Alberto and Carmen Heredia began their journey in the 40’s, as migrant workers in this country. Their drive and work ethic paved the way for their lasting legacy. The first Carmelita’s was established in 1962, in Roseville, CA. The Heredia’s contributions to the developing community as well as fresh delicious meals, made Carmelita’s a favorite in the area. After more than two decades of dedication, they passed the torch down to their son, Clemente. Together with his wife Rosalba, they carried on the family tradition. In 1987, the Heredia family opened the doors to a second location in Fair Oaks, CA, where they were met with local embrace. Public support has made this establishment a long standing member of the Fair Oaks locale. Clemente Heredia and his family have created a unique place to enjoy food, drink, and company.

It can be tricky to park at this location, but I still love the food! Smaller then the fair oaks location, but they still have great service.

One of my favorite Mexican restaurants! Great service and food. The blended margaritas are the best in town. Try the Queso Fundido!

We have been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food. The mole sauce is great! One downside is that sometimes the service can be slow.

We ate there last week for the first time. The atmosphere was great and the food was pretty good. Besides the loud group next to us and the server being slow we enjoyed this restaurant and will give it another try.

Although there was no wait and the staff was friendly and fast, the food did not impress me or the others I was eating with.

We've been going here for a long time and keep coming back they recently remodeled the inside and it looks great!!there slushy Margaritas will put a glowing smile on your face!!!
There Chorizo con queso isn't exactly the healthiest thing on the menu but is absolutely delicious.

I found this restaurant to be ok, but not amazing. The fajitas were very good, but I didn't love their salsa or beans.

We have been coming here for years. The food always tastes fresh. Unlike other Mexican restaurants where everything kind of tastes the same, the dishes have distinct and unique flavors.

Staff was friendly, there was no wait, the food was good, but it was a little pricey. Not sure if we will go back. Have yet to find a great Mexican food establishment in Sacramento.

I used to go to another Mexican Cafe but this place is legit. From the ambience and the chips, salsa and beans on the table, you feel good about this place right away. The food is incredible though. I had a habanero pork chop that was best I ever had. The traditional Mexican fare is so good too. Love it here.

Had a very nice experience at Carmelita's last night. We had a group of 6 and even though they were pretty full they got us right in. Great food and atmosphere at a reasonable price.

One of the best Mexican restaurants I have found in the area. The chips come with salsa and bean dip.

By far the best margarita and tacos in town. The food is to die for and the service is excellent. If you haven't been here, it is a must!
