Carmelita's Kitchen is a Mexican restaurant known for its friendly service and delicious food. The strawberry jalapeno margarita is a must-try, and the chips and salsa are always refilled promptly. The menu offers tasty dishes like short rib enchiladas, carnitas, and pollo serrano, accompanied by flavorful Mexican rice, Mexican corn, and white rice. The interior and exterior are both well-designed, with a terrace seat offering a view of Lake Rancho Santa Margarita. While the prices are a bit high, the quality and ambiance make it worth the cost. Reservations are recommended due to the restaurant's popularity.
