La Carreta is a long term, tried and true option in Thomasville. I've been enjoying food here well…read moreover 20 years, and it's consistently good. With fresh choices, a large menu, generous portions, and reasonable pricing, you can't go wrong here. If you're dining in, the chips are fresh and the salsa tasty with just the right amount of spice. The cheese dip is always a winner. The guacamole is not my favorite in terms of consistency (too smooth) but it usually tastes good too. Today's visit was takeout. We got a Grande Burrito and a Burrito Paisa. They were both massive and lasted multiple meals over the week. I'm a huge fan of the Burrito Paisa with the spicy sauce, and it'll make you sweat! I will say it's annoying they add a forced gratuity for takeout orders (they've always charged a container fee, but now add the gratuity.) This isn't uncommon these days, but I still dislike it. I'd love to see the addition of online ordering to keep up with the era. But all told, a great consistent choice that never disappoints me.

We also got an appetizer of corn ribs because... that stuff is delicious. I appreciate the tea being brought in GIANT glasses, as I was never wanting for a refill. I don't see why more places don't do this, what an easy way to relieve your server of a common service pain point. There was also a birthday party while we were there, and let me tell you, the entire restaurant... lights, music, and all... shifts into party mode when it's time to sing that person a song. Pretty impressive. Anyway, back to the food. We did enjoy the corn ribs, but they were pretty messy and difficult to eat. I have seen some examples at other places where the kernels were easier to get at, or you could even eat the husk part because it was so thin. Also, we would have liked a little more, the ribs did not even really add up to a full large ear of corn. The fajitas for two were really good and a huge portion. Very tender meat and veggies. We would have liked to see more pineapple. The chunks were small and a little sparse on the skillet, so in the end, we didn't get much of that tropical flavor. In the end, it wasn't enough to deduct a star as we had an excellent overall experience. Thanks amigos!

We took an exit in Thomasville as yet another car accident was backing up traffic according to Google Maps. We like to eat local and as fate would have it we pulled into a random parking lot, and there stood El Camino Express. It's a small hole in the wall type of eatery with ample parking outside. You walk into a bright white decor with black lettering, food counter to your right and a long dining room ahead. All the decor highlighted that this restaurant supported the community and provided a local farm to table type of eats. We knew at this point we hit GOLD! They had several folks coming in and out for takeout food, but we were the only ones dining in. Looks like most interstate travelers are bypassing this gem! Anyway, we ordered ACP, Taco kids meal, and Chicken Tinga Birria Tacos. Everything was phenomenal! The Chicken Tinga Birria Tacos were not on the menu, but I asked if they could use Chicken instead of beef and they happily obliged. They were packed with a savory light spice flavor, and the dipping sauce made the dish even more epic. I've been raving about this place to my friends ever since that day. El Camino Express was the highlight of my 10 hour road trip and a welcomed bright spot that addressed my hanger issues lol. If you are driving through Thomasville, make it a point to visit this landmark without fail!

This is a perfect lunch spot. They have food out fast, even while they were in lunch rush. Broth for quesabirrias had good flavor and not greasy like some can be. Torta was very good and delicious, nothing fell apart. Pupusas had carnitas in there, not really used to carnitas in Pupusas's. They were good, but not the favorite from the food we ordered. I would stick to the cheese Pupusas's next time. Overall we loved the place and next time will be trying their breakfast.

I enjoyed a bottled coca-cola made with cane sugar straight from Mexico and my son had a horchata. This is definitely an authentic Mexican restaurant that is somewhat of a dive.

Once the food was ready the cashier charged me,once I got home my wife told me she paid online...we called the restaurant. The girl was rude from the get go, called my wife a liar, cussed her in both English and Spanish. I went back to the restaurant with a screenshot of the order and receipt of online payment. The same girl insisted I was wrong and that we couldn't have ordered on line. Finally a lady came from the kitchen and told her to give me a refund. The girl tried to give me back $22 dollars of our $28 order...the lady from the kitchen made her give me the correct amount. The service (from the cashier) was the worst I've ever received from anyone in any type of customer service role. Plus the food was bland. If a negative number review was possible, I would be leaving one.

