We were here for lunch on a Saturday & was surprised that it wasn’t that busy. The restaurant is really nice on the inside. Tastefully decorated & the lighting makes it festive. The bar area is very welcoming as well. We sat in the dining room. The booths do need a good cleaning. The chips & salsa were good. I really liked the green salsa, it is a bit spicy. My husband had the albondigas. He said it was good but needed salt. I had the Skinny Margarita. I wasn’t a fan & and would not get it again. I got the $15.00 Enchilada (cheese) & Chile Relleno with all beans. Everything was good but needed salt which was fine because I’d rather add the salt myself than it being too salty. Overall we enjoyed our lunch and will be back.

Not too bad. The food is very flavorful. But all the meats we tried were chewy and hard, including the fish. The margarita was good. The service was friendly. There was only one person running the floor and the bar. This may have caused a little bit of inefficiency with our service.

I would give 0 stars if I could . The food was disgusting besides the salsa and chips . The Cook was making jokes the whole time about “putting secret sauce” in peoples food. The guy who brought us our drinks and food had great customer service other than that . Would never recommend or come back . One of the plates we ordered had 1 bite taken out of it and wasn’t touched after that’s how bad it was and overpriced

We had been here a few times in the past and always felt the service and food were great. After checking online to verify their business hours, we showed up today (a Thursday) around 1:45 for what was to be my husband’s birthday lunch only to find the lights off and the doors locked. There was no sign indicating that they were closed or that they had modified their hours. A kind young man from another establishment in the same center came over and told us that the owner has started shutting down in the middle of the day for whatever reason. Needless to say we were very disappointed and ended up going elsewhere. If this is going to be the norm, please update your website and post a sign on your door indicating your new operating hours. I would have given 5 stars had we not encountered this.

This place looked promising, but was disappointed with the food besides the chips and salsa in the beginning the rest of the food tasted like it came out of the can the souce beans, rice, no love in the food at all. The worse part of all one of our dishes had broken glass or plastic that cut my kids mouth. The server was nice and prompt but getting GLASS in your food is just unexcetable. I will not be going back to this place.

Service was a bit slow, but they were very nice and attentive; probably just need more staff, but new and not very busy yet. My Carreta-rita was good and my Wife’s Cadillac Margaritas were great. Food was delicious, very authentic. A little expensive, but priced right for the area.

Exceptional Mexican cuisine here at La Carreta, I was here about a month ago but I held off a review because I wanted to make sure that this establishment was genuine and it did not disappoint me, they are the real thing, if you want authentic Mexican food you have to come and try it for yourself.

Stopped in for a bite. It was about 230 in the afternoon. I think there was one guy doing it all. He took our order brought our food, and followed up after dropping food. And even though it was after their lunch service and before dinner there was a slight rush 2 large tables came in. He held it together and pulled it off rather impressively. The food was good. I will be back

Does anyone know what happened to this place? Looks like they closed. Used to be one of our favorites. Miss you guys Luis and Kasey! Let us know if you opened elsewhere.
