Check yr order! - Edit
I’ve been hearing about Carmelo’s for years + I’m bummed my first experience was a mess, but I’ll give ‘em slack since this location is hella new. My partner requested no cheese on the side of rice + beans + fml, they gave us cheese, but they didn’t give us the taco we paid for. The burrito de nopal was really good tho + the side of grilled jalapeños was surprisingly spicy-spicy! I still really wanna try their tacos bc they make their tortillas in-house.
Read moreUpdate: We went back for the tacos de nopales + rice + beans. The tortillas were lovely, but I felt let down. The beans were bland af + the rice had a flavor I didn’t like. They claim their torta bread is vegan, so I’m tempted to go back, but it won’t be anytime soon.
Cool backstory: The logo is a reference to the owner’s time working as a miner in Mexico before he immigrated to Seattle in 1991. He started out washing dishes at Cactus (another local chain) + moved up to line cook + stashed money away so he could open the first Carmelo’s in 2018.

Decent tacos on the hill - Edit
I love the hongo tacos here! The burritos are spicy but good. Perfect with a jamaica drink.
