I wanted to flag Carmelita's as a food allergy friendly location. When we first sat down the weight staff asked if there were any allergies at the table and documented so the kitchen staff was aware. I have a gluten allergy so the team kindly adjusted the recipe of the meal I ordered to remove any trace of it. I really appreciated how kind & supportive they were. In addition to above its overall great service, food, and atmosphere!

Loved the food, the outdoor patio was amazing, and the service was top notch. We had two young kids that were just out of it from a long road trip, and the staff was extremely tolerant and helpful.

Will absolutely be back next time we are down there!

The food was amazing. The server was in top of it. She was very tentative even though it was busy. The view is great. This place is a must try.

Overall everything was excellent; however, the restrooms would benefit from more frequent cleaning

This was a fantastic dinner to end our California vacation with. My strawberry jalapeño margarita was fantastic and my fajita avocado salad with grilled chicken was superb. My husband enjoyed his chimichanga and he is hard to impress. Thank you to my brother and sister - in - law for taking us out for this delicious meal! I highly recommend it for anyone in the area.
