Melts In Your Mouth

Ever had Chicken Salad that is so tender that it just melts in your mouth?

I just did! Tender roasted, with fresh mango, herbs & spices, layered w/ lettuce & tomato on fresh ciabatta.

Chicken Mango Salad— as a salad or a sandwich.

Tonight: Pernil!

Okay, so I told you that Pernil is roasted pork shoulder. So what do we do with it?

Check out the Crispy Pork tonight to see.

We start with a healthy serving of Pernil, in a bit of mofungo, a popular Latin side dish. Mofungo is made with mashed plantains, bacon & chicharron. Top it off with sofrito, a minced mix of peppers, garlic and onion

You just learned three new words in Spanish. Come in tonight and we will show you three new tastes!

Cheesecake To Die For

Soooooooo many fresh berries! You got your blueberries, you got your blackberries, and then you got your red raspberries on top of that! It’s about the seat tasting fruit I’ve ever had, no exaggeration.

As if that’s not enough, we tip it with a fresh berry sauce– same berries, natural sweetness, just a touch of added sugar. I’m doubly amazed.

Blue Cheese Tartlette

We used phyllo dough to make the blue cheese tartlets. We placed them on salad greens and drizzled them lightly with must to make the most delicious tartlets you have ever tasted.

Like we say here at Carmen’s, “Another day another amazingly delicious tapa!”
