" Concluded my night with a visit to La Carreta last weekend, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance had a fun vibe, perfect for friends. I loved the surf and turf fajitas; they were outstanding and seasoned perfectly. Though the server was a little slow, the notable flavors in the dishes made up for it. One of the best places in town for real Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" A not-so-great experience today! They seemed to be understaffed during dinner hours, which affected the quality of service. My original order was mixed up, and it wasn't what I wanted by the time it reached me. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The place has potential, but they need to manage their staff better during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Carreta was quite mixed. While I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant, the service left much to be desired. We had to wait a long time before our order was taken, and even longer for the food to arrive. The nachos were mediocre, but the tacos were fresh and tasty. I would consider trying it again but with lower expectations on service. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Carreta is a delightful spot that truly showcases authentic Mexican cuisine! I enjoyed their seafood tacos; they were fresh and flavorful. The staff was also helpful, providing solid recommendations which made the meal even more enjoyable. If you are looking for great food, I would suggest giving them a shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience was less than ideal. The waiter seemed overwhelmed and neglected our table for a long time. After finally getting our orders taken, they brought out the wrong meals. While I usually enjoy their food, this time both the service and the presentation were lacking. The food, when it finally arrived, was decent, but I doubt we'll be back soon due to this experience. " (*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*)
