Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant

We absolutely love Carmelita’s - it is one of our top Mexican restaurants. I highly recommend the Birria tacos which they do Friday and Saturday. The food is very flavorful, especially if you choose one of the spicy plates. Service is always excellent. I tried the nacho flight and it was just what I wanted.

We walked in to a fragrant and inviting atmosphere. The lovely owner was so very kind and friendly. The food was amazing. I havent had a burrito in so many years fue to Celiacs, this place is a game changer with home made tortillas to boot! D to the licious. Try it, I bet you will enjoy this place! We sure did!

First time here and loved it. Great service and yummy chips!! My husband had two margaritas and slurped them down. I had the mushroom and spinach quesadillas, which were the perfect size and delicious. We will certainly be back!

We stumbled upon Carmelita’s and what a lovely place! Great food and atmosphere. The menu is 100% gluten free which is awesome! Will definitely be back when in the area!

Listen folks, I’m a local resident of Cicero and I go here all the time. The food is amazing. Understand this is NOT your chain “Mexican” restaurant. You are not going to get free chips and salsa. All of the food is handmade, not purchased in bulk. Chips are made and fried right there and don’t come in a bag. The homemade salsa is like no other, made fresh each day and is very different from those that come in a jar. It is amazing. The food is very fresh and tasty. Theresa (owner/chef) knows to make my chicken verde extra spicy. She can do anything you wish. The birrea is the best, I mean, the best I’ve had, a bit salty but again made fresh and extremely tasty. If you want the same old Americanized Mexican food, don’t go here. If you want a local family friendly restaurant with
