This place is great and always fresh. My dad had a time where his food was cold but they fixed it right away and it was much better. The chips and salsa are always good and we've enjoyed this place many times read more

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants in the Berne area for many years now. We love going here and their food is always excellent at a great price. Service is quick too! read more

It was okay. The salsa seemed a little watered down but the chips were good. The service was quick but the drinks were nothing to write home about. Our food was pretty good though. That also came pretty quick and looked nice. I would like to come back again in the future to see what else they might offer. read more

drank one too many margs and got kicked out for disturbing the public. other than that great experience !! read more

El Carreton 2 - New menus come and check them out - Mexican Near Me - Berne, Indiana

Staying in town while visiting family, they brought us here for dinner. It's a newer place with ample parking and typically decorated Mexican artwork, etc. Pretty big and clean, it was empty when we got there for dinner at 5:30 on a Sunday night but filled up quickly. We were greeted by a very friendly waiter and seated. The menu is huge and it took us awhile to decide. They have all the typical stuff. The chips and salsa were yummy and plentiful. They even brought us our own little bowls of salsa so we could double dip guilt free. I ordered one of the vegetarian platters - a bean burrito, a quesadilla and a tostada. The food came out fast and was HUGE and CHEAP (under $8 for mine alone). It was pretty good, way too much, but came with cheese, sour cream, guac, lettuce. The beans were good. I couldn't eat half of it but enjoyed it a lot. The service continued to be awesome and attentive. Even a large group of Amish came in for Sunday supper! I'd go back because I like locally owned places and this place was good and cheap. read more

I give this place 5 stars for cleanliness. The place smells clean when you walk in and the restrooms are spotless. The staff is friendly and check on you often. Why then, you may ask, am I only giving it 2 stars? The food. After all, that is why you come here. The chips are overcook to the point of having a burnt flavor. I ordered a Grilled Shrimp Salad. What I got was an entire plate full of shredded iceberg lettuce with a handful of what looked to be the peppers and onions for the fajitas thrown on top. The "grilled" shrimp was cooked in so much grease that they were dripping and all you could taste was the cooking oil. The taco meat in the taco was ground and reground so finely that it was almost paste and it had no seasoning or flavor. It is a shame that they don't know how to cook and that they have such poor quality food. Oh, and don't order the tamales. Although it is listed no less than 4 places on the menu as an entree, I was told they no longer sell tamales. How hard is it to cross it off the menu if you no longer offer it??? read more

They are kind of hit or miss on service, and their food is completely average Mexican, but it's the best restaurant in town in my book... That's actually not saying much if you know Berne. Standards aren't super high there. But it's where I go when I visit family who lives there. The last time I was there, there was actually NO spiciness/hotness whatsoever to the salsa that comes with the chips. It was just like pureed tomato sauce. I don't know if they realized that Berne-ites don't like things that aren't bland, or if that was a mistake on their part, but it amused me. read more

Always great service. Friendly and quick. Food is always on point. Salsa leaves a little heat in the mouth but not overwhelming. Haven't had a bad meal and I've been multiple times. Large groups and alone. Never disappointed. read more

This is a much needed Mexican restaurant for Berne. The steak with my burrito is full of flavor. Very fresh.

I like this restaurant! The menu is broad and the food is consistently good. The enchiladas and burritos are probably the best. The salsa and chips are good - ask for their hot sauce...it is unique. The wait staff is professional. the food comes out quick. Good place for a fast but relaxing lunch! Give it a try!! read more

El Carreton is my all time favorite. El Carreton 2, not so much. It's clean and the service is good, but the food was not as good as it could have been. I ordered an "enchiladas supremas" lunch special, it comes with rice or beans, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. It was pretty good quality and flavor. The problem is, I happen to be allergic to avocado, and it was all mixed in to my sour cream. They clearly were not careful to use a different spoon for the different toppings. If you have a sensitivity to something, I would make sure you mention it to them. read more

This is an average Mexican place serving run of the mill food. The place is clean & nice inside. Service is fine. I don't think you'll leave here hungry. read more

Others have shared about the cleanliness and physical features. I like the chips and salsa a lot. Both are made from scratch. In fact, a lot of the food is authentic and home made. I found that authentic Mexican food differs much like North American food. I liked the mushroom quesadilla I had here last week. My dad had the taco salad and wasn't a fan. My husband liked the chicken fajita. Nothing was overspiced. read more

The restaurant is very clean, and the food was great. I had a burrito, and my wife had a burrito/enchilada combo. Nice place.

We usually visit Berne each summer and consistently try to find a good restaurant. This is difficult in this little town. Two years ago, we tried this Mexican restaurant. Everything was very salty. Terrible. Even my husband, who salts everything, thought it was over salted. The next year, we decided to give it another try. I don't remember what we had, but we vowed not to make a return visit. I gave it 2 stars for cleanliness and friendliness. Mexican food varies so much by Mexican region, and it varies also by US region. You might like it, but we wouldn't recommend it. read more
