Yikes! We had high expectations due to the high rating and delicious looking pictures online…read more Unfortunately, the food we received (which was VERY expensive, by the way, and prices for most items were not on the menu) was subpar. We ordered the al pastor tacos with rice and beans, chicken tacos, asada tacos, and asada torta. The good stuff: service was friendly, the wait wasn't too long, and the portions were good (the torta was GIANT). The atmosphere outside would probably be nice at night (they have outdoor seating, tables, lights). The torta was the best thing we ordered, it was good! Unfortunately, all the meat we got was dry and unseasoned. In the torta it was masked by all the other ingredients, but all of the tacos are more simple, so the unseasoned meat couldn't be covered up. The pork on the al pastor was so dry and flavorless I couldn't force myself to take more than a couple bites. The rice and beans also tasted unseasoned and flavorless which was very disappointing. All of this wouldn't have been so disappointing if it wasn't extremely expensive (we are visiting from DC and even street tacos there are cheaper!). We were expecting high quality for a meal that was almost $70 total (9 tacos with one side of rice and beans, one torta, and a soda).

The parking lot was busy due to three restaurants in the same area but there was plenty of parking, despite some persons parking in completely ridiculous locations (like the fire lane). Upon entering, the hostess seated us at a large wooden table large enough for all of us. Our service was a team effort but all staff members were attentive and pleasant. Drinks remained full and due to the time it took to get our food (slow for a Mexican place) we ate way too many chips and salsa bc they kept bringing them. The business was busy but there was still room for persons walking in. They have both table and booth seating with Hispanic music playing overhead at a pleasant level. Our group ordered a wide array of food from quesadillas (shrimp and chicken), kids meals with soft tacos, nachos supreme, bowls, and tacos. I opted for the Patron taco special - 4 tacos with rice and beans (asada, Al pastor, carnitas and chicken). The portions were large and filling. A great meal for a group at a fair price.

At first glance, it seems like a hole in the wall establishment but the portions are huge, price is great and food is super tasty. My friends and I eat there regularly and have yet to be served something that was sub par.

Some of our favorites are their guacamole and queso, their steak fajitas and the fajita nachos. They also have great mixed drinks and a different beer special every day of the week. Definitely my favorite Mexican spot in town

One thing Lynchburg, Virginia, isn't hurting for is Mexican food, and Fiesta Tapatia is just one of…read morethe many options in the Lynchburg area. Fiesta Tapatia has all your traditional Mexican fare and a lot of their own unique creations. This was my second visit, and today I got the lunch cheesesteak. One thing I love about this place is that their entrees are always super flavorful and well prepared. The steak on my cheesesteak was just bursting with flavor, and the cheese sauce was creamy and savory. The grilled onions and peppers were perfect as well. The only thing keeping me from giving this restaurant a high score is the fact that the salsa isn't my cup of tea. On my first visit, I panicked because I didn't like the salsa, so I thought I wasn't going to like my meal either, but I was definitely wrong. I ordered the Carne el Charral and steak, shrimp and chorizo were all amazing! The entree was great. I do have to admit that the salsa was better on my second visit but still not my favorite in the Lynchburg area. I will definitely be coming back to the restaurant in the future. The staff is always kind and attentive, and the entrees are always tasty.

The cleaned and prep tables quickly after previous people left and they had the table / booth ready in a short time. They quickly got drinks and took orders as we were ready. They followed up for refills and the food came out quick. Food was hot when it arrived our table and portions were good. Their Texas Trio Fajitas platter was good and their individual soft steak taco "street" style were excellent. Place was clean. It was too noisy for me at the bar and tables in that area. Inside the restaurant section, still loud, but not as bad as the bar area. Prices are fair. Drinks are well poured and tasted good. Overall, La Carreta is a strong recommendation and we'll be back to this location. We tried other locations and this one is the best.
