The menudo was pretty, im not fan of menudo with hominy corn, i think its more for pozole but, the flavor was good, not so greasy, the attention was ok, we did have to ask for all the condiments like salsas & onions, cilantro bc none of that was brought to the table.

I’ve been going to La Carreta for over 15 years. The owner has always been kind and welcoming he knows my mother and me because we’ve been loyal customers for many years. The food has always been great, and it’s been one of our favorite local spots.
However, the last few times we’ve visited, we’ve noticed the portions have gotten smaller. I understand inflation affects businesses, but what I don’t agree with is being charged for things that are supposed to be included with our meals. For example, dishes like chorizo con huevo or machaca have always come with two tortillas. We were a group of seven split between two small tables four at one table and three at the other. When the tortillas came, we only received three total. We asked the waiter (not the owner) for the missing tortillas and a little extra salsa since we had to share one small cup between both tables.
When the bill arrived, we were surprised to see extra charges for both the tortillas and salsa $3.00 for salsa that’s normally complimentary! We brought it up, and the waiter eventually removed the charges, but it left a bad impression.
We’ve supported La Carreta for years because we believe in supporting small businesses, but it’s disappointing to see this kind of nickel-and-diming, especially paired with poor service. The owner should really consider hiring a more courteous waiter someone who greets customers and treats them with the same warmth the restaurant used to be known for. Unfortunately, we will no longer support this business. Check your bill to make sure you are not being charged for things that are complimentary.

La Carreta is a small in the whole restaurant serving amazing Mexican food making everything fresh from scratch from their small kitchen. We have been coming to the La Carreta for couple of years enjoying their homemade cuisine. The restaurant is very popular and always gets pack with the locals and people across the city to venture to the restaurant to tryout the food.

New owners who waited on us and seemed to care about this place that is a wonderful throwback to the old days and has been in operation since 1930. The food is very good; they also bought the recipes. When we came back a second time it took half an hour to order because the waitress was absent from the place – another table also came in and then they were served first. I would not go back; there are too many other places in the neighborhood. They use store-bought tortillas unlike other places nearby.

A sweet little piece of Mexico with its full flavors and full onset artistry feel. Love. love the chorizo burritos, chilaquilles w/sunny side up eggs and Machaca with rice and beans. It’s what I had and since then I’ve been hooked. I enjoy coming here with my husband and enjoying a quiet and flavorful Mexican dish- reminding me of my childhood days – eating good home cooked Mexican food. I strongly recommend La Carreta Mexican Restaurant. Street parking only.

Good hole in the wall that has been around a very long time. Good place for a date, family, or older crowds looking for home cooking style food.

This is some of the most authentic and best tasting Mexican food in the city. You can’t go wrong with any order off the menu. I would recommend coming for breakfast and ordering the chilaquiles!

La Carreta is a small, but not too small restaurant in an adorable area of East Los Angeles. Inside it is cute, there is plenty of seating and they keep it ever so clean.
The service here is amazing. They take good care of you and will explain the menu to you. There were a few things of which I was not familiar, and it was explained so well and of course we tried it. Yum.
This is a family owned place and I am not sure but I think one of owners was our server. She was just so lovely.
This is traditional Mexican food, but there are things you don’t tend to see elsewhere. We always like to try new things. All of it was great.
Their burrito rojo or the burrito relleno are both great. You can get this at most great Mexican places. These were super good. Their chips are great as are their beverage offerings. They do not sell alcohol.
This was our first time having chilaquiles con nopales and camarones ranchero and boy were they great. We all shared everything.
They are only open for breakfast and lunch. You can dine there, do take out or have a delivery service get your food. We ate there. They make you feel at home.
