" Let me tell you about my experience at Carmelita's! As a self-proclaimed food lover, I have tried numerous Mexican restaurants, but this one stands out. The flavors capture the essence of home-cooked Mexican meals, made with love. I was blown away by their mole sauce, which was rich and deeply flavored, taking me back to my time in Oaxaca. The ambiance was simple but charming, and I enjoyed the friendly service from the staff, who genuinely seemed to care. This will become a regular stop for me, and I encourage anyone curious to check it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stepping into Carmelita's was a glorious choice on a rainy day. It felt cozy and welcoming. The staff was friendly, and the food was delightful. I tried the pozole, and it was hearty and flavorful. However, my only complaint was that the guacamole could have been more seasoned. Overall, I would return because the positive aspects definitely outweighed the few issues, and ample food made it worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just attended a birthday party at Carmelita’s, and we had a blast! The party arrangements were seamless. The staff made sure we were well taken care of. I had the enchiladas, and they were delightful. The amount served was so generous. I felt completely satisfied by the end and would love to come back for another gathering or just a casual dinner.

" My experience at Carmelita's was a bit mixed. The flavors of the food were pretty good, but they didn't have that kick I was expecting. The portion sizes were quite generous, but there was a rather long wait for the food to come out. I loved the idea of this place, and the staff was wonderful, but hopefully they will ramp up their kitchen speed in the future! Hoping to see improvements on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

I highly recommend their seafood dishes, especially the shrimp tacos! " (*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*)
