The food was good this visit....hubby had nachos which was a huge plate and I had polka ranchers which was great. The service was efficient and as usual the place was busy. Of course we will go back... read more

Mexican restaurant located in Weaverville! I came here on a Saturday night with my mom and we were seated immediately and given free chips & salsa. I ordered from their combinations side of the menu - one taco, one enchilada, and one chalupa (ground beef). Our food then came out in 5 minutes - I was shocked, but happy. Quick service, great prices, and big portions. Unfortunately, the food tasted very average to me. The ground beef had 0 flavor to it. The chalupa shell had a nice crunch to it though. read more

Food was bland and had literally 0 seasoning. Service is okay. Restaurant dead when we came

We tried to eat here today for lunch at 1:30! The person taking names down told his friend in front of us that they didn't have much of a wait. We were next and he proceeded to tell us it looks like an hour wait. How can you go from not much of a wait to an hour with one group in front of us that had 3 people?! read more

These men intentionally poisoned me. All because I nicely asked for a booth. We had been going there for years. I had always asked for a booth. My husband and I had the same dish. He did not get sick. I was violently ill with in the hour. I say men because they only hire male waiters. Occasionally there is one woman cleaning tables. I contacted poison control and government officials. I have not been back since. They will reap what they sow. Beware for your health. read more

This place is ok. Over priced for the serving size in my opinion. We got quesadillas texanas and it didn't come with beans, the rice was a large serving but was not typical Mexican rice. Very bland rice. The quesadillas themselves were okay sized and flavor, but nothing that knocks your socks off. Service was okay, a bit too rushed for me. Ambiance is very nice. There's a cute outdoor area to eat. Good place, just not my fav-- I prefer Orales. read more

My service dog and I were refused service this afternoon. They do not allow service animals in or on the patio. The Manger tried to "inform me" what the rules are with service animals, he was soooo wrongly informed and when I tried to educate him on the correct policy, he attempted to call the police. When I called his bluff with the phone call, he rudely asked me to leave. I live in Hotsprings and a lot of us river guides go there for drinks after work. We will never visit again. On my river trips, I recommend this place for margaritas, I will now tell all my customers and anyone else, to read more

I saw the review that you posted on on the front page for La Carreta where the reviewer says d the food was lousy. What???!! Don't know what part of the world that person is from. I have been to Mexico several times. Love the country. From my experience of 79 years I have to say phooey to say that "reviewer" must be from far far away planet. La Carreta serves terrific food. Shame on him or her. La Carreta is AWESOME!!!!! read more

I do not normally put negative reviews for restaurants, but I will say I was ASTOUNDED today when I walked in to place an order. I order two sides of cheese, just 2. I assumed chips would come complimentary like so many other places. The total I was charged was 16 dollars. I was given 2 small ramukens of cheese and some burnt chips. When I called to price check with the manager I was told to go eat somewhere else then, if I wasn't happy. I surely will be eating elsewhere. Price gouging is RIDICULOUS for what this community has gone through. I don't care how long the prices have been a certain way. You can be considerate of a customer who feels ripped off. Rude staff, bad management! read more

We've been going here for a year, and we love it. Best Mexican in WNC. The servers are all great, the food is marvelous, and the atmosphere is amazing. read more

horrible service as soon as I walk through the door, the receptionist (tall, skinny guy) was EXTREMELY rude and dismissive. I just wanted to ask a question and blew me off. didn't even get a chance to eat nor will I ever. read more

Good service. Good food. Good am dance.Have eaten there numerous times and always a good experience.

