Excellent, the fajita chicken burritos were the best we've ever ate. It was very pallet pleasing.

We went for dinner with the family. The food was average. The chips and salsa were good. We enjoyed the cheese dip. I got the Diablo shrimp which was flavorful and spicy. My husband got the enchiladas which she said were OK. My daughter got the kids grilled chicken, which was the star of the meal. It was very flavorful! The service was extremely mediocre. Our server seemed distracted. The atmosphere was fun, with lots of colors and paintings/designs. read more

Such a cute little place on the side of the road that looked like it used to be something else prior to a Mexican restaurant. The drinks were super yummy! I got a Strawberry Margherita and my boyfriend got the Lime. The serbice was very friendly and the food was just as good. Lots of flavor and GREAT prices. Super affordable! read more

Well, where do I even start with this place? I'll begin with the restrooms -- they were some of the worst I've seen, absolutely unpleasant. The place overall feels very overwhelming. There are drawings and bright colors everywhere -- on the chairs, tables, walls, even the menu. There's not a single spot without something going on. In my opinion, it's just too much. The service, without exaggeration, was just okay. As for the food, I have mixed feelings. The flavors were decent, but everything felt a bit over the top. Guacamole is one of my favorites, but here it had a strange taste. The person I was with mentioned it had cucumber (I didn't notice it myself), but it definitely wasn't to my liking. The presentation of the dishes was probably the highlight, but the flavors didn't really win me over... everything felt a bit too excessive. read more

Got sick after eating here will never go back very dirty and poor ratings for the health department

I love Mexican restaurants, and this one was very good. The complimentary tortilla chips were warm, super thin and crispy, and the salsa was good too. We ordered Carnitas which was a generous serving of roasted pork, refried beans, and Mexican rice with warm soft and chewy tortillas. The Pork was delicious and perfectly cooked and seasoned. Catherine was our server and she was friendly and efficient. We would come back again. read more

Door dashed and everything was great. Nicely packaged and labeled. Veggie quesadilla was tasty and husbands chicken nachos were enjoyable.

Terrible. We didn't even get to sit down because the two people at the front, a lady and a man were looking at us weird instead of speaking to us. They lack customer service. We are here on vacation trying to enjoy ourselves and surround ourselves with new food, but instead we got nothing but a disgusting look. read more

Authentic! Party of seven. We had the burritos, tacos, tostados, ACP pineapple, taco bowls, hot wings, churros, and of course some libations. Very good! Will definitely return. Special thanks to our host, Narno, Thank you! read more

Needs to improve in food quality! Not real authentic Mexican food. More of a Gringo friendly environment. Ordered Burrito Mexicano and came with 2 shrimps, a little bit of steak and chicken. Plus burrito was wrapped twice around and lacked cheese dip. No sides with this burrito either just a bunch of lettuce and sour cream on the side. 15 dollars down the drain! read more

We stopped in for lunch due to the amount of cars in the parking lot. La Carreta did not disappoint. Our server was very attentive from the get go. We asked a hundred questions and he answered with delight. Food was very tasteful and abundant. I was hungry so I ate all of mine but the wife had leftovers. The ambience was friendly but the establishment can use a little freshening paint. Will go back and recommend !! read more

Food was good, the restaurant was a mess with tables full of empty plates and such, and the flies were so bad. Good semi-authentic Mexican food! read more

We were looking for something to eat near the wilderness of the smokies. We stumbled upon this restaurant mainly because of its late hours. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and flavor. The street tacos were delicious, the portions were perfect and the service was excellent. I'd definitely give this place a try. read more

I'm so happy I finally tried this spot! I've been here twice in the last month and the food has been amazing on both occasions! The guacamole was made fresh and was a good portion size for sharing between two people. It was perfect after we added in a squeeze of lime and salt. Both meals I've tried came out in a timely manner and tasted fantastic! The churros were good as well. The servers were attentive the entire time! No complaints at all after our visits! read more

