Two great meals at Tia Carmen’s during our stay: dinner and then breakfast. Two kids with it who loved their meals. Staff was terrific with both kids and made us feel comfortable. Food was outstanding both meals. Space is very stylish and not too loud. They spaced the tables well. Really enjoyed it.

My family had New Year Eve dinner here, we were expecting a good dinner and good time here, but the food was terrible! Fish over burned, lobster pasta was cold, wagyu filet smells. Desserts all cheap stuff. Totally Ruined our New Year Eve. If you are looking for a place to celebrate or want to enjoy a nice evening, don’t come here!

We truly had the most amazing meal in service. Every single course was top notch. The overall atmosphere and decor is stunning inside and out. We tried something from each section of the menu and already cannot wait to come back and try more. Do not skip out on the romaine salad and the flan dessert, still dreaming about it. So good! Todd and Yolanda took the most amazing care of us and helped us with our ordering suggestions.

The food was excellent. All very creative and prepared with such talent. The food was not only very delicious but the presentation was artistic. The desserts were some of the best I’ve had in a long time.
My only criticisms would be the dinning room was so cold. I will defiantly bring a jacket next time. I would also not let them set me at one of there tiny tables again. We had multiple courses and shared courses that just didn’t fit let alone having to put my hand bag on the floor which I really don’t like to do.

Special gratitude going out to our server Yolanda who made the experience a beautifully orchestrated transition from beginning to end. The food was truely something special, the curated menu was what I would consider THE BEST I have experienced in the Coachella valley yet.. The delightful drinks , and moody atmosphere lend themselves well but Chef Angelo Sosa has brought a new level of excellence to the culinary competition in our area.. and I love him for it.

The atmosphere at this restaurant is absolutely captivating—intimate, relaxed, and effortlessly classy with subtle international touches that set it apart. The ambiance feels carefully curated to create a unique dining experience.
The food was flavorful and artfully prepared, with certain dishes standing out as absolute must-haves, while a few left room for improvement. Each dish was well thought out, with incredible pairings that elevated the flavors.
However, the true highlight of the evening was the service, and Yolanda was the star of the show. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and passion for creating a memorable experience were truly remarkable. She gave us 5-star, Michelin-level service, taking the time to explain the history, the menu, and the drinks with genuine enthusiasm. Her commitment to presentation and ensuring the experience was top-notch extended from the moment we arrived to when the food was served.
Finding this level of service in the Coachella Valley is rare, and Yolanda’s exceptional care made our evening unforgettable. We will definitely be returning—and we’ll be sure to request Yolanda again!

Tía Carmen completely blew us away. The food is Michelin-level creative, yet the prices are shockingly reasonable for the quality and experience. Every flavor came together beautifully. Our server, Yolanda, was warm, attentive, and spot-on with her recommendations. We loved everything about this restaurant, truly a standout dining experience.

Kevin was our waiter. He was so nice and attentive. His suggestions for our dishes was spot-on! Everything was delicious! The Pan Frito, the corn dish, the vanilla flan was soooo good! Wish we lived here so we could come back here all the time. Delicious food in a great ambience with superior service!

Everything we ordered here was incredible. This is a celebrity chef restaurant where each dish tells a story – something I was skeptical about at first, but it totally works. We tried the pan fritos, fluke + banana, purple yam, octopus, lamb barbacoa, uni stew, yucca brûlée, and native rice, and I don’t regret a single item. The octopus was the standout for me – probably the best I’ve had, perfectly tender and not the least bit chewy. The Black Forest cake dessert was gorgeous but skippable. Overall, an unforgettable dining experience!
