Carmen's Kitchen — Restaurant in Placencia

An authentically local experience and food. Had the full breakfast with scrambled eggs, ham, beans and fryjack. Savory and satisfying, the fryjack was amazing, a perfect vessel for dipping in the beans. Place was jumping with local folks and tourists grabbing takeaway. The bf tacos looked amazing, as did the burrito (it was massive). Super affordable. Dine inside the tiny space at the 1 picnic table or sit at the counter, a tight fit but somehow works. The ladies working were very pleasant handling a busy day and taking phone orders too. It was organized chaos, in a good way! Very much recommend, thank you Carmen! update I went back two more times during my stay, it's that good! Had stuffed fryjack w chicken, which was so flavorful and super yummy. Very satisfying.

The garnachos, wonderful, and the fry tacos excellent! Fry jacks, light, puffy and oh so good! Not one thing was disappointing. A MUST stop!

Also, incredibly affordable! Order it all, your taste buds will be delighted, and your wallet will have nothing to complain about since it is...
