Best appetizer they have is the nachos el patron (we add fresh lime on top) definite 10/10 Haven’t had an entree that hasn’t been delicious. The portions are large, and priced decently for the amount of food you receive. The BEST DESSERT IS THE JELLY DONUT CHEESECAKE. This isn’t always there so if it’s there when you are..... ORDER IT. The fried ice cream and fried cheesecake are also really delicious. I attached a picture of the jelly donut cheesecake and the fried ice cream.

Let me tell you. I’ve been going here as absolutely as long as I can remember. Birthdays, regular days, anything and everything. I LOVE La Carreta. Everything has good taste. I will always love their rice, and Special La Casa, I hope that’s how you spell it. I will keep going here until the day i’m gone, I can promise you that. Typing this just makes me want it, honestly. I love La Carreta, you should too!