We've tried a few other Mexican restaurants in this area & this is your must stop for Mexican in Pigeon Forge! We had quick service and great food! Loved the chips and salsa. Loved the #10 combo with mushroom enchiladas and the chimichanga lunch special. We will definitely be back when we visit next! read more

The staff is fantastic. The food was terrible. We are from So. Calif. and this it not authentic mexican food. I asked for a bean and cheese burrito....easy enough? I got a tortilla folded with a layer of beans like you would butter your bread....then they put that white cheese sauce over the top. It was terrible. The little beans that were on there were runny. My husband had a meat burrito and he said the meat had no flavor. We paid our bill and left and will not be back and will not recommend this place. Again, the staff and service were great. read more

Was your typical Mexican restaurant, bright and colorful inside, was a little noisy with the TVs on, but staff were friendly and service was quick. Even though they had a party of around 60 people in the back room, the food was still coming out for the front of house guests promptly. Prices were around $35 a couple so that's a good point also. read more

We were out looking for a Mexican restaurant while on vacation and came upon this place. I only have great things to say! The service was fantastic! I love good salsa and this was by far some of the best I've ever had. The food was hot and absolutely delicious. This is our new spot when we are on vacation! read more

Great food, service and prices. Loved the decor and courteous staff. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Came her for $1 Tuesday tacos. Dirt cheap but very low quality. Hardly anything in tacos. Meat was not well seasoned. Taco Bell is better. I ordered chorizo cheese dip. Real low quality minimal chorizo in some cheese that didn't taste great. Cheap chorizo made it very greasy. I wouldn't recommend this. Chips and salsa was just okay, Service was disorganized. I wish I didn't waste a meal at this place - much better Mexican places around make this place a pass. read more

Okay! So I know this is our fav Mexican AND it is just below our house but no kidding, the guys here are the hardest working of any of the Mexican restaurants around. The food is always reliable and the margaritas are always on point! If you want local food, this is it. It seems like it's mostly we locals that frequent this restaurant. This is NOT a tourist trap, just good, honest, Mexican at great prices with no touristy gimmicks. If we didn't split our time between TN and FL you wouldn't be able to pry us out of this place! Top marks as always gentlemen. read more

We received a recommendation to this place from our tour guide earlier in the day. Margaritas were fantastic and not too sour at all. Food was decent, overall. This definitely seemed like the best spot after looking at different options in the area and we weren't disappointed. They have plenty of space, great options for kids, and our server was great and on top of it the whole time! read more

The chicken tacos are my fave here! Great food and the cheese dip is sooooo good! Salsa is also good and the chips are thick so they do not break easy while dipping. Shrimp fajitas are like crack and I cannot get enough of them. They stay busy so expect some delay but worth the wait. They also have Taco Tuesday where the beef and chicken tacos are $1 each. read more

Pass. The menu was dirty. A bad sign from the start. The chips tasted burned or the fry oil needed replacing. We ordered enchiladas special. Four enchiladas. They were ok. The beef one was cooked ground beef. Yuch. Also ordered ala cart burrito. Same cooked ground beef. The flan was very good. The receipt was one you'd expect to get at a hardware store. Not itemized. Ordered a tequila sunrise. Had to have them add grenadine because there was none in it. We had higher hopes. Won't be going back. read more

I have been going here since I was little and I have never had a bad experience. This place has the best salsa and cheese dip EVER. The service is always amazing and all of the servers are always so nice. The place from the outside, it looks un expecting but it's so cute on the inside! Will continue to go here forever and ever read more

Hands down the best Mexican food in the pigeon forge Sevierville and Gatlinburg area. Friendly service, great atmosphere, the La Carreta dip is a must have appetizer. I haven't tried anything I haven't lIked but the Nachos La Caretta are out of this world. Definitely have a margarita, they are wonderful!!! I'm a local and they always recognize us when we come in, we loved the staff such wonderful folks!! read more

