Now, I didn't know that this market was connected to the one in rosedale, but is the same amazing bakery the same amazing meats, the same amazing Mexican rice. I love this place because it's in the corner in a neighborhood and it's the neighborhood that I live in. I run here to get a quick sour cream or real quick cheese. Anything I need for making dinner that I have forgotten. But they do have the best meats. This is a smaller version of the store in rosedale. So the bakery portion isn't that big so you gotta get there early when it's Fresh. Try the corn cornbread or bread pudding or flan that's in the fridge. You will never complain. Soooo good. read more

Great service most of the time, good meat options and okay salsas . Unfortunately the last few times the asada has been thick and extremely hard to chew. Their meat used to be fall apart. Not sure what's going on with both locations. They also offer fresh produce. Personally would just stay away from their tamales, all maza, no meat (see picture). read more

Delicious, as usual. I got the carne asada fries and substituted shredded cheese for nacho cheese. My husband got the Wednesday special, quesa birria tacos, and thought they were pretty good but could have had a little more meat. We will definitely go back again for more delicious food. read more

You get a free small salsa when you check in! My corner market never disappoints me. Whenever I need some marinated carne asada meat or if I need a few fresh ingredients for some impromptu tacos at home, I can always stop by and La Carniceria has exactly what I need. The place is always clean and it's satisfying to see when the case of meats are always packed and supply is ready to meat the demand of the masses. read more

I've been supporting this family owned business since they opened in 1999. Both of the pollo and asada preparada are very well seasoned! Everything else is good quality and locally sourced. They are busy and still cater to your personal needs. The true essence of a small carniceria. Friendly and great customer service. read more

Best meat in town ! Avocado sauce has to be the best ! Good. Variety . If wanting meat go early as they do sell out fast. 10/10 service nice and speedy. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get meat, especially for Carne Asada and chicken. Whenever I have a barbecue at my house, whether it's for the Super Bowl or any other event, this is my go-to shop. I love stopping by to pick up fresh-cut meat, as they provide quality products every day. That's why I always come here to order my barbecue supplies. This place is definitely my top spot! read more

Best meat market around that I've gone too. Meats can be a little expensive at times but if you're buying carne para asar or chicken taco meat I definitely recommend this place it won't disappoint. read more

BEWARE: Went in today around 2-3pm to get 3lbs of carne asada meat ranchera and 2lbs prepared chicken to grill. I got my two items at the same time and told the guy that that was it. I made line and paid for my items and left home. Once i got home i put my meat in the fridge to cook it later. Around 6:20pm i was getting ready to grill ny food when i opened the meat package i saw it was not ranchera. I looked at the label and saw it read diesmillo prepared i was livid i was upset. I called the store to see if i could return my item or exchange it for the right product. LET ME TELL YOU THEIR customer service/store manager whatever the guy was/is was just not understanding. I get it we live in times where coronavirus has changed store policies i understand that i get it. But when your employee messes up on my order and rather than making a situation better you just dismiss my concern. Anyways long story short in stead of the guy offering something in return for their fuck up he just stated that i should be more cautious and look at my item to make sure its right before buying!. Not only that but they have a sign saying no more than 10 people yet they have like 30 people not including workers in that building. You're telling me because you guys fucked up on my order you guys wont accept it cause of coronavirus yet yall font follow your social distancing rules that are posted in your store...... ok Anyways the guy didnt resolve anything rather was dismissive and seemed like he didnt care. My friend over heard the conversation and was appalled and said shes never going there again. Like i said there were different ways he couldve gone about this situation but he didnt Either way there are better places with better quality and prices. read more

This place is amazing, meats are always fresh, people are friendly and respectful. Ambience is very welcoming. I have been going to this place for over a year now, I recommend this place. Diego, one of the managers goes out of his way to help his customers. Keep up the great work!! read more

This place used to have good service, good meat, good food and good workers but over the years this place has gone to shit and I'm pissed off. We buy chicken because it's good the seasoning in delicious but they price the chicken ridiculously expensive like what the fuck is wrong with you guys. Not to mention on nights that there's fights like when canelo fights, or sports events like the Super Bowl they over price the marinated meats and they don't season them like they used to. They get stingy as hell with the seasoning and when we ask them to add more they say no it will be salty. I don't buy seasoned meat no or chicken no more because 2 days later it smells rancid and I throw it away. If you want better meat and quality at a better price and seasoned really well I highly suggest Rainbow market the marinated chicken is delicious. I'm just disappointed in la carreta because I've been goin there for years but I will no longer go there anymore due to the lack of service and poor food quality. read more

The food is top tier quality and prices used to be great, but store has been gentrified making prices sky high. If you have money to burn come here. read more

My husband waited in line for 10 mins patiently to place his order. The butcher could clearly see him waiting and as other customers walked in the butcher told him to move to the back of the line. He was there before these other customers. The tone and attitude they gave him was uncalled for but I've had the same experience at the Rosedale location. Train your butchers on better customer service. Definitely not going back! read more

