Carmen's Cantina: Reviews & Ratings
Decent food, seem to be authentic. Price is reasonable. Service was great when we were there. Our waiter was attentive. This was my second time there. Casual atmosphere, more of a dive. Cheap cocktails during happy hours.
Carmen's is not just a place that we come eat at. It's now became our go to favorite spot in town. From the welcoming staff to the amazing service by Jose at the Bar. This place checks every mark. Their food is tasty and I don't mean that in the sense that food is good. No I mean their food is spiced right, the details of how every dish is made is just inviting and makes you want to eat it. The ambiance is family friendly in the main dining hall but if you are like us try sitting around the bar area it's always a very busy area and the staff are always running around ensuring everyone is taken care of. You get a sense of community being there it's just so inviting of a place as a whole. One of our favorite dishes is the molcajete. Probably spelled it wrong but it's just so delicious and you will not go wrong with choosing it especially if you wanna share.
Excellent dishes and service. They're always consistent and of great value! I'm looking forward to bringing others to enjoy this restaurant.
Good food and lots of it! I ordered the fajitas mix and added mushrooms and it was delicious. Service is definitely stunted depending on how busy it is. The building itself has very dim lighting.
Love Carmen's! Great food. They even have lunch specials on the weekends. Drink specials every day. Great salsa and cheese dip.
Looking for a tasty spot in Lees Summit for Mexican cuisine?? Carmen's Cantina & Mexican Grill will have you leaving happily stuffed. The pineapple fajita mix was stacked as high as possible with meat and topped with slices of fresh pineapple. The margaritas are worth every penny! We sat the bar but there is plenty of seating for families and couples.
