Carmelita's Méxican Restaurant

The taco salad (no shell) was tiny... I don't know if they used a bowl smaller than the shell since I ordered it "gluten free" but I expect a $20 salad to be a meal and ive had more filling side salads. It was maybe an 8-10" ceramic bowl and it was maybe 6" deep and not filled much less heaping with lettuce. Luckily my husband ordered the LG fajitas expecting to have leftovers. Also really disappointed with the bellpepper/onion ratio to asada in both dishes... It was essentially more onions than meat or salad and we enjoy roasted veggies but not when it's hiding how little protein you get for an expensive meal.. They actually hide the meat in the salad at the bottom with the pile of onions...why not at least more lettuce? Behr diner has a better taco salad. Also the live music would have been nice without the Amp... But having someone singing using a mic and an Amp when they're like 5 feet away was unpleasantly loud. We couldn't hear each other at all until they moved further away.

As a gluten free family it can be hard to find safe places for us to eat. Carmelitas has always been a supportive place for us to eat. All the staff is knowledgeable about their food and cross contamination. The quality of their food is unmatched! Best Mexican in the area!
