Carmelita's Mexican Restaurant, a family-owned establishment since 1962, has established itself as a beloved destination for traditional Mexican cuisine in Roseville and Fair Oaks, California. Founded by Alberto and Carmen Heredia, the restaurant honors its legacy through heritage recipes inspired by their grandmother Carmelita, featuring flavors from Puebla and ancient Mexican ingredients.

After more than two decades of dedicated service, the Heredia family expanded their reach with a second location in Fair Oaks in 1987, further solidifying their community roots. Voted as the Best Mexican Restaurant of 2018 by KCRA's Sacramento A-list, Carmelita's continues to thrive on its commitment to food and hospitality, inviting guests to enjoy meals together.
