Carrettas must have the best Margaritas I have ever tasted. The cheese dip is to die for and the way the servers bring out the food is jaw dropping. A must for a good time, great family place as well as a fun hang out spot to let loose.

Pros: Drinks, service, food EVERYTHING

Cons: Closed Mondays

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Absolutely delicious! My family and I eat at Carreta's at least twice a month, sometimes more. It's a family friendly place- don't be afraid to take your kids there, everyone else does!! I expecially love the chimichangas, but my husband is stuck on the steak burrito con queso. Our kids love the quesadillas. The cheese dip is fantabulous!! (Is that a word?) The prices are reasonable. Parking can be a problem if you go at their peak hours. My only complaint is that they're closed on Monday's.

Pros: Everything Else

Cons: Limited Parking; Closed on Monday's

Moved to New Orleans from Mexico for a job and had a hard time finding a place with good mexican food - then I found Carreta's. Carreta's has managed to create a very similar restaurant experience as one would have in Mexico, except the service. In Carreta's defense, the night I was there there were a lot of people, nonetheless, I was not happy with the amount of time it took for my server to bring my food and drinks. Additionally, I did not appreciate the extra charge when I requested for more tortillas. Que onda con eso, no chingues.

Pros: Good Food, Nice Live Music, Great Drinks

Cons: Service, Extra Charges

I found my first trip to Carretas to be a very enjoyable experience. Though my wife and I had a twenty minute wait, it was well worth it. Carreta's has good service and a very comfortable atmosphere. Unlike many other restaurants that I have been to, it is also very clean. The food, especially the Chili Relleno, was excellent. Also, I found the prices to be very reasonable. There is also plenty of parking. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Carreta's somewhere around a nine. In other words, I highly recommend it.

Pros: inexpensive, good food, ample parking

Cons: none

I love this restaurant. It is now the only place my family will go to eat mexican food. The food is excellent and service is fast during the lunch hours. I love that you can choose one item and not a full plate to save on cost. The cheese dip is the best in the city, no others come close. I also like their live music. A great place to hang out with friends.

Pros: Inexpensive, Fast, Great Food
