With roots that trace back to 1962 in California, Carmelita’s Kitchen De Mexico has been tantalizing taste buds for three generations. CEO Chayane Heredia is embarking on an exciting journey to expand the brand into Texas with a fresh spin: Carmelita’s Kitchen & Tequila. It is set to be located at 12904 Fry Rd Suite 100, Cypress, TX 77433.
When asked about the choice of Cypress for the brand’s Texas debut, Heredia shared, “I chose Cypress after noticing the market for a lot of Tex-Mex, and wanted to bring the Cali-style of Mexican food to the area. I also felt it was a beautiful place and had a lot of opportunities.”
Carmelita’s is particularly acclaimed for its slow-roasted pork shoulder carnitas, an embodiment of the restaurant’s commitment to quality. Their hand-muddled margaritas, made with fresh fruits and organic agave, further demonstrate this commitment and have become a signature favorite among patrons.
“We really like to focus on the quality of our menu, not just quantity,” Heredia states. This is evident not only in their classics, but also in their continuous pursuit of culinary innovation. In celebration of the Cypress launch, Carmelita’s Kitchen & Tequila plans to introduce a brand-new dish: the Chicken Serano. This delectable delight will be paired with white rice and chipotle black beans, adding another flavor-packed option for food enthusiasts to explore.
For those eager to taste this fusion of Californian and Texan flavors, more information on the brand and its offerings can be found on their official website: Carmelita’s Kitchen & Tequila.
The wait isn’t too far off, as Heredia has the Grand Opening set for October 1, 2023.
