" After hearing such amazing things about Carmelita, I was excited to try it for breakfast. I wasn’t blown away by the experience. The quality of the food was decent, but I was expecting something more extraordinary. The coffee was good, but the chilaquiles were quite bland compared to what I’ve had elsewhere. The environment was cozy, and the staff were affable, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been going to Carmelita for breakfast for over a year now, and I can confidently say that it has become one of my favorite spots. The consistency in their quality is remarkable! I absolutely love their chilaquiles. They manage to create a perfect balance of flavors, and the presentation is always on point. What's more, I appreciate that they emphasize using locally sourced ingredients. It gives an authentic feel to the dishes. The barista at their coffee station really knows how to make a mean espresso too! My only suggestion would be to expand their breakfast menu a bit more, as I've tried almost everything they have! Overall, a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carmelita on a casual brunch day, and I have to say it was nice but not groundbreaking. The huevos enbirriados were well cooked and enjoyable, but I wouldn't say it was unique. The staff was friendly which made for a more pleasant experience overall. If you’re looking for a standard meal, it’s perfectly fine. The vibe is nice too, but I would expect more complexity in flavors next time I visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelita Molino y Cocina surpassed my expectations! I found the atmosphere to be very welcoming, blending rustic Mexican decor with modern touches. The highlight of my visit was the birria - it was unlike anything I've tasted before, bursting with rich, authentic flavors. The staff treated us like family and made sure our dining experience was top-notch. I also had a chance to try their agua de maíz azul, and it was refreshing! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for true Mexican flavors in Tijuana. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carmelita continues to be a beacon for authentic food lovers in Tijuana. The complicated flavors of their dishes capture your attention, while the meticulous service enhances the entire dining experience. I was thoroughly impressed by the stuffed poblano pepper I ordered; it was savory with a hint of spice, loving every bite! The inviting atmosphere made this place truly stand out.

" 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*)
