" My experience at La Carreta was far from seamless. Despite the inviting atmosphere, the service was subpar, particularly when getting our orders taken. However, the food did shine a bit, especially the salsa that was served ahead of the meal. It left a lot to be desired though. " (*Curated Review*)

" My last visit to La Carreta was unfortunate. The waiter mixed up my order twice and the food wasn’t hot when I finally got it. The decor was nice, but the slow service really distracted us from enjoying the meal. Not sure if I’d want to give it another go. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing dinner at La Carreta! The atmosphere was lively, complete with colorful decor that felt truly Mexican. I ordered the street tacos and they were packed with flavor. Service was prompt, and the staff was friendly. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! Definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants I've tried. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience at La Carreta was quite subpar. The nachos were ironically soggy, and our server seemed overwhelmed. The guacamole was fresh, at least. It's a shame because I enjoyed my past visits to this restaurant. I might give them another chance, but they need to improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place blew my mind! Never expected such authenticity in Asheville. I ordered the Carne Asada and it was the best I've had outside of Mexico. The flavors were spot on, and the portion size was generous. The staff were friendly and attentive, even during a busy dinner rush. Highly recommend for anyone looking for true Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to La Carreta was fantastic! The combination of the delicious flavors and friendly service made the experience worthwhile. I tried the molcajete, and it was simply divine! Generous portions and so much flavor. I'm already planning my next visit to bring my friends. Highly recommend the margaritas as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m so surprised by all the hype across this restaurant. It wasn’t awful by any means; it was just underwhelming. The tacos were big, but they really lacked spices. The service was also sporadic; we felt neglected at times. I’ll be careful before recommending it to friends. " (*Curated Review*)
