ordered pork chops and white rice. she only had a small portion white rice so she called me and offered to send the white rice and red rice. when I received the food it fed 3 people!!!! the pork chops were huge and seasoned perfectly and now I know her red rice is just as good as her white rice. and the beans were so thick. super satisfied 😁

I love this place. The food is always so good and fresh, and I’ll definitely order again.
What I enjoyed
Spanish Rice**: Flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and fluffy. Each bite had a nice balance of tomato, garlic, and saffron notes.
Pork Chops**: Juicy and well-cooked with a tasty crust. The seasoning was bold but not overpowering, and the meat stayed tender.
Sweet Plantains**: Ripe and caramelized, with a delightful sweetness that complemented the savory dishes perfectly.
Overall vibes
Freshness: Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.
Consistency: Repeated orders have been consistently satisfying.
Value: Good portions for the price, with clear care put into the flavors.
If you’re craving comforting, well-made Latin-inspired dishes, Carman’s Kitchen is a solid choice. I’ll certainly be coming back for more.

Carmens is the best! Everything is always tasty and hot upon arrival. She has great comm skills and will call to let you know if shes out of anything you may have ordered. Her slow Pernil Asado/Slow Roasted Pork is delicious! Beef and cheese Pastelillos are amazing! And sweet plantains are great too!! I order from here a few times a week..and I have never been disappointed.

Carmen was great. While they ran out of what I organically order she called me asking me what i would like as an alternative. The carne guisada (beef Stew) I ended up getting was amazing. It might have even been better than my Grandma's. I will definitely be ordering here again when I come to Wilmington.

The Pernil Asado/Slow Roasted Pork was so darn delicious. The rice is cooked to perfection. The plantains are tasty. And the Pastellios were flaky warm and good.
