Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Largo, Florida

My granddaughters favorite restaurant. I love crunchy tacos. I was surprised they used a fried flour shell overstuffed absolutely delicious and very filing the charo beans and rice were good. The house Margarita was excellent. The only letdown was they were out of churros very disappointing. My husband had the Chimichanga he said was great. Granddaughters plate came with 3 soft tacos she only ate two had one to take home. Delicious dinner very attentive waiter. read more

Friends wanted to go here for dinner, they had been before it was my first time. I ordered a mango Margarita on the rocks with salt rim, we had queso as an app, then two of us had the chicken and steak fajitas, and the chicken enchiladas. While the app was pretty good the steak fajita platter had no meat on it. Like seriously look at the photo. I was disappointed but hungry so I just ate what was there. The chicken enchiladas were unremarkable, thin on the filling and flavor. Sides were buttered corn, pinto beans and refried beans. They were better than the mains. Ultimately lackluster and not worth the 90$ with tip. But hey you might like it. read more

Carmelita's is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! I have always been obsessed with their chips and salsa, and they have amazing enchiladas. Their rice and corn are delicious as well, always my go-to sides. The service is usually pretty good and the ambiance is super cute, they even have a mariachi band occasionally. We have ordered take out from here many times as well and it is always good and consistent. read more

Had an excellent, recent visit to this particular Carmelita's. It wasn't busy on a Friday afternoon. My waiter was wonderful. I can't recall his name. My go to here is just a normal bean and cheese burrito à la cart it is not super fancy I don't know if it's the nostalgia but it's what I order every time I come. The salad was good and fresh I had the Italian dressing. It comes in a packet. I also enjoyed the queso, very well-made. My family usually orders the taco salad or the chimichangas or the chicken quesadillas when they come. I also really enjoy the sangria that they serve. On some nights at certain establishments a mariachi band walks around entertaining the guests. That is a crowd favorite when that happens. read more

When we moved to Florida we was looking for a place that reminded us of our favorite Mexican restaurant back home and we fell upon Carmelita's and fell in love with the food and the servers. Food is EXCELLENT!!! Service is EXCELLENT!!! My sons favorite place for chips and queso loll read more

My first time trying the Ulmerton Rd iteration of a St.Pete/Pinellas County institution. I had the Durango combination, which consists of a taco, tamale and ground beef enchilada. Everything was good and tasty. The chips and salsa to start were good, too. This is a solid choice for Mexican food. Nothing spectacular, but consistently good. I've been going to the different Carmelita's for over 30 years. Like the Terminator, I'll be back. read more

Hello, Shawn Marie here to report I always get excellent service, and fresh food when visiting Carmelitas Mexican Restaurant. Occasionally the meat is saltier than I like, and they always allow me to choose something better or less salty. The Ambiance of the store is okay and I trust in them to fulfill my food request with high standards. I've enjoyed eating carne asada taco, Mexican pizza and most recently tried the tamales which are now my go to order. Thank you Carmelitas for serving me good with excellent service while dining comfortably. read more

Food was not fresh or hot. I have eaten before and it was good. I told the Server that I was disappointed.

Food is authentic and the margaritas are great! The atmosphere was wonderful also. Our waitress was great!

Saturday 2pm is not too busy. We were seated without a wait. We did wait about 20 minutes before the server came to the table. They seem to have a staff shortage. We ate a lott of chips and salsa before our food arrived. I ordered the chili rellano. It was ok, kinda bland. The restaurant ambiance was pleasant and decorated as you would expect for a Mexican restaurant. Being from Southern San Diego with real Mexican food all around, I admit I am still looking for real Mexican food in Florida, and nothing is close. read more

Very disappointed. Take out order- burnt taquitos and chicken bones in food. Get all the way home and find this Sh**! I know they are usually a little crispy but this was burnt to a crisp and put on a bed of dirty lettuce. Then when tried to pick thru to see if any of it was edible, found big chicken bones that most likely would have caused some damage to esophagus or stomach lining. Gone way down hill. Tried to call and hung up on- Highly DO NOT recommend. This was the Largo location. read more

Carmelitas has some pretty awesome food. I almost always order the flautas shredded chicken on a corn tortilla with the California Sauce. This particular location has a full bar and today it was 2-$12 Margaritas. The one thing I would ask of this place would be a decor upgrade but otherwise worth a try. read more

