I have been coming to this family-owned restaurant for over thirty years. The menu has stayed…read morebasically the same. You get a fresh basket of corn chips when you sit down. Each server is relaxed and happy to explain things. Children are welcome. They are amused when I order in Spanish. The frozen strawberry margarita is gigantic. My only complaint is the occasional noise level, but the tables are close together and there are lots of people. The intermittent music adds the noise. A lot depends on the day and time you are there.

It was loaded with meat and the cheese was thicker instead of runny. My kid got the birria tacos and they were delicious. I got something that I dont remember the name of "mar y ..something or other", it had shrimp, scallops, chicken, vegetables, on a bed of rice and topped with cheese. I was really happy with the food here and will stop back by when im in the area.

Located in the downtown area of Lynchburg, close to the glass house…read more I started with their house margarita. It was strong but not very enjoyable to drink. If you look at the picture it is clear, I would have liked it in an actual margarita glass at the least or get salt on the rim. I got the texana fajitas to share. This came with shrimp, steak, and chicken. It was good but I have never had a fajita that I did not like. We barely saw our waiter. We asked for water multiple times and finally got it probably 45 minutes after we had arrived and once we received our food. Prices are fair. Note: you seat yourself

Not sure what's happened to this place. They used to be good…read more Waiter was clueless beyond. Simple lunch tacos took 40 minutes and they weren't crowded. Chorizo tasted like hamburger meat, no flavor. Cheese inside enchilada wasn't hot and melted it was cold and hard. They brought one taco instead of 3 to someone at our table. Won't return. Too many other good Mexican options in Lynchburg.

Came in around lunch time and was surprised that there weren't many people there…read more My waiter was very nice and helpful, I asked about the birria tacos and he said that they were a 10/10... I disagree. The meat was very flavorful and the consumè was some of the best that I've had but the tortillas itself tasted as if it had been fried which I'm not a fan of... change that and you might get a 10/10 The cheese was mid and the rice wasn't something I would come back for.

We had hesitated to visit EM because of the negative comments that had circulated, however, a…read moreco-worker's event forced the visit. Food is prepared quickly, but bland. Mixed drinks struggled. Prices are what one would expect, no surprises. Liked having three distinct dining zones (outside being one of them) to choose from. The interior not only needs to be decluttered, but repainted; bathrooms need more attention. Up to this point, EM aligns with its peers, however, their FOH staff struggled! They had ample headcount but lacked the necessary skills...shame on their "Leadership". Verdict: fear not, yet maintain lowered expectations or a glass half full point of view.

I usually love this place. The food has always been hot and fresh and service is great…read more Unfortunately today, was disappointing. I placed an online order to pick up on the way home from work. I arrived and was ignored for five minutes. Finally someone came and they gave me my order. I got home and had some chips and guac which was good. Then I had one of my tacos. The green sauce I requested was missing. I love that green sauce and was sad it was not included. I decided to finish the guac later that evening and to my surprise there was a quarter in the cup. It made me feel sick to think I had eaten that and it was not sanitary. I call the restaurant and I just get a oh I am sorry. There was no attempt at recovery. I really love this place but feel really sick thinking about that guac.

Yikes! We had high expectations due to the high rating and delicious looking pictures online…read more Unfortunately, the food we received (which was VERY expensive, by the way, and prices for most items were not on the menu) was subpar. We ordered the al pastor tacos with rice and beans, chicken tacos, asada tacos, and asada torta. The good stuff: service was friendly, the wait wasn't too long, and the portions were good (the torta was GIANT). The atmosphere outside would probably be nice at night (they have outdoor seating, tables, lights). The torta was the best thing we ordered, it was good! Unfortunately, all the meat we got was dry and unseasoned. In the torta it was masked by all the other ingredients, but all of the tacos are more simple, so the unseasoned meat couldn't be covered up. The pork on the al pastor was so dry and flavorless I couldn't force myself to take more than a couple bites. The rice and beans also tasted unseasoned and flavorless which was very disappointing. All of this wouldn't have been so disappointing if it wasn't extremely expensive (we are visiting from DC and even street tacos there are cheaper!). We were expecting high quality for a meal that was almost $70 total (9 tacos with one side of rice and beans, one torta, and a soda).

Scammers! Be careful when dining at La Fogata and always…read moredouble-check your bill. I stopped in for lunch and ordered a meal that was listed on the lunch menu for $10, but I was charged $17.61almost double the advertised price. I have no problem paying the price that's clearly listed on the menu, but I won't support a restaurant that charges significantly more than the posted price without a clear explanation. What makes this even more confusing is that I ate here just last week for dinner, and the regular menu items I ordered were only around $12 each. How does a lunch special that's advertised as $10 end up costing $17.61? I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I'm all for supporting small businesses, but I also expect transparent pricing and to be charged what the menu says. Because of this experience, I won't be dining here again.

La Carreta Mexican Restaurant is a very good restaurant for Mexican food and drink…read more Very good experience overall all. Wait staff was quick to seat us even though the restaurant was busy. The cleaned and prep tables quickly after previous people left and they had the table / booth ready in a short time. They quickly got drinks and took orders as we were ready. They followed up for refills and the food came out quick. Food was hot when it arrived our table and portions were good. Their Texas Trio Fajitas platter was good and their individual soft steak taco "street" style were excellent. Place was clean. It was too noisy for me at the bar and tables in that area. Inside the restaurant section, still loud, but not as bad as the bar area. Prices are fair. Drinks are well poured and tasted good. Overall, La Carreta is a strong recommendation and we'll be back to this location. We tried other locations and this one is the best.
