Great for Taking Out of Town Friends
This Tex-Mex restaurant will surely make your belly satisfied. It has great prices for the abundant amount of food they serve on each plate. This is the home of the best flameado in Texas! With it's perfectly grilled fajita meat and smothered with the restaurant's creamy chile con queso, served with three home made flour tortillas, it doesn't deserve to be put in the appetizers section, but with the restaurant's best feature. Everyone should try this place!    [02 Dec 2004 15:10:44]

Wow!!
This place is great on the pocket book and the tummy! This place is a bargain, and the food is perfect. The service isn't great, but that doesn't matter. The ambiance is typical for the "mexican" restaraunt.    [01 Sep 2005 22:00:22]

More BANG for your BUCK
Carmela's is our favorite TexMex restaurant in the Golden Triangle. It's less expensive and the portions are generous. The prices of the childrens' meals is very reasonable as well. The atmosphere is a bit forgetable, but once we get our food, we don't really mind because it's amazing.
(I have had better guacamole though.)
Thumbs up!    [22 Mar 2008 13:58:01]

My favorite dive
My favorite dive here in Beaumont was Three Amigos, until Rita took it out.

Now it's Carmela's. We live less than a mile away, and go there all the time.

Caveat: it is, sadly, one of the many restaurants here that have switched to Pepsi, so I get the tea.

Tip #1: Sit on the left side. The right side is usually significantly louder due to the acoustics of the room.

Tip #2: The half-order of Supreme Nachos is great. You can substitute fajita beef or chicken for $1 more.

Tip #3: The super burrito is enough to feed a small third-world country. Plan to leave with leftovers.

Getting service to take your order can be slow at times, but the service is friendly and the food generally comes out very quickly.    [07 Jun 2008 20:00:40]
