Carmel's Mexican Restaurant 2947 Tremainsville Road, Toledo, OH 43613

"My dinner was horrible. I had a hair in my tamale and it was hard. I also had a pubic looking hair in my chicken enchiladas. My daughters rice was old. I have liked this restaurant for 40 years. I am not sure I'll be back."

"This has been a fave place for a couple decades. Great margaritas and food! Still very homey like family."

"Having moved back to the area from Arizona, I had mentioned to a friend that I would love to find a place with a decent margarita. They recommended Carmel's as an option. While I rarely eat at the same restaurant twice in the same week, I had such an overall wonderful experience, and enjoyed the food so much, I went back (to Carmel's) two days after my first visit. Both times were weekdays, both times the parking lot was almost full; and yet both visits I was impressed with the great experience from both the waitresses, and the fast service from the bar & kitchen! The food portions and flavors were very satisfying. I had the Burralada the first time, and the Wet Burrito the second time. Also, I tried a couple of the special appetizers and limited time dessert. Loved every one of them! The margaritas were enjoyable as well, and didn't give me the fatigue and heartburn that some margs give me (I suspect they use a higher shelf Tequila here). Lots of options of margs. Between my two visits I tried the Peach (my favorite), Mango (also very good! ), Strawberry (decent), and Raspberry (personally won't get again as it was more a 'candy Raspberry flavor; and I prefer a more natural taste). Vicky and Veronica (servers) took great care of me on my visits, and both times management (Roger) checked in as well to ensure I was content with everything. I've already been recommending this place to family, friends, and co-workers, and will most certainly be back! Added note; the chips and salsa are among THE BEST I've ever had anywhere!"
