About this restaurant

Nestled in an earth-toned hacienda, Casa Carmen welcomes you with the aroma of traditional dishes and warm hospitality. Pair your meal with agave-based house cocktails, perfectly crafted to complement the vibrant notes of mole Xico, the complex richness of cochinita pibil, and the delicate sweetness of flan. Each dish tells a story of generations of culinary artistry.

    Our bartender, Luis was very bueno :-P as the Sandia cocktail was really nice and smooth. The food were delicious but the portions are small. The place is nice and trendy. Seems a bit overpriced for what you get. My friend and I had a good time though.

    The food was incredible. I had the octopus for the main dish and it was so tender and flavorful. The side dishes were great, the rice was fluffy and delicious and the refried beans were so good. So many great options on the menu to choose from. I will be back to try other dishes because the food was THAT good. The service was also great. It was packed but we never waited long for anything. Water refills were done regularly and we did not have to wait long for any of our courses. The space is beautiful, the decorations are so pretty and the dining room is dimly lit but not too dark. I was there for my birthday and so glad I chose this restaurant. Highly recommend!
    Casa Carmen TribecaResponded on October 18, 2026
    Hola Ana, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled that you chose Casa Carmen to celebrate your birthday and that you had such a memorable experience. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed the octopus (one of our favorites), sides, and the variety of options on our menu. We are equally happy that our team took such good care of you, even on a busy evening, and that you enjoyed the atmosphere and décor. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation. We cannot wait to welcome you back to try more of our dishes!

    My girlfriend and I are regulars here. She’s Mexican and swears there are no Mexican restaurants in Mexico that come close to this place in quality. I highly recommend their crab tostada appetizer! It’s amazing. Also their veggie quesadillas are unreal! I’m not sure you will find better mole out there either. This place is an absolute gem!
