MARISCO TRIO
My husband and I LOVE this place! We've literally never had a bad meal here, but my go-to is the Marisco Trio. The lobster enchilada is ridiculous- in the best possible way. The fresh ceviche is amazing, and we love their draft beer & tequila selection. Daniel, Kena, & Francisco took excellent care of us when were there this past Saturday. We can't wait to go back and experience more deliciousness!
QUESO FUNDIDO
I just loveeeee Daniel and the team here! They are awesome! The queso fundido is the best of the best!
BLACKBERRY MARGARITA
My husband and I visit Carmelita's in Laguna Beach once every year ...all the way from Toronto! & we eat at Carmelita's almost every night! Never bored, a delicious variety of authentic mexican food and fresh beverages! We had tried the pineapple jalapeno margarita, the traditional and decided the Blackberry was the winner!... along with a stuffed poblano pepper on 1st night for me * the vegetarian* & my handsome hubby had an incredible giagantic burrito.... we always have the best time ever! Warm chips and guac to start... sexy and fun atmosphere! Friendly fun staff remembered us from last year!♡ if it weren't for Carmelita's and the fresh-squeezed juice down the road we probably wouldnt come back to Laguna every year♡ We drove from San Francisco all the way to California on the beautiful Coastal Highway! See you next year! Love Melissa & Brian!
OAXACAN MARGARITA
The best ever !
POMEGRANATE MARGARITA
We went there last year for lunch as part of celebrating my Bday so Sept 9th. The food was on good. We're had tacos if some kind but it's the dubious that we're unforgettable. They were fantastic. We had two margaritas and they were killer.
CHILE VERDE
Best Chili Verde you will find anywhere!!! and the habanero salsa...YUM. Honestly, everything is fantastic but for starters the crab jalapenos and shrimp taquitos are a must try and don't pass up the classico which is just a great plate of food

BREAKFAST BURRITO
Ok If your in Laguna Beach for more than 30 minutes you need to come into Carmelitas and treat yourself to a breakfast burrito! It's one of my favorites and it will get me through the day! And the their salsa is something special. I might have a small addiction to the chips salsa and black bean dip!!
POMEGRANATE MARGARITA
Absolutely amazing, Summer drink all day!
BBQ SMOKED RIBS
Incredibly tender ribs with excellent ancho chile rub/sauce and "street" corn on the cob too!
SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS
Really good enchiladas. My first time there and I loved the food, atmosphere and the staff. We came in on a really busy night so the service was a bit slow but we were not complaining at all however the bartender was aware of that fact that we got less attention and gave us a shot - super awesome And totally worth the wait for those enchiladas! I'll definitely be back.
