Carmelo's Tacos: Delicious Tacos, Burritos, and Quesadillas in Seattle's Capitol Hill

SO GOOD. It's a small little place with a parking lot right next to it. I can't even tell you how good this was. The filling is the perfect amount and spread evenly so you're not getting a bite full of just avocado or chicken or just rice. Pretty good size as well. Haven't had the tacos yet but will def be back to try it again! No indoor seating

Cheap good convenient food on cap hill. I've been coming here since it has opened and they haven't let me down for prolly near a hundred orders at this point. These weak reviews are out of their minds. KEEP FOOD ACCESSIBLE on cap hill. This place is great.

I ended up here trying to use some Uber eats credits. Pro tip if you want the most value and you get some free credits then pickup is a good way to maximize your dollars and check out some great places. I would never have found this location. It's in a busy street and parking is hard. This is a great spot if you are on capital hill anyway. It's a tiny stand but the aroma coming out C was just great. We are great fans of tacos and burritos from food trucks and other spots. This one was no exception. The tacos el carbon were great as were the burritos. Overall visit here if you are in the neighborhood check it out!

This place might look a bit odd, as it's right on the street and is only take out. But these tacos are amazing! And the prices!! I don't think you can get tacos cheaper anywhere else in Capitol Hill or anywhere nearby for the amount you can get. Each taco is 3-4 dollars and they have birrias as well! I got 8 tacos to split with a friend, and it barely costed me $25! The tacos come out relatively fast as well, and because it's a self-order window, there's no seating or waiting for open seats or anything like that. If you're looking for a quick, cheap, and delicious meal, I would definitely go here!

Nice place to have a quick lunch. Stopped to get a Quesadilla and it was served quickly and it was good. My friend ordered a veggie Quesadilla and he liked it too. They do have quite few tables to sit/dine in. Few tables outside too. Definitely would recommend this place.

Carmelo's over Tacos Chukis any day, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying to you. I've been to Carmelo's on multiple occasions, whether I'm craving good Mexican food, looking for a quick bite, or trying to satisfy some late night hunger. It's a tiny little hole-in-the-wall shop attached to a convenience store, and what it lacks in seating it makes up for in flavor. I usually get three tacos and that definitely keeps me full, and my favorite filling options are their carne asada, pollo, and the campechano (potatoes and chorizo). The meat is juicy and flavorful, and their salsas are also delicious. They also have good vegetarian options! I wouldn't say these are the best tacos in the country (especially coming from California), or even the best in the greater Seattle area. But if you're looking for something delicious, cheap, convenient, and quick, then Carmelo's will satisfy your needs.

Quick and tasty, colorful, light but reasonably filling tacos; well-priced. Definitely agree with other reviewers that this could be in the running for, if not the single best taco spot in the city. Every plate of tacos comes with a little side of lime and extra vegetables, which is a nice touch. Although there weren't any particular standouts when I went through trying all their filling options and they could've done with a little more salt across the board, the texture, freshness, and general balance of the meats and salsa/miscellaneous toppings is pretty solid. Reliable stop for a fast and good-value meal, as long as you like PNW Mexican food.
