I come here once every time I am in Jamestown. I prefer over the normal spots they have around town (AB's , MCD's, BK). It's probably the best liquor option in town as well. Service was good for me as well. Nice look on the inside, may need an update in the bathrooms but it's my go to. read more

La Carreta Mexican Restaurant - Fajita Fajitas Rodeo - Mexican Near Me - Jamestown, North Dakota

I ordered Caldo de pollo (chicken souo)to go. When I got back to my conference to eat the soup was terrible. The worst sup ever. It had rice, stripps of chicken with avocado. Who eats hot avocado . Being for Los Angeles , California and have tried several Mexican restaurants in North Dakota this one was awful. read more

No chips and salsa till you have to ask for them! Give me a fkn break lol! Bad service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad tacos! Bad menudo! (I'm sure some of the food is great. Not what we order.) They DON'T bring you what you order and yet still want to charge you for it, how pathetic lol. I'll give the pastor tacos a solid 3.5 Bad food and bad service ruins a lunchtime meal. read more

Ambiance ok, Mexican music playing, decor ok. The service ok. Omg the food, I ordered a tamale, rice& beans. We'll the rice n beans were good but the tamale was not. I didn't ask for nor was I informed that it was going to be "deconstructed". It had only 2 small bits of masa, taco meat added with a hint of chicken. So disappointing I had to ask the server, was that a chicken tamale you served me, he said yes. Incredible, but I did eat some of it as I like taco meat (beef). No apologies, should not have happened, could have just told thru had no tamales I would have a chicken burrito. Not going back....ever. read more

Service was good. Food arrived hot and tasted great. Authentic Mexican , freshly made. Good portions and price. Nice seating area.

The food was average. The Service wasn't the greatest. I'd give it another try in the future. read more

La Carreta Mexican Restaurant - #43 - Mexican Near Me - Jamestown, North Dakota

The food was good, as were the margaritas. They were medium busy, but the service was spotty, so much so that the manager had to serve us a couple of times. read more

I entered this hole in the wall restaurant and was promptly seated and given a menu, service is desirable, ordered a drink and finally my meal the Tbone, which was overcooked and lucky to be 1/4 inch thick, finished my meal and waited finally the waiter came by and I asked for my check, watched my waiter service at least 4 other tables and still no check, when he came by I told him I was waiting on my check, and he finally informed me to go to the register, he could of least informed me that there is no check instead of just letting me sit there for what seemed like an eternity. If you can't handle a restaurant that wasn't even packed hire more help read more

Maybe I'm spoiled coming from San Diego area. Didn't know how to make a Cadillac margarita, he did make one which was just ok. Food was TERRIBLE and incorrect! I ordered 2 cheese enchiladas, thank goodness they only brought one!! Took one bite! I don't know what was substituted for cheese! The beans have a terrible grainy texture! Wish someone would open a real Hispanic restaurant in N Dakota! read more

Top-notch customer service. Entire wait staff is attentive and friendly. Food was good, lots of menu items and everyone at our table had something different and it all thought was fresh and came out relatively quickly. Going to be back here more often when I am in Jamestown. read more

I used to live in Jamestown and loved La Carreta. This past weekend I was in town for a conference and went there with my service dog (he had his vest on). I received the rudest service. My dog is well-trained and super friendly. I get that some people don't like dogs but this was extreme. They seated me in a dark booth back away from the main section. The girl who brought out my chips looked at my service dog like he was a demon (he's an Aussie) and stood as far back as she could to put the food on the table. My service dog was lying quietly on the floor next to me so there was no reason for her behavior. The salsa was horrible - it tasted like ketchup with some spice added and not in a good way. When I finally got my food they failed to bring me any silverware. I had to flag down a girl clearing tables a while later to get silverware and napkins. I would have liked another drink as I'd finished my margarita well before my meal appeared. I would have liked a box to take the leftovers but nobody bothered to check on me after they delivered the food. In fact, nobody came back into that area at all. I finally gave up and went and paid my bill and left. I left no tip because the service was so horrible !!! Not sure if the horrible service is normal now or if it was because I had a service dog with me. read more

