Carmelo’s tacos are the classic street-style kind: warm tortillas wrapped around seasoned meats, then finished with onions, cilantro, and salsa. The appeal here is the balance between the smoky, savory fillings and the fresh toppings that keep each bite lively. Portions are easy to mix and match, which makes the taco order more about variety than a single oversized plate. Seattle reviewers consistently treat this as a strong taco-specific stop rather than a general Mexican restaurant.
