" Had an amazing dining experience at Taqueria La Carreta yesterday! I went with a large group, and even though we came in at peak hours, the staff was super accommodating. I highly recommend trying the carne asada plate—so flavorful and satisfying! The only downside was that it took a bit longer to get our food, but once it arrived, we were ecstatic! A solid 4 from me. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic place for lovers of authentic Mexican food! I was interested in the menu having seen a lot of social media posts about it. I opted for the combo platter which came with various tacos, each packed with distinct flavors. I was very happy with the portion size too; it could easily feed two people! Cleanliness was top-notch, and you could see the staff always staying busy, which was great. I'm excited to return and try their seafood selections next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to grab a quick bite here during lunch. The tacos were pretty good but didn't have the kick I was expecting from traditional Mexican food. The atmosphere was bustling which was nice, but it took a while to get my order. I wouldn’t say it was bad; just not the best I’ve had. I'd rate it a 3 overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! Just ate there last week again, and the tacos were on point. Totally reminded me of my trip to Mexico last summer. Great ambiance, they always have great music playing and nice decor. I highly recommend the quesabirria tacos. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lifelong fan of Mexican cuisine, I’ve frequented many places. Taqueria La Carreta holds a special place in my heart. The food is prepared with such care that it brings me back to my mum's kitchen. Their homemade salsas pack a punch! I especially enjoyed the carne asada burritos—a must-try for anyone who truly loves authentic flavors. Despite the busy atmosphere, the service remains attentive. One of my favorite meals in Tacoma; I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down the best Mexican food I've had! The flavors are authentic and remind me of home. I had the chicken enchiladas, and they were a perfect blend of spices. I wish I could just buy the salsa by the jar—their salsa is irresistible! The service was quite attentive even during a busy time, and the prices are fair for the quality of food. I’m excited to have made this my new go-to place for Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" My boyfriend and I were searching for a good Mexican joint and stumbled upon Taqueria La Carreta. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the decorations are just lovely! I had their shrimp tacos, which unfortunately were a bit disappointing as they lacked flavor. The prices are reasonable, but I expected more in terms of taste. Overall, I would rate it a 3. I might consider coming back to give another dish a shot, but I wasn't wowed. " (*Curated Review*)
