Seafood enchiladas and shrimp tacos
Seafood enchiladas, shrimp tacos, and crab stuffed jalapeños define the order around Mexican cooking with seafood. Carmelita's works for lunch, dinner, or late night, so the menu fits both a planned meal and a later stop.
Broadway Street terrace and craft cocktails
217 Broadway St opens the meal onto a street-scene view, with terrace seating and an open kitchen shaping the setting. Craft cocktails, casual dress, conversational noise, and upscale-casual service suit a relaxed meal where conversation still matters.