My experience was excellent. The waiter recommended a signature dish- Pollo Poblano. It was delicious and the portion was generous. My friend loved her Taco Salad and raved about it. The service was friendly. We are on the patio which was pleasant. read more

Food was good and came out quickly, service was great, and everything was very affordable. I would recommend stopping by and getting some refreshing margaritas! read more

Stopped in for a quick beer before grocery shopping. I got charged 9.75 for a 32oz dos Equis. Questioned the waiter and he said that's the cost. I have never, ever been charged 10 bucks for a beer at a Mexican place for lunch. No matter the size. Ever. And this one happens to be in a dumpy strip mall. I can get 2 12 oz beers for under 5 bucks at the other Mexican place in the same shitty strip mall. 10 bucks for 1 beer in Weaverville, no thanks. I'm sure the Chinese place that replaced u will be happy to see me. read more

I ordered food and there was a long piece of hair in it. Also the tall skinny receptionist was really racists and kicked my friends out of the restaurant. read more

Food quality is generally below average. We go once in a blue moon because it's local and convenient. Arros Con Pollo is my favorite menu item but they lag far behind the quality of other restaurants that offer the same menu. read more

Best frozen margaritas in town !!! They're not skimpy on the tequila. Definitely the best Mexican restaurant around.

Lots of seating here so you can sit fast but that doesn't mean you'll be served fast. I've waited a ling time sometimes and didn't wait at all other times. Complimentary chips and salsa. The other salsa bar salsas are 25cents each!! The ice tea and lemonade smell funny each time. The lemonade smelled like fish. The food is good and comes out fresh and hot. The servers are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Full bar here. In the strip mall across from Ingles. read more

This particular location of La Caretta is huge inside compared to it's Asheville - Hendersonville Road location. They also have the salsa bar which goes great with the free chips and salsa they give you with every meal. I have had one or two meals here that were so-so but generally everything is delicious. They have a full liquor bar which is great because I love a shot of tequila to go with my Mexican food and Corona. There's always a special on a HUGE mug of beer like Dos Equis. I usually get their tamales or tacos but I also love the chicken soup which reminds me of how some restaurants made it in Miami, FL. It is loaded with chicken and vegetables and it's truly a full meal. Service is usually pretty fast. I'll be back soon for sure. read more

Customer service was crappy. Little short server guy asked for a tip as I was paying. My buddy left a tip and they started talking crap in their language. And my other buddy called them out for asking for a tip then they got mad and charged him extra and for his little sauces he was bringing home. Won't be easy to miss little short guy. Big reason as to why it is rated 2.5 star read more

As a long-time (50+ yrs) of being a Mexican restaurant fan, I can say this place does a decent job with the kitchen part. They prepare, season and display their dishes very nicely, however, the wait staff and particularly the hosting part.........is among the worst I've ever witnessed in a restaurant. Not sure who the owner is but if it were me, I'd have a nice hire and fire town meeting ! I had noticed upon several visits that the ice tea was extremely weak, barely a 'tea color' in the glass, mostly sugar-water. I hadn't said anything, and hardly ever do say anything negative, but notcing the price had gone up to $3.50, I mentioned it to the host upon paying, I said "This tea is a bit over-priced, considering there's not any actual 'Tea' in the glass" He simply said, 'Go somewhere else, then" Yep, that's the way they treat customers here. Maybe I should have just not mentioned it and actually 'GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE" but how would the owner feel about this? When you pay $3.50 for a glass of tea, one would think that a waiter would have at least stopped by to ask if you needed a refil or if everything was ok. But noooooo, just the check is all they do for you. Their expressions are always a sour-faced, ''right this way"... never a smile.......usually a rude tone in their voices. But the host who says "Just go somwhere else" when I mentioned the weak ice tea.........lol...........now that's a fine head for business !!! Get rid of some of the jerks in there and you might have a fine restaurant. read more

I continue to frequent La Carreta because of the excellent food, the friendly staff, and the warm atmosphere. In all the time I have come to La Carreta, I have never been disappointed by any aspect of this outstanding restaurant. The food is wonderful, the staff outstanding. Whether by yourself, with that "special someone", or family (kids included) you will enjoy this taste of Mexico! read more

Gave them a try again for to go and I'm finally ready to give up on la carreta for good. The meat was a weird light brown color in my steak fajitas and just tasted awful. I had to throw it out because it just tasted rotten. The onions and green peppers were almost translucent they were so over cooked. Such a bummer that they haven't improved the food quality here in spite of so many awful reviews. The chips were actually fresh (which almost never happens here) read more

