La Carreta - Houma

Came here for lunch and ordered a few appetizers and an order of tacos to share. My fave were the duck empanadas!!

Whenever I'm back in Houma, I'm coming back here for the food and vibes. Servers were attentive and offered to split checks right away. My drink was strong and everyone loved the free chips and salsa...except the aunts who didn't like cilantro, but WHO DOESNT LIKE CILANTRO?!?! :-) I loved hearing the loved band, Bang Bang! It's a great place for family and groups. We enjoyed all of our entrees. I made reservations for 10 people and they had the table ready in the best spot to see the band. Customer service is a dying art in some places but not here. We all felt well taken care of. Those three things will keep me coming back and bringing a group along with me.

Service and ambience was nice. Food was mediocre at best. Strawberry mahi salad was ok but could have been done MUCH MUCH better and the fish was overcooked and grossly under seasoned. Two of the orders at our table had their plates mixed together. My guests said it was adequate but nothing special. The blackberry margaritas were good though, and that's what we were really went to try. Unlikely to return. However. Too many other options with much better food in this area.I give La Carreta of Houma a C-

Great fresh food and excellent margaritas! They have wonderful music which is so much fun.

I enjoyed the fish tacos. Music outside was great Waitress seemed inattentive and in a hurry

La Carreta is one of my go to restaurants in Houma. The food is consistently good if I order my favorites. The atmosphere is fun and casual! If you'd like to amp up your dining experience, request to sit outside--it's lovely.I have never had to wait to be seated even during some of the busier times. The restaurant and restrooms are always clean.I recommend ordering the chicken quesadilla, cheese enchilada, beef burrito, or the Monterey chicken. An order of queso will complete your meal! I do not recommend the birria tacos--they are too salty. Any margarita is a good idea!Unfortunately, my last experience was not good but I won't let that overshadow my love for La Caretta. We waited an hour and a half for our food and had to ask several times for it. We watched surrounding tables come and go before we received our food. We are certain that the order was never given to the kitchen. I bragged about the restaurant and had my friends come with me that had never been--unfortunately, they won't come back.Again, that experience is not the usual and I still look forward to dining again.

I went to eat fajitas and I told server when she brought my fajitas out that I wanted lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and some guacamole that wasn't black. That is what I had ordered not what I got. The guacamole was black on the plate. The fajita meat tasted like it had been rolled in salt. Will never go back! Cause the waitress never came back to the table not good customer service!

Fun, clean atmosphere with great music playing. Friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food and a creative menu.

As other reviewers have said, the music/vibe was great. The service was good too. Chips and salsa - above average. After that, not so good. Our house margaritas were watered down lime mix with little flavor. My wife got the burrito bowl which was a salt bomb that she couldn't eat. I got the sampler plater which was just OK. Maybe it was just an off night in the kitchen, but we were extremely disappointed, especially given the recommendation we got from the hotel.

Honestly, what does people see in this restaurant? Has to be the worse Mexican food I've ever had in my entire life but the place is always crowded.
