Awesome! The folks were so nice and engaged. Totally committed to our food and experience. The inside was great and kid friendly too! The food portions were very large. Mine was a steak quesadilla--best tasting steak I've had in a quesadilla. My wife had a burrito that was very large. Super good good. They also had a salsa bar. I tried 3 and they were fantastic. Went very well with their fresh made chips.

Yeah thas nice..

This has to be the place for the El Carreton Taqueria as seen on the map. This the building that used to be a Sonic drive thru. What is really neat is the Beatlemania wall mural of 4 amigos crossing Abbey Road. We go inside and see a bottled El Tri red white and green. Oh oh, we need an interpreter as the young man was struggling to answer or confirm our questions. A knowledgeable staff member helped us out. We ordered vegan grilled vegetable tacos, Carne Asada tacos, AL Pastor tacos, Enchiladas Verde with rice and beans, burrito Pastor, and a Taco Salad with grilled chopped "steak". Colorful presentations on trays were camera ready. The salsa bar has choices of the red or green and more of toppings and spice level. The claim to be authentic is pretty far fetched. Certainly it has the flavors of Mexican fare, but so does TexMex and AxMex and CaliMex and every restaurant claiming authentic Mex. But I digress, we were hungry and ate in the comfortable dining area. El Carreton Taqueria whether it is number 1 or 2.0 did answer our want for street tacos. Yes, the background music was ok too.

We stopped in for lunch & it was amazing. The host was polite, energetic & professional. Our food came out hot and freshly prepared. Each selection was delicious. We ate outside which was beautiful and clean. If I could add anything it would be music. We will be back again and again.

Tacos, quesadillas and tortas are good. sometimes their steak can have a bit of fat so I stick with…read morethe chicken items. The good thing about this spot is they'll be open when everyone else has closed BUT when they're busy.... they'll straight up tell you "45 min wait for your food" so there have been times when I just leave. I've been told I should avoid the area late at night? Can't speak to that but overall, solid tacos, quesadillas and tortas if you're looking for a late meal. They've recently put some tents over the benches which helps, a lont time ago all they had were benches but the set up is much better now. Prices are fair.

If "Meh" was a Mexican restaurant, this is it. I could probably stop here, but I won't. I'll give…read moreyou the deets. We found ourselves in Gainesville, Ga and saw they turned the old Chick-Fil-A/Sonic into a Mexican restaurant. Oh cool, we thought. We'll have to try it. Full disclosure we did order food to go, but I took that into account when for this review. When you go in, think dollar store Chipotle. We ordered two burritos, two tacos, and a bowl. The burritos were carne asada. Beans, rice, all that jazz. They were fine, but nothing to really make them stand out. Salsa was mid. Beans, mid. Rice, mid. Etc. Just now wow factor. Moving on to the tacos, the tortillas were good and fresh. Meat was plentiful and with enough lime and salsa, overall a good experience. Then we get to the bowl. I ordered birria bowl. Everything looked the part except I didn't see the sauce in the meat container when they were making the bowl. That should have been my first clue. When I got home to eat, the meat was dry and needed salt. When have you even had Mexican food that needed salt!?!?!! The meat had a lot of fatty pieces as well, which I didn't necessarily mind, but I know is a turn off for a lot of people. The bowl just didn't taste like much of anything. All told, the order was around $40. Just not worth it. There are too many other Mexican places within 10 minutes that have better food. Place was clean. Service was ok, just could have saved money at Taco Bell.
