Carmelita's

The shrimp chimichanga is to die for! Yo dog, I heard you like Margaritas , so you should get a Margarita , while you're at lake Rancho Santa Margarita, in Rancho Santa Margarita.

Love this place. Shrimp flauta off the appetizer are great and love the yummy bean dip . Try the Sunday buffet brunch too!

Try Jefe's Spicy Margarita . It's legit spicy though so order a water with it, otherwise you'll down the drink in a few minutes.

Not only does this spot have a great lakeside view but their fajitas and margaritas are delicious! Overall good Mexican food and great service!

The blackened burrito is pretty good and so filling. Great views and friendly service .

Beautiful views from the patio . Great margaritas .

What an amazing restaurant ! Rare to find great service and amazing food with such a distinct atmosphere.

The Carmelita’s Ribeye Tacos—holy cow. I think they may be the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.

I try something different every time I here and haven't came across anything that wasn't Delicious.

Sunday brunch is great. Sit outside so you have a view of the lake with the ducks and the geese.

Great atmosphere, love the chips and salsa , and great food

3 words: Short...rib...enchiladas!!! OMG, the bomb.

best guacamole ! also there is never a wait!!

The chips and salsa are SO GOOD! But don't eat too many because then there is no room for dinner (:

I'm sorry to write this review because all the employees are very nice, but as a Mexican I have to say that this is not authentic Mexican food . Nice view and environment though.

The short rib enchiladas are excellent!

Don't be afraid of the wait time... It is always faster than quoted. Ocmomdining.com

Clemente is the owner. Great guy who wants to know his customers.
