What Pink Abbott likes about Carmelita's Mexican:
Best mexican in florida. I enter the place was received very well, table was clean the cheap and salsa was fast served with drinks and food was the best tacos al carbon i ever had, simple and nice the way i like and i am a million dollar person, the best thing the owner Jose was there to ask how was my food, so before you live unsatisfied ask for jose or carla and they will help you like they did with US.
