My fav spot in Borrego, great food, margs and people!
Amazing food. Friendly service. Best place hands down in Borrego Springs!
Extremely good food. Tastes are delightful. Salsa for chips and salsa is very good, too. Even the coffee is tasty. I was expecting Folger's or something but no, they use Farmers Boys coffee and it was great.
Busy place on a Sunday morning around lunch, but our food came quite quickly and was very hot.
Everyone's food that was served around us looked good, too!
Great deals on house margaritas - $5 on Sunday. We didn't have one but the price caught my eye!

Carmelita's Mexican Grill offers a delightful dining experience with its good food and friendly service. The atmosphere may not be the main draw, but the delicious dishes like beef Chimichanga and shrimp fajitas make it a must-visit spot for Mexican cuisine lovers. The staff is quick and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The homemade nachos and salsa are highly praised, with many customers saying they could eat them all night. The carne asada taco plate features perfect corn tortillas, flavorful meat, and chunky guacamole that many find outstanding. The tortilla chips are often described as beyond amazing and not stale, adding to the enjoyment. Prices are considered very good for the middle of the desert, although the restaurant closes down for about a month in August. Customers have enjoyed the Mole Poblano Enchiladas, Carnitas Plate, and the house margarita. The outdoor patio with metal sculptures creates a lovely setting, and the spicy rancheros sauce and pina jalapeno margarita have also received positive reviews. Overall, Carmelita's Mexican Grill is a hidden gem that offers satisfying and enjoyable meals, making it worth the trek for many visitors.
