" Decided to take my family to Carmelita's for dinner last weekend. With kids in tow, it was important to find a kid-friendly place, and this hit the mark! The menu is diverse enough to please everyone, and our meals were outstanding! I loved the attention to detail in the flavors. Plus, we received excellent service which is always a bonus when dining with children. Will certainly be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelita's is a local gem! My friends and I visited last weekend and absolutely loved it. The margaritas were refreshing, and the tacos were some of the best I've had outside of Mexico. I appreciate the attention to detail in their cooking—it felt authentic and homemade. The only downside was a slight delay in service due to a busy night, but definitely worth every second of wait. Highly recommend for anyone looking for genuine Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many rave reviews, I decided to give Carmelita's a try. The carne asada was tender and flavorful. I must admit, the portions were indeed plentiful, making it an excellent value for money. The service could have been a tad more brisk, as we faced a bit of a wait even though it wasn't too busy. The décor is rather minimal, which some might consider a drawback, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. I appreciated the authenticity and would return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a place to escape the cold, and I stumbled upon Carmelita's. It was like finding a little slice of heaven! The ceviche was fresh, and for the price, portions were generous. The interior was warm and welcoming. I did have a hiccup with my service as our server disappeared for a bit, but the food and atmosphere made up for it. A solid new favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let’s be honest, finding good Mexican food in this area is hard. I was skeptical at first about Carmelita’s given some mixed reviews. But I took the leap and was pleasantly surprised! The fajitas were sizzling and full of taste, and they catered well to my spice tolerance. I didn’t think I could finish the generous portion, but I ultimately did! The staff was super friendly and attentive, definitely a restaurant I will revisit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Going to Carmelita's was such a treat! The food was incredible - vibrant, authentic, and generously portioned. I sampled a bit of everything, from tacos to enchiladas, and everything was equally delicious. The vibe was laid back, which added to the enjoyment. Despite the wait, it was well worth it for such satisfying and flavorful food. I will definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)
