    Nachos caretta
    Madison T.

    Lovely Mexican restaurant in weaverville. Great prices, huge portions, and always hot and fresh food. Service is great and the drinks are strong! Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I ordered the nachos caretta and took plenty home with me.

I shoehorned myself in there and asked the guys on either side of me what they thought. One was a regular, the other also a newbie like me. The newbie said his loaded nachos were very good, but too big. I didn't want a lot. The regular told me I couldn't go wrong with the street tacos. The bartender confirmed. She was awesome, but didn't catch her name. Very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. I was going to order two steak tacos, but the bartender thought I should try the carnitas for one of them. They were both good, but the carnitas was excellent. Should have done both as carnitas! They came with a nice serving of rice and beans that were actually good! It's a big place right on Merrimon and like many restaurants on that street, parking is at a premium. There are like five spots on the side street right next to the building, but if you don't get one of those, you be walking either on the side street behind the building or across Merrimon. I was on the side street about two blocks behind the building at about 5:45pm. It's free parking, but plan accordingly. You may be walking a bit.

It is located on the corner of the indoor market. The market's walkway literally transects the dining room. What Los Gallos lacks in ambiance it more than makes up for in authentic kick ass tacos and tamales. My friend and I visited Los Gallos after we succesfuly located a copy of the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds starring Tom Cruise. This was victory food. We ordered two al pastor tacos and a tamale. The tacos were on point, double wrapped corn tortillas, and a solid helping of delicious pork. No frills, just solidly well prepared pork, onions, and cilantro. The tortillas were warm and tender. The tacos were good, but the tamale was GREAT. We missed out on the verde chicken tamale, as they had sold out by noon. We were happy to settle for the pork rojo one, which was still available. Los Gallos' tamale was bigger than most, and it was moist and airy. Dense dry tamales can take a hike, this thing was a golden brick of maize. The pork within was nice chunks of slow cooked meat, not some sort of macerated filling... oh man, I can't get over how awesome this tamale was. The best part? Tamales are $1.50. I think everyone loves finding a new spot, a hidden gem that offers an out of this world food item, and Los Gallos is just that spot! Furthermore I have to mention their avocado salsa which is neon green, and the most delicious salsa I think I've ever had. I know I get excited about things regularly... but Los Gallos... Los Gallos is worth driving to Fletcher for. Word of caution, Los Gallos is only open on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am til 3 pm. This gives you a very small window of time to check this land of wonder out.

We both work in the travel and tourism field so we are constantly traveling and met up here while both were in the area. It was about 3:30-4pm (after 3:30 but not quite 4 yet when we were seated) We both ate and was having drinks while going over some future trips and tours and reviewing recently completed trips. At a few minutes after 5 I had a local errand I had to run in the area across from the parking lot of this establishment. I had dialogue with the waitress that I had to step out for 10 minutes or so and I would be ordering another drink and probably a to go plate when I returned. My colleague worked on his lap top while I ran my errand and before I could make it back the host approached him at the table stating "amigo I need this table I must ask you to pay and leave" It was SO rude and beyond bad customer service that it dove into completely and utterly unprofessional lunacy. I will never eat at a La Carretta here or any other location again!!!! Happy Cinco de Mayo in Marshall is WAY better anyway food! Service! And atmosphere! Oh and their salsa is much better! La Carretta's house salsa is bland and flavorless.

Margaritas are great as usual, Not sure I've ever really had a bad Margarita. As long as it has tequila, I'm a happy girl. All in all, this was a great stop and I would highly recommend.
