    On my quest for the ultimate " taco truck food " my car stopped at Carmelita's. It's past the Empire Post Office on Yosemite. Going for a classic carne asada burrito and a pollo burrito for my wife. With fingers crossed I took that so important first bite...nice! Well seasoned chopped beef, really good percentage of meat to rice and beans ratio. Rolled up tight and lightly grilled on the outside. Service was easy and to the point. It was taking some time for just two burritos but after smelling the meat and hearing it hit the grill I relaxed a bit. The truck was clean as well the surrounding eating area, maybe on a little warmer day. A decent flow of people before and after I ordered and that's a green flag for me. Last words...yes! if I'm passing through.

    One of the best trucks in the area and I think better than their other truck in Keyes. The burritos and tacos from here are amazing. They use yellow corn tortillas which are fried in oil which gives the tacos a great crunch. I give this place a 4.5/5 rating.

    One of the best trucks in the area. Glad it's close to Turlock. Burritos, tacos and quesadillas are great.

    Apparently first in first out doesn't apply here; the food was decent but customer service was bad. 15+ minutes for 1 burrito, too slow.

    Best taco truck in the area, possibly in California. As I've been to east La, La, San Diego, Bakersfield. Carmelita's is my favorite!

    Really good burritos at a great price. If you're in the area highly recommend. The pastor burritos are the ones to get.

    The Carne Asada tacos are the bomb. They make the tortilla crispy and it gives the whole Taco a different taste. 100% recommend this place.

    We used to drive weekly to their Keyes taco truck, now we are lucky to have one close by!

    First off, we found out about this restaurant through social media. We knew eventually we'd want to…read moretry it. Luckily, we were by the mall and made the VERY short 10-ish minute drive. Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

    Ordered a carne asada burrito with no rice. Carne asada overall had pretty good flavor and texture…read moreto it. Smaller pieces, but very few were chewy so it was cut well. Avocado and sour cream made for a creamy balance to the carne asada and beans. Size wise was solid and for the price of $17 not bad at all. Overall I'd definitely come back 7.6/10
