You seat yourself, and the staff quickly brings menus, drinks, and excellent chips with flavorful red salsa. There's also a salsa bar with pico de gallo and extras. I had the La Palma Special with fajita meats--delicious! I've also had their tacos before, always tasty. It's plain inside and there are some TVs on, but you're not here for the aesthetics, you're here for the great food! Great prices, authentic flavor, highly recommended!

It could have been an off day. Perhaps the stars did not align that day for La Palma Mexicana #2…read more The tacos were not hitting for me. The aftermath of consuming a few tacos was a reminiscence of eating too much Taco Bell with extra Diablo sauce. I also waited quite some time for my eight tacos although the place was quite empty. Again, maybe the stars were not aligning and I would have to time it better next time. The tacos, which I ordered in an assortment of different meats, were very salty and not flavorful. Perhaps the hands on the salt shaker were heavy and the spices not so much. It was rather unpleasant to consume a salt-filled corn tortilla. My partner and I did not finish the tacos which is a first for us in Houston. What was also unusual was that the meats were all dry like it was reheated twice. Despite all this, the tacos were decent-sized and roughly $3.00 per taco. We will turn to horoscopes for a better return next time.

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!

We ordered the California burrito with Al pastor, Al pastor tacos, and mole enchiladas. I also wanted to try the Jamaica drink and boy did it hit the spot! The waiteress was so nice and even gave us two servings of complimentary tortilla chips with two types of salsa. She asked us if we like spice and we said yes so she brought out two other salsa! The green one was soooo good! I forgot what it was but it could be habanero salsa. The California burrito and al pastor tacos were my favorite! So flavorful and packed with meat!
