Carretas

We had a great experience here. We stopped at this place after passing by and looking for something easy. We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the restaurant is inside. The salsa had a great taste and the service was attentive. My entire family enjoyed their meal. The shredded chicken has a great taste. Highly recommend the quesadillas! We will return!

Very attractive, well appointed Mexican restaurant in West County. Excellent server. Very friendly. Chorizo was pretty good. Rice was very light and fluffy but not terribly flavorful. This probably won’t be your favorite Mexican restaurant. Lots of style, but falling short on substance. Chips and salsa were good.

This was our first time visiting and unfortunately it will also be our last. When we sat down, the manager came by and took our drink order. A few minutes later our waitress dropped the drinks off but didn’t greet us, introduce herself, or check in at all. After that, she completely disappeared. During that time, she waited on at least three other tables that had been seated after us while we sat there for about 15 minutes with no service. We eventually had to flag someone down just to ask who our waitress was so we could place our order. When she finally came over, the first thing she said was, “Are you ready to order?” without any acknowledgment that we had been sitting there waiting the whole time. The manager later came over and said it was just a “mishap” and not intentional, but t

The decorations of the restaurant were really nice and created a great atmosphere. The food was okay overall, but the prices were a little on the high side for what you get. Still a pleasant place to visit, especially if you appreciate the ambiance.

Carretas is a wonderful Mexican restaurant. It’s not your typical loud, brightly painted spot — instead, it offers a more relaxed, sit-down atmosphere where you can truly enjoy yourself. The Mexican cuisine is excellent, and the margaritas are absolutely delicious. A great place for a quality meal and a great drink.
