Do NOT order Waitr from this establishment. Placed an order over $100 for my family. Ordered extra salsa and queso dip and the meal arrives without chips! Arguably the most important part of a Mexican meal. Also, all of the meats in the orders were backwards.
Called them and pleaded with them to just bring us a bag of chips and all would be good. but the guy that answered refused. He said that if we wanted chips bad enough we could come get them ourselves. After ordering from here at least 10+ times and spending well over $1500 in the past 6 months I will never spend another dime of my money here. Chuy’s in Mandeville is by far the best Mexican food on the Northshore, and they will get every cent from now on. They deserve it. Happy eating folks.

My husband and I wanted something different so we googled and went to a restaurant called Carreta's Grill. We thought it may be like la Carrera in tangipahoa parish. To our delight it was not. The skirt steak was perfectly marinated so tender and tasted amazing. Not the cheap cut of meat I have grown accustomed to with other Mexican restaurants. They had a waitress (Ashlyn)there that was amazing as well. We watched as a customer was snippy for no reason ordering her around like she was her personal slave and Ashlyn handled it like a champ very sweet and accommodating. The assistant manager was also extremely nice and knew they had an awesome waitress too. I will definitely be back. This is a most go..

The stuffed poblano pepper ( chile relleno ) is amazing! The best I have ever eaten.

Delicious food and a great value. We loved the chimichangas and the rice the most. Daughter enjoyed the queso and chips appetizer. Thanks for a great meal for our family.
Boyd McPhail
Great margaritas and stuffed peppers! I love their service and Daniel is the best server!
Benji McKinney
Service as fast and friendly. However, the steak in the fajitas was tough and very small portion even for a lunch menu item. Carreta's is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants but today was an off-day for this location.
Stacy Jackson
Not all that welcoming. Food was average. I wouldn't tell someone not to go there, but I doubt I'll go back.
Lisa Holliday
This place is definitely a new favorite! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and very quick, and the atmosphere was family friendly and comfortable! Great experience!
Marc Minyard
Great food and friendly staff. They can get busy at times so just have a drink and be patient.
Jennifer White Sonier
Love the food and margs! We always have the best service!!!
Betty Suhre
Our large party was quickly and efficiently seated & served, the food was fabulous and the rendition of “Happy Birthday” was perfect!
James Haik
In my opinion, Carretas is one of the most consistently good mexican restaurants in the New Orleans area! No matter which location I have dined in the food has been good! I recommend Carretas of Metairie, Slidell and Covington!

Everything was fresh and delicious. Wait staff was real friendly.

The food, drinks, and service are always awesome. I would give a 5 star rating if it weren't for the kids meals. My husband and I visited about a month ago and my 4 year old wanted macaroni & cheese. The portions were waay smaller than the last time we went (about a year ago). He's not a big eater, and he's only 4, and there was not enough food to fill him up. I ordered the apple slices as his side and they didn't bother to core the apple. I was really disappointed.

Food great. Atmosphere great. Mojitos. Not so great

Best Margaritas on the Northshore. My favorite Mexican restaurant in Covington & Mandeville by far.
Meghan McCarthy
Excellent food and service. Never a disappointment.

I won the Tailgater special this past week, and I can definitely say that everything I received was awesome and fresh! The Popeye dip, salsa, queso, and guacamole were delicious! I also had a gallon of their frozen margaritas, delicious. Everything I had is perfect for tailgating. Especially in this freezing weather, it'll definitely warm you up. Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Thank you Carreta's for being awesome!

Food was really good. Service also very good. Mojito so so, did not crush mint. Will definitely return.

Ouch... hate when I have to give a bad review. We arrived with our party of 8 and were promptly seated because the place was pretty empty for a Saturday night. Everything went well with ordering and drinks, but when the food started to arrive our server was calling out the dish names and slamming plates to the table. I mostly heard complaints around the table although one of us really liked the ceviche. Personally my fajitas looked great and had high quality meats, but they lacked flavor. All the dishes were regular tex-mex style with nothing notable. Now. The real issue... the service was horrible. No follow ups. No refills. No service. Probably wouldn't return for the food... definitely won't return for the service. Too many other tex-mex choices nearby.

The only reason this place gets a 2.5 instead of a 2 is because of the attentive waitstaff and quick service times.<br/><br/>This place serves very run of the mill TexMex food like most Mexican places you have been to. Steps up from Taco Bell, but nothing very memorable or special.<br/><br/>The chopped steak in my burritos tasted badly refrigerated, which is why this place deserves a rating of two to start. I paid over $13 for an entrée that consisted of two small steak stuffed burritos in a flour tortilla covered with verde sauce and a side of beans and rice. Ridiculous.

Great value for the money. Excellent service. Checked with us often for needs and quality. We will be back.
Johnston
Very pleased with the food and service. Margaritas were over the top!!!
FoodTherapist
A bit slow in the service, yet quality service when they get to your table. Pleasantly surprised by their chicken/steak fajita . Nice hint of citrus to dish. Enjoyable Margaritas

I have consistently found this to be one of the best restaurants on the North Shore, The enchiladas Potasinas Are truly outstanding.
Jr
What are there, 6 mexican places in covington and none are anything special. is that because mexicans think people in covington are bland and average like the chinese think? at least the thai people like us enough to cook well.

VERY GOOD. If you like good Mexican food, you'll like Carreta's Grill. This is not Taco Bell, this is real Mexican food like I used to get in Los Angeles.
Eatin Out Is My Thing
The have a rockin Cinco De Mayo party....been 3 years in a row and goin again this year!
Cril
CHEAP. For the amount they charged, it was pathetic. I ordered a quesidilla which had very little chicken, little -- if any - cheese. HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE!! Never eat there again.
Ben
Overrated. The only good thing was the cold beer. It standard Tex Mex with the combination plates and fajitas with store bought tortillas. Ok if you're in the mood for "Mexican"
Micky
Tricky. I think this place is trying to fool you by using the same name as the terrific "La Carreta's" in Mandeville. This place is not terrific at all, in fact it is BAD!
