For a bit of a crunch, you can't go wrong with Chips & Salsa or the indulgent Molotes, a fried masa stuffed with savory fillings.

When it comes to tacos, Cocina Del Carmen offers a wide selection that ranges from classic to bold. The Adobada Taco is a must-try with its perfectly marinated pork, while the Birria Taco brings the rich, slow-cooked beef flavor to the table. The Carne Asada Taco and Carnitas Taco are staples for any taco lover, and the Chicken Taco offers a tender alternative for those who prefer poultry.

For a more substantial meal, the Burritos are packed with flavor. Whether you go for the Adobada Burrito, Birria Burrito, or the popular California Burrito loaded with fries, the portions are generous and filling. If you’re craving something special, try Carmen’s Favorites like the Birria En Su Jugo or the Carne Asada Plate, both of which highlight the deep, rich flavors of traditional Mexican cooking.

Don’t skip out on the delicious Enchiladas, whether you prefer the classic Enchiladas Plate, the veggie-packed Veggie Enchilada Plate, or the comforting Enfrijoladas Plate. For a lighter bite, the Chicken Salad is refreshing, while the Birria Torta and Pambazos are fantastic for those seeking a sandwich with a kick.

And for dessert, treat yourself to a slice of indulgent Tres Leche Cake or rich Cheesecake for the perfect end to your meal. With sides like Black Beans and Chiles Toreados to round off your dish, every bite at Cocina Del Carmen is a reminder of the rich, vibrant tastes of Mexico.
