“ Another good night at La Carreta tonight. Did not get a picture but I had the quesabirria tacos which was the special tonight. Food was good and I ended up staying almost 3 hours with a friend. I always enjoy La Carreta's atmosphere and is the best place in Gardner for relatively quick and good mexican food. ”
“ I have never had a bad meal here. First off they still give free chips and salsa. The salsa has a great flavor with lots of cilantro. It is your typical decorated Mexican restaurant with many booths and tables that can be put together for larger parties. They have always been able to accommodate large parties. The staff provide quick friendly service. The drinks are what I would consider their superpower. The margaritas are top notch. No scrimping on the tequila. Plenty of parking. Enjoy!!!! ”
“ Restaurant was busy so service was slow. Drinks and food took longer to arrive at the table but the server himself was nice. Food was incredible. Taco fell apart immediately but the beef was seasoned well, nothing negative to say about the enchiladas. Beans a bit soupy but they had a good flavor as did the rice. Cheese dip and margaritas were fantastic and will be a must when I go back. ”
“ The best Mexican food in the area. This place is always busy on the weekends. Lots of food for the price. The margaritas are really good as well. ”
