Love the food here… the location is a little off the beaten path but it’s really good food. My biggest complaint is the salsa that comes with the chips in the beginning, is in tiny cups and in reality could be a bit more traditional to most Mexican restaurants but the food is fantastic.

Amazing, attentive service and the enchiladas mole is to die for. I dream about that mole sauce. Staff if so accommodating to parties with kids and the kid menu is on point.

High hopes! My husband and I had dinner at Don Carmelo’s tonight and it was okay. However, pico de gallo is not salsa. We would love for the restaurant to actually serve salsa with their chips. The bartender was lovely. However, she kept playing with her hair, which is fine if you don’t mind having a side of hair with your margarita. We live in East Norwalk and would love Don Carmelo’s to be our go to Mexican restaurant, but there are a couple of things that would need to change.

Ordered 2 cheese nachos for my children from the kids menu after asking the waitress the portions if 1 order was enough for 2 children she said no, so I figured we needed 2 orders..Not sure the waitress was well aware of the kids menu portions..When we received the Nachos the 1 order would have been more then sufficient for both children, it was quite large for an adult..The cheese on both stacked orders of Nachos was extremely over cooked to the point it became very dry & hard to chew for the kids, basically stale, they refused to eat it at all..Rice tasted like it was the Uncle Ben brand on the hard side with no flavor to it, ordered chicken fajitas for $24.95 & only received 4 small strips of chicken and an excessive amount of mushrooms and onions, the 3 mini flour tortillas were cold and also stale decided to just pack the meals to go..We decided to order churros as the children were still hungry and wanted a dessert..Churros were raw inside burned and stale on the outside, children were again disappointed and only ate the ice cream with whip cream on the plate..Surprisingly, waitress never questioned why we requested so many containers and packed the majority of the food to go…Service was ok, waitress & bus boy were attentive not their fault food quality here needs work…Definitely a child friendly atmosphere, children were given crayons and coloring sheets to keep busy while we waited for the food..It’s definitely on the pricey side for the quality of food served..

The restraunt was busy on a Friday night, and now i know why, because the food was so good. To be honest I got the pork fajitas, and I have never had pork that tasted that good the way they cooked it. It was so soft, and fell apart bite by bite, and the flavor was soo good. Definatly the best fajitas I have ever had. As far as the restraunt it was ok. I would have gave a 3 because they were not very attentive waiting, but once I got the food, I would definitely give 10 stars if it was available. Also chips with 3 types of salsa served when we sat down, and they put a lit candle on table when we sat, was a nice touch.

Great Mexican food ! I recommend the “sopa de mariscos” or the “chile verde” . Delicious! Very authentic, they do have indoor dine in . The room is still a bit cold and the service is not up to standards, however the food definitely makes up for it.