Stopped here while passing through Jamestown. Have heard good things from other people. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I chose Arroz Con Mariscos. It was terrific. I would definitely get it again. It has boiled shrimp and scallops served on a bed of Spanish rice covered with a white cheese sauce. There is also lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole on the side. It was a huge serving but I finished it all. The food came out quickly and hot. There is a lot of room to maneuver in a wheelchair. I can't wait to get back to try more items on the menu. read more

Fast and nice service:) Yummy (little bit over salted and salsa is watery) Cheap and portions are big! read more

Lã Carreta is directly across the street from my hotel Quality Inn and Suites. I almost skipped this place because of self-centered rookie yelpers from previous reviews. Due to the word of mouth from a satisfied guest from my hotel I decided to eat here the following day. I ordered the Rodeo Fajitas it was tasty and it is enough to share for two. I saved mine for two meals. I'm from San Diego which probably has better Mexican food than your city and I would come back to Lã Carreta. Come give them a try. Their low ratings does not justify the quality of their food. read more

New in the last year. Good to have another choice of Mexican in Jamestown. Went for lunch with my Dad when i was in town. Food was hot and service was good. Food was OK but a ND version of Mexican Food. The space was decorated appropriately and clean. read more

Soooooooo good. So much better than *cough* other places *cough* in town. Get the carnitas! The boyfriend says "truley authentic". Great service. read more

We are there last night. Everything was watery. Refried beans were total water. Awful chimichang's too. Didn't even get an I'm sorry. Never going there again. read more

I stopped through here about a week ago, but I'm just getting around to posting right now. I had the steak tacos. The steak itself was fantastic and I could have happily eaten a meal with just. Not too spicy and perfectly grilled. The tacos themselves were a beautiful mixing of flavor. My mom has the enchilada, and she loved hers. This meal was really great. The salsas are a nice spice level if you ask me. It is hotter, so that was a bit too much for my mom. Like I said though, I thought it was perfect. It's my favorite place to stop at in Jamestown. I'm a big big fan. read more

I eat here at least every other month Juan knows my order the minute I walk in the door friendly atmosphere great food

On a recent visit we ordered the shrimp quesadilla and burrito californiano. The quesadilla was swimming in the cheese sauce it was topped with, making it difficult to eat without a knife and fork. The burrito was just okay and equally messy. Unfortunately I was charged more than twice what my order should have cost. I didn't recognize it until I researched prices when I got home. Extremely dishonest and unethical. Customer beware. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. I will! read more

I love the shrimp enchiladas. Plus they have ice cold Mexican beer on tap! I tried the steak tacos as recommended by another yelp review and i agree they were excellent. The service was quick. I will definitely eat here again when I return to Jamestown. read more

Ordered dinner over the phone and picked it up for my teenaged sons. It was ready on time, piping hot, and soooo good. They had the Pollo Fundido and Carne Asada tacos, and they ate very last bit. Large portions, flavorful, and served with chips and plenty of salsa. The tomatillo salsa that came with the asada tacos was an added bonus. read more

If I could give this place a 0 review I would ! So racist to their own people and worst Mexican food I ever tasted ! They delete reviews so I will be commenting every time they delete my review . Food is not good gave me the wrong order didn't refill my drink or come check on our table. Manager is rude will NEVER come here again . read more

Wackest Mexican restaurant I've been too. Servers are slow. They get mad when you try to order something customized. Charge extra for no dam reason. read more

This is the second time I've ate there and second time getting sick the next day from eating the food there there is bugs everywhere and little bugs crawling on the floor DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! read more

Delicious food, good service, pleasant atmosphere, with reasonable prices...what's not to like! So glad we stopped in.

