I always get the same thing every time we go, although I try to convince myself to try the rest of the amazing menu ? asada gordita, pork tamale, and a horchata! We always have to get the chips and queso (boyfriend doesn’t like pico ?). The food always tastes fresh, the family that runs it is always so inviting and happy to help!! The environment is always so welcoming. Not pictured is the chocolate chimi. If you’re thinking about getting it, but unsure, just DO IT! You won’t regret it. Honestly, I don’t think you could regret anything you would get from here! Thank you Carmen’s Cocina II for taking care of us and serving the best food ?
Absolutely love the food here! I always get a carnitas torta and they cook the carnitas perfect. The lemonade is amazing too. And the owners are so nice and friendly.

This would be the first place I would tell people visiting Olathe to go for a meal. Carmen‘s is literally the best breakfast burrito in the world. They not only have incredible food but amazing service and ownership. They do incredible things just the Olathe community and love people well. Your day will be brighter if you visit Carmen’s. This is the breakfast burrito with chorizo.

I go to Carmen's quite regularly and love the owner & the food. Today, I got a taco platter (3 tacos, rice & beans), a chicken quesadilla, a large guacamole, & chips. I asked how many salsa's would come with my order because the last time I ordered, there simply wasn't enough provided to cover our meals. I was told 2 (to go ramekins, 1.75 oz). TWO for three tacos, a quesadilla and large guacamole. I asked for two more and was charged $.50 for them. I understand it's only .50 cents, but it seems like a poor place to up charge your customers. Just my opinion. Additionally, their "large" guacamole is not large. Carmen's, did you change the size of the large guacamole? I've only ordered it while eating in & the portion when ordering to go seems significantly smaller, but I could be wrong. Side note- Their chips are unbelievably good. Homemade. You can order large or regular size. The large will feed 20+ people. This review would be 5 star all the way if this had not happened. Salsa should be provided in my opinion 4 total for the meals (2 per meal) and maybe, 1 for the guacamole. This review is primarily to let people know so that they can order extra salsa. Bring your change!

One of my favorite go to. Personally I feel they’re so underrated and they are a lot better than the typical overhype Hispanic restaurants. Plus they’re local and hard working people that provides great food. Please give them a try if you haven’t.

I can’t say enough about this place. I am a “regular” for many reasons. The food is always fantastic, the service is always attentive and friendly and it is always consistent. The team at Carmen’s truly cares about their customers and feels like family.
The staff is absolutely awesome just like the food. Indoor and outdoor ? seatingWheelchair accessibility: First floor no steps.

Just went here with a friend who has been going there for years! Absolutely amazing food! Family owned and run. I heard about their days where they run special foods and how it is absolutely stupid to not go on those days. The family is awesome, they even have some swag you can buy. This is definitely one of the little secrets in the area. Don't miss it if you're driving by. The food was so good I forgot to take a picture!

This is a fantastic little spot to have in our neighborhood. Prices are really affordable - especially since they have a great a la cart menu to go with their platters. Their breakfast options are also delicious.The best part of this place is the people there though - everyone is incredibly nice, welcoming, and the service is really attentive. We're lucky to have them here!
