Casa Carmen Tribeca — Restaurant in New York

This place is amazing! I took my aunt's from out of town and they just had a great time! The food is spectacular. The best chicken enchiladas I have had and I am from Texas so that says a lot. The fish dishes are amazing. I got to get a taste from my aunt's plates. The margaritas are the best I have had in years. My aunt's are margarita connoisseurs and they loved the top shelf and the watermelon. I thought the watermelon was smooth and crisp with a hint of fun. We sat at the bar and the bartender Luis was just the best. He helped elevate the night with recommendations and brought a spirit of fun and enjoyment to the ambiance. He was very knowledgeable on the food, the drinks, and the regulars. He still took the time to take care of the new people who are learning the ropes at the place. The crowd was very respectful and happy to be there and you could tell that the regulars are in a good mood. Sebastian was just lovely and found a way to make sure we got to enjoy the night with good seats. The family ambiance that created this restaurant is felt in the food and the details that combined make this restaurant a gem. I highly...

This place has great food but we had some very unpleasant experience last night. We placed an order of carnitas tacos and an order of beef tongue tacos (two tacos of each order). Our server brought us two portions of carnitas tacos (4 tacos in total) and told us one of them was beef tongue taco (although they look pretty much the same and we raised our concern in the first place). We accepted it, tried one each, and found out they were the same. Later the server brought us another taco and told us it's the beef tongue one. We told him the wrong carnitas taco order and the server said it's fine, which I took it as we wouldn't be charged on the extra tacos. However, when we were ready to pay our bill, I found out they charged us 2 carnitas tacos and 1 beef tongue taco. I raised my concern, another server told me that it's us who would like to keep both carnitas tacos, which is totally a lie. In the end, they corrected the bill amount, but the server insisted that we cannot take out any left-over tacos (we have to leave it there!) This is something I would never expect anywhere else. The whole experience was very...

10/10 for food, 0/10 for drinks, 4/10 for service

Food - we got the guac, lamb barbacoa tacos, chicken enchiladas, churros and flan. Everything was great, especially loved the tacos. Came with the spicy sauce that complimented the meat well

Drinks - got a regular margarita and a blood orange. Very low quality, blood orange barely had any flavor. Given the price and quality of the food, this place needs to up its drink game

Service - staff was like your clingy ex. Always there, watching you, making you feel uncomfortable. Although everything was quick (almost too quick for the food?), they watch you like a hawk and as soon as you finish they clear everything. We could have used more water, yet they took the bottle once we paid. I could’ve ate more guac, yet they took it once they thought we finished. Service needs to be improved, ruined...