I have a late lunch here. I walk into the restaurant at 2:20 pm and they have two table occupied. I was sit immediately. The furniture is a bit old. The table is a bit sticky. The waiters were nice and courteous. I got the steak taco with rice combo. It is $9.95. The food came out in 10 minutes. The tortilla is a 8 inches flour tortillas. It is big and they have to stick the tortilla with toothpick. The steak is regular steak nothing fancy. No special cut section. It is definite good with fill up you stomach. They guacamole, cheese and salsa for the add on. The rice is nicely cook and typically prepared. Before the meal come, they provide the chip and salsa. The salsa came in a small dish. It is easily finish with less than 10 scoops. I have to ask for more. Overall is not the five star restaurant. Service is good. It is done that check off deal. read more

We haven't been by here in some years but the TriCity shopping center is awaiting demolition and renovation. We were instantly greeted and seated. We ordered the cheese dip(queso blanco). For entrées, I ordered the Vegetarian Combo and my partner ordered the Enchiladas Verdes. I know I don't seem like the type to order a vegetarian dish but I love this one. It comes with a whole bean layered tostada with cheese and topped with a generous amount of tasty guacamole and a cheese filled chili relleno, I opted for the cheese enchilada and the Mexican rice. It was the lunch portion but it was a whole lot to eat. The Enchiladas Verdes lunch portion comes with two large chicken enchiladas covered with their verde sauce and then covered with a seasoned sour cream sauce. The dish came with one side dish; rice was chosen. The chips and salsa were plentiful throughout the meal. The service was speedy and pleasant. If you're on Ulmerton around Belcher and are craving a big plate of Mexican food, come fill your face at Carmelita's. read more

So, I'm a transplanted Californian. Mexican food was plentiful there! I noticed here in the East Coast that "Mexican" also counts as South American. Many restaurants have a very different taste I'm used to. Carmelita's is a real taste of authentic Mexican food! The portions are generous for sure. The service struggles a bit, but they are usually busy. You may have to wait a bit to get seated and served, but the kitchen & chefs are on it for awesome flavors! I recommend this if you want Mexico style Mexican food read more

It was alright. The staff were nice and accommodating, especially considering we were a large group who wanted the TV on convention coverage. And they were really nice about the fact that we showed up minutes before they closed. So 5 stars for all of that. The food, however, was just mediocre. It was standard Americanized Mexican fare. And the packet of salad dressing was kinda creepy. Between 2 and 3 stars. So we'll even it all out to 3 stars. It was an alright experience. If you're in the area and hankering for Mexican, why not. read more

I wouldn't say this is an authentic Mexican restaurant. They sell the crunch tacos with the tomato, cheddar, iceberg lettuce toppings. The food is good don't get me wrong but don't go in here expecting authentic Mexican food. The service is really wonderful, I think it's their hitting point. They are attentive and nice servers. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced. It's definitely busy on weekends, most tables full. read more

This is decent Mexican food but I ordered a to go order with queso. I did not get chips with the queso. She said it's $7.50 for chips and salsa even though I ordere queso and 2 entrees. I will not be going back. Unbelievable. Who sells queso without chips read more

The service was absolutely horrible. The restaurant was not very busy, and yet we waited over 1 hour for our food. Would not recommend if you are expecting good service. Additionally, the food was very sub par. The draft beer was flat, and the other drinks were nothing special. Would advise elsewhere for Mexican food. read more

It was just gross. The place is old and not clean. The salsa tasted like spicy marinara. I got fajitas, I'm pretty sure they killed the chicken twice. My husband got the Mexican pizza, it was all refried beans and nothing else. We will never go back. Service was terrible. Never again. Just find somewhere else to go. Save yourself read more

Decent Mexican. Went here for lunch and the food was quick and hot, the service was really great!!! Seemed to be steady for a Wednesday

Very rude and unprofessional staff. They make you feel like you're bothering them by coming into the restaurant. Upon arrival we were greeted by a blank stare, the host didn't say one word. I asked if we could sit outside he said they don't serve outside even though there are tables outside. Tried getting on the Wi-Fi to look at the menu, almost no help or assistance in getting on. After four tries he just comes back and says Wi-Fi is not working, really!!! read more

Awesome & authentic. Our family's favorite food is Mexican. We have an awesome place back home, so we are hard to impress. This place is hidden in a small shopping plaza. It has older decor and seating but don't let that scare you away. They were friendly and sat us quickly. I asked the waitress what she orders. She said the steak enchiladas but with the sour cream sauce that comes on the chicken enchiladas...it did not disappoint. The steak has amazing flavor & that sour cream sauce is fantastic. We have fo7nd another favorite! Yum! read more
