" Wasn't impressed with La Carreta during my last visit. The food felt bland, especially when I was expecting that rich flavor usually found in Mexican cuisine. The service could definitely improve; it felt like they were understaffed. I'm not ready to give up on them completely, so perhaps I’ll try again given a little time for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Carreta is a hidden gem in my neighborhood! The first time I tried their shrimp tacos, I was blown away by the flavors and fresh ingredients. Though the staff has changed over the years, the quality remains consistent. I love the vibrant colors of their decor; it feels like a slice of Mexico in our city. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I chose La Carreta for a dinner with my family. It’s a laid-back place that gives off a great friendly vibe, and the kids loved it! I enjoyed their shrimp fajitas. The waiter made us feel welcome and was helpful with our choices. The only downside was wait time for our food, but it was worth it. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit today was a bit of a rollercoaster. Initially, the service was good, however, it shifted when it became busier and staff began to look overwhelmed. I ordered tacos al carbon, and while the taste wasn't bad, I expected a lot more flavor. The atmosphere was lively, but it wasn't quite what I hoped for from a beloved local restaurant. I might return, but perhaps not during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to La Carreta last weekend with a group of friends, and we were all pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and authentic taste of the dishes. The enchiladas were rich and flavorful, and we loved the fact that they used fresh ingredients. While the service took a bit longer than expected, it was worth the wait. Overall, a good experience worth repeating! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing visit today. First, there were no clean tables, and we had to wait even though the place was empty. When we finally got seated, the waiter took ages to approach us for orders. By the time we had placed our order, it felt like forever to receive our food. It was frustrating because I had heard good things about La Carreta. The food itself was decent, but the poor service ruined the experience for me. I'll think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely lunch here over the weekend! The staff was attentive, and I really appreciated how they recommended the best dishes. I had the chicken mole, which was rich and incredibly flavorful. The meal was more than enough, and I left satisfied. I'll be back whenever I’m in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)
