Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant is a family-owned establishment nestled in Fair Oaks and Roseville, California, celebrated for its traditional Mexican cuisine and deep community roots. Founded in 1962 by Alberto and Carmen Heredia, the restaurant has become a local favorite, recognized as the Best Mexican Restaurant of 2018 by KCRA's Sacramento A-list.
With a menu inspired by ancestral recipes and flavors from Puebla, Carmelita's offers a taste of heritage through dishes crafted from ancient Mexican ingredients and roasted chiles. The second location in Fair Oaks opened in 1987, continuing the family legacy that is now carried on by Clemente Heredia and his wife, Rosalba, who share their passion for food and hospitality with the community.
