   We had Christmas dinner with friends (total of 8). Am a local but have never been to the restaurant. Everyone had something different and all were very happy with their meals. We also shared several side dishes. Service was excellent, not hovering but attentive. Will definitely be going again.

   Ordered wine and enjoyed the selection. The entrees were trout and the signature chicken dish. Both were very good and flavorful. Also had a dessert which was fine. Jessica was excellent as our server. We had been at Tia Carmen two years ago on Christmas and we enjoyed the meal again tonight.

   Shocking how good the food was here. Loved their version of the fried rice. Best pork chop I have ever had. Our server was fantastic and took great care of us. Educated us on the menu and various moles!

   A place that knows it value, the Mercado at Tia Carmen is a more than solid choice for breakfast. Its buffet style breakfast, has a not to large not to small selection of hot and cold offerings. Nothing is subpar, and many selections (like the beef, rice and yogurt) are exceptional. Only bake goods are uneven in taste. Coffee is top notch. Jams, meats, fruit and great. Omelette station available too. Service is attentive and not bothersome. Expensive but worth it.

   The food and service was ok, but not worth the level of pricing there.

   The food offering for brunch was delicious. However, when it came to pay the bill and they were six of us and we asked for individual checks, their system cannot do that. The maximum amount of checks that they can do is for. I have never been to an establishment where no matter how many were at the table you couldn’t put in all your credit cards and have the bill divided by the number of cards that were given. The system seems very, very antiquated.

   One of my favorite breakfast locations in all of town. The value for the buffet/brunch selections and beverages are outstanding! The service staff is excellent. Grab a plate, head to the buffet and run (don’t walk) to the Dulce de Leche French Toast!

   Excellent food and experience all the way around. Tasting menu was well worth it and I appreciated that they let us order 1 portion instead of the whole table. Everything was delicious and the mussels were some of the best we’ve ever had.

    Portions are very small for the price! Service was great & food was good, but not exceptional.
