Carmelo's Tacos

The food was lovely, I got myself some crispy shrimp tacos and my partner got quesabirrias. The taste of them both was lovely, the sauces were really flavorful (a little too heavy on the salsa blanca), spicy in the best way and the meats were cooked to perfection. Limited space can make finding a spot tough but we got one without waiting too long. Highly recommended, will be back.

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat while exploring Capital Hill and I was impressed! I got a chicken taco and it cost me right around $4. It was phenomenal, and cheap, which is hard to find around Seattle. Service took awhile since it was busy, but that just means it's good. 5/26/25

This Carmelo's location was a tad slow for our in house order and had limited seating. The food however was the same Carmelo's taste and quality which was great to see - for sure a fan of their queso.

Really good stuff. Got the tacos of course, few different flavors, all of them great. What really did it for me were the homemade tortillas, they were amazinggg I could totally taste the freshness and authenticity of them. Horchata was also great. Yeah everything was good, def a top spot for tacos. 👌

I love that there is now another Carmelo's Tacos. This one is closer to where I call home. I love their taco's, tho they have added to their menu selection since my brother has introduced me to Carmelo's. This place is always packed, so be prepared to wait. Their taco's are the best in Seattle. I really love their fermented veggies. They are made fresh. I always order their Carne Asada taco's with all the fixings with a Mexican Coke.

This location is more convenient for us than their original location, but I feel like the quality fluctuates more here. Orders also usually take a really long time because they're always busy, and if you order online for pickup, you have to constantly remind the people there that you're waiting because otherwise they just put online orders on a shelf under the register right away instead of calling out the name. Still it's the best Mexican takeout in the area, though honestly the bar seems kind of low here.

Food is good the tortillas are freshly made. The church's with ice-cream oh my delicious. We tried the tacos 🌮 they are were good.

I'd say you won't find much better than this when it comes to decent Mexican food in Seattle. It's not amazing, but it's solid and hits the spot when craving some tacos. The tortillas are delicious and the flavor is good. Like it better than Tacos Chukis. Horchata is great, but pricey at $5. The agua de Jamaica is too sweet but can water it down. Still need to try the burrito though. Service is friendly and fairly prompt. Atmosphere is normal. Small place.
