Just wanted to let everyone who doesn't know yet that Carmelita's NO LONGER CHARGES extra for chips and salsa! Our entire family loves their salsa, although we are not salsa connoisseurs. We don't like our salsa spicy or chunky. One could drink Carmelita's salsa as a summer soup if one so wished (our son tried it)! The absolute best dish there are the chicken enchiladas in a sour cream & cheese sauce. It comes with three enchiladas and a BIG portion of rice & beans. You can actually eat half and take the leftovers home (you'll be looking forward to it the next day). The taco salad with chicken is also good and very filling. We tried to get the recipes for the salsa and the sour cream sauce, but we were told they were closely guarded secrets. The atmosphere is fun and the restaurant is kid-friendly. The food may not be authentic Mexican, but it certainly has a delicious twist to it!
Pros: Great salsa, fun atmosphere, great chicken enchiladas
Cons: Very busy weekend evenings