This place is amazing! Every time we have eaten here the food has been excellent , and trust me, we have eaten here a lot. Consistency is one of the most important things when owning a restaurant, and that is what we have experienced. Plus, the quality of food you get for the price is outstanding! I would highly recommend eating here! The staff are great as well, but he way. read more

Food is funky tasting. Chicken was too dry and salty, it's so simple to make. I ordered chimichangas originally, sauce was too sweet. I changed my plate for something simple "ACP" rice was white, chicken was white, and everything was too salty. They could have seasoned it just a little bit.. also mi sisters fries tasted old. We all had a "open food charge" on our tickets for 2$ ea. read more

Good food. Good service. Hot bean dip was great and the regular salsa was good too. Fiesta nachos were great and meal portion sizes were generous. We just stopped here on a road trip through town, but would definitely go again. read more

I' give this place a one because I trued to call in an order and asked one question about the menu and he said he didn't have time to answer questions about their menu. He told me to look it up online and then call them back. It was just very rude so I went elsewhere. read more

It's always a good night when La Carreta is for dinner. I got the ACP which is just grilled chicken, Mexican rice, and queso. Sounds super simple but trust me, it's delicious. I believe my friend got the #11 dinner combo. She enjoyed it and we were both very satisfied with the portion size. Our waiter was nice and very attentive. Chips and salsa are immediately served the moment you sit down. La Carreta will definitely satisfy any Mexican food craving! read more

Place looks weathered and unsanitary. Food was flavorless and I tried to cover-up the taste with sour cream (up-charge). The hard tacos go mushy before you finish your meal. Staff doesn't seem to care if your enjoying your time or meal. Never had bad Mexican till La Carreta in Weaverville, NC. Hopefully it will go out of business soon. I recommend going to Taco Bell where you're guaranteed a better meal. read more

Walked in at 9 and they yelled at us saying they closed. There was an hour till close and we were just coming for a drink. Rude employees.

So upon arriving with my wife and son to eat here we are greeted by one of the rudest and inconsiderate Hispanic men I have met. We ask about seating outside and he looks like I should be shot for even asking such a ridiculous question. Then proceeds to tell us he has no idea how long that may take and we can wait for a table to clear or sit inside. We choose inside. When seated normally we are greeted with tasty hot tortilla chips and delicious salsa. NOT HERE!! After waiting like 10 minutes we finally get cold and stale chips, and salsa that I believe may have been made by a 2 year old!! TERRIBLE!!! Then we meet our "server", a joke!! He is more interested in watching what's going on the television than helping us!! Finally order and get food and I am stretching here but a solid 3 of 10 on prep and taste. This place is a joke!!! I could have saved all the hassle and saved my money by going to Taco Bell and getting better tasting food to boot! STEER CLEAR AMIGOS!!!! read more

The food is good but not worth the price and the manager is the RUDEST person you'll ever meet in a restaurant setting. Save yourself some time and go to the one on Merrimon Avenue where you'll receive food that is just as good if not better with much better staff. read more

Food was just edible but was less authentic tasting than any other Mexican restaurant I have had. The service was rushed and horrible. The hostess was super rude. read more

I purchased a grilled shrimp salad from lacaretta in weaverville nc with extra shrimp with small guacamole, and I was charged $30.25 for the order!!!! the cost the salad on menu was under $20.00..guacamole was $3.99..so I was charged an additional $7.00 for the shrimp..it looked like I got 6 extra shrimp..what a ripoff, looks like there gouging price..very dissatisfied..ordered same order 2 weeks ago & it was only around $21.00!!!! won't be patronizing that restaurant again!! read more

The new location is just as good as the old one on Merrimon. They seem to have a new staff (not surprising) that is more friendly and attentive. Portions are nice, food is always pipping hot and tasty. Love those 22 oz. Dos Equis for $4.50!!! read more

Nice exterior and very nice buildout inside. Service was quick but unhurried and the normal dishes, combinations and salsas were present. But to me, normal sums up the food. Nothing horrible, nothing over the top good, just normal strip mall Mexican fare. I had Carne Asada, my son the Grande Burritto, the rest had various dishes that they sad were good, but no raves. read more
