    Enchiladas and Frittata -- Yum!

    We got the chicken enchiladas and egg white frittata -- on multiple visits, it's that good! Coffee and bread so good too. The service on each visit was friendly and welcoming. Thank you for great food and service!

    Chairs up and Cleaning with guests sitting at that orange all.
    Greta M.

    As stated previously. They are consumed by doing tasks that allow them to leave. The chairs up on tables around guests who are still dining. Open now until 11:30. Chairs up at 11:06, broom and dustpans strewn across the room. The cleaning and money counting. The huevos ranchero isn't a traditional variety with a smooth red sauce. It's a plate of eggs and acidy pico. You can hear them making random commentary to each other about guests. "Did you see the face?" "see what did I tell ya" I've wanted to like this place and I have tried. It's tedious and unwelcoming. It's inhospitable. Trust and believe me, Strawberry Fair next door will welcome you warmly. Go there, they are still open past noon too.

    Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo.
    Mark T.

    This place came highly recommended by a coworker, and I never say no to Mexican. I was especially curious about their breakfast options. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with the Chorizo add-on. The dish included refried beans, a little pico, some hash browns, tortillas, egg(s), and the chorizo add-on. This might seem like a cacophony of food, but everything came together quite nicely, was we'll balanced, and added a welcome variety. The execution was spot on and the quality was good. The hash browns were cooked perfectly, the refried beans we actually quite tasty (first time I enjoyed these). Embarrassingly I couldn't tell you if the tortillas were just warmed or made fresh, but no complaints there. Egg... the runny egg combined with the tortillas wonderfully, only I could not tell if there was one or two. Chorizo was a nice touch, but I'm a little disappointed it was only two tablespoons worth of diced chorizo. I would have preferred a whole link, or at least a more substantial portion. I also would have liked a little more Pico, as it was the only fresh element on the plate. It seemed a little more like a garnish rather than part of the dish. Likewise a little extra cheese would be nice. The service was great! Very nice and the food came out fast and fresh! Coffee was solid too, not the strongest stuff I've ever had, but they use Red Eye Roasters, which is great stuff. Now, I don't believe in huge portions for the sake of having huge portions. Still, I'm a stickler for value, and the price seemed a little high for what I got. So, solid food by itself is 4 stars, but combined with a slightly less-than-stellar value we arrive at an A-OK rating. I am curious to try their non-breakfast options, so I'll be sure to return and give them a go.

    This was our first visit after looking for a place for breakfast. Pam, our server, greeted us with joyful enthusiasm and our food was well prepared and tasty. Clean plates were proof of how much we enjoyed breakfast. We finished off the meal with a waffle which was deliciously fluffy and light. We'll be back to try the rest of the menu items!

    Little Carmen's has served me almost as many breakfasts as I've served myself. They've become an extension to my dining room table. Of course, not now. We're homebound, and LC's has wiggled to and fro re: the viability of curbside biz. Well, they're in the full menu takeout zone daily from 7a-1p, and my family is ecstatic: my wife's fave Caramel Banana French Toast transports well, the kids love their eggs and mini corn muffins, and I have had the bursting breakfast burrito, the chilaquiles and the Pablos benedicts (shredded beef, goat cheese and cayenne hollandaise) and they all rule. Devastated I don't get the best part of the experience - chatting with the staff while crushing Redeye Roasters coffee - but so go the times. At least the amazing food is making me feel like I'm still at our usual booth.

    Breakfast enchilada, rice, beans, and corn muffin.

Bartender was…read morefantastic, drinks fantastic, and pork belly tacos, as advertised were the best item on the menu. Since then we'd been a few times. Last night, 3 stars might be even too much. When we were waiting for our table at the hostess stand, we and another party saw a mouse. My husband stated he thought it ran over his foot. I asked if we should go... but as we are veterans of living in the city and mice being pretty normal, we decided to stay. Maybe we should have gone to have a better night. Service at the start was fine, but then drinks did not come until after the first round of food. In addition, as I've seen from a few reviews here, we received an additional tray of tacos that was not ours, which a runner then took away and looked to serve to the correct table. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I know you never take a plate of food from one table and move it to another. Everything came out within 7 to 10 minutes, which was great, but a few of the tacos seemed like they had been sitting and were soggy which I took to mean they were sitting prepped in the kitchen and just popped on the table. Who knows. Because then when we ordered a few more tacos, we waited about 20 minutes before starting to look around and our server not once making eye contact. 10 minutes later, my husband and daughter left to go to the bookstore while I waited for the check and as soon as they had left, the tacos came out, in a to go box. The server did not offer to do anything in regards to the long wait time, which even if I wouldn't have taken, should have been addressed. We won't be coming back for a long time... It seems they've lost their way. If you do go...the pork belly taco and the crispy oyster taco were both delicious (even if soggy).
