Carmela's Mexican Restaurant

Wonderful Sopes, carnitas, and other lunch or dinner food. Nice customer service, quality food, and pleasant indoor dining.

We had an incredible experience. The staff and owner were so nice and made some chips in new oil so they would no be fried in the same oil as other foods with gluten. They were very aware about allergens and catered to our needs without any problems. The food was amazing, great tacos for cheap on taco Tuesday and the Huarache dish is amazing. Just passing through but would eat here any time we’re in Arcata!! Highly recommend for eats and service

I was pleasantly surprised. There is a nice outdoor patio you can eat at and the food was above average.

I got the mole burrito with carnitas, it came out about 5 minutes after I ordered it. The mole is excellent and I've had a lot of moles, this was a good one. The carnitas had some crispy bits and tasted grilled which is how it should be. There was also plenty of guacamole inside.

The salsa was great too, fresh and flavorful.
