"Love, love, LOVE this place!! Great food, some of the best frozen margaritas I've ever had (they don't scrimp on Tequila, although the frozen margaritas come from a machine! and good atmosphere in downtown Lafayette. Prices are quite good, especially considering the quality of ingredients and location. I HIGHLY recommend La Carreta!!"

We met La Carreta for lunch today. I was just here once, shortly after they opened, and I remember it was very good. Today our service was good. We had a very large group (10 people), and a few orders were grounded, but they were quickly watched, and all went happy. As far as food is concerned, I forgot how much I like salsa here. It has a smoky taste I really like. Not too small. I'm a fan of a smoother salsa. I have the avocado salad (no tomatoes), and it was fantastic! I added shrimps and they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I'm glad to be back in the evening so I can try one of their margaritas. All in all, I do this from now on to my Mexican city centre.
We went to La Carreta a few times and we usually enjoy it. The service can sometimes be concentrated with the staff to talk to each other instead of checking on their tables. Ordering my favorite thing is the Mahi-shrimp Ceviche, which is very good. They have bite large pieces of fish and shrimp with pieces cucumbers and mango marinated in lemon juice, so the acid cooks the seafood. It makes a light and refreshing meal. The rest of the food I have found to be a little hit or miss when the meat is dry and bland at times. In my opinion, it is your best Tex mex option in downtown.
For appetizers, La Carreta offers a variety of dips, such as guacamole that can be made fresh right at the table, spinach artichoke, chorizo queso, and bean, as well as nachos, shrimp, ceviche, calamari, quesadillas, flautas, and an assortment of flavorful soups. The tacos are made with corn tortillas with onions and cilantro, along with bean soup and grilled Serrano peppers, and can be filled with anything from braised beef to Boston butt pork, Mahi Mahi, shrimp, lobster, and a local favorite, the Tacos al Pastor pulled pork with chipotle and pineapple.
Our new favorite Mexican place! Our server, Abby, was attentive and helpful, friendly and friendly and made our visit pleasant. The food was delicious! Carne asada fajitas were divine and my husband shredded chicken shell, marinated and tender. We loved the unusual margaritas (pineapple and cilantro and strawberry n mint) My only complaint was that they had something too much ice. The food is fresh and tasteful and atmosphere bright and charming. We'll be back.
