Second visit. Line out the door on a Sunday morning, but it went by quick. Food was excellent, smaller portions, but didn't bother us as it was just enough. Staff was super friendly, very accommodating and efficient. I like that there's ethnic options as well as more traditional Items to choose from for breakfast. read more

Always good food and great service!!! Have never been disappointed with either. I highly recommend.

Nice little hone town place. Decent food with good service. Food above average. Gets busy on weekends mornings.

I came in while they were still open and I was told they were closed. I pointed out the time but I was still told they were closed. Mind you, I was with two women in their 80's. Easily the rudest experience I have ever had in a restaurant, especially considering I was a regular who often talked them up. They've jumped the shark. read more

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! read more

Little Carmen's - Enchiladas and Frittata -- Yum! - Mexican Near Me - Norwell, Massachusetts

Perfect place for breakfast. Fast and friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend.

This is my new place that I've been talking up after my last visit. Pam was my server and was very nice and attentive . She recommended a dish that was eggs , pork, beans , salsa , and lettuce with tortilla chips that was phenomenal . I topped it off with a churro waffle that made my tough day much easier . So happy I stopped by and will do so again!! read more

This place closes early,,,, Change your hours so you dont have to let customers down!

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. read more

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. read more

Fabulous breakfast. Mexican Great waitstaff! Fun menu Small but mighty. Nice ambiance read more

A couple of things about Little Carmens, They reconfigured the dining area to accommodate more seating so less waiting. Aside from the incredible menu, I love that Little Carmen's is about the only restaurant I will order eggs. I like them soft and a little under cooked. I get them there perfectly prepared. Today I discovered the Taco Omlet. To die for. Other than that not much has changed. Great servers, Surpurb food. Great coffee. As always. Oh, come fall Little Carnmen's will start serving lunch on weekdays. The best just keeps getting better. How does that happen? read more

What a fabulous find! Delicious food Fantastic staff- so attentive so profesional Clean Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Very good! Huevos Rancheros was awesome. Service was fantastic and had a great ambiance, lovely little spot.

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! read more

Really worth the great reviews Fresh ingredients Very tasty breakfast Look forward to returning read more

Walked in at 11:15 am on a weekend day, sign says closing at 11:30 am. We frequent Little Carmen's often and have always enjoyed the food. That day we were turned away after hearing the staff talking in the back about serving us and then were told "sorry guys, we are closing " I felt the behavior to be unprofessional. The staff seem uninterested in doing their best to accommodate paying customers and we won't be returning to little Carmen's again. Disappointing, because I really loved their mini corn muffins and avocado toast. read more

Excellent food amazing service great atmosphere!!!!! Tammy was an excellent server. Polite and patient

On our way to the beach from the city and needed a quick breakfast. Stopped here and got takeout and let me tell you that it was worth the stop. Everything was tasty and full of flavor, from the rice to the beans to the enchilada. But the thing that really sealed it for me was the crispy hash browns. Tough even in the best of circumstances and to have them be that delicious with takeout is a feat. Please stop here, you won't regret it. read more

AMAZING food and 5-Star Service! I placed a (large) order for my sisters bridal shower (all the ingredients for a taco bar for 50+ people). I TOTALLY screwed up the time I told the staff at Little Carmens and they could not have been more kind, understanding, and accommodating. I requested the food for 12:00 but needed it by 10:00. On a super busy Sunday morning - because everyone loves them - they told me not to worry and got my large order ready in about 20 minutes, with a smile on their face. Not for a second did they make be feel like a burden or inconvenience and made what could have been a nightmare into no-big deal. I truly cannot compliment the staff enough. On top of that - the food was INCREDIBLE. Everyone was asking where we got it from. So, go there for a great meal AND all your party needs. They simply are the best! read more

Love my southwest Mexican breakfast... always busy , great service... Celiac friendly..go as soon as you can!

The service was only topped by the food! Breakfast bowl, delish! Food is fresh and made on site. Pam is awesome!

