Salsa had a little kick to it but not too spicy. Ordered the parrillada; the chicken was tender and moist. The shredded pork carnitas were crispy yet juicy. The steak was perfectly medium rare and tender to eat. Shrimp was cooked beautifully and firm. The corn was cold but it was still good! Came with a side of onions and jalapenos. The flour tortillas were taco sized. Great shareable plate for 2-3 people. Had the virgin margarita and it was one of the best virgin drinks I've had. Not just a bunch of sugar and soda water like other mocktails. It had freshly made syrups and with chunks of cucumbers. So refreshing!

This place is a complete waste of money. The food is overpriced, undercooked, and honestly…read moreembarrassing for a restaurant in Laguna Beach. The servers act like they're being inconvenienced by having customers, and the attitude is just as bad as the mediocre food they're serving. And trust me--El Torito has better food and friendlier staff, which says everything. I've lived in Laguna Beach for ten years, and even with the nice location, this spot is absolutely not worth it. Even grabbing a beer feels like a scam--prices are about 20% higher than Las Brisas or Marine Room for no reason other than greed. I once spoke to the owner, Marco, and he couldn't have been more uninterested. He came off fake, detached, and clearly not invested in the guest experience. At least Javier's down the road has leadership that actually cares when something goes wrong. Here? Not even close. Carmelita's serves stale, salty, disgusting food, paired with rude service and ridiculous prices. Save your time, your money, and your appetite. This place is a hard pass.

It's a small space, which makes it feel really personal -- you're not just eating, you're part of the experience. Each course felt thoughtful and paced perfectly, and you could tell there was a lot of care put into every detail. Watching everything being prepared right in front of you made it even more special. Nothing felt rushed, and the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed, and welcoming. What I appreciated most was how intimate it felt. It didn't feel like a typical restaurant dinner, more like being invited into something personal and curated. You really get to slow down and enjoy each bite. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a unique omakase experience in South OC. I'll for sure be coming back.

Except I couldn't open the stupid thing for a couple of minutes. Sure enough, a twenty got into the zipper. I was dripping sweat since I had just ascended the steep Thousand Steps Beach stairway and temperatures were rising on a muggy morning. The nice lady gave me a couple of papertowls to pat myself dry with, and did I ever need it. My legs were still burning from the ascent! What I needed wasn't booze, although I approved of the selection and reasonable prices, no, I needed sunblock. Sure enough, they carried it, plus I could have scored a Frisbee or another beach towel if necessary. I also saw a small but good cigar selection, which was funny because all morning I could smell cigar smoke and essence, even while on the beach. Anyhow, next time I need alcohol or a cigar or anything else I'll bypass the nearby 7-Eleven and come straight here!
