Tacos are excellent, really brings the street tacos feel! I would recommend going earlier in the evening during the weekend before all the people that have been partying show up. read more

Fresh made corn tortillas. I've never had a bad meal here! Love their tacos de tripa and asada! Great salsa bar too!! Wish it was open everyday! read more

el fin de semana fui a comprar tacos con mi familia, los tacos muy buenos riquisimos pero el personal no muy amable, cuando ordené los tacos la mujer que estaba haciendo la orden estaba de mala gana, le hice una pregunta y nisiquiera volteo a verme a la cara, muy Mal servicio read more

Worst service ever the ladies at night are rude and don't even ask what I would like. if I ask question they are rude and laugh at me like if I'm stupid. Also the ladies is on her phone and touching the food talk about gross cell phone contains lot of bacteria. read more

Quick food, yummy, no AC, basically outside, It's a nice place if you really want a taco or burrito! read more

If I could give them a zero i would. They took a very long time to make the tacos. So many women working but slower than turtles. Then after getting my tacos they were so cold not even warm. To top it they were falling apart with only one tortilla instead of using 2. The meat is chopped in big chunkys instead of smaller and neater. Worse service and taco I've ever had. read more

Love this place so much! So delicious and perfect for a late night meal or snack. I come by every time I pass through Salem.

Some of the best tacos ive had in oregon. The tortillas are fresh, the salsas great, and the meat was incredible. I had 2 pastor and 1 tripa and its hard to find a place that comes close to matching the quality here read more

Wouldn't go back. Came here once ordered 4 carnita tacos. Parking lot is crazy. Some guy pulled up squeezed between two cars and scratched up a car. He seemed drunk. He reversed and just drove away. Crazy. We saw the ladies making the tortillas which I can appreciate and props to them but that is all that was good. We ending waiting about 40min and so disappointed when we got our tacos. None of the toppings already on it and the carnitas was so dry. Even with some onion and cilantro it was eh. La Guadalupana is where it's at but that place was closed when we drove by. read more

Amazing food. Their food is very tasteful. Their service is a bit slow so just come prepared to wait but definitely worth the wait! I love that they are open late and their ambiance is good. read more

LISTEN!!!! This place is shady!! check your receipts! When you pay check the amount they are charging! This past weekend they charge me $108 for two quesadillas in four tacos. When I went back to dispute the matter with them with proof, they still were hesitant about paying me back. When all was said and done, they sent my money back but then charged me $32.00 for the food I purchased, which was still an overcharge. You cannot tell me two quesadillas and four tacos cost $32.00 And just to make a point if my order was $32.00 how did they punch in $108 on the sale it doesn't add up if they accidentally added an extra zero it would've been $320 catch my drift it was not an accident!!!!! It's absolutely not OK!!!! read more

Tortillas made fresh to order. A bar of all the fixings, so you get as much or little cilantro and sauce, etc as you want?! Our favorite tacos around read more

Stopped at La Carreta de mi Tierra on our way to Portland and wow, the food is amazing! The tacos and militas are 100% authentic with hand made corn tortillas and a variety of salsas and extras like cucumber, radish, onion etc. My sister ordered a burrito and it was delicious as well. The place itself isn't the most attracting but it's clean and makes you feel like you're in Mexico. I would definitely recommend this place and will be back when traveling to Oregon again. read more

