About Her Name Was Carmen

Her Name Was Carmen is a trendy and beautifully decorated restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. The food is much better than expected, with standout dishes such as croquetas de jamon, ceviche, and NY Strip Steak. Customers also enjoy delicious dishes like skirt stakes, steak tartare, grilled octopus, and juicy roasted chicken. The cocktails are highly praised, including the Carmencita, a great drink choice. The service is friendly and accommodating, with staff offering complimentary shots and desserts during special celebrations. The overall vibe reflects a Latino influence, and the downstairs lounge provides fun and festive weekend SoHo vibes, serving mezcal, tequila, and sotol in a Mexican-style speakeasy. Customers recommend making a reservation in advance, as the place is popular and the downstairs lounge has a cover charge for entry.
