Trifongo was good but dense, pizza fritter had more of a sweet potato taste, was pretty empty and overly oily. Sorullos con queso were delicious and very cornmeal-y. The don't have pasteles every week, but when they do, they all contain meat. Definitely will return on a weekend night with friends, and will try some entree items and crab fritters. Parking lot was constantly full, hard to find a spot, likely would need to take chances with street parking.

The lady at the counter was very sweet though. She was very willing to answered questions about the food they had on display. They have a pretty limited menu. I would love to go back and try some of the other dishes. I'm not sure if they have dine-in though. It looks like a quick take out food joint mostly serving the office goers around. The place was very clean, perhaps because it was new. I hope they maintain it that way.

The onion rings may be the best I've ever had... super crunchy, and make sure you have Carmen's special onion ring sauce with it (a hint of bacon!). Also best empanadas I've ever had; the outer shell was crispy and did not by any means overpower the perfectly seasoned filling. I loved the tostones and the garlicky aranas. Top it all off with the perfect tres leches cake, and you've reached paradise. The atmosphere was super warm and friendly, thanks to Andre' (Carmen's partner in business and life). He made everyone who entered the restaurant feel at home. The physical space was immaculately clean, bright, and comfortable. I can't wait to try the other delights at Carmen's Cooking!

I was greeted by the young woman behind the counter, very friendly. I believe her name is Denielys. I was craving for Tostones and Chicharrón.

With a Maracuyá (Passion Fruit)juice, what a delicious combo. They have Daily Specials. I'll be back.

The food was absolutely fantastic, delicious, and very filling. I was only able to eat half - great portions for the price. Fast service too - I was in and out within 3 minutes. Friendly staff too! My only regret now, is not trying this place out sooner. I also got a beef and cheese empanada ($2.50). I thought it was fairly plain, but the plate was phenomenal, and I will definitely return again very soon!

Originally came here because I found a coupon with restaurants.com but upon arriving, the staff said they were no longer accepted. Bummer but I still ordered food. The pepperoni empanada was meh. Mostly dough. The beef empanada had more of a Jamaican Patty than Latino flavor but still delicious. The fried chicken was crunchy with moist meat. The pulled pork was succulent and the skin was crispy. The yellow rice and beans was full of flavor. I'll admit, the area is sketchy so grab food only in the daylight. The dining area isn't the most inviting either so take out is recommended.

The juices are great. I should've taken some to go. The rice and beans with chicken were a hit as well. Glad to find a bit of home here. They also have a market of food and goodies to buy right next to the restaurant. This is definitely a little gem. Check them out.

Thankfully there were pates and sambusas in the hot case still warm, so we got those hot and fresh. The ambiance was a little lack luster. Not much decorum or music, but there is a smaller store on the other side of the restaurant. I didn't get a chance to check it out but next time. If it's two things you remember to try it's the Sorrel (Hibiscus) Juice and the Somali fish Sambusas. I would drive back for those two things alone. The sorrel juice is so flavorful and spicy from the ginger. Those two menu items alone are a 15/15
