Now with grilled veggies.

The rice cakes themselves are still quite a thrill— with tomato and onion and spices and whatnot, baked then fried to crispy perfection. Fantastic!!

We make our own rice cakes, with fresh cilantro, tomato, onion and garlic. De-e-e-e-lish!

Top them with a couple of eggs, either breakfast meat or mashed black beans like me, and a side salad; maybe even slathered in guacamole (and we make a mean guacamole)

One of our most popular specialist, returned.

Huevos Tostada— Easy over eggs on a crispy fried tortilla, layered with home fries, chorizo and Manchego cheese, covered with ranchero sauce, drizzled with lime cream, and topped with avocado. Whew! But with the side salad it has all you need for a winters day, with plenty of fuel for jingling bells, shoveling snow and shopping

With fresh strawberry-orange compote and your choice of Whipped Cream or Vanilla Yoghurt

With the nutty coating on these succulent Chicken Tenders fried just-so crunchy, we are seriously close to running out of adjectives. Please, if you care for the English language, stop by Carmen’s booth on Broadway and drop off a few descriptors.

Pick up some of these Chicken Tenders at the same time, and top them off with a hot spicy Chai, to lift a cool fall day!

Ease into your morning with a Mocha Latte from Carmen’s. Rich Colombian coffee, plus tasty organic Cacao, blended with cream, maple syrup and a hint of orange.

Can’t wait for my Avocado Toast and Mimosa
