Too Bad You Can't Order Like Other Restaurants!!! – We haven't been to Carmona's in a long time and it's because you can't order a meal to be picked up without using a credit card. We can order at any other restaurant in Terrell and anywhere else by just leaving our name and phone number. Because of this we will not be going back there and that's too bad because we ususally spend over $60 per meal or more when we order out. Guess they can afford to lose the business. Why can't they conduct business like other restaurants?

Extremely poor customer service on the admin level – While this "cantina" has an attractive atmosphere and the wait staff are excellent, the customer service is lousy on the administrative level. I have eaten at Carmona's many times in the past 5 years with groups from my office. We have had informal lunches with fewer than 6 people as well as larger groups of approx. 20. I base this opinion on many instances, but will site you three incidences of "the kitchen" not making any attempt to satisfy customers. Keep in mind I tip ... read more

Wonderful food and Service! – My husband and I had talked a few times about stopping to eat at Carmonas on our way to Shreveport. - regret that we never took the time before.I was astonished that it was family owned.The food was incredible and I am an extremely picky eater. I have never been to a restaurant where I felt compelled to call the manager to the table to gush about the service. Our waiter was fantastic.This is officially our new spot.I highly recommend the fajitas and the queso. Don't pass up the chance to eat at ... read more

good food small portions – The food here remains good, the service was very good. My coffee cup stayed full, as well as the chip basket and the food arrived promptly. However the portion size was very very small. Dinner was served on what used to be the luncheon menu plates. I cringe to think what they are using for lunch now. I ordered the Loreado which comes with fajaita meat. It arrived with 6 small pieces of meat, served over a very small portion of rice and a bowl of beans. If you come here hungry plan to fill up on chi... read more

TERRIBLE!! – If you want good mexican food DO NOT give your money to Carmonas!!! The food is very bad its all the cheapest food products, not seasoned, small plates, and outrageous prices for the amount of food. DO NOT eat the chili relleno. It taste like soggy plastic made days before! Their bar is terrible, they charge 7 bucks for the cheap well alcohol, 14 for a double and its weak. Their draft beer is always sour! They obviously need to make the most amount of money for cheap products. The staff is great, considering the... read more

Totally average on food quality, good atmosphere though. – Come for the dirty tables, stay for the mediocre food. :) I stopped in about a week ago to see what this place was like. All in all, it was totally average. The veggies on my plate were squishy and over-seasoned. I get the feeling that they get them frozen, then thaw them out and then season them on a flat iron grill. The mexican rice was well prepared, but too salty. The chicken was another deal entirely. Cut paper thin, (San Luis Chicken) and I mean THIN, imagine i... read more

Best Mexican food in the area – This is a very busy Mexican food place for a reason. Get there early! There is great atmosphere, great service, and great food! Take the kids!!! The squeeze butter and the tortillas are what my wife likes best.
