El Carreton

Food and service is so much better! I really enjoyed their chicken and steak quesadilla. Their guacamole is yummy!

Standard Mexican restaurant menu. The food was actually pretty good. Solid 4 stars for the food. Salsa, cheese dip and Chili Poblano all good. The chili poblano comes with either beef or chicken. I got the beef, and opted for 2 versus 1. That was a mistake. One chili poblano is large enough to feed a normal size guy, so 2 was way too much. Note, it doesn't come with beans or rice, just the chili poblano. This poblano also packs some heat, which was a surprise to me. The service was very good. The inside looks like any other Mexican restaurant. I have no problem recommended El Carreton.

I have been here a few times now and I'll be honest it just gets worse with every visit. Almost left before being seated this time. Only reason we stayed is because we love the waitress we ended up with (Liliana).The hostess needs to be given some etiquette training and learn how to be respectful. She refused to sit 6 families that had 4 or less people even though she had 5 open tables that would sit 6 people. No group of 5 or more ever came in. She made the others wait up to 10 minutes for someone else to leave.The staff seem to be intimidated by her as she fusses at them for trying to seat people.Even after we sat down, people she sat seemed to have an unpleasant expression.Not sure we will return after this visit.Food was better than usual on this visit.

I called in a dinner order for my family and first off, the person who took my order was very friendly and helpful.Between us, we ordered: Five Ranchero (variety) enchiladas Chile Relleno Shredded Beef TacosMolcajete PaisaQuesadilla Texana Extra chips and salsaPicante (spicy!) salsaThe food was ready when they said it would be. The portions were good. The prices were fair. Facility was nicely decorated and had great ambience.The ground beef was a little strange to me-like it was put in a blender or something to make it super small grind. But the flavor was well seasoned. Quesadilla was fantastic! Shredded Beef Tacos and the shredded beef enchiladas were also fantastic. Rice and beans, tortilla chips, salsas, and Molcajete were all very tasty. Chile Relleno was deconstructed and although not a typical Relleno (which translates -stuffed), it was delicious.I will be going back but I am not planning to order anything with the ground beef.

New mexican spot opened right down the street and you best we were eager to give them a try! You can tell they are still getting in the groove as they are a new establishment but their Al pastor street tacos are the best I've had around. Each taco was bursting with flavors and they have the toppings on the side which was wonderful for some of our picky eaters. Also it is SUPER cute in there. The ambiance is so inviting, the staff are super friendly and we had a really great time. They have your basic Mexican food dishes from what I can tell but their Al Pastor tacos are hands down the best I've had! If you're craving tacos that leave you waiting for your next visit... this is the placeBravo guys! This may be a new spot for us

El Carreton has potential and offers a calming atmosphere reminiscent of a classic family Mexican restaurant. Given that it's only been open for a week, some hiccups are understandable. The service was quite slow during our visit, but I'm hopeful this will improve with time.I ordered the quesadilla Hawaiiana, which was just okay, but the chori queso was quite good. My husband's carnitas street tacos were tasty and flavorful. Despite not being super impressed on our first visit, I'm willing to give El Carreton another try as they settle in and find their rhythm.

Stopped by tonight and I thought the food and service was amazing. The cheese dip, salsa, and the homemade hot sauce all stood out to me on how good they were. Give them a try for sure

Nice new Mexican restaurant in the Welcome/Lexington area. Prices are affordable especially their lunch menu, which is unbeatable anywhere else! We tried a few different dishes and everything was just as good as any other Mexican restaurant around. Service was attentive and kept check on our table. Building inside is well decorated with cultural items. Will definitely be going back to try more dishes!

We have been there three times. Their top-shelf margaritas are AMAZING!! Not too sweet, and not too tart!! The food was also very good. Two things...they need a better air conditioner. Tonight was borderline, miserable. And...I think they will outgrow their space in a very short time! We got there at 6:20pm on a Wednesday, and had to wait at least 20 minutes. Alex is a great server!!

The only good food was the chips and salsa. Service was okay....not very friendly. Would not return. I've never left a Mexican restaurant hungry.
