Welcome to Carmen's Cafe!

Annual Christmas Eve Potluck

Yes, Carmen will host her annual Dec. 24 potluck from 5-10 on Christmas Eve

We put out rice & beans, picadillo, plantains, salad, flan and goodness knows what else, topped with sangria and iced tea. You bring a dish to share and all the friends you can find.

We all go home with a lot more friends than we had before.
