Terrible food. Carnitas so overcooked it was like pork jerky. Quality of everything so terrible it’s obvious that Carmelita’s staff does not care at all.

Do yourself a favor and go. The Margaritas were first class. Food was perfection.

Food was delicious, however our server never once offered us drinks so we just drank the water...party of 10 they probably lost a $100 with no drink offerings.

A soul warming food in the cold days!
The food was the familiar standard of Carmelita’s which was tasty no matter where
The service was excellent. The waiter was very knowledgeable about Mezcal and my table was gulping everything he recommended.
The ambiance was simple and almost like fast food join feel.
However, this branch has free parking as an art of the strip mall.

Large positions. Excellent food and service.
I went to this place with my family for lunch! Food was so fresh and yummy. Food took little longer to come as they had a big catering order. 5 stars for our server, Antonino, who kept us posted about the catering order and checked on us multiple times!! I will surely go back to this place!!

The food was amazing, though the service was slow and the ambiance could be better. Despite these drawbacks, the flavorful and tasty dishes make it worth a visit. Overall, I would still recommend it.

Great place. Outstanding service. Very friendly, prompt, and attentive. Food was delicious and presented beautifully. Chips and salsa with bean dip before meal was great.
Only negatives, a little expensive and portions not huge. Also, they charge a lot for things such as kids drink and soda water which at most places is free. But overall I’d highly recommend this place.

Dropping down a point due to new policy of charging for extra chips. Served 4 people a very small bowl of chips (barely enough for 2) and then charge for more. Food is very good, but expensive in any case. As a repeat customer disappointed with this policy.