Shows a 93 on its health report but it's not what i would call a "clean" restaurant. The food was pretty good but not up to the standards of our normal Mexican restaurants we visit. This is a tourist town with tourist restaurants I suppose. We visited this place because we wanted to try something new, and it was, just not that great. I don't know what the other Mexican restaurants are like in town but I guess we will try them next time we are in town. I had the chicken chimichangas which were pretty good, but only got a thimble of guacamole which was not that great. read more

The best Mexican Restaurant I have ever been to! Service was a little slow and forgetful but not unusual for the labor shortages everyone has right now. The food was very tasty and hot. They have the best queso! Margaritas were strong and delicious. This place hit the spot! read more

Stopped in for dinner because of the good reviews of the food. There were a few reviews that said the restaurant was dirty, BS- this was a very busy night and the waitstaff was short on people and they were running around like crazy yet still managed to bring out amazing tasting food very quickly with a very friendly attitude even though they were short staffed. The food was excellent you should definitely stop in for some authentic Mexican food read more

Amazing food service and food price they were all so nice. I devoured my food..its a keeper and so so so so very good i got the no.6 for lunch and i could not finish. They are located in Sevierville Tennessee go check it out amazing food good service and nice Mexican music I was not crowded or nervous it was perfect the ambience was amazing . read more

Oh my goodness... Where do I even begin?! First, lets start this review off on a positive note - the service was great! Our waiter was very kind and managed to give us great service despite the mild language barrier (as expected at any real Mexican restaurant). He answered all our questions and kept the chips and salsa coming. The salsa was pretty good. It wasn't too thick but it wasn't watered down like some Mexican restaurants like to do either. Now for the not-so-positive portion of this review: Have you ever found yourself staring at your plate wondering why the shrimp in your quesadilla tastes like they were marinated in mop water? Well, that's exactly what I found myself pondering after about 2-3 bites of my food. There seemed to be no seasoning at all used on the shrimp, the queso, or anything else they put in the tortilla. This was the first time I ever actually felt my tastebuds dying of boredom. As you can see from the picture I posted, my entire family of 4 ( 2 kids & 2 adults) were unsuccessful in eating our food. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If the end of the world came and there were a bunch of post-apocalyptic Mexican restaurants (with limited resources) trying their best to mimic past authentic Mexican dishes... then this restaurant might be a 3 star. You KNOW you've had a bad experience when your entire family agrees to go to TacoBell AFTER having spent $33 at an allegedly "authentic Mexican restaurant" - dine at your own risk! read more

Great food, good salsa and margaritas, friendly service and fun mariachi music in the background

We think this is the best Mexican restaurant around! All of the food is really good and the staff is super friendly. Our favorites include the inexpensive "A B C P" (grilled chicken covered with cheese and beans and rice); the super shrimp casadia, the special la casa (beef tips burrito covered with cheese - lunch portion is one, dinner is two) and the taco express (lunch menu). They do not have as large of a selection as some other mexican restaurants, but the food is much better! Their salsa is particularly good - not too chunky, but it's not tomato paste either. If you want to add some heat to your meal, ask for their hot "tomatillo" sauce - it'll warm things up a bit. read more

The staff was friendly. We had good service. The complimentary salsa looked and tasted like it was made from canned tomatoes,with cilantro onion and a few spices tossed in. I had Steak tacos that were served on flour tortillas instead of corn, it was ok. My wife had enchiladas, they came out Luke warm with the cheese barely melted. The restaurant overall looked like it could use a good cleaning read more

Delighted to find a local Mexican restaurant that has it all. Great food, excellent prices, wonderful ambiance, and friendly service.

Best real Mex food in Eastern TN. A local favorite. A huge menu and great desserts. Outdoor seating available.

Service was excellent. The server brought us new drinks before we were even finished with the first ones. Food came out very fast. All our food was excellent. My kids ate everything on their plates. Highly recommended for quick authentic Mexican food. read more

Great authentic Mexican place. Service was great . Great sweet tea too! I know that's not Mexican but I like good sweet tea. Entrées were very filling and the three Zoe was awesome. Sorry about the spelling. They also have outside seating if the mood strikes you. read more
