I had a cheese enchilada, refried beans & rice. Had a side of chips & salsa. Husband had Jerry's open-faced burger with red and green chili. Both meals came with sopapillas. Everything was fabulous! Such a great way to get what felt like a true picture of Gallup, NM.

We were passing through Gallop at lunch time and remembered the delicious lunch at Jerry's we had…read morelast year while traveling through NM so decided to stop again. I don't believe they have a parking lot as we only found street parking. We arrived around 11:00am. There were about 4 parties ahead of us but were seated within 15 min. Janelle once again was our server. She is so friendly and efficient. Despite every table being filled, she finds a way to give attention to everyone and ensure they have everything they need. I decided to order Miguel's Delight again since I loved it so much last time. Chili relleno and chicken enchilada smothered with green & red chile and cheese and comes with a crisp beef taco. Served with rice, beans and sopaipilla & honey. $12.20. It was tasty and the price is very reasonable for all you get. I thought the chili relleno was a bit overcooked this time but it was still flavorful. We took the sopaipilla's home and they provided take out honey. They do have Coke Zero which I enjoy much more than Diet Coke. Another great stop. Staff is so friendly and the food is delicious comfort food.

It is sparsely furnished and decorated, but has tons of personality. The burritos are indeed 'huge' and all their menu items are very reasonably prices. We were served by a very nice young man who said it is his mother who does the cooking. They have great in-restaurant made salsas, too!

I traveled to NM 4-5 times for work for a couple of years ago and fell in love with the cuisine…read more My role at work changed and I unfortunately hadn't been able to visit in almost 3 years. So, as we drove across the country in our RV to try and mitigate Covid occurrences, I knew I had to stop. Knowing nothing about Gallup, I turned to Yelp to help me find handheld breakfast burritos along our path. La Carreta was the winner. And now we are as well! I hate that yelp reviews now include details surrounding Covid practices, but I will say La Carreta is one of the most prepared restaurant I have visited since lock down. I'm not sure if it's NM policy or just the restaurant themselves, but I was impressed. Immediately upon entering, I was prompted to sign in with my name, phone number or email, date and time of visit and if I had any symptoms. I was a little disappointed to see they had only one pen to sign. But, as soon as I turned to follow the path marked on the floor, I saw a large display with hand sanitizer! The counter had the usual plexiglass barrier and all employees I saw were wearing masks. Kudos to La Carreta on staying safe. Now, on to the burritos. Wow! Size to $ ratio already had me impressed. My wife was afraid the burritos might be small, based on the prices, but you can see from my pics, they are generously sized. I ordered a bacon egg burrito, christmas, hash browns, and cheese. My first few bites were a little underwhelming, but as I got deeper into the burrito (and the chile really), the flavors were so good. Plenty of salty bacon, complimented by mild, but pleasant heat from the chile, gooey melted cheese, balanced and filled out by the hash browns. Overall, La Carreta scratched the itch I've had since leaving NM breakfast burritos behind. I'd definitely recommend to any one passing through Gallup.

I asked the waitress about the salsa and she brought another small plastic cup of the same thing, but there were a couple of chile seeds in it. She explained that their salsa was made in a blender and that's why it is watery. The food took a long time to get to us and it lacked flavor. Not many restaurants are open on Sundays in Gallup.

Chile Relleno was a cheddar cheese, stuffed poblano lightly battered fried, a golden brown and smothered in red sauce - absolutely delicious as well as the refried beans and the rice.

It's just a big dining room put some plane tables and chairs and a two pieces of inexpensive art on the walls. But the server here was a delight, and the menu had several good choices.

My son got the combination platter and everything was deeeeeelicious except the rice. Neither one of us cared for the rice, and we both thought the salsa was just okay.
