Just moved into the area. Thought I’d give it a try. Chicken burrito of the driest meat over ever tasted. No green salsa.

The carne asada burrito was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and just the right size. The service was a 10 out of 10. It wasn’t just quick and attentive, it turned into a heartfelt conversation that made me feel genuinely welcome. I 100% recommend this place, not only for the amazing food but also for the authentic and friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back.

We were looking for an inexpensive casual place to eat near our hotel. We saw this place online and thought it was worth a try. We couldn’t have chosen better! We had our daughter and her 2 little kids with us. The place isn’t fancy at all, but it was clean. We ordered chicken fajitas with no cheese or sour cream for my daughter, due to her dairy allergy, chicken nachos for her kids to share, my husband ordered a Pollo asada chimichanga and I ordered a carne asada tostada. We were all very happy with our food. There were quite a few return customers coming and going with take out, as well as some eating there like we did. It is a hole-in-the-wall kind of place, no frills, but the food is great for a good price, from $10-$12 each, and that’s all we cared about!

I was excited to try out this little hole in the wall based on the reviews. Was not impressed. Server did not know difference between huevos rancheros and huevos Al Mexicano. Was curt and not that helpful in describing the options- maybe bc locals and regulars come by that she felt that we should know what the options entailed. There was no descriptive menu so all we had was the names of things. Ordered guacamole enchiladas, which were in the saltier side, and nachos asados. Food was ok- but we wouldn’t drive to come here nor really come by if we were close.

Seriously the best Mexican food in SD. This place is family run and my go-to for Mexican food. Portions are super generous and the food is always fresh and you can tell its home made. Absolutely love this spot!

Worst tasting food in the world . The way they cook it is just like the Indian street food on instagram. They took 2 hours to seat me and when I finally sat down they said “Are you sure you can handle the spice white boy.” I felt the racism from the waiters the whole time I was there. This place is not the spot if your white

For the price, this is the best food you can get. Yes, the guy taking the order is a little awkward. He’s nice when you get to know him. This is a hole in the wall shop with good food and nice guys who run it.
Note: alot of the stuff has animal lard or fried in with meats. Ask them and they’ll tell you.

I used to frequent Carmen’s at their original location. The food was always wonderful and fresh. The family that owns it is the best and still are
Ive been to their current location in the past but it has been a few years.
Today I came in to eat here again, after I’d guess close to 10 years since the last time.
The food was exactly as I remember it. Delicious and fresh and hot.
The best chicken burrito I’ve ever had is from Carmen’s!!
Still the same folks here that I remember from all those years ago.
Very happy I came back today. It’s nice to see a place that still cares about quality and making people happy.

Their hot sauce alone can turn a frozen burrito into something special. Don’t miss it.

Got a carne Asada burrito with no onions just guacamole and cheese which was good. The only thing was I didn’t have that much guacamole. So practically just all meat and cheese. However, the carne Asada meat was delicious.
