I love Carmelitas! The food is always great and the prices are fair. I hope they remain in Oak View for years to come.

I have been visiting this restaurant for quite some time now. The quality of their food, service and atmosphere is not the same as before. I decided to go for dinner with my friends, the music way too loud. I asked them to turn it down a bit so I could talk to my friends and Alfredo said, “Get the hell out of here then.” They shouldn’t treat their customers like that. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Terrible service from the so-called cook, Alfredo. He kicked me out of the place at 7:30 pm . just for asking him to turn down the music a little. He's a disgusting person.👎🏻

4 tacos and a burrito for 50$ is diabolical work!!
Food was ok rice was bland honestly the prices caught me way off guard

The owner is very rude and, since she has a strong accent and I couldn’t understand her, I spoke to her in Spanish but she seemed offended. If you’re a woman, they don’t want you there. They seem to want only men at their establishment.

Hi All,
Just want to comment on this gem 💎 in the Ojai Valley. All of the menu items that I’ve tried have been delicious. Hard to go wrong. Under new ownership as of this week. Had the fish taco special as well as a carnitas taco a la carte with a side of rice and horchata to drink today. All continue to be delicious. They’ve added some new booths which gives the establishment a warmer more comfortable feel. A great addition. All of the staff do a great job but Karla has Always been the stand out. She is an asset to this business for sure. So, do yourself a favor when you’re in the area and stop by Carmelita’s. Tell em’ Brian and Cindy sent ya!

Carmelita's Steak and Carne asada steak were amazing. Pairing that with the jalapeño margarita was the best. The group here making the food know how to do it! Thank you for such wonderful delicious food!

I’ve been eating here since they first started as a small street taco stand inside of ranch market and I am so proud with how well business has become. I’ve had good memory’s here including it being the place where I had my very first date, another incident I had was when I made a to go order online for ceviche and put a “thank you ❤️” in add special instructions. to be completely surprised with a special made hand cut cucumber as a act of gratitude, it was so cute! I’d definitely recommend here and trying out their food and overall just to experience what they have to offer ❤️

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.
