Although the food itself was good, the experience was ruined by receiving an inaccurate order. After working a 10-hour shift, the last thing I needed was to deal with an incorrect order and not receive what I actually paid for. I hope this can be addressed so that orders are checked more carefully before being given to customers.

10 Toes Down... this is a 5 star crepe my friend!…read more DESSERT: There is primarily crepes (Dubai crepes, but also other items "in a cup" Biscoff, Dubai Strawberry. The crepe is magnificent! I got "the number 1" it's chocolate and bananas inside, chocolate drizzle on top dressed with fresh strawberries and blueberry's. Got one for Mom too, she ate it the next day! Still fresh and totally loved it! LOCATION: The best surprises are often unexpected! A truck located, outside the parking lot gates of "Ross Dress for Less". TRUCK: The long, white, truck says "crêpes" in neon letter & nothing more! Lol. Like I don't think too many people are about to stay chillin on Figueroa and Vernon to enjoy a crepe but it was an accommodating thought to put cute little stools on the sidewalk so one can relax while waiting for your crepe! COMMUNICATION: I used iPhone translation to communicate with them (my Spanish is limited) but you can just point too. I'm confident you'll figure it out, no biggie! Great, friendly service! :) PAYMENT: They only accept Zelle or cash no tap or card. "Here everyday 4:30pm-10:30pm" it's what the lady said!

Yassss! Delicious.

Then came the fried plantain crepe and suddenly I got quiet because I was too busy having a moment. And PLEASE get the cocoa puff latte.

Long review here! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more We are from Texas, spending a few days in LA for my daughter's 15th birthday. We ran across this truck on Thursday night when we got into town. Ordered the SHRIMP TACOS. I forgot to add what what I wanted so the owner asked what I'd like on it. My response "show me what I'm missing in LA". BEST shrimp tacos I've had ever! Corn tortilla lightly fried and the sauce... FIRE! We decided in dessert. Ordered Strawberry shortcake cookie and banana pudding cookie. They said it would be about a 20 min wait because they are baked to order! The wait was WORTH IT! Delicious. Soft middle light crisp of the outside just how I love it! Chicken loaded fries, my daughters ate it all! Fried Oreos with white chocolate sauce 10/10! Customer service 10/10! Ambiance was nostalgic with old school 90s Hip Hop and R&B playing. Perfect! Friday... we are back the truck. This time we order strawberry shortcake cheesecake and peach cobbler... had me eating with my eyes closed wishing it would never end! I wish I could take this back to Texas! Matter fact, bring the truck to us PLEASE! We will be back tonight as we close our trip! Meet yall there! This is a MUST STOP while in downtown LA!

When I got the ticket, the truck lights were off, the music was full blast to the point I couldn't…read morehear myself think and the food crew didn't start my order until more people ordered. The food ticket even has the wrong times so there is no accountability, food safety (gloves), refunds for terrible service, and it was about a long wait for basic things. To the owner: the receipt says 12:52am, I started waiting around 9:45pm. By the logic you gave me, it should take 3 hours to make 6 cookies? That doesn't make any sense. Any commercial cookie place pre-bakes their cookies to lower the wait time for their customers. I love hiphop, I love music blasting. I'm hard of hearing so if I can't even think straight from the sound after being particularly deaf that's something. How did I know they were not wearing gloves? I asked them 2-3 times during the allotted time and when they answered they were not wearing gloves. Went I went the final time to the window I was watching the worker put our cookies in a container without gloves and he handed them to me. We didn't even eat the cookies because I didn't see gloves on at any point of the process. The reason for the 0/5 stars is the service ordering was odd, no one greeted me, the lights were off when I ordered for a good while. The cookies took way longer when they could be pre-made to quicken the customer experience. More visibility of the windows to see the actual process of all the food would help customers feel rest assured basic food safety and prevention of cross contamination. And lastly, good customer service of all guests. We want good food, we want excellent cookies. That was not my experience, in any of the process. 7/20 update: As a customer, waiting 30 minutes to 2 hours for 6 cookies is way too long. Even if they are the best damn cookies I've ever had, no way am I waiting outside that long for them. I'm not telling you how to run your business, I'm giving you suggestions based on my terrible experience. Again, the cookies were so gross I left them in the trash can at the hotel we were staying at. It didn't matter if it was a woman owned, white owned, or anything, my experience was one of the worst experiences ever ordering, period.

