Taqueria La Carreta

Very hole in the wall ish .. but that doesn't make it bad at all. This is the kind of place that if you didn't know where it was you may not know how to get there or what it is. It's in a very large strip mall area so there's a lot of things already there. But this one is in a spot to where it has some seating outside so you can't miss it. They're going to be probably a lot of people sitting around on a nice day so just look for that lol. I sat at the bar so was greeted immediately But they do have seating areas by the bar and upstairs as well. So it may not look like it but this spot is actually pretty big and they have plenty of seats.The bar does not have a drink situation that you would expect. So don't go if you want to order a bunch of margaritas for your people. Like I said earlier, there is a bar, but the bar itself is not a fully stocked bar.Quesabirria - I thought that this was a really good pic, the reviews I read said that this was the go-to so I had to give it a shot. It came with a bowl of juice to dip the tacos in, not like a little cup, you got plenty! And it was very flavorful so that was good even though the tacos themselves already have some flavor to them. I smashed those three immediately!Chicken taco - chicken taco was kind of what you would expect. Had the cilantro had the onion, but it was good. It wasn't out of the box excitement, but it was a good flavor.Barbacoa taco - This is about the same as the chicken taco. Still good, but it was just a taco. Now to note, I don't know what it was, but it felt like some of the taco shells were a little tough to tear when you bent into it. Which was odd, but I eventually got over that but I just happen to notice that when I was trying to bite my tacos.Steak taco Tex mex - This tex mex taco was actually about the same or similar as the other two, it had stuff on it like lettuce, but the meat will similar. Thought it was good. It's what you would expect from an American taco. Not like a street taco you would get if you were abroad. Overall I like the spot. It's something away from a lot of hustle and bustle even though they're going to be a lot of people in this area just standing and sitting around.

La Carreta Mexican Grill & Taqueria, located in Northeast Plaza, provides an authentic Mexican food experience. The restaurant has expanded since my last visit (Pre-Pandemic) and now offers ample seating. Despite the bright red and green wall colors, it has a humble feel. Customer service was very good. The staff are friendly, helpful and provide suggestions. I Ordered Horchata, Caldo de Pollo (Chicken Soup), and the Quesabirrias. The horchata was good but I would have liked more cinnamon flavor. The soup contained bone-in chicken, potatoes, corn on the cob, and carrots. I appreciated the cilantro, onions, jalapeno, and limes on the side for a more interactive and individualized experience. The soup also came with piping hot corn or flour tortillas. There were also plenty of sauces to choose from to season the soup (red, green, Valentina, El Yucateco). Stylistically, I prefer not to have to remove bones from my soup but the soup was flavorful. I loved their quesabirrias. The flavorful beef birria, the melty oaxaca cheese, the crispy tortilla shell ... what's not to love? It was also tasty the day after (using my airfryer). La Carreta now has alcohol options, so I must come back for that alone. However, there are also numerous food items that look tasty, including their seafood options.

Bomb dot com quick tacos. Just like I like it. Cheap and LA Style. The salsa was bussin and it was simple and tasty.

Small hole in the wall place with fun festive Latin music playing. Fast, kind, and efficient service. Honestly, I don't need to write much because it was a fantastic experience.I got an order of the quesabirria tacos and one shrimp taco and one barbacoa taco. Everything was divine. Juicy, succulent, and full of flavor. It also comes with two salsas - a green salsa bottle and an orange salsa bottle. The orange salsa has a slight kick and the green salsa is nice and cuts through the fatty elements of the tacos. I couldn't ask for more in a taco spot and I loved every bite. Would come back here in a heartbeat!

Run here don't walk.Let me tell you why! In a world where Tex-mex is considered authentic Mexican food, The food here is the real deal! And its absolutely delicious. There is live music and the energy is intoxicating. Everyone seem happy and engaging. There are tv's located throughout the restaurants playing soccer.The service was great. Our waitress made sure we were comfortable. She explained the menu and great detail. Was able to give some great recommendations and we weren't disappointed. I ordered the Camarones a la Diabla. I live for spicy food and this dish lacked no spice whatsoever. I loved that they were whole shrimp steamed to perfection and smothered in a spicy sauce. The shrimp does come with a salad, that's refreshing enough to cool your mouth down after such intense heat. I also ordered shrimp tacos that were so appetizing. The ceviche was by far the best thing I had from here. The shrimp were succulent and all the ingredients were fresh and it comes served on a tostada. My first time having it this way but going forward definitely my preferred way to eat it. Now I know must sound crazy but I do not recall their being a drink menu but they do have beer. But maybe it something I missed. There is more than enough parking being that this is located in a massive plaza.

I came here because they have good reviews and I wanted some tacos. This place is in a strip mall/shopping center. Plenty of parking but you have to get into the parking lot to see this venue. There is a farmer's market here.I came in and noticed they have outdoor seating under a structure and plenty of in door seating. I ordered at the bar and waited about 15 minutes for my order. They charge more for take out and using your credit card. I think 10% for take out and 4% for credit card. This is not a big deal to me so I still tipped on top of the extra charges.The birria tacos were great. I love how they put the menudo in a cup with a tight lid. The barbacoa tacos were filled with protein but could have used more seasoning. The hot sauces were too hot for comfort.

The Birria Tacos are Bussin!!! I would give 10 stars if I could! Drinkers beware there are NO MARGARITAS, but there is a bar if u want to wash your tacos down with some shots!!

We came here late night after getting back from a late flight. Nothing else was open and we were craving good Mexican. There were a few people in the building around 11:30pm when we arrived. They were just eating, hanging out drinking, and watching soccer on the TV. I placed a to go order at the cash register after perusing the menu for a few minutes.The food was ready in about 15 minutes and I requested my sauces and we were on our way home. About 25 minutes later, I was eating my carne asada burrito. It was still fresh and the one carne asada taco I had was good as well. The burrito was packed with everything, and the ratio for each ingredient was just right. This place also gives a discount if you pay in cash!

Located off Buford hwy, in a shopping center facing the farmers market.Lots of tables out front for outdoor dining.I definitely recommend! The food was fresh and tasty. The staff was very nice and friendly. I will be back soon. I am glad I decided to pop in and give it a try. Awesome, little hole in the wall spot!! Grab some lunch here, you'll be glad!

Cockroaches on the wall next to our table. After seeing that, nothing tasted good. Service was okay and the chilaquiles not great.