Mexican food in Oregon, especially in Salem, is some of the best in the state if not some of the best out west. For a small city that is home to a sizeable Mexican community, the food options are as divey as they are impressive, with the perfect prices for all working class patrons, and strictly visited by the community it supports. There is no better taco cart right now than La Carretta de Mi Tierra, i.e. "The Cart of my Land." Situated in a parking lot that is shared with the Gavin Food's convenience store, this gem sits beneath a tent like tarp where a family of 4-5 prep quality tacos throughout the evening. Someone will take your order, while someone else is simultaneously cooking your food on the grill, as someone else will pass along freshly made tortillas hot off the impression mold. After a douse of fixins along the counter, which you do apply yourself, it was time for the taste test. A juicy, delectable bite of their carnitas taco, and I was hooked. The softness of the homemade tortilla practically melted with the meat and the tanginess of the accompanying salsas left my tastebuds wanting more. Best of all, each taco was only $1.50. Another taco, the same foodgasmic-eyerolling-mouth-steaming reaction, only this time it was an incredibly tasty lengua (cow tongue). The meat was like butter, which means the lengua was cooked perfectly. Even the chorizo and asada tacos were beyond bomb - they straight up delicious. When the impression from the taste still lingers to this day, it means the juicy food was worth it. The late night crowd will almost always be completely Mexican. As the only Chinito of the bunch, I managed to get away with blending in the crowd as I ferociously devoured all of my food. I am not saying there will be any gringo stigma, but be prepared to stand out, especially if you're not a Spanish speaker. While I'm sure English would be just fine, I can't truly vouch for it because I haven't seen it done before. Just let the bills do the talking, as this spot is strictly cash only. There isn't much in Salem that I can truly look forward to on a food front, but after experiencing multiple highs on their delicious home cooked tacos, this little carreta is definitely part of mi tierra and mi corazon. I'm proud to write about this in review #2300 and can't wait to go back to experience it all over again. read more

One of my favorite taco carts and as a night owl or just an owl that I am they're open late until 3am most nights. So it's very owl friendly in that regard. Anyway this is one of maybe 3 or 4 taco shops I frequent but always on the hunt as I found this place very recently. read more

Best tacos in town Best quesadillas as well thats why Ive been going here for the past few years!! They close around 2/3am on the weekends And they have plenty of seats Plenty of drinks to chose from as well! Go check em out cash and debit accepted. read more

Great burritos! Somewhat limited hours evenings from Thurs-Sunday if I'm correct. Don't miss out on their freshly handmade tortillas and ample homemade salsas! read more

Very rude, and will over charge u. Also rude enough to lie to you and not serve you food because the color of your skin only go if you're full Mexican. read more

This place is SO GOOD. Best tortillas, by far, in town. It can get packed but worth the wait on a busy weekend. I've ever gotten a bad dish, I'm a huge fan of the carne asada tacos. You also can't go wrong with the gringa (grilled cheese in between tortillas and meat). My husband gets the sopes often and they are quite delicious as well. They have a large selection of meat choices to choose from. They also have a heated sitting area outside. The parking is a bit jammed if they are busy but I've always been able to find a parking spot. read more

Greasy al pastor, and dry carne asada. I was expecting good tacos, what a let down. Hopefully it was just a bad night for them. read more

Don't be deceived by what you see, this place has some tasty tacos! They make the tortillas right on the spot, followed with the meats you order! The lengua was very good and I'm pretty picky with lengua. The carnitas were a little dry but they still had enough flavor to be god :) my husband had the buche and he said they were spot on. Then Alpastor was by far my favorite! Not to greasy and you could get hints of pineapple. Also loved the salsa bar, you can get whatever you like for your tacos! They also had Aqua fresca, but I didn't get to try it! Next time! read more

4.5/5 Homemade corn tortillas pressed right before your very eyes. Asada and Tripas are my favorites. Lengua, Carnitas, and Chorizo pretty good as well. Burrito comes with rice, beans, sour cream, cheese, pico, and your choice of meat. Lots of salsas and condiments to choose from. The avocado one is my favorite. Tacos $1.50 (1 tortilla) Burritos $7.00 read more

La Carreta de Mi Tierra - Big Ass Carne Asada Burrito - Food Stands Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Tried it out because our normal spot was closed. I wanted to like it. Unfortunately I am not a fan of this place at all. Some of the smallest tacos I've ever gotten for the price and they weren't even very good. Any other time ive paid $2.50 for tacos they've been almost twice the size. The chicken burrito was... acceptable-ish....but was 2-3 dollars more than most places for the same thing. I don't think I'll be back here, I'll stick to the place down the road. read more

The tacos and the sope here were delicious! It's nice being able to load them with as many toppings as I want after receiving them. You can watch the food being made right in front of you and it just makes you hungrier. read more

