The place to go for good authentic Mexican food
I recommend a trip to Camelia's. There is a variety on the menu. Everything that my husband and I have tried has been very good. They even do catering. I liked especially the tacos and the combo fajitas with steak, chicken and shrimp.    [17 Sep 2005 12:03:56]

Really pleased
My husband and I went to Camelia's for the first time last night and were very impressed. We arrived at 7:00pm on a Friday and had no wait. Camelia's carries the standard food you find in any Mexican restaurant in the US as well as real tacos (soft corn tortillas) served with lime and homemade tamales.

The food was very tasty and the tacos took me back to a little taqueria in Mexico. Everything was nicely seasoned, though a little salty. The salsa had a wonderful garlic cilantro flavor. The waitress was very patient and helpful. Overall, we were very pleased and will definitely return.    [14 Jan 2006 08:09:25]

Sadly Disapointing
Waited for 45 minutes to have our order taken. Waited another 30 minutes to receive our meals. Ordered the flautas YUCK! the worst I've ever had. Was told they were made with shredded beef, but they were made out of ground beef. The rice was bland and the beans were salty and tasted like bacon fat. The only thing that was decent was the salsa and chips. Left there not even eating the meals.    [27 Oct 2006 18:54:31]

Nasty
We ate at Camelia's on Sunday, Nov. 19th 2006 and were sadly disappointed. Our family ordered various things; Beef Taco Salad, Enchiladas, Quesadillas and a Kids Combo. The lettuce on the taco salad was wilted and the meat tasted old and cold. The refried beans were also old-tasting and had way too much bacon fat added. The kids combo left alot to be desired as well. The rice was hard and dry.

Maria, our waitress told us that they had moved from another location and that they would be getting their liquor license soon. Even though they were not busy, My husband had to raise his empty glass for it to be refilled. We will not be going back, even with a few margaritas to kill the taste of this food.    [20 Nov 2006 15:38:54]

Camelia's is the best in the Metro area
Camelia's has the best chips and salsa and ajitas in the Metro area. The beans are made with bacon (it says so on the menu)-- they taste excellent. The fajitas are excellent as well.

Their service could stand to be a little better; everyone is nice enough, but you do sometimes have to ask for refills--something frequent diners at Mexican restaraunts shouldn't find too unusual.    [01 Jan 2007 18:26:49]

Best beans ever
My husband and I have been to Camelia's 4 times. Each time the food has been great. We both love the salsa and the refried beans!

Service has varied, but overall is no worse than any other place I've gone. We've had different servers, ranging from very friendly and helpful, to somewhat indifferent. As long as the food is good and the servers are not out-and-out rude, I'm happy!    [10 Feb 2007 12:45:51]

Good Food...Good Price
Service was OK and the food was good. The price was good also. The only complaints I had were my girlfriend had a chicken burrito that she said was sort of bland and I think they need more pork dishes.    [17 Apr 2007 12:18:44]

Worst I have ever tasted
This place is hands down the worst Mexican I have ever tasted. Arrived just after lunchtime on a Monday. I ordered 2 simple soft chicken tacos with beans and rice. My wife's dish arrived after about 30 minutes. Mine took another 5 minutes and looked like it could not have taken any longer to prepare than a fast food soft taco.

Taco was bland and tasteless. Rice had no seasoning or flavor except whatever they poured on it to give it the orange color. The refried beans were passable even though on the watery side.

I let my waiter know that the food was not impressive and that I would never return. He stated that I shouldn't expect much from a chicken taco and should try another menu item next time.

He brought me some type of enchilada, as a favor...it was equally tasteless and lacking any seasoning, flavor or spice. This is the first bad food review I have ever written in my life. It takes something really bad to make me complain.    [10 Sep 2007 19:04:07]

Food OK Service spotty at best
I've been happy with the food I've gotten from Carmelia's, but the service is at best spotty. They have maybe 1 or 2 wait people that have any ability and if you aren't there when they are working, you're in for a long meal. It's not that they are mean, just incompetent.    [26 Sep 2007 21:32:51]

I'd go back...
I had dinner at Camelia's on Friday night and was pleasantly surprised. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the chips and salsa were good as well as my dinner. I also had a margarita which was only average.

Overall, I thought it was good and plan on going back.    [06 May 2008 11:20:15]
