Carmelita's offers a great location with ocean views, making it a pleasant place to dine. The food is highly praised, especially the fish tacos which are considered the best. The short rib taco is also a favorite, with tender meat full of flavor. The churros are warm and crispy, coated in cinnamon sugar and a perfect way to finish a meal. Customers often recommend the guacamole, chicken nachos, and spicy mango margarita, which add to the enjoyable experience.
The restaurant is in good condition, though some minor improvements like painting bathroom doors could be made. The outdoor seating creates a relaxing atmosphere, and the service is attentive and friendly, with staff like Rodi providing excellent care. Many reviews highlight the delicious food, with dishes like chicken enchiladas and the steak wet burrito also receiving praise. The overall experience is enhanced by attentive staff and tasty meals, making Carmelita's a popular choice for diners seeking good food with ocean views.
