Service is outstanding. Food does not match service level, ambiance or price level. Not as flavorful as expected. Enjoyable evening, just short of expectations for the setting.

My husband and I celebrated his birthday last night at Tia Carmen and we had an amazing time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. But what really stood out was the hostess. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and sweet. Her energy set the tone for a fantastic evening. I genuinely loved everything about this place and can’t wait to come back!
