returning again. read more

Best customer service I've had in a very long time! Everyone was so friendly and attentive! Their salsa is delish.

Hole in the wall but pretty amazing food. Ask for chips and salsa. Huevos rancheros are decent.

If your looking for a new Mexican hole in the wall then this is the place. There are tons of regulars that come to this place for lunch, and if you don't know someone here you might feel left out, but the owner is usually there and she makes you feel like home. But this place is totally on the way to no where land, so you have to be coming here for the sole reason of eating the food. I would have to say that my dish today, carne asada ranchera was pretty good. I am lowering my score from 3.5 to 3 because the tortillas are not home made. I feel like the tortilla is the attention to detail that I require from an excellent mexican restaurant. Even though my review today was a 3, I would give the Tuesday special a 4. read more

By far the best Mexican food I've eaten in a long time (asides from mom or Mrs). Being on patrol in Dallas we get to eat everywhere but this is on the top 5. Homemade flour tortillas, beef fajita enchiladas, sweet tea, old school Tejano music and most of all the hospitality. Very attentive never left thirsty and didn't leave hungry. read more

This is the first time in a long time that i was able to receive great service and eat a meal that was prepared with love. I'm a truck driver and I'm a big boy( the call me Tank) lol and at first I felt out of place. But before I left I was hugged and told Merry Christmas. And it was Genuine. What I'm saying about this particular eating setting, is that this is a place of love, family, great food and good conversation. I love it and this is now my breakfast spot. Thank you . read more

I have nothing but good things to say about this place!! The proof is looking at how packed the parking lot is & with that being said the wait isn't long. The staff have it very organized to accommodate you quickly. They have a wide variety of food to choose from and the food is excellent!! If your in the neighborhood you should definitely give it a try. And my favorite part is the flour tortillas are homemade!!! Yummy!!! read more

Carmen's Mexican Cafe - Fajitas, eggs, beans & potatoes were delicious!! The flour tortillas are hand made to perfection. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Before I moved to Dallas this year in January, almost every trip that I made to Dallas before on business required a visit to Carmen's Mexican Restaurant. The thing about Carmen's Restaurant is that it is only open for Breakfast and Lunch on Weekdays and Weekends. They are closed for Dinner. The part of the town where Carmen's Restaurant is located is 100% sketchy purely because it is surrounded by a neighborhood that looks like the 3rd Ward from Houston and industrial buildings and warehouses are hugging it left, right, front, front, and back. When you drive to Carmen's, don't let the outside scare you away. Just park your Car and be brave enough to go inside. The rest will be history :) Aunt Carmen runs this place with her 3 daughters who are there everyday to help. They are really really nice. One of the waitresses even knows how to wear an Indian Sari and was telling me all about it on my last trip there on Thursday afternnon for lunch this past week, which I thought was pretty cool. I thought that was quite impressive. The place is always packed during lunch time. And the food is probably THE Best Mexican Food in town. Its well known for their Steak Ranchero dish and I love their 3 Amigo's Fajita Lunch Special. Go and give it a shot. You will not be disappointed at all. I promise! read more

If you want good Mexican brunch this is the place to be!! My boyfriend & I come here often, not only is the food good but the workers there are super nice & very welcoming, they speak Spanish & English, the decor of the place is so cute & cultural & the best part, the food comes in fast. You don't ever have to wait in line it may look small but surprisingly they have several seats available when you walk in, they put you first & they deserve the best rating ! read more

Carmen's Mexican Cafe - Breakfast Combo #5 Carne Asada in Skillet - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Just a terrible place overall, not what it once was. The waitress doesn't check on you. The response time is ridiculous. The quality of food isn't there. They gave me used creamers with my coffee and there was salt or sugar all over the table so they definitely don't clean the tables correctly. I literally wasted my time, money and appetite on this place and I hope you don't do the same. read more

Carmen's Mexican Cafe - perfect family run taqueria - Tex-Mex Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This food is okay and pretty cheap. I really like the breakfast burritos. Complaints: -The restaurant sits people based on skin color. This happens every time I go. I think its funny. Sometimes I feel like bringing my black and white friends just to confuse them. -The restaurant makes up its own hours. I tried to call in some food to pick up for my parents who cannot travel outside of their house. I talked to a man who said he could take my order. I really wanted menudo because it was cold outside. Then the voice switched to some chola who said the kitchen was closed. Okay. Anyways, it was really ridiculous and unprofessional. I'll get food elsewhere, probably Pepe's or Taco Bell. Those places don't have weird hours. read more

Shitty service, the waitresses can be rude. The menus aren't specific. The space is the worst. So small and squished. And its loud.

We had a great experience at Carmens! It was busy but our waiter was attentive. Everything was good the Menudo was amazing! And the coffee is perfect! You're definitely missing now if you haven't been yet! read more

Service and food horrible. The owner rude he asked me if I liked my food o said no. He asked why I said cause my eggs are burnt. He said next time ask your server for softener eggs like really Sho the hell burns eggs. And my husband plate precooked sausage and bacon. read more

This is my favorite restaurant . Everything I have orders is delicious. Fajitas on Thursday, molcajete on Mondays , simply the best. This time I had a Chile relleno with fajita, amazing. The portions are always satisfying. You need to go before 2 because they close early. read more

First time here and got to go, but were is the rest of the food? 26$ for all this and I get 1 taco out of the meat, oh maybe 2. Will not come here again and taking this back. read more

I really thought it was going to be good. There was a nice lunch crown and kind of a hole in the wall feel to it. I was really expecting some authentic Mexican food. The hot sauce was like tomato paste, the chicken fajitas were basically cubed chicken with no flavor, and the rice and beans were really gross. It's getting two stars just because everyone was SO nice. If you want amazing service and gross food- this is the place for you. read more
