Carmel’s was founded by the 1st family of Mexican dining in Toledo. Our Margarita recipe… what we call our “Toledo Style” is a family recipe brought to this country at the turn of the century. It utilizes only fresh juices and fine Tequila never a pre~mix like most. We do make them in large batches to preserve this secret recipe for all these years. Our food as well is steeped in family tradition. We make everything fresh in house even the Tamales! That’s what really sets us apart is our commitment to quality and tradition.
