This is my go-to Mexican restaurant in Lexington. Arturo, Alejandro, David and Miguel, ( The manager, ) are the best! The service is always friendly and prompt, The food is amazing. I got the steak fajitas. The portions are huge and always cooked to perfection! I'm never disappointed when I come here. Kudos to La Carreta, friendly and efficient staff, excellent food. Overall. A great place to eat!

Average American Mexican restaurant. Tons of options. Husband tried the chicken Grande burrito. He said he really liked it, the flavor of the chicken itself was very good.I tried lunch special #9. Asked for chicken tamale and beef burrito. Tamale was good, interesting tho, it was a chicken tamale, but the put additional beef on it. Service was average.Might try again when in the area. Prices; reasonable.

This place would rank about a 3.5 if we could give half stars. I give it three stars simply because it's a down the middle of the road Mexican restaurant. In my opinion there is nothing to set this restaurant apart from other similar restaurants but with that said, there's not much negative to say either.The times I have been there, they have been over staffed but still don't give the attention needed to their patrons. The food is typical with no complaints. My son says they have the best salsa but I don't see anything different about it than other places.I've always been told to eat before grocery shopping and with place right beside Walmart, it's a win, win.

We loved this place at first...2nd time they argued with me over charging me for veggies that I didn't receive. Yes I wanted them, nope never got them.Decided to give them a 3rd shot...Well after getting our drinks we waited almost 20 minutes for our order to be taken... keep in mind, maybe 6 tables tops. Super dead. And I had to go in and find our serverDaughter asked for a corn dog w fries...What did she get... fries..Manager was super rude, didn't understand what the problem was.My ACP lacked major flavor. Asked for no guacamole salad and sure enough still got it.Never again.

Used to love coming here when they first opened up.. everything has gone slack. I try to give it the benefit of the doubt when friends or families want to come eat here and I'm their guest.. but I wouldn't come here on my own. Their service is horrible. Never a waiter/waitress in sight after your food is placed and brought to the table. Drinks aren't filled and you can ask for anything if you needed it because they don't come back to check in you.The food has gone down as well. If you order anything with shrimp make sure you tell them to cook it long because he still taste raw, or I don't k ow if it's just bad shrimp.. but it's not good. Not that I would, but you can almost walk out the place without paying because he takes them forever to come up to the register to check you out.. as well as being seated.. just not as good as it used to be. Staffed needs to be retrained or the old ones need to go because they aren't much help.

I've gone to this place off and on for a year and today was the last time. Something is always wrong with the order regardless if I order or carry out. While dining in the servers are understaffed and under qualified. Sometimes it gets to the point where I've had to find the boxes myself and ask the host for the ticket because our server is so neglectful. This is every time. When you order take out there's always something wrong with the order. Whether they add something or take leave it off it's a constant and I have to wait in line because from what I over hear, it's not a rare occurrence for others as well. One last thing if they say your food will be ready in 20 minutes expect to wait an extra 10 to 20 minutes. I'm frustrated, I'm tired and I understand that it's hard to run a restaurant but La Carreta I hope you can do better in the future.

It's more of a 3.5, but it's solid. I'll bump it up because the rating it's currently at seems a bit unfair, from my experience. It's affordable, and my wife and I are never upset going here.

I had a similar experience to George J's review and never went back. I usually tip 20% even when the experience isn't good because I understand it's not always the server's fault. This time it was, I wanted to order another drink and dessert but he never came back. I had to hunt down someone to get my check and to-go box so I left a penny tip on the table. The server finally appeared after I paid my bill and gave me the finger as I walked out.
