Huevos Tostados / Lox & Goat Cheese Omelet / Banana-Pecan Pancakes
Huevos Tostados—Layers of flavor, Perfect savor!
Picture this: a crispy fried taco topped with home fries and chorizo or veggie hash, manchego cheese, and a pair of sunnyup eggs— then some spring greens and avocado. And don’t forget the ranchero sauce or the lime crema on top!
And yes, that is a small side of cucumber pico just to set it all off.
What do you get when you put Lox in Goat Cheese?
The best omelet that ever escaped from a bagel!
What’s that, you say? Can you have it with Capers?
I’m glad you asked!
Of course we’ll pack it with capers!
And garnish it with
fresh fruit!
And give you a side of bacon, if you really love taste sensations!
Banana-Pecan Pancakes everybody’s favorite!
We pralinize the pecans— crunchy-crispy, sweet and spicy!
Then we wrap them in Banana Pancake batter, with a sweet taste of Orange Zest for that Tropical Cuban flavor.
Party the winter away!
Some whipped cream, some fresh fruit—
with 100% pure maple syrup!
Why? Because we’re Carmen’s! And it tastes so gooooood!
Spanish Hot Chocolate
Milk and cream, sugar and spices, a whole orange, and fine German chocolate. All blended together to make our Spanish Xocolate Caliente
And yes, we are open for breakfast!
Pecan Crusted French Toast
Wow, incredible!
We made a single piece to show you, but an order is normally three slices.
Lightly spiced, fragrant, with Pecan Praline and your choice of our Cuban Sauce or 100% pure Maple Syrup
Best Pancakes In The World
Orange Pancakes with Cuban Sauce and our own fresh Orange Butter.
Tastier than any other pancakes in the world. Guaranteed!
5 Reasons to eat Huevos Tostados in a Snowstorm
1) Wow, the blend of flavors is incredible!
2) Fills you without bogging you down
3) The taste drives me wild!
4) Uh, what was I saying?
Huevos Benedictus with a twist
To make Hollandaise Sauce you whisk the eggs with one hand while with the other you drizzle in clarified butter.
Poached eggs on English muffins, with a ham and Hollandaise. Home fries and a cucumber pico on the side.
Our special twist? We put a thin schmear of goat cheese underneath the eggs. Ab-solutely delightful!
Cuban Pancakes
First you flash off the rum, then melt the brown sugar. Add orange juice to help it caramelize, and when it’s ready, start stirring in chunks of icy cold butter. Finish with Cuban spices and— voilá! Cuban sauce.
Now put that over banana pancakes, with a dollop of cream (ice or fresh whipped, I’m not sure which yet) and there you have it: Cuban pancakes!
