Carmen’s Kitchen is a quick lunch spot near Times Square offering a good variety of choices. The food is delicious with remarkable quality, and the portions are large and affordable for NYC. The spicy chicken with rice and beans remains a popular choice, and the yellow rice with pork, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes are highly recommended. Customers often praise the food for its flavor and textures, describing it as always cooked to perfection. The interior stays well-kept and aesthetically pleasing, with friendly staff providing quick service. While the restaurant has limited seating and can get crowded, the line moves quickly, making it ideal for grabbing a quick and affordable meal rather than dining in. Some customers have noted that during peak hours, some items may sell out, so arriving early is advised. Overall, Carmen’s Kitchen is seen as a hidden gem and a great neighborhood spot with excellent prices and heavy portions.
