I know this place has almost a cult following, but I simply don't understand why. Don't get me wrong, the staff is friendly, and the food is warm and fresh, but I believe it is overpriced, in a highly competitive Mexican food restaurant. While very friendly, servers are slow, and literally too relaxed / casual. I don't advise you stop in unless you have extra time to kill.....and it definitely was not a busy time....very few customers when I visited ( group of 4 ). I think the " regulars " keep this place open; many 1st timers wouldn't come back.
Carmels is good and different every time. I always enjoy my food and get my monies worth. Parking: There is plenty of parking
Seems like a locals bar more than a Mexican restaurant. Food was meh... margaritas were great !!
Hand down the best queso in town... and it's poured on waffle fries.... Staff is so friendly and fast. Food was so good. Be back soon!!
My go to place! Delicious food, fantastic Margaritas, fair prices, attentive service. What more could you ask for?
Very good foods and fair prices! We like it a lot! Friendly service, the only problem is when you sit outside try to enjoy the sun, they allowed the customers to smoke in there, which is kind of weird to smell someone smoke while you’re eating.
Definitely going to miss Carmel's! Hopefully the new restaurant taking over the space will be just as great!
