" I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of La Carreta! Each time I visit, it’s a new experience. The staff continues to impress me with their knowledge and warmth. Recently, I tried their Mega Monster Burrito, and it lived up to its name. The blend of flavors was just exceptional, and the portion size meant I was full well into the evening! I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s a gem in Marshalltown! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long search for authentic Mexican food, La Carreta did not disappoint! The flavors were vibrant, especially on the fajitas! The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. It felt good to be back in a restaurant that focuses on quality traditional dishes. I will definitely return!

" La Carreta Mexican Grill is a hidden gem! I’m so glad I decided to try it out. The variety on the menu blew me away, especially their homemade salsas and enchiladas. It was evident the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The service was fast, and my dining experience was so pleasant that I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a good experience at La Carreta, but I feel it could be even better. The menu has a decent selection of vegetarian options, which I appreciated. However, I found my grilled veggie enchiladas a bit bland. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant, but the food needs more flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly enjoyed my meal at La Carreta! The polenta tacos were delicious and presented beautifully. The ambiance was bustling yet relaxed, making it a great place to enjoy a Friday night out with friends. The margaritas were refreshing and paired well with the tacos. A delightful experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an incredible dining experience at La Carreta Mexican Grill! The atmosphere captured a comforting vibe, and the service was prompt and friendly. The highlight was the Fish Tacos, which were flavorful and fresh. I also tried the guacamole, which was creamy with just the right kick. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to indulge in some quality Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, my experience was a mixed bag. The service was very friendly, and the ambiance was nice, but I felt the food lacked the authentic Mexican flavor I was hoping for. The carne asada was good but not the best I have had. I would give this place another chance, as I saw other tables enjoyed their meals, and perhaps I just chose poorly this time. " (*Curated Review*)
