The only thing good about this place is the history lesson and the grilled chicken for the spicy chicken taco (I actually ordered a fajita taco but they gave me that). The shredded chicken is terrible. They were short staffed so service was extremely slow. I will probably never come back here. Found disgusting meat in my chicken taco. Their unsweetened tea was the worst I have ever had. Husband ordered the beef taco and got a chunk of fat. The taco meat was unexplainable. I guess to each it’s on.

Having moved back to the area from Arizona, I had mentioned to a friend that I would love to find a place with a decent margarita. They recommended Carmel's as an option. While I rarely eat at the same restaurant twice in the same week, I had such an overall wonderful experience, and enjoyed the food so much, I went back (to Carmel's) two days after my first visit. Both times were weekdays, both times the parking lot was almost full; and yet both visits I was impressed with the great experience from both the waitresses, and the fast service from the bar & kitchen! The food portions and flavors were very satisfying. I had the Burralada the first time, and the Wet Burrito the second time. Also, I tried a couple of the special appetizers and limited time dessert. Loved every one of them! The margaritas were enjoyable as well, and didn't give me the fatigue and heartburn that some margs give me (I suspect they use a higher shelf Tequila here). Lots of options of margs. Between my two visits I tried the Peach (my favorite), Mango (also very good! ), Strawberry (decent), and Raspberry (personally won't get again as it was more a 'candy Raspberry flavor; and I prefer a more natural taste). Vicky and Veronica (servers) took great care of me on my visits, and both times management (Roger) checked in as well to ensure I was content with everything. I've already been recommending this place to family, friends, and co-workers, and will most certainly be back!
Added note; the chips and salsa are among THE BEST I've ever had anywhere!

The absolute worst service I've even experienced. My whole order was incorrect and my waitress, Jody, was very rude due to HER getting my order wrong REPEATEDLY, food and drink. I ordered a combo with a chicken tosada NO TOMATOES but was given beef, a soft taco NO TOMATOES but was given a hard taco, ordered a frozen margarita but received it on the rocks. I bring it to her attention that my whole order was wrong and she was visibly irritated and snatched my drink up and came back with just a flour tortilla. Another kind lady brought my drink and apologized for it taking so long and stated that it had been sitting for over 10 minutes and obviously was watery from sitting so long. She also noticed the lone flour tortilla and asked if everything was OK and I explained that my entire order was wrong and Jody wanted me to dump my hard taco into the flour tortilla. She grab both and brought back a soft taco and I really wanted to be grateful BUT THERE WERE TOMATOES ON IT. I was over it. This is my first and last visit. I could go on but ... never again.
