My friend came and picked me up for lunch and we decided to have Mexican. Our server was friendly, polite and knowledgeable about the menu. His name is Gaspar . The ambiance is Amazing with Plenty of space and semi private sections for a good party. The food was delicious...I ordered a plate of French fries covered with grilled chicken, onions, green peppers and lots of cheese. I was allowed to create my own dish; when I lived in Nashville, Tennessee I ordered it all the time with a few flour shells. Overall, the Experience was Awesome and they deserve 5 Stars.

MY FAVORITE PLACE I love everything about La Carreta! I always order a top shelf Marg, on the rocks and the quesadilla supreme!! The chicken is soooo tender and flavored perfectly Depending on how I'm feeling, I always opt for the 27 oz , but they get BIGGER ! They have 16, 27, 46, 50, and 60 ounce Margaritas It's always a sports game on the tvs, the vibe is always nice friendly, makes you wanna mingle with the crowd or others at the bar. I truly do enjoy coming here after work or with family and friends! 10/10 would definitely recommend!!!
