" Carmelita is a hidden gem in Tijuana! I went for brunch and tried their enchiladas with green sauce. They were delicious and it felt like they were made with love! The portion sizes are generous, which is great, especially considering the price. The only downside was that the coffee could have been better - it didn't have the rich flavor I was looking for. Nevertheless, I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelita is a beautiful restaurant with authentic dishes that are a delight to the senses. The tacos were the highlight of our meal, bursting with flavor and freshness. The service was spotty during our visit but nothing too detrimental to the experience. The charming decor and light jazz music really created a nice atmosphere. I can see why people love it here; I'll certainly be coming back to try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelita is a respectable place with good food, but I had slightly higher expectations. My friends recommended their huevos enbirriados, and while they were good, they didn’t blow me away. The service was friendly yet a bit erratic, and I felt that my cappuccino could have used a bit more flavor. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it a friendly spot to gather with friends. I wouldn't say it's a bad place, just not my personal favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Carmelita was quite mixed. While the ambiance was charming and the decor very inviting, I was a bit disappointed with the food. I ordered the ceviche, and while it was fresh, it didn't have that kick of flavor I was expecting from a good ceviche. The service was attentive, and the staff seemed genuinely friendly. I think I might give it another try, perhaps for brunch next time, as I'm keen to explore their menu further. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Carmelita Molino y Cocina after hearing so much about it, and it truly lived up to its reputation! The tacos al pastor were packed with flavor, and each bite took me on a journey through Mexican culinary tradition. The service was friendly, but a bit slow at times due to the crowd, which I could understand as the place was buzzing with energy. The ambiance felt very homey, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends. Plus, they have an impressive selection of local beers! I can't wait to go back and try their brunch offerings soon.

" At Carmelita, I appreciate the conscious effort for high-quality ingredients. The dishes feel more health-oriented, especially the ceviche, which I loved. The cozy atmosphere gave it a more friendly appeal, making everyone feel included. The only concern was the waiting times; they could improve on that. I’ll definitely return to enjoy more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Carmelita was quite satisfying. The kitchen seems to focus on beautiful presentation while maintaining excellent flavor in their dishes. I enjoyed the chilaquiles, which offered a lovely burst of flavors and generous portions. The atmosphere was calm and pleasant, a great setting for a relaxed meal. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
