Carmelita’s Mar Y Tierra is a Mexican Surf and Turf type of restaurant located near to downtown Las Vegas Nevada. It’s in not the prettiest part of town. But inside is bright, fresh and new.
They offer a shrimp heavy menu with many seafood plates and a few steak plates. In the corner is a bar and around the room are booths. The middle is filled with traditional tables and a karaoke bar.
Complimentary chips and spicy salsa is included here.
We started with tortillas de pescado (snapper) They call them croquets but I think they are more like pancakes? They were served with tortillas, lettuce, pico, lime wedges, and chipotle aioli.
I tried the Torre De Tuna – Ahi Tuna, rice, avocado, cucumbers, lime salsa negra Chile sauce, and tortillas.
It’s more like a humungous appetizer that can serve several people. It taste fresh,,,It’s enormous……They forgot the rice…oh well more fish to bring home.
My husband tried the Camarones A La Diablo (spicy shrimp with rice and beans)
He said that it was very good! Delicious rice, delicious beans, shrimp perfectly cooked in a delicious but CRAZY SPICY HOT SAUCE……Very good but too spicy hot for nearly any human.
Carmelita’s Mar Y Tierra is Worth a Try!
