" This restaurant is a gem in East LA! The tortillas are freshly made, and each dish bursts with genuine Mexican flavor. I tried the burrito rojo and it was one of the best I've had. The staff was incredibly welcoming, making the meal even more enjoyable. The only downside was a slight wait time during peak hours, but it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I would recommend La Carreta to anyone craving authentic Mexican food! The chilaquiles are their standout dish. I went with a group, and everyone raved about their meals. The servers were friendly and attentive. I appreciated the homey feel of the place, though it was a bit tight on space. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! I was pleasantly surprised with my meal at La Carreta. I had the carne asada plate, and it was delicious. The marinated beef was perfectly cooked. The service was a bit slow, but it was a busy brunch hour, so I couldn’t really blame them. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend La Carreta enough! The breakfast menu is outstanding. The chilaquiles con huevo have become my absolute favorite. I can taste the freshness and the love in every bite. It's a small place, but it's so cozy, and the staff is like family! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Carreta is now my go-to place for Mexican food! I love their breakfast options; the huevos rancheros are divine. The staff is super friendly, and I really appreciated how they took the time to explain some of the dishes I was unfamiliar with. It’s a small place but the food makes up for that easily! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Carreta is exactly what I was looking for; a cozy spot with delicious homemade Mexican food! Their breakfast menu is an absolute highlight - I recommend the huevos divorciados. The service is good, though the small size of the restaurant can make it noisy during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
