" Carmelos Tacos is a must-try for anyone in Seattle. Their menu has something for everyone, and I personally love the carne asada tacos. The ingredients are fresh, these tacos offer great value for your money, and the atmosphere is vibrant. I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelos is another gem I stumbled upon! Their tacos are fantastic, especially the cheesy quesabirria! Plus, they always have fresh ingredients, which makes a huge difference. The dining area is nice, but it can get a bit crowded, especially during the lunch rush. I'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The al pastor tacos here never disappoint! They’re full of flavor, and the service was friendly and prompt. The atmosphere is casual but lively, perfect for lunch. I would definitely visit again, but I hope they don't change the recipe! The only downside was the slightly high price. " (*Curated Review*)

" I always enjoy going to Carmelos for their tacos! The variety is great, and each taco is crafted with care, offering authentic Mexican taste. I appreciate the friendliness of the staff. My favorite is the birria—and it’s always a crowd pleaser! Although sometimes the wait can be long, the flavors make it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos are good, but I'm finding it harder to justify the price increase lately. I tried the cactus burrito, and while it was tasty, the serving size seemed smaller than before. The atmosphere has retained its casual vibe, which I love. Overall, still a solid option but I hope they reevaluate their prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carmelos Tacos last weekend, and it was nothing short of amazing! The birria tacos were heavenly, with succulent meat and rich flavor. The handmade tortillas were the best I've ever had, making each bite a delight. The staff was incredibly friendly and answered all my questions about the menu, ensuring I had the best experience. I highly recommend trying the carne asada tacos as well. The portion sizes are generous for the price, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Mexican fare, Carmelos Tacos is a must-visit! I had the campechano taco, which was packed with flavor and really hit the spot. The tortillas are freshly made and really elevate the entire meal. I also enjoyed their churros, which were deliciously crispy. The atmosphere is cozy, but it can get busy during peak times, so be prepared for a slight wait. I already can’t wait to come back and bring friends! " (*Curated Review*)
