Carmelita's Authentic Mexican Food

I’m just gonna come out and say it’s the best Mexican food restaurant in the world for a bodybuilder

Surprisingly, good Mexican food. We walked in and were not sure what to expect. The restaurant is very basic. I ordered 2 fried tacos with ground beef, which were excellent and freshly made. I also ordered a side of rice and beans, which was huge. I ended up taking most of the rice and beans home. My hubby ordered beef enchilada dinner, which was not on the menu, but they made the enchilada with beef for him. The food is truly authentic! The service was adequate. We highly recommend Carmelita's. They seem to do a large take out business.

Looks a lot nicer without the salsa bar. Food is great, there are only two Mexican style restaurants in oak view and this one is superior food-wise.I’m a little disappointed there is not a specific “burrito bowl” or similar on the menu. Portion sizes are large and quality of the food is high. I work nearby so it’s nice to have a good eatery in my satellite.Bathroom is always clean when I’ve used it. Parking: Parking lot leaves a little to be desired as it’s regularly full of vehicles without patrons being in the store, locals likely use it to park their cars.

I had the most amazing fish tacos today! I'm not kidding I've never had anything better.I was disappointed that it looks like a taqueria inside and not a nicer restaurant which the signage would make you think was waiting for you. I got over that fact, with the fabulous Margarita they served!

Good menu selection, and the food was quite good and authentic. Parking: Very small parking lot. Can be difficult to find parking during busy times.
