    The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but the food and drinks were just okay. I’ve been to better Mexican restaurants in NYC. Probably won’t go back.

    This was a pleasant surprise. When you see it from the outside, you might question your decision, once you walk through the door a whole new world opens up. It was amazing

    Overall the experience was fine, service was attentive and responsive but food was far from special, nothing wrong, solid ingredients but generally bland and uninteresting for a restaurant of this reputation and price point. The Mexican rice; plain white rice with a few shriveled peas stood out as ridiculous. Any taco truck has better and more authentic rice. I’d opt for Fonda or several other venues for tastier food that are more craft fully and uniquely prepared. Margaritas were excellent, but despite three appetizers, tacos entree and sides, there was were no dishes tasty enough to be worth returning. Completely unimpressed.
    Casa Carmen TribecaResponded on 18 February 2025
    Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. While we are glad to hear that the service and margaritas stood out, we are truly sorry that the food did not meet your expectations. We take a lot of pride in our recipes and flavors, so it is disappointing to hear that they felt bland and unmemorable to you. Your feedback on the rice and overall dishes is valuable, and we will be sharing it with our team as we continually refine and improve. We appreciate your honesty and the opportunity to learn from your experience. We hope that one day we can welcome you back and change your impression. Casa Carmen Tribeca Team

    So the food was excellent and the staff/service was efficient and very warm…the big issue was the dogs in the restaurant. We were placed at a table at the rear of the restaurant. About 10 minutes later a table arrived with a dog on a lead that sat under their table for the duration of the meal. About 20 minutes into our meal a rather noisy party arrived with a small dog in a bag . They sat right next to us. Unfortunately the dog didn’t stay in the bag and wandered along their seats ending up about 8 inches from me! The tables are v close at the back. The staff diligently asked if we had any allergies at the start of the meal.. we don’t have food allergies but I am allergic to dogs! I didn’t expect to encounter a dog in a restaurant like this and scanned the restaurant and there were no empty tables that we could move to. I had itchy eyes very quickly as well as congestion which lasted throughout that night. I really think that management should rethink their policy on dogs. We won’t be back until they do.
