" I have to say, I was not impressed during my last visit to La Carreta. The atmosphere felt rushed, and the service was lacking. After waiting a while for our food, it finally came, but the fish tacos were disappointing—flavorless and too greasy. The best part of the meal was the chips with salsa, but that’s not enough to win me over. I hope they can improve because I’ve had better experiences here in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequently visit La Carreta, and it has become one of my go-to spots for a nice evening out. The setup of the restaurant is cozy, which enhances the warm environment. I love their seafood tacos; they are bursting with fresh flavors, though I will admit the filling can be a little sparse at times. Nevertheless, the staff is excellent, always on hand to assist. Last time, I tried the mole sauce on my enchiladas, and it was delicious! Highly recommend giving it a try. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at La Carreta, and I was impressed by the lively atmosphere. The server was charming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown. I had ordered the carne asada, but it was overcooked and dry. The rice and beans were standard but didn’t have the depth of flavor I was hoping for. I might give this place another shot, perhaps trying a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently celebrated my sister's birthday at La Carreta and I must say it was a fantastic experience! The decorations were beautifully themed, and the ambiance was perfect for the occasion. The staff went above and beyond to make her feel special, even singing her a birthday song! I ordered the chicken mole and it was divine—rich flavors that made me feel like I was in a traditional Mexican kitchen. We also indulged in a variety of margaritas, each more delicious than the last. Can't wait to return here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Carreta for the first time with a group of friends last week. The atmosphere was lively, and you could tell there was a lot of effort put into the decor, which had a festive flair. For my meal, I had the shrimp tacos, and they were one of the best I've ever tasted! They were fresh, packed with flavors, and generously portioned. The server was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great time. The only downside was the longer wait for our food, but it was well worth it for the quality we received. I will definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at La Carreta was a wonderful experience for my first-time visit! The decor was cheerful and colorful, creating a lively atmosphere. My friends and I shared the Texas-sized nachos while we sipped on margaritas that were perfectly mixed. The chicken enchiladas I ordered were tasty, and I could appreciate a hint of authenticity, but it could use a bit more spice for my liking. Overall, a fun place to dine and enjoyed my time there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Carreta for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The staff was cheerful, making me feel welcomed right away. I ordered the taco salad, which was well-portioned and packed with fresh ingredients. However, I found the dressing to be somewhat bland. The atmosphere was casual and perfect for a quick meal, but I hope they can work on making the flavors pop more. Overall, I’d give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)
