We were just passing through North Carolina and happened to find this place, and what a great find it was. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with big smiles and welcoming service.
The food was outstanding. We ordered the chicken empanadas, Sopa de Pollo, and Bistec de Pollo—everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. And the bread… absolutely fantastic.
A solid 10 out of 10. We highly recommend stopping here if you’re in the area.
Comfortable venue with plenty of space. Casual or nicely dressed would be appropriate. Polite and fast service. Music nice and volume was just right. Good for kids too.

My wife and I had an excellent dinner at Carmen’s Cuban! Her vaca frita was perfectly crispy yet tender, and my ropa vieja featured incredibly flavorful shredded beef with amazing spices. Both dishes were generous portions at great prices. If you’re looking for authentic Cuban food that won’t break the bank, Carmen’s is the place!
The service is top-notch, with attentive servers eager to answer any questions. Even the manager took the time to check on us at the table, ensuring we were satisfied with our meal and overall experience.
**Highly recommended dishes:**
1. **Pollo a la Milanesa** – Crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
2. **Masitas de Puerco with Congrí (Moro) and sweet plantains** – A classic Cuban dish that’s rich in flavor.
3. **Churrasco** – Grilled to perfection and absolutely delicious.
4. **Café Cortadito** – Ideal for those who appreciate a strong, authentic coffee after a satisfying meal.
If you’re flying out of or returning to RDU and craving delicious Caribbean food, this is *the* spot to visit. Expect great hospitality, flavorful dishes, and an overall excellent dining experience!
I ordered the empanadas as an appetizer (one beef and one chicken) and they were delicious. I do wish they came with some kind of sauce but I’m glad they had plenty of meat inside them. This place is a great value as the entrees were plentiful. I had the lechón asado w/yellow rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. The plantains were cooked perfectly and tasted well but I wish the pork, rice, and beans had more flavor. My mom thought her rice was a bit dry. Once I added hot sauce to the pork and salt & pepper to the sides I was good to go and the leftovers reheated well.
