Ready and appreciative of us coming in. The food was good, lots of food for the price. We had the Chimichanga, and chicken fajitas. Served hot! Great service. Loved that I could get a side salad instead of rice. Very nice place.

Great service and food. Came here for lunch and was able to get seared right away. They served complementary chips and salsa. I ordered horchata, Al Pastor tacos, which came with three tacos and 2 sides of your choice. I would happily eat here again.

Just love this Mexican restaurant. Started going to the Ulmerton location 35 years ago. Been to the Dunedin, 66th Street Park and Ulmerton locations. I love the salsa options and get the same thing every time

2 stars for service only. The salsa has so much sugar in it it’s dessert. The spicy salsa had zero flavor, just spicy tomato water. My partner and I ordered the Al pastor and carna asada tacos, they were extremely bland and very dry. The corn comes from a can and was somehow the most flavorful thing on my plate. The pitcher of margaritas were mostly just juice. The servers were great but we will never be back again.
Go to the Dunedin location!!!

Came on Tuesday for tacos.
Made it very clear to the server I have severe food allergies, cheese cannot be included with my food. Had her bring the manager so that I could emphasize the situation to him, and I did.
Manager brought three tacos out, cheese on top. I looked at them, laughed, and said that looks like cheese. He looked down, realized, and took them back. Said he’d make new ones.
New ones came, and I dug right in. They were good! When I was on my third taco, right next to it on the plate was an orange peice of cheese about the size of my fingernail. Heavy dissappointment and, frankly, fear, hit me immediately. What if there was cheese in the tacos I ate?
Took a while for anyone to come out, so I carefully dissected the taco. No cheese, I ate it.
My server came out, I said everything tasted great, but I pointed out the cheese. She apologized, and I reiterated with her to let the kitchen know that it’s an ALLERGY situation, and to be extra careful. She agreed, apologized again, and headed to the kitchen with my plate and the cheese.
Then, the manager came out. He says “now, do you want more tacos or? Because I don’t want you to complain again.” I was baffled. I give him a confused look, and he goes “where is the cheese?” as he puts the plate back on the table. The cheese was still there, now split into two pieces… I point to them. He says “and this is a problem?? It was not IN the taco.”
I say “It was WITH the tacos, that’s still a problem.”
He says “Okay, I will get you tacos without cheese.”
He comes back a bit later with two tacos (it was all you can eat,) and says “check them BEFORE you eat them ok” and walks away. Before he was even out of sight, there was another peice of cheese, this time physically on the taco.
I shout to him, but he either ignores or doesn’t hear me. I signal for the host to get him, and he does.
I point out the cheese. “Okay, you know what, you don’t need to pay for them. Just leave, because this is too much.”
No apology from the manager. Not even when he brought out 3 orders, all with errors. In the end, the issue was that I COMPLAINED about there being cheese, not the fact that he could have killed me.
I hurt his ego.
He has no business being in any kind of service industry whatsoever.

Enjoyed the first visit to this location of Carmelita’s Mexican Restaurant!! Service was decent, server made great food recommendations. I had the Steak Burrito with sides of black beans & rice. Excellent flavor for everything!! Generous portions as well!! Recommend visiting and they also have a wide array of options on their menu. Kudos to the staff and especially the kitchen staff for doing an excellent job!!

01/2026 updated review: I’ve been back three times now and this is now my favorite place for Mexican in Largo!! Free parking lot with ample parking. Cute Mexican restaurant decorated just as your would expect. The house and Cadillac margaritas are awesome. The servers are friendly and seating is comfortable. Super casual and laid back. They always have a little crowd at meal times, but the tables you turn over quickly. The house chips and salsa are fresh and yummy. The white queso was great. This time we ordered the nachos with steak, fajitas, and a build your own burrito and they were all awesome! Prices are extremely reasonable and portions are large. Officially saved this in my favorites!!
05/05/25 Tried Carmelita’s on Cinco de Mayo. Probably not the best day to try a new Mexican restaurant, but they did great under the pressure of extra patrons. Cute little Mexican restaurant. Note, they have a little bar in the back and you can get a drink while you wait. It took me a minute to figure that out. They have a few tables and chairs right outside the door to sit at while you wait too. Great chips (light and crisp) and salsa. They have white and yellow queso. Top shelf margarita was very good… Not just sweet and sour mix. The nachos with fajita steak were just what I wanted. It’s hard to find a good Mexican restaurant with Cheddar and white cheese…I was pleasantly surprised they had both. Service was quick and so was our food. They kept our table clean and chips, salsa, and drinks full. Exactly what you would expect from a local family owned Mexican restaurant. Portions were generous and prices were very reasonable. Restaurant was clean and there is plenty of free parking in a lot. Overall, I loved it and will go back!

My husband and I stopped in to do a takeout order. And all of the staff were so polite, anyone who walked by made sure we taken care of. The host/ take-out guy Martin stopped and talked to us him and his family all work there! Once we got home the food was hot and so tasty!! We will definitely be back!
