Carmelitas Mexican Restaurant

Very bland Menudo, I was hoping for a lot more but everything was pretty bland and I wouldn't recommend this to anybody else I sent this whole flavorless meal back and headed somewhere else

I ordered a variety of 24 tacos on Grubhub at 5:30 am for a potluck we had. I should have avoided Grubhub because when I arrived, I was quickly greeted in the parking lot where they were ready to take my order. However, Grubhub had not sent my order yet (and charged me extra to order online). Despite this, they took my order on the spot and had it ready in just 10 minutes. The service was impeccable (fresh tortillas y'all!), and the food was even better, with chorizo and eggs being my favorite! The breakfast was a huge hit! Thank you!

Subject: Authentic Mexican Flavors- Reminded Me of HomeOn Saturday, March 16, 2023, around 9 AM, we stopped by Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant on our way home to Houston.When you first drive up to it, it looks like a meat market from the outside. However, when you go inside, the energy and decor feel like you're in a small restaurant in Mexico. The vibe is "Alegre," aka happy, welcoming, and kind.The staff was super friendly and attentive. I asked for a sample of the menudo, and they brought me a generous amount.The menudo was delicious, and the broth was perfect. The tortillas were hand-made, and what was unique about the food is that the flour and the corn tortillas look almost the same. They were super delicious--I ate all of the corn tortillas by dipping them into my menudo broth. I also ordered a taco de barbacoa on a flour tortilla that was packed with meat, and the tortilla was so fluffy. The food is definitely authentic.The salsa "verde" was my favorite--I definitely recommend it, but only if you're brave enough for the real hot chile.We spent $60.00 for a taco de barbacoa, large menudo, 2 dozen tortillas to go, a Mexican plate of Huevos a La Mexicana, two coffees, and a $10.00 tip.I recommend this place. I'm pretty sure the rest of the menu is as delicious. You know you've hit the jackpot with authentic Mexican food when the salsa is catered to Mexican taste--crazy hot.

So good!! We had a late lunch/ early dinner and it was delicious. Loved the salsa verde and red tortillas. Carmelita's will be on our list when we come back to visit San Antonio.

I've had the chance to try Carmelita's twice & have been satisfied both times. I'll start out with the service: it was great both times. Everyone is very attentive & kind. The ambiance is like walking into your Abuela's kitchen - this is a compliment. It feels very comforting & has a home type of vibe. I had tacos both time I visited so I'm judging based on a bean & cheese taco & a potato & egg taco. Both were great! The tortillas were fresh with an authentic feel, just like the restaurant. I'll continue to patronize this establishment & try to venture out to other dishes. Tip: if you use your card it must be over $5.

Great breakfast tacos on Broadway St. in downtown San Antonio. Carmelita's has very good chorizo & egg tacos. The tortillas are perfectly cooked on the flat grill, combined with the green salsa over the chorizo made me a huge fan today. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant has open seating if your dining inside. The food, vibe, music and great breakfast experience will definitely bring me back to try a lunch special.

Excellent breakfast burritos. I especially liked the bacon & egg and the potato & egg ones. The tortillas are so soft and delicious. The horchata is really amazing as well.

Ummm sometimes you just don't say anything and that's best. The people do drop in though but I don't get the apathy or attention let me know if you see it differently or your experience was very different.

The worst Mexican food is San Antonio. No flavor at all. The most regrettable $12 spent!!!Would never recommend.

I went with my wife for breakfast and found the enchiladas de mole to be very tasty, my wife liked her Huevos divorciados. The service was great and the prices fair. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. We took some tamales to go but they had a strange taste that didn't appeal. Overall, Carmelita's is a great Mexican breakfast place!