I ORDERED 4 ASADA BURRITOS and 1 torta and I got them home and the burritos were just stuffed full of rice. I am willing to remove this post if I am reimbursed. 39.50. I am very upset read more

First time visiting. I liked that she makes the shells from the dough right in front of you. That's fresh! Really pleased with this place, will return again and hopefully add another star once I try a burrito. read more

Excellent!!! Found this place by chance and glad we did. I had the tacos, carne asada. Just going to the "salsa bar" made these tacos over the top. I love cilantro and onions but they also have pico de gallo with nopales. Don't forget to try the sauteed onions and chilies that they are cooking up right there. Did I mention homemade tortillas and salsa too? If you are missing your mam's home cooking come here!!! If you order a burrito be prepared because they are HUGE. read more

Oh yeahs 5 stars for sure. Tacos on point and homemade tortillas in front of you. Best tacos in Oregon. Carnitas pastor asada and more. read more

Authentic, hot and tasty. My first time trying sopes and it did not disappoint. I'd come back anytime I'm in the area.

Step one: order your tacos. Step two: watch the lovely lady press the freakin corn tortillas for your tacos and griddle them TO ORDER!! Step three: get your food and jazz it up how you like from a really great variety in their large salsa and condiment bar over by the seating area. Sit and enjoy! Best tacos in Salem, hands down. read more

Best Burritos!!!! Great price for the portion, love their beef tortas. We every other weekend either for breakfast or dinner. Highly recommend. read more

The BEST! Tacos are DELISH and the people working there are friendly. Covered seating if desired.

I finally found the spot for great tacos in Salem. I been trying many place since arriving here from Los Angeles, and I happen to stumble by this place after a few years of searching. I notice that it didn't have that many review in Yelp, but thanks to a couple of reviews I just had to take a change. "La Carreta" is in the same lot as the tires shop. My wife was hesitant at first from the looks of the place, but we sat down. I had a couple of tacos with different meats and a "mulita" (two handmade tortillas with cheese and meat in the middle). The tortillas are hand made, and the "masa" use for tortillas seem to be from yellow corn which makes a different on the taste. My wife had the "sope" which she loved. The sale a really good "Chapurado". It's a hot drink which I will describe as a hot coco chocolate. If you never had this drink before you need to try it here. To place your order will have to walk up to "La Carreta" and let the "taquera" know what you want. The service was friendly. I'm really happy that I have a spot for tacos.I'm so excited that I'm planning to have a taco night added to my week. They do take credit cards with Square but they have a convenience charge. I didn't see a schedule on Yelp so I asked: Here is the schedule Monday: Closed Tuesday: 4pm to 3am Wednesday: 4pm to 3am Thursday: 4pm to 3am Friday: 1pm to 3am Saturday: 1pm to 3am Sunday: 1pm to 3am I love this place... The food is great and the people are friendly. I just recently took a few of my coworkers to try it out. They enjoy the food and taste. The taco bar is full of extras to add to your taco that you could customize your taco as desire. I highly recommend this taco place. All The metas are great; my favorite is the sudadero and lengua. read more

This place is pretty fantastic! The burritos are the best I've ever had and they're consistent. Salem needs more restaurants with this kind of outstanding quality. Este es sinceramente el mejor lugar en donde comer en Salem. ¡Los burritos son de lo mejor! read more

Having been to Mexico City many times and eating street food, this place caught my attention immediately. Anywhere there is a line, your sure to find great food. Plus....all Spanish speaking clientele is also something I'm always looking for. These two things plus a cook who never stops moving and is happy? What more can you ask for? Can I give them six stars..? read more

Are you kidding me? Food this fantastic at a sketchy looking food cart next to an even sketchier looking tire shop? I think this must be what authentic Mexican food is all about. This place is completely out of the way and a pain to get to from I-5. Stop here anyhow. You won't be sorry. read more

I'm not easily impressed, but the tacos are so delicious. Very authentic. For a minute I thought I was at a taco shop in Mexico. Hands down, best tacos in Salem!!! read more

The tacos were good when we ate here last weekend but I wouldn't make an effort to come again.
