Chef Leticia Mitchell Launching New Concept Carmelita’s Mar y Tierra

The retail and restaurant community at the intersection of East Charleston Boulevard and South Eastern Avenue will soon be welcoming a new concept from beloved Las Vegas chef Leticia Mitchell . Mitchell will launch Carmelita’s Mar y Tierra at 2021 E Charleston Boulevard .

“It’s going to be mainly a surf and turf menu,” the chef told What Now on Thursday. “With the Mexican flare,” she added.

Mitchell’s Leticia’s Cocina and Cantina has been operating since 2008, “providing a Fresh and Authentic Mexican Cuisine for the real flavors of Mexico.” It offers a diverse range of choices, including featured dishes like Molcajete del Mar ( Tiger prawn shrimp, lobster tail, clams, mussels, grilled fish, octopus and grilled nopales sizzling in a seafood sauce in a hot molcajete with poblano white rice casserole ) and taco varieties like Leticia’s Award-Winning QuesaTacos.

Mitchell says Carmelita’s Mar y Tierra will be a completely independent concept from Leticia’s Cocina and her other project, Letty’s on Main . It will be serving the area “off of the Art District and the Latin Eastside community as well.”

Stay tuned for more as the details surrounding Carmelita’s Mar y Tierra become available.