Los carniceros le faltan el respeto a los clientes. Se estaban burlaron de mi en frente de mi porque pensaron que no hablaba español. Se estaban burlando entre ellos diciéndose "Chavela y Chavelo" solo porque traía unas gafas de sol. Aparte son unos viejos asquerosos en todos los sentidos. Contraten gente más respetuosa! read more

The little spot for quick go-tos and for when the father asks for birote and carnitas. The ladies and gents are attentive and treat my mama well! read more

After me and my husband tried the carne asada taco meat here and cooked it at home, I seriously don't even care about seasoning my own taco meat anymore. They have tons of other meats here, but we mainly come for the carne asada and the pastor. If you have a street taco craving and you don't feel like going out, definitely come by and grab some of their meat to cook at home and you won't be disappointed. Don't speak Spanish? Don't worry, I don't either haha they are really friendly here and they will help you out. They are Yelp friendly here people... Check in and you get a small free salsa for free and all their salsas are the bomb! It gets pretty busy inside, but the lines do move quickly so don't be alarmed when you see the lines out the door. Now I'm regretting writing this review because all of a sudden I'm craving tacos... Hahah... Bomb! read more

Came to see what the big was was about... I walked in and wasn't even greeted in english or spanish. The people behind the counter behind the meat didn't even turn around . I walked around the store to see what they had and the prices.I didn't see anything that caught my eye.Anyways i hope other people have a better experience. read more

I love the birria and menudo, home made food! Also the customer service is great! Love love love

Awesome fast prompt and attentive service. Always fresh meat and good quality that you can taste. I could eat from here every day if it's an option. Some of the best buche and carnitas sold only on the weekend and the salsa for chips is the best. read more

This is the best Mexican meat market in town. Their products are fresh and the quality is outstanding. I've been coming here for years. I would drive all the way across town just to get their marinaded carne asada and chicken. Their salsas and guacamole is delicious and fresh. These guys know what they're doing! If you're ever in the mood for delicious Mexican style meats and prepared chicken, then you must try La Carreta! read more

Hello I'm an African-American I want you to store that store in particular and I asked him some talk with me unaware he gave me the highest price and once he packaged it up I seen the other price that was less I asked him why you give me that he said because it's better and I also said the price is higher I will never go there again read more

Very clean Meat Market , it doesn't smell like other meat markets there are not clean. They always have great service and great food.

I love this place BUT ordering at the meat counter is always difficult. Today they gave me the wrong meat. I asked for pork to make Chile verde and when I started to prepare to cook it said pork shoulder bones or something. I thought ok it has a few bones. No it was a bunch of weird fatty bones. Dinner ruined. I'm done with this place. read more

So far the best marinate asada in Bakersfield Also recommend the rice & beans with the freshly Made salsa. read more

I remember growing up my mom used to go to the local market who had butchers, you don't see that in today's grocery stores. I think the last one I really saw in that fashion was State Market in Delano before the Young family sold it. I know Vallarta does it but it is just not the same for me but when I found La Carreta, it immediately reminded me of the one my mom used to go to in Earlimart. La Carreta is small but not entirely quaint, their butchers are always friendly and offer recommendations if you look like you haven't made a choice. Though the majority of the language here spoken is Spanish I've never felt out of place when ordering. They offer a variety of groceries and some pastries like conchas and bollilo bread too. Most of our visits is buying taco meat, whether it is beef, chicken or pork, the price per pound is always reasonable and prepared with spices that is delicious when cooked. They offer both seasoned and non-seasoned meat of all cuts, chorizo and pork skin. We most recently purchased a party pack of meat for a party we had, 33 pounds of meat (different cuts of meat) for $80, you will not be able to do that at a Walmart, WinCo or FoodMaxx. The service here is also excellent, it could be packed with a line swarming through the small store and still be out within 5-10 minutes. They are just so efficient at what they do, never been a time I left annoyed or disappointed with them. They have all the essentials for tacos too, chopped onions, red and green salsas, fresh veggies and of course tortillas. You like beer with your tacos like I do? They sell that too along with 2-liter sodas and more. One last thing, the place is super clean and that is very crucial for a place like La Carreta. I've never seen a fly inside, that is amazing too because people are just constantly coming in and leaving. read more

I have been coming to this place for many years and have seen this place growing in popularity and variety but one thing is very constant which is the quality . I never ever had bad experience with them . They are fast and today is an example how efficient they are . There was a huge crowd and I was out in less than 5 minutes with my purchase . You can NOT go wrong at this place. They can teach many places to run a smooth business with quality customer care and maintaining the standard . read more

11.99 a pound for Taco meat. No social distancing in such a small store. The chicken taco meat was cheaper but still way over priced. Yes its Harris ranch but Wood Dale was actually cheaper and maintained social distancing with yellow tape blocking certain aisles. read more

This is ridiculous they raise the price a lot $11.09 lb wow! You guys are taking advantage of the situation
