Reviews La Carreta Mexican Restaurant

I had lunch with my wife and was stated right away at 1pm. Service was very good and the food was excellent. I had the burrito grande. This is A really nice place. The ambiance and music put me in A really good mood. This wasn't my first time here, but it reminded me that I need to come here more often.

Very busy on Saturday nights. I was on a list for over a half hour. Text was sent 📤 to me when my table was ready. Friendly service. Tables have plexiglass installed between them. Menus are available online. I had a coupon from the Hippo newspaper. I ordered Alitas, fried chicken wings, for an appetizer. My sinuses paid for it. I had Ranchero Chef?s Special, steak 🥩 with grilled peppers, tomatoes, onions and your choice of fajitas and chicken enchilada. Dessert was Flan, which though pricey, was the right amount without overfilling your stomach. My unsweetened ice tea was refilled without asking. All of my food was good, though the steak 🥩 had a bit to much fat. Salsa and nachos were offered as an appetizer. I took those home. I had leftovers and it made a good lunch and dinner. Wifi available. Parking lot can fill up fast. May want to call ahead on weekends. I recommend a visit. Update: Saturday afternoon, February 2021; I had another Hippo 🦛 Press coupon for lunch. I had the Speedy Gonzales with chicken 🐔, a taco 🌮 with an enchilada and Mexican rice. I was offered a refill on my iced tea. Service was great 👍. My server was a young lady with the initials C V. She said "Thank you" when I mentioned that the salsa tasted good. Only issue, the taco 🌮 tasted okay but lacked in filling. It needed tomatoes and a little sour cream. Cheese 🧀 was just thrown in. Update: Saturday afternoon, March 2021; Great service, good food. I had the Lunch Special#12 with a chicken 🐔 taco 🌮. Everything tasted good 😋, but, the taco 🌮 was lacking. I took the tomato 🍅 and sour cream from the special and added it to the taco. I'm not sure I had a burrito and enchilada or two of the same item. Update: Saturday afternoon, April 2021; I had Lunch Special#9, tamale and burrito with rice 🌾,and it was good. Service was good but I had a wait for my table. It was short. Update: Saturday afternoon, May 2021; Lunch Special#8. Burrito, tostada and Mexican rice 🌾. Yum 😋! Update: Friday afternoon, January 2022; Lunch Special #10, Enchilada, tostada and cheese 🧀 quesadilla. Very 👍 good!

My god, it's been a decade since we've been here and it is just as good as we remember. Rice and beans (like good bread at an Italian joint) are top notch. This means you can expect everything else to be good too. Salsa, cheese dip, chips. Quessidilla, rice, fajitas, carnitas, and yes, my daughter (the philistine) ordered a hot dog. Rice is especially good. Everything else gooder still. Thank you for being you, La Carreta (but don't visit their Portsmouth location...) Price was great too!

I had the Nacho Supreme which was very good. I also had a margarita, bedsides what else would you drink at a Mexican restaurant...LOL The wait staff were very friendly and accommodating. My friends and I really enjoyed ourselves.
