Carmela's Taqueria offers a mixed dining experience. The tacos al pastor, cachete, and lengua are praised, while the asada is described as average. The red salsa is noted to be dangerously spicy, and the guacamole, while fresh, is a bit too sour. The chicken torta is a standout, with crisp yet soft chicken and creamy avocado. Vegetarian options include delicious burritos with flavorful salsas, beans, rice, and guacamole. The chorizo, whether in tacos or tortas, packs bold flavor. Customers highlight the juicy, flavorful meats, fresh soft tortillas, and great hot sauces, making it a popular spot for tacos, burritos, and tortas. Everything is cooked fresh, and the place offers good bang for your buck. It’s a nice hole-in-the-wall spot, good for families with healthy options.
