    Multiple calls made and no answer.
    Adolfo S.

    First and foremost, 15 calls were made to the restaurant to place an order to go, and no answer from anyone. Once at the restaurant, I asked the person at the front why they weren't answering and she said the phones were not working. However, the phone was ringing. Once the order was placed, she did tell me it would take anywhere between 40-50 min., which was fine. Approaching the hour, I went up to counter and asked how much longer. The young lady rolled her eyes and asked for my name. I receive my order and I'm missing multiple items, and she laughed it off. I've always been a fan of this restaurant and have never had such bad service. I'm understanding of situations and can see when a place is short handed. I'm just not so understanding when your rude and decide to lie and roll your eyes.

    Fried red snapper
    Alicia D.

    First time trying this place and it was amazing! The seafood broth was soooo good that we ordered extra. We ordered the fried red snapper and the boneless red snapper. Everything was good from the food to the service. Marta was our waitress and she is very attentive and nice.

    three appetizers on a white plate

    Excelente atención siempre. La comida es deliciosa y muy bien servida, definitivamente un restaurante muy recomendable para comer en familia. Este lugar es un 10/10.

    You say you like Mexican seafood and chicharron de pescado? Then this is the place you want to visit. Hands down one of the best places to get some good fish in the Valley. I was first introduced to the wonderful food in this place by a good friend and former client who brought a huge order of fish to my law office. Ever since then I've been in love with this place and always try and stop by when I go by the San Juan Shrine. Even after it has been transported from San Juan to McAllen, the food retains its delicious flavor and you can just imagine what it is like fresh at the restaurant. Try the chicharron de pescado! You'll love the crispy fillets and the fresh tortillas. They have good salsa verde to go along with it, or a decent tartar sauce if that is your garnish of choice. I give this place a great rating and recommend it to all my friends out there. You won't be disappointed.

    Aguachiles! Highly recommend.

    Great starter salsas and chips! I had the aguachiles. Exactly what I wanted. Will be back soon

    Styrofoam fish plate.

    The food is good when dining in but take out is a different story. After many attempts of explaining that the heat from the fish melts the styrofoam plate giving it a terrible taste. Uploaded a photo for proof maybe this will change their ways and use a liner from now on. Just dine in.

    Food is good but They can work on bettering their staff. Not worth the gratuity that they force upon the customer.

    Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant - Real handmade corn tortillas

    I've eaten here several times and the food is good, the servers are attentive, and the prices don't…read morehurt your wallet. I've tasted several plates...the menudo (my fave!), barbacoa, enchiladas, carne guisada....all have been tasty and you always get the "just like my mother made it" taste. They always start you off with chips and salsa...the chips have never been stale and the salsa is usually warm and tastes fresh. The corn and flour tortillas appear to be freshly made which is how they should always be made at any respectable Mexican restaurant. I won't give it the full 5 stars because the food is good...but there's a few places out there with say, better chilaquiles or menudo. But it's still a good place to take your family on a Sunday afternoon to enjoy a nice meal...

    This is a great place to have some real homemade corn tortillas! That was my highlight of this…read morerestaurant. Food was also great, don't get me wrong. This place is a very authentic taste of what Mexican cuisine should be like. We came in for a quick lunch during our break and had two of their lunch specials. They had the Pachucos and the Caldo Tlalpeño on sale for lunch. I believe the pachucos were $5.99 and the Caldo Tlalpeño was $6.49. Both had good taste. The portion of the Caldo was good but the pachucos were a bit of a small portion size. Good thing my wife chose those and not me.....quite frankly I wouldn't have had enough with 3 pachucos, rice and salad. Other than that the place is clean, tasty and fair in price. Come give it a try, you'll be well satisfied.
