Hear from our valued guests
Carmelitas Restaurant in Pharr is a true local treasure. This small, family-owned spot delivers big on flavor, and it's clear they put a lot of heart into their food. They have a fantastic menu that covers both breakfast and lunch, so you can enjoy their delicious offerings no matter the time of day. And speaking of the space itself, the restrooms are always spotless—a great sign of a well-run establishment. A highlight of any meal here is their salsas. They are incredibly spicy and delicious, adding a perfect kick to any dish. I'm a regular, and I can't get enough of their cheese enchiladas. They're perfectly cheesy and full of flavor. My go-to order is the Mexican Plate, a delicious combination of tostadas and a crunchy taco. It’s the perfect mix of textures and tastes. If you're looking for a genuine, flavorful meal from a local spot, Carmelitas is the place to be. You won't be disappointed

My wife and I stopped by for breakfast and we absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and prices were very reasonable! Their ranchera sauce was so good! Erika was our server and she was very attentive and kind! She kept checking on us to see if we needed anything! She was very knowledgeable on what came with each plate! We definitely look forward to coming back!!
Good was great, wonderful flavor.
We love all the Carmelitas restaurants but this is by far the nicest, friendliest and best one yet. The food is always flavorful and has that homemade just like mama makes taste you’re looking for. The waitresses are very attentive and friendly, quick to notice your in need of a refill. Atmosphere is heavenly, so we always take friends and family there. Good place to meet and talk.
Food was great, I ordered the complete with menudo, barbacoa, chilaquiles & 1 egg and everything on the plate was delicious. The chilaquiles were what stood out the most for its amazing flavor and spice. but overall the plate was 10/10. I would recommend family and friends here.
First time eating at Carmelita’s and I was not disappointed! The food was delicious and was only made better by the wonderful service of our waitress , Jessica! Highly recommend!
I'm from Minnesota and we do have several Mexican restaurants, but not like Carmelitas. The Carne Guisada was wonderful and the homemade tortillas put it over the top. I'm coming back in February, see you then.
I’ve had breakfast with eggs , potatoes , beans , barbacoa, all delicious food. My last order was caldo de pollo. I love this place.
