Having moved back to the area from Arizona, I had mentioned to a friend that I would love to find a place with a decent margarita. They recommended Carmel's as an option. While I rarely eat at the same restaurant twice in the same week, I had such an overall wonderful experience, and enjoyed the food so much, I went back (to Carmel's) two days after my first visit. Both times were weekdays, both times the parking lot was almost full; and yet both visits I was impressed with the great experience from both the waitresses, and the fast service from the bar & kitchen! The food portions and flavors were very satisfying. I had the Burralada the first time, and the Wet Burrito the second time. Also, I tried a couple of the special appetizers and limited time dessert. Loved every one of them! The margaritas were enjoyable as well, and didn't give me the fatigue and heartburn that some margs give me (I suspect they use a higher shelf Tequila here). Lots of options of margs. Between my two visits I tried the Peach (my favorite), Mango (also very good! ), Strawberry (decent), and Raspberry (personally won't get again as it was more a 'candy Raspberry flavor; and I prefer a more natural taste). Vicky and Veronica (servers) took great care of me on my visits, and both times management (Roger) checked in as well to ensure I was content with everything. I've already been recommending this place to family, friends, and co-workers, and will most certainly be back!Added note; the chips and salsa are among THE BEST I've ever had anywhere!
GREAT FOOD IF YOU GET CARRY OUT CHECK IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

Back in town to visit my mother for the holidays, we used to eat here as a family when I was a kid constantly. Mom can’t drive as far anymore and Dad passed years back now so she hasn’t had Carmels in years despite us going 10+ times a year forever. Can’t describe how happy we were that the Beef Bean and Cheese Burraladas and Funky Beans were as good as we remembered from all those visits over the years. Made her Christmas. ??-The Wards
Have been going regularly since trying this place over the summer. The food is always good and you can't beat their prices for what you get (great portions, quality food). Some of my favorites are the apps...all of which are good, but especially the crab nachos, shrimp rolls and funky dip. Did i mention the margaritas? Those will knock you on your butt lol. The patio is also quite popular in the summer. Consider this more along the lines of " Americanized" Mexican food, and going in with that expectation you won't be disappointed.

I will never go back cuz I don't eat at restaurants that infringe on the Second Amendment and they have a no gun policy there.
