" My coworker raved about this place, and I finally decided to try it out. The service was pleasant and the staff seemed eager to please. My tacos were good, but I wouldn't say they were authentic to what I’m used to in San Antonio. I suspect this place caters more to a general audience rather than purists. Still, I enjoyed my meal enough to contemplate a second visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were thrilled to find Carmelitas as we searched for authentic Mexican food. The dishes are delicious and mostly traditional, including some fulfilling breakfast items. While it may not have the fanciest decor, the cozy atmosphere adds to its charm. I did notice some wait times, but nothing too excessive. I appreciate a place that sticks to its roots. " (*Curated Review*)

" I come to Carmelitas quite often for lunch. The pricing is reasonable, and the portions are fair. Most of the time, I get their combo plates which offer a good variety. However, I have noticed that the consistency in flavor varies; sometimes it’s excellent, and other times a bit off. But the friendly staff makes each visit enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" So disappointed with my experience at Carmelitas. The beans were cold, the salsa was bland, and my flautas were overcooked. Although the staff was nice, it can’t compensate for the food quality. I asked for extra hot sauce and was told they were out! I won’t be coming back after this disappointing meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s a favorite in the neighborhood! I love the authentic flavor of their dishes. Even as a picky eater, I find options that I adore. The only downside is that sometimes their service can be slow, especially during rush hours. These minor inconveniences don’t overshadow the great food though. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelitas is not just a restaurant; it's an experience! The atmosphere is vibrant, and the decorations remind me of traditional Mexican culture. I shared a meal with a friend, and we ordered various appetizers. The chicharrones were crispy and delicious, paired perfectly with their house-made guacamole. Although the place was busy, we received our food quickly. I would recommend it for anyone craving a fiesta on a plate! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm an avid fan of authentic Mexican cuisine, and I have to say Carmelitas hits the mark! Their salsa is flavorful and complements their meals perfectly. I tried the chile relleno and was very impressed by how well they prepared it. The only downside was that parking can be tricky sometimes, but that's not enough to deter me from returning!
