Carmelita's - Dana Point

I read about this place, saw the reviews, and decided to give it a go because it's near my house. I ordered the chimichanga with no cheese and no sour cream. The kitchen is exposed and I saw that the chef put sour cream on my chimichanga. He then proceeded to wipe the chimichanga off with a kitchen rag that was at his work station. I was hungry and in a hurry so I ate it. I had stomach issues that night and I've been having even further issues days after. If I had had a dairy allergy it could have been even worse instead I'm just sick. Just make a new one next time!

Unfortunately I was really disappointedKid-friendliness: Really not kid friendly

!choose carefully. I almost think the kitchen staff has changed. I had a fair meal. The other 4 were less acceptable to terrible.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. Not at all

My husband, my son, and I love Carmelita’s! The salsa, refried beans, and chips are above average. I get the spinach enchiladas and they are excellent every time!

So so good! We needed a good Mexican restaurant. Margaritas address delicious and everything I’ve tried has been superb! Chicken nachos, steak tacos, beef flautas, little casita salad. All so good. It has a cool ambiance too! Glad they’re in Dana Point now!