SO GOOD!! We got the chicken enchiladas and chips with guac/queso/pico de gallo. This was our first time ordering and we got it to-go and I cannot wait to sample the rest of the menu. My two year old son loved the enchiladas and guac. I've tried pretty much every Mexican restaurant on the south shore and Carmens is authentic and delicious!! Definitely ordering again. read more

Everything is excellent including the coffee bacon a little overdone, but still good will come back

My husband and I really enjoyed meals here in the past, so while in the area, we went for lunch. There has been some changes, I see. We split a bowl of red chilli and I am glad we did. That was the only thing with flavor. The combo meals come with a cornbread muffin. One was overdone, the other was cakey, but crumbled apart when I picked it up, which makes me question when it was made. No taste of butter at all in the ingredients. The black beans strike me as out of the can because of the appearance of the beans and runny juice. When made fresh, the juice is thicker and some of the beans have split skin. When canned, they are cooked in the can with an acid as a preservative and there is a difference in texture. Which is why I like to go to places that actually soak and cook beans. The rice was okay, but could use a little seasoning and I don't mean salt. The pico de gallo was uneventful and I asked for extra cilantro. Sadly, it was unchopped and unwashed. It was very sandy. I got two tacos with crispy shells. One was fish, the other shrimp. Both fish and shrimp were overdone and dry. Shells were stale. I mean, how hard is to refresh them in the oven very briefly if you aren't going to fry them yourself? $45 bill, not worth it. I get it. The only competition is Taco Bell across the street and Plaza Azteca down the street. Both bleak options. And there isn't a lot of Mexican food on the south shore. So who's going to know the difference? read more

Always a great breakfast! Fantastic menu. Lots of choices. Fresh ingredients. Amazing servers and staff.

First time at this charming lil place. Huevos Rancheros with I think the best home made Ranchero sauce ever. Shredded crispy home fries a fabulous surprise addition. Have an affinity for Mexican and lived near Mission in SFO. Last time I had great Huevos Rancheros. This was the bomb. Thank you little Carmens. read more

Delicious!!! Best way to begin a Sunday! Pam gave the best service! We'll be back for breakfast and lunch!

Don't go close to closing time! This place closes at 11:30 AM and apparently the chef will not be delayed in leaving. We were urged by our server at 11:15 to order ASAP as the kitchen was soon closing. We ordered 2 breakfast plates that arrived in less than 2 minutes and included a runny egg that was ordered over easy, presumably cooked in a big hurry. When we tried (before 11:30) to get a properly cooked egg we were told the chef shut the grill off! So my wife didn't have her egg, apparently due to some tyrannical chef. Otherwise, the service was good and my Mexican breakfast dish was tasty. read more

Ok let me tell ya. The food here is orgasmic. So much flava in my mouth. I had a papas con huevos with some orange juice. The oj is creamy goodness. The service here was exquisite. Kind, quick, and efficient. Little Carmen's is cute, cozy and a great place to grab breakfast with the family. This is Gian from California, signing out. read more

Little Carmen's is the best!!! The avocado toast is so good. Never tasted anything like the banana fosters French toast- it is heaven. The wait staff is amazing and the food comes up super fast! Can't say enough about their breakfast. Looking for a reason to try catering! read more

Visited for breakfast today, the food was enough to be a meal and was acceptable. The avocado toast was ridiculously overpriced (it was on a GF piece of toast) as it had less then a 1/2 avocado for close to $10. I have no recollection of what my wife got. I got the chorizo breakfast. 1st, don't get the cornbread muffin. It is tiny. It is 1 bite (2 bites if you are rationing) There is chorizo , but not enough to get a real flavor. You cannot just take a piece of chorizo. they are chopped very small. The coffee was weak. Use the correct amount of coffee to water ratio. You charge $3 for a 8 ounce cup. No excuse. None. Would I go back? I don't have enough data about the area and what the landscape is for breakfast. The staff on the other hand were SUPER nice. Which is a HUGE magnet to try again. read more
