Added gratuity of 15% with no prior knowledge

My son in law ate here for lunch, after he left he looked over his receipt and saw a charge for 15% gratuity, he had no idea the restaurant did this, I have never heard of this unless it's a large party and it's on the menu that they will charge gratuity for large parties, I called the restaurant and spoke to the manager who stated that yes her restaurant charges a gratuity for all parties no matter, I feel like this is stealing, because if you don't know about it and you also leave a tip, they are actually getting more of a tip, the lady said she would refund the gratuity back to the card and for my son in law to not come back to the restaurant, I hope this reaches out to people and find it helpful, he said the food wasn't all that good either.

Short review today. This place was good as it was the only place open Sunday. We had the enchiladas with chips and queso to start. Not the best I have ever had in my life but not the worst. Again it's a good spot in town as we were passing through and there isn't much to choose from.

Just for a laugh.

I got fajita chimichangas. And the meat was so tough and gristly. Then the fried tortilla part tasted like old oil. But the kicker was that after I waited with an empty drink forever, they finally brought me another and there was a big bug in it. I called the owner/manager over and all he could say was "Do you want another one?"

Came here for our anniversary! Of course it's not the most fancy place for an evening out but the food was good and we would come back. Pricing was very fair! Service was okay. The lighting could have been better, it's a bit harsh and bright. The choripollo is super tasty! Great addition to gilmer!

Very disappointed in our experience at La Carreta. Our waitress seemed a little distracted, my daughter ended up with the wrong meal and we never got the appetizer we ordered. Most of the time we would just blow that off because hey we all have bad days but combined with the food, not a good combo at all. The food was the super disappointing. The fajitas were burnt and bland. My husbands only comment regarding the taco were that they were edible. The only positive thing I could say about our meal was that our youngest loved the kids cheese enchiladas.

Food is real good, I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy yet. The Chimichangas are by far my favorite.

Ok, so I've been to this restaurant several times now. I went several months ago and it was good…read more Not great but not bad either. My fiancee loves tacos and it's the closest Mexican restaurant. I always get the nachos. The first time I got them they were good. I've been back four times since then, and I don't know what happened, but the food and service got worse. I went several weeks ago, nachos were not good at all. The meat was cold, like it had been sitting in a warmer drawer all day and they didn't have it hot enough. Anyway fast-forward to tonight. I took my pregnant fiance for Valentine's Day. Worst experience yet. I once again got the nachos. (Thought maybe the cook had a bad night the last time). I tried chicken this time. It was terrible, chicken was cold, like the beef was last visit. The chips looked old and off colored. I couldn't even finish my food. I ordered the full size and each time I get less and less food. The chips were soggy already, it was like a pile of goo. How can chips get soggy so quickly? We sat and waited for the waitress to come back to our table so we could get more soda. Took her forever and there was only one other family there. On my way home I got sick and had to pull over on the side of the road. Was the last time I'll visit this establishment.

Clean restaurant, friendly and quick service, but the food was not good. Tacos were okay. Chips…read moretasted off and salsa was very bland. Chile relleno was covered in what was advertised as queso but didn't resemble any type of cheese I've ever seen nor did it taste like cheese. Wouldn't recommend or return.
