“ Margarita and food were great, service quick and attentive. Chips and salsa decent but order the mexi dip it is the best dip ever. I got the chicken fajita quesadilla it was good ”
“ Today was my first visit. Service was great. Food was unusual, different than other Mexican places I'm used to, but in a good way. I am looking forward to visiting this place again in the future. ”
“ Delicious! Been coming for years and have never had anything bad. Service is quick and attentive. Virtually all the staff appear to be Mexican, and I take advantage of the opportunity to practice my Spanish. ”
“ Thoroughly enjoyed my first visit today. Beans and rice sides...fantastic. Beef burrito fantastic. Soft taco fantastic. And the side of hot sauce I ordered was fantastic too. Plus, they have a happy out ( unlike the other Mexican joint down the street). Might just be my favorite Mexican place now. ”
“ My brother and sister in law have been recommending this place for a while. I finally had the opportunity to visit. This place is completely unassuming located in a strip mall just off 270 in Creve Couer. The space is modern with beautiful artwork. Our server was friendly and prompt with orders and delivering food. I definitely recommend the guacamole. Had the perfect texture and consistency. I went with the Aztec chicken for my meal. My only complaint was that I could have used a little more of everything on my plate. The rice and beans were seasoned perfectly. The chicken with diced veggies made for a hearty dinner. I had a pineapple jalapeño margarita with my meal. Just the right amount of sweet salty and heat. ”
“ Liked and enjoyed their ambience, friendly and attentive service. Good food and nice presentation. Tried for 1st time and found it a "solid" choice overall; note 2 callouts for me - FYI menu says no "substitutions", and surprisingly me some adult drinks (premium margarita specific) was more expensive than my entrees. Overall, solid 3.5+ for me as I've enjoyed many Mexican restaurants, so it's personal taste. Expect to pay $12-18pp for an entree. Nice place to gather with family or friends; expect a short wait during busy meal hours. THE highlight for me was their Queso Fundido, baked/melted Chihuahua cheese topped with Chorizo, served with chips or tortillas - if you love gooey, warm melted cheese and chorizo, this could be a meal!! Also tried their "chunky" Guacamole. Plenty to share and tasty, but light on Avocado chunks in my opinion; seemed to be more onions and tomatoes in my serving but still flavorful and freshly made. Next time I may try the regular smooth Guacamole to compare. For entrees, tried the Carnitas dinner, Chicken Enchiladas dinner and a side Chile Relleno. All very good, served hot (quickly) from the kitchen, and decent portions. Carnitas was tender and a filling meal. If you like Mexican food, Carreta's has a wide menu to please everyone, welcoming ambience and good eats! Enjoy!! ”
