Carmen’s Place - Belton

Carmen’s is just a charming, picturesque small place on the side of the road. the owner is warm and friendly and so hospitable! he makes his own salsa both green and red, and I could have eaten on it alone! the place was his mother and he keeps it open in her memory. he also uses a lot of her recipes. as someone else said, there are sitting opportunities inside and in a covered screen in the area. I have the enchiladas with tears and borons. I loved the rice, perfectly cooked and only enough tomato and seasoned to make it very good. my dinner was wonderful. I'm so glad I stopped! and super affordable!

This place is an awesome little place to have lunch! Very rustic looking. The man there was also amazing. He played a game of chess after we ate lunch. Will definitely be going back! The man and his restaurant are a hidden gem

My kind of place. Owner is one man operstion Feels more like going over to a friend's house to eat only you need to pay. Will definitely be back!

Amazing place. Just happened across it after fishing one day and glad I did! Great prices, very friendly ownership and staff. Definitely a hole in the wall, so don't expect fancy, but if you are looking for great food at a great price, this is your place!

Home made rice and beans and simple food plates. I appreciate everything about this place. From the owner’s hospitality to the simple self serve of chips, salsa, queso and drinks. It’s not your typical restaurant though…so if you are looking for wait staff, it’s not for you. What you will get is an honest owner keeping his momma’s place alive. Just walk through the door, go to the window with the menu over it and the owner will pop over to take your order. While you wait, go grab your chips, salsa and drinks and have a seat. It’s a great experience. I even had the pleasure of conversing with Mack and getting to know him better.
