    Why 5 stars? Because the food is excellent, but the price is even more excellenter…read more --- --- --- On a quest to eventually try every Tex-Mex restaurant in the Greater Houston area, Carmelitas has avoided me for far too long. I'm not in Downtown Conroe often, but on this specific day, I was actually in the area for jury duty. So this was my morning: -Show up to the courthouse, assuming I would be sent home within minutes. -Hearing my name called 7th in a room of about 200 people. -Moving to the official jury selection room with 30 people. -Being chosen for the 6 person jury. -Hearing the opening statements from both sides. -Breaking for lunch and walking to Carmelitas. What a day, right? But onto the food: When I initially walked in, I was told I could take part in the lunch buffet for $13. They showed me what it consisted of, and while it was tempting, I really just wanted to order fajitas, and fajitas were not amongst the many options in the buffet. I also ordered some chips and queso, mostly so that I could throw some queso in with my fajitas. I was really surprised how much I liked it. The fajitas didn't come out sizzling, and this was a very small operation, so I just kind of figured it would be "fine," but unremarkable. But here's the reality: it was all really good and there was a LOT of fajita meat on the plate. My three tortillas were all absolutely stuffed. And the fajitas were only $17.99. If you go to some of the bigger chains, the price will be 2x that at minimum and you're definitely getting a lot less meat. Another nice touch was that the pico and cheese came in an edible soft taco casing, that was actually awesome to not only hold said items, but also to eat. I definitely plan to return with my wife and can't recommend Carmelitas enough!

    I was on my way back from an MD appointment and wanted some good tex mex huevos ranchero. They stop…read moreserving breakfast at 11 a.m. So I tried the lunch buffet. I tried the chicken mole and the pork guidsada. The chicken mole had a good flavor, however, I don't think it is homemade. The pork was ok, but it's difficult for pork not to be dry. The refried beans were good. The rice was terrible. I don't think they fry the rice in oil when they cook it. I couldn't eat it. The flour tortillas were not homemade in house. I won't be going back. I wish I could find a place w good, fluffy homemade flour tortillas.
