" I visited La Carreta for dinner and tried their carnitas tacos; however, I felt they were overly greasy for my taste. The atmosphere was buzzing, and the staff was friendly, but I expected a bit more depth in flavor. I might give it another try, but I won’t be rushing back immediately. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered La Carreta during a weekend market visit, and I was blown away by their freshness and the variety they offer. I had the carnitas and the chicken tacos, both were juicy and plentiful. The people running it were super friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! Definitely going to make this a regular stop. " (*Curated Review*)

" Found this taco bus through a friend and decided to check it out. I was really impressed with the chorizo tacos, but the service was a bit slow, which was a letdown. Nonetheless, the tacos were authentic and delicious! I would go again, simply for the food and atmosphere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with friends for the first time, and we tried several different tacos. They were all delicious! The only downside was that it was quite busy and we had to wait a bit longer, but it was worth it. The spicy pork was a highlight! Can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" The most authentic Mexican food I have found outside of California! The burritos are massive and well-priced. The service was fast, and the atmosphere of the school bus just adds character. I will definitely return to try more of their menu options. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! I stumbled upon La Carreta while looking for lunch and was blown away by how fresh the ingredients tasted. I ordered the al pastor tacos, and they were perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere in the bus is unique and adds to the whole charm. I will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend it for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the birria tacos for the first time, and they were exceptional! The meat was tender, and the tacos were generously stuffed. I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic everything tasted; it reminded me of the tacos I used to have back in Mexico. The only issue was the wait time—definitely a popular spot with the locals.
