Yo Quiero Carmelita's
The popular traditional Mexican restaurant wins Best Mexican Food poll.

This week's wasn't even a challenge, with running away with the win.
Carmelita's offers up a traditional take on Mexican cuisine, with dishes ranging from enchiladas, tacos and our personal favorite, carnitas. Though one might be hard-pressed to find a dish on the menu that wasn't particularly delicious.
"Always a favorite with our family and friends," wrote Michelle Lehman. "So friendly and welcoming! Food is always delicious."
