      I've been going to La Carreta for years. They are easily my favorite overall Mexicans restaurant in the greater ManchVegas area. To the point: food, drinks, ambiance and service are all very well done....what else is there to say!

      Oh yeah, quite affordable also.

      So check out La Carreta and Enjoy!

      My girlfriend and I stopped here for lunch. The first thing we both noticed was how amazingly decorated this restaurant was. The staff were great. We ordered a Mexican combination platter each and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back when we visit Manchester in the future.

      Popped in on Presidents day after a few other restaurant choices were closed upon arrival. We had a bartender that seemed like she needed a vacation. The espinaca dip was delicious and the accompanied chips were warm and fresh tasting. I opted for the El Jefe burrito that has chicken, chorizo, rice, cheese, and refried beans. It was very good but i thought it would be a lil bit bigger. My gf got the seafood enchiladas with shrimp and blue crap and she absolutely loved them. She said the corn tortillas were great and she wasnt sure she'd enjoy the crab but she loved it. The bar was kind of busy but kind of dead at the same time depending on the minute. Bathrooms were clean.

      Two strikes and we are out...

      Our last visit my husband and I found both of our fajita dishes overly salted.

      About 2 months later we decided to give this place another chance.

      He ordered steak fajitas and I ordered the fish tacos.

      We got table side guac (thank goodness) because it was quite a long wait from when we ordered to when our meals arrived. Table-side guac was 10/10.

      My husbands steak fajitas came as a mix of chicken & steak. Not the end of the world but once again overly salted making it inedible for him.

      I was disgusted by just the look of my fish tacos. Presentation 0/10. I have never had grilled fish that was dripping like this. Even with adding the pickles cabbage & chipotle mayo I could not continue to eat these.

      Oh I also had to ask for my missing rice and beans. I don't know what this is that came on my plate but these "beans" were soupy.

      There's absolutely no way we will ever return.

      Let's start with our waiter - spoke NO English then argued about a drink - he said (in who knows the language) that they didn't have a specific drink - THAT WAS ON THE MENU!!!!!

      We started with Nacho's - who puts a SLICE of a tomato (NOT diced) on top of the nachos? They were decent at best. The waiter didn't even bother bringing dishes - we put napkins down. The waiter was nowhere to be found.

      Dinner came out - it was decent.

      It's all about quality of the food, which was ok. The waiter made the experience really bad.

      We won't be back.

      I've been going to this location for 20 years, but this review will be only for this particular visit. The food was good, but service was a little lacking. Not terrible but maybe they were understaffed.
      Chips and salsa came out immediately and it was delicious as always. I could drink that stuff. Then it was a pretty long time before our server came by to take the drink orders. We had long finished the chips and salsa by the time our drinks came and I had been hoping to enjoy the queso fundido with my drink and before we ate all the chips.
      Then when the drinks came he took our food order so the appetizer (queso) got put in right with the entrees. Sure enough, the queso came out and then like 5 minutes later the entrees so the timing was a little rough. BUT I love it all so it wasn't a big deal. Loved the Corona-Rita! Never had one of those before and it was fun.
      Husband ordered the Seafood Enchiladas which had shrimp and blue crab. I had a couple of bites and it had a good flavor, but kind of a dry texture and there was just a lot of rice and not enough sauce to make everything stick together.
      My steak fajitas were great, and MASSIVE. I had like 2 other meals worth for leftovers that I took home.