Finally got to try their food again for the second time as a dine in customer yesterday. The first time was take out and I normally don't order take out for Mexican because it gets soggy but that wasn't the case here. That's why I knew I needed to go back in person, plus the food was just amazing! I ordered the steak sopes, rice and beans, churros and jamaica. The steak was so tender and flavorful, just how I remembered. Also their salsa verde is delicious! The red salsa (in the bottle) is super super hot so you've been warned! Additionally, the salsa that is served with chips is made fresh and taste just right for the average person. The churros were a win for me and I ordered 3! Hot and fresh! Best churros I've ever had! Also their tortillas are made fresh to order. Wowowow! They have a variety of authentic dishes and such friendly staff. Gisseth was our server and I hope to see her again. I can't wait to visit more often and try all they have to offer!

This was my first time trying this spot. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't expecting much as I have…read morenever seen the parking lot overflowing with cars. So my expectations were low. However, my granddaughter chose this place for her birthday dinner with family. The interior does not have the same authentic Mexican feel to it as other local Mexican restaurants do, but it is spacious and open, which I appreciated. Our server was Jesse. She was wonderful! We weren't a huge party but definitely had some needs and she was on top of it all. She made sure our drinks never got empty, checked in on us without intruding on our festivities, and even found a lighter for us to use to light the birthday candles. The food was delicious! I tried their quesabirria's and it was PERFECTO!!! My daughter tried something out of the ordinary and loved it! (CAMARONES PARAISO) Infaft, everybody loved their food! As with most Mexican restaurants, they did bring the sombrero and maracas, along with a dessert, for the birthday girl. Very happy with this experience. I plan to come back and get more queso birria!

This past weekend after watching a long 2 day wrestling tournament at North Davidson High School,…read moremy parents and I decided to go check out this near by taco place that we kept hearing about all weekend long. As soon as we entered the restaurant you felt the good vibes with the Spanish music being played in the background. We were greeted with a smile and taken right to a table. The restaurant had a couple of tables, but it seems like a lot of people do take out as well. As I looked at the menu there were a lot of different options apart from the tacos. There were tortas, chimichangas, etc. When it came time to order the food I decided to go with the tacos. I ordered 1 taco de asada, 1 taco al pastor, and 1 taco de pollo asado. I also got a agua de jamaica (Hibiscus tea) it was also very good and refreshing. While my family and I waited for our food our server brought us chips and salsa which did not disappoint. Once my food came out I was super excited to try it out. The presentation was amazing. The tortillas were homemade, the taco was loaded with onions and cilantro, they give you a good amount of limes, some radishes on the side, and bring out 2 different salsas for you to add to your taco if you would like too. Each taco was delicious and very flavorful. I would say that my favorite one had to be the taco al pastor. The seasoning was just right and it even had pineapple in there. If you are in the area I would definitely give this a try, the food and service are both so amazing. You wont be disappointed!

Very very clean, open concept kitchen; once again, extremely clean bathroom as well, soda machine is clean, floors spotless, big brownie points! Moreover the food: pleaseeee try the shrimp cocktail(extremely fresh tasting and not spicy yet flavorful, LOTS OF SHRIMP INSIDE!), birria tamales( speaks for itself ‍‍‍very flavorful the maíz also had flavor and the consomé is not fatty but well seasoned, simply delicious). The birria ramen, huge chunks of barbacoa inside and served with a quesadilla, come on! Also had the empanadas de campechanas(steak with chorizo and cheese) and also an order of pulled chicken and cheese empanadas (it taste like you at you're at home eating Ma's food!!!!), pastor taco was excellent, made with actual pineapple and seasoned well but not too salty or sweet; perfect! The street corn was nice and HOT in temperature and well seasoned but not spicy and could taste the squeezed lime with the tajin cheese and mayo; yum!!!! Carnitas taco was excellent, very tender!!! Oh, hand made corn tortillas.... Come on!!! This is the place to be, I'm telling y'all‍. We got caramel churros to go, they come with some ice cream and whipped with chocolate sauce, so banger!!! Also recommend the fresh made cheese dip with the made to order chunky guacamolè aka 'Guac Mexicano' and some grilled seasoned whole jalapeños on the side(aka Torriados) Finally, would also like to highlight that all the food had very clean presentations and you can tell everything is prepped with very very well- also can tell this in the horchata and Jamaica! I have never in my life tried a perfect Jamaica like theirs- it was not bitter or sour or too sweet or too weak; absolutely perfect, please try for yourself! Andre's has a wonderful staff and he and his family are working with delicious recipes, these people are true restauranteurs and know what they're doing!!! I am definitely returning and plan to become a regular! So thankful to find somewhere close to my new home out this way! God bless you/ que Diosito los bendiga!
