The host was a little judgmental, I guess she thought we just knew to sit down somewhere so we stood for a second before being helped. The waitress was a little rude and didn't visit very often to refill drinks or check on us. Chips and salsa - 4/5 Queso - 3/5 - I feel like it was a little over priced for the size ($10 for a large) Chimichanga - 2/5 - Very mid, not much flavor, don't recommend Breakfast burrito - 4/5 - no complaints but mid Build your own burrito - 3/5 - The only reason I give this a 3 is because it depends on what you get I got ground meat, cheese, rice, pico, etc and it was a massive burrito very good. My brother got the steak one and there was barely any on the burrito it was mostly rice. Also they give you a tiny little bowl of queso if you get it on the side. Bathrooms were clean and they had an outside singer who wasn't half bad. I feel like there's plenty of parking and it's very accessible.

The complimentary salsa was tasty, and my margarita was delicious, though I would've liked it a little stronger. My mom ordered the chicken fajitas, and they were flavorful, fresh, and actually well seasoned, which was refreshing compared to other bland fajitas I've had lately. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were absolutely amazing. The pricing felt fair for the quality and portion sizes. Our server, Linda, was wonderful, and the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. I also loved that some of the staff spoke Spanish, so I got to practice a little.

La Carreta had three birria tacos with the broth on their menu for $18, which I thought was a great deal. I ordered to go, so I placed my order on the phone, since the online way wasn't working for some reason. I got the birria tacos with a small chips and queso. My order was waiting for me at the bar, so I didn't even have to wait. It was also packed tightly due to the broth being in there. The birria tacos were so good! I can't believe I have never had them before. Three was the perfect amount and there was so much broth, so I could dip my tacos in there multiple times. The chips also filled the bag and came with salsa. I wasn't a huge fan of the queso and salsa. To me, the salsa needed to be a bit spicy and the queso was too thick, but I didn't microwave it, which could have been why. The chips were delicious. I will be back for more of my birria tacos cravings and this great deal!

However, there is only cheese Quesadilla's, and when you order a protein, it's extra, so you can't just order a shrimp.or chicken Quesadilla. I did like how they put the toppings in a little taco bowl kinda thing. I got a small virgin daiquiri, and it was expensive. My fault, I didn't ask the price The bean dip is actually a queso bean dip, so you have to be specific when ordering if you just want bean dip only. Everyone was served in a timely manner, so that was great. The vibe was good.
