Wonderful food, wonderful staff able to make special orders! It's always my go to. The manager is so accommodating and wonderful. I have Special food needs, and he even made my own button because I usually order the same thing. Can't get any more service than that.

Veggie Fajitas

Giving LaCarreta 5 stars for consistency, good service and convenience. They are open 7 days a week! They have added many healthy options to the menu so we eat here frequently as an alternative to cooking. Veggie fajitas are loaded with broccoli, zucchini, peppers and onions. Also recommend the Monterrey dinners and chipotle cauliflower.

Our go to Mexican place on the Northshore did not let us down today, as the Mrs. And I enjoyed lunch at La Carreta-Covington. Great margaritas, chicken Monterey and salads on the patio on a beautiful afternoon.

food was good and service was awesome! It seems like it would also be a fun place to go for drinks with friends. We had kids, and they were happy.

Okay, this is my fifth visit here in five months so it's safe to say I'm either a glutton for…read morepunishment or that this place is great. Fortunately, it's the later, by a wide margin. Why you ask? Simple, it's great. My reasons: 1) Every time we've been here the service has been great. Not good, great. We've taken the time to meet/talk to the serving staff and they all have been friendly, attentive, and really good at their jobs. We have also met the owners and they too are lovely people. 2) The setting, given that's it's in a small strip mall is great. They have a large patio, plenty of umbrellas as booths, and multiple water features including a water wall. Inside the restaurant is equally beautiful. This is not Chi-Chis or some place trying to faux up the setting. 3) The food is great. If you are looking for typical Americanized Mexican, Spanish, South American food, this is not your place. If you are instead looking for great food that is more interesting, this is the place. For example, tonight we had a chicharron that looked liked two of biggest fried slices of hog heaven you could hope for. It was amazing! We also had the chimichurri sauce which was slightly different from what we have had in the past but it too was awesome! We even asked for some to go to which they said of course. 3) The portion size of most of what we've had over the five visits have almost always fit the price while things such as the steak fajitas were on the generous side for 2026. Bonus, big bonus- They are very dog friendly so your four legged and well behaved dogs are more than welcome in their spacious outdoor patio. And since the tables (not the booths) are not tightly together it's a good place even for the truly big dogs! That about covers it. So bring your fur baby, have a drink (they have some nice concoctions ) and enjoy a restaurant that recreates so many things from one of the owner's youth. And if you can sit outside, you will enjoy it even more! As always, apologies for my usually long and hopefully epic review. Cheers and happy dining all!

Top notch dining in a hidden corner with true Mexican flavor and artisan tacos. I had the…read morecarnitas....excellent! My entire meal was delicious. Somebody is really cooking in this kitchen, you can taste the slow food, deep stocks paring with bright garnishes. Im delighted this place is in my neighborhood! The interior is super cool too, and the have outside dining. Music is Carlos Santana instrumental. Prices are average, an excellent value for the experience. My new favorite Mexican place.
