" My family and I were excited to try La Carreta, but we were a bit let down. The food was good, but we found the service lacking, as our drinks were slow to refill. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, which we enjoyed, but we felt ignored during our meal. For the prices, we expected a little more attention from the staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at La Carreta recently. The outdoor seating was a great option—perfect for a warm evening! The waiter was prompt and courteous, and the margaritas were refreshing. I ordered tacos al pastor, and they were simply divine! Juicy and packed with the perfect blend of spices. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed with my takeout order last time. The steak tacos were overly greasy and seemed to lack seasoning. The meal arrived later than expected, which was a bummer as well. The atmosphere is likely more enjoyable when dining in, but for takeout, I would suggest looking elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I visited La Carreta, I was left quite disappointed. The hype around their carne asada led me to have high expectations, but I found it to be overcooked and lacking in seasoning. The atmosphere remains delightful as always, but when it comes to the food, quality should never undermine the experience. I hope they improve the consistency of their dishes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit La Carreta, it's like comfort food for me! The crispy fish tacos are hands down my favorite, paired with their house salsa that’s just the right amount of spicy. I also appreciate their fast service—even on busy nights. It comes together nicely for a perfect dining experience. A solid recommendation for anyone craving some Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to La Carreta was less than favorable. While I appreciated the vibrant decor, the staff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. Our food took ages to arrive, and when it finally did, my shrimp tacos were lacking in flavor. I expected more authenticity from a place known for Mexican cuisine. Will likely seek other options in the area for my next meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wasn't happy with my experience at La Carreta. I came in for their famous fajitas but found them to be overpriced for what I received. The service was average; no one checked on me after my meal was served. I won’t be returning if they don't improve their overall quality. " (*Curated Review*)