Margaritas really do suck. Chips - ho hum. Food meh! Hey, its North Dakota Mexican food. read more

Address on Yelp is wrong took us on 20 minute detour. Actual restaurant is close off freeway. 2619 8th Ave SW Unit 115 Jamestown, ND 58401 United States It is unit 115 not suite 115 Food was good but nothing special. read more

This restaurant is not recommended for the discerning palate. The restaurant itself is fairly new and has a large dining area. Plenty of parking out front and has a very large menu spanning several pages. Unfortunately, the service is extremely slow and the food is bland. It almost seemed as though everything that came out came from a can. The taste was highly processed, artificial, and drenched in oil. I question the quality of the ingredients used. Eating at other authentic Mexican restaurants, I would not consider this restaurant truly authentic. We were only able to take down a few bites and had to leave the rest. It was not worth the $20 meal. read more

Happened upon their grand opening of this authentic Mexican restaurant. Just passing through this town, but it's in the mini mall behind Applebee's restaurant. Giant menu, takes some time to read. I had some great grilled shrimp, tortillas, refried beans, fried rice, guacamole, etc. for $13.95. Lots of food. Should have tried a margarita. Next time. read more

First of all what are you doing in this town? Came to see the worlds largest buffalo? No matter what you are doing here this is the place to eat. The place was warm and inviting. The staff very pleasant and helpful. The rice has onions and peppers in it and is very tasty. The retried beans are also very good. I got the chili relleno. Very well made and tasty. He chips and salsa are also good. The salsa is more tomato than anything but this is the great white north so you have to expect a little milder salsa than in Texas. read more

Look, this is Jamestown. It is a small town that cannot usually sustain a 5 or 6 star restaurant. It is, however, probably the best restaurant in town. And it is NOT a ND version of Mexican food. The pollo las cabos is great. read more

Traveling through Jamestown from Pittsburgh to Seattle we stopped here The service was excellent our waitress Adilene was great, the food was a pleasant Surprise after all the negative reviews I had a chile chicken dish that I asked to Spice up and it came out just right Give it a try I don't think you'll be disappointed read more

Good food, fast service! Kids didn't like their shrimp tacos... Prices higher than Yelp menu shows. read more

I think this is the better of the two Mexican restaurants in Jamestown. It is a little harder to find but worth it. I had the burrito Californiano which was fantastic. My wife would not write as positive a review because there were too many green peppers in her chimichanga and it was not deep fried. That is a matter of taste. I think it is just more authentic. I don't like super spicy foods but theirs was just right for me. read more

The restaurant looks like they would serve really good Mexican food. The taco salad was bland and boring; the guacamole was pureed and tasted...different; the margaritas were not great; and their chips and salsa were mediorce, and that is usually half the meal if we're being honest. Our waiter seemed to be more concerned about watching TV, which is probably why the service was no bueno. I would not recommend this place to anyone I care about. read more

BEWARE OF OVERCHARGING. Extremely disappointed. We've been going here for years, but the past two times we've been there the staff has overcharged us. Our waiter who I think is the manager or owner, doesn't give you the line item total showing your food and pop cost but instead gives us a grand total which is normally a few bucks more than our total should have been even when adding sales tax. We've talked to others that have gone here lately and they've said the same thing. Their bill was higher than they expected. Not the way we like business done in Jamestown. read more

We followed the map here to the address given. It is near JCPenney's totally opposite direction from given address. Check for correct address. We went on a wild goose chase. Food better at Paradiso. read more

CANNOT believe that Paradiso gets better marks than this place!! What is up with North Dakotans and their love of Paradiso?!? It's horrible! Anyway, I had to meet a client in Jamestown and decided to give this place a try, since the Mexican food in Bismarck is severely lacking. I had the California burrito and it was fantastic! The chicken had just the right amount of spice, the guac was super spicy (which I love), as was the pico. I've had much worse mexican food in Florida! I will definitely be back to La Carreta on my next Jamestown trip... Or even better, if Jamestown doesn't appreciate you, come to Bismarck! There are plenty of out of state transplants here who are missing good mexican food!! read more

My sister and I stopped here for dinner while driving to Fargo, and it was great. Definitely more authentic than Paradiso, and far tastier than Grizzly's or Applebee's. My sister had the carnitas, and I had the pollo campesito, each for only $12-14. Chips and salsa are free, and the chips were homemade and still warm. Same goes for the tortillas with our meal. Everyone was friendly, the portions were huge, and our meals were delicious. I'm surprised the place wasn't more packed, and will keep it as my first choice for dinner next time I'm passing through. Keep up the good work Lá Carnitas! read more