This place makes a great sandwich! My girlfriend had the chicken mole and I had milanesa, they were both great! They make there own bread which is delicious. The service was quick and the atmosphere is casual with TVs playing soccer and self serve Mexican coke, Fanta, etc.. the staff was very helpful. neither my girlfriend or I speak Spanish very well, and despite the restaurant being very busy, they took there time to make sure we ordered everything correctly and that we got our food the right way. Thanks! Great meal :) read more

With no papalo leaf (is it just out of season or do they not have it?) their cemita milanesa is a mere shadow of Santa Ana's.

I had to awkwardly shift mid-sentence and pretend I had been speaking Spanish the whole time when she started asking me questions in Spanish. I forgot the word for 'small' so ended up with a huge agua jamaica. Oh well.

I don't know what kind of carne‑asada‑scented bat signal they're sending into the sky, but my stomach clocked in for overtime the second that aroma hit me. I was hungry hungry, like "don't talk to me until I get a tortilla in my hand" hungry. La Carreta is the definition of laid‑back, casual dining done right. Clean, chill, and the kind of place where you instantly feel like you can exhale. The service? Top‑tier friendly, the staff moves with that effortless confidence of people who know their food is about to change your mood for the better. "Absolute Great Service" The Tacos (AKA My Reason for Living That Day) Let's talk about the tacos that dragged me in like a cartoon character floating toward a pie on a windowsill. * Carne Asada Taco -- Juicy, flavorful, and straight‑up disrespectful in how good it was. Every bite had me nodding like I just heard a good beat. Carne asada taco * Two Al Pastor Tacos, These were the kind of al pastor that make you rethink your life choices. Tender, smoky, sweet, and stacked on homemade tortillas that tasted like someone's abuela woke up at 4 AM to bless them personally. Al pastor tacos & Homemade tortillas! "I swear those tortillas were so fresh they probably still had a heartbeat." My drink? Agua de Jamaica, ice‑cold and refreshing enough to make me forget the heat, the hunger, and the fact that I basically followed a taco scent trail like a bloodhound. Tart, floral, and perfect. Agua de Jamaica....so delicious! La Carreta is one of those places where you walk in starving and walk out spiritually fulfilled. Great service, clean space, casual vibes, and tacos so good they should come with a warning label. If you ever smell carne asada drifting through Vernon, don't fight it. Just follow it. It's probably La Carreta calling your name. Miguel C.

However, there are some exceptions. This food truck, located near downtown Los Angeles, is one of those exceptions. I was visiting a buddy of mine one weekday afternoon. He lives off the 5 freeway, and he suggested we come here for some grub. I agreed, so we made the 15 minute drive here. We parked along the same street in which this food truck was located. Upon checking out the menu, I noticed they had a good variety of Mexican food. This includes: birria, tacos, just to name a few. I got some tacos, and some birria to-go. They had some tables set up, so we sat down there to enjoy our food. My buddy got a coca-cola while I got a mineral water to wash down my food. The tacos were very good! They were very tasty, and I was able to get em to the right level of spicy with the condiments that the food truck provided. I enjoyed my food from here, and I will definitely come back again soon.

A truly unexpected GEM of a find!! So good I could eat these tacos and this Consomé every day!…read more Hubby and I love to drive around LA in search of random Taco Trucks or Street Vendors selling tacos. When we were in this area, I searched on Yelp and found this truck. 4 Stars, it must be pretty good! So, we made our way here. At first glance into the truck, a guy was eating so we weren't sure if we could order. He didn't step up to the window. So I stood back and took another peek at him and he came to take our order. Other people came to order after us. One thing I don't like about these places we like to go to (trucks & stands) is that they don't have their prices posted. We did get a receipt here, so we did find out how it all breaks down (after we paid)! I'm finding out that Dorado Tacos cost a bit more than regular street tacos. These deep-fried tacos are the size of Street Tacos and cost $2.28 each (as per our receipt). To me, they are worth every penny spent! The Birria was delicious and was enhanced by the Consomé! If you like a flavorful Consomé without it being super greasy, this is the one for you! This is the first place I've had it with meat in it! Now I don't even need a taco! Haha We ordered one Horchata to accompany our meal. I don't know if they are not selling freshly made Aguas Frescas Horchata due to COVID or if they never do. We were handed a bottle of La Gotita Horchata and surprised that it was better than a lot of homemade Horchatas we get from the trucks & stalls! My mouth is already watering for the Dorado Tacos and Consomé! Time to go back for more!!
