Fritanga Nicaraguense La Carreta

Food was on the pricier side, but worth it. Got a big family plate, was enough for 5.Would come again!

Casual South Houston Nicaraguan spot known for authentic, home‑style dishes like parillada, quesillos and hearty nacatamales that many locals rave about for flavor and generous portions. Friendly owners and a warm, family vibe make it memorable, though quality and consistency can vary and the cozy space fills fast — great for adventurous, affordable Nica eats!

My boyfriend and I brought my mom here for the first time to celebrate her birthday, she is from Nicaragua, I’m from Miami and grew up eating Nicaraguan food all the time. Having moved it’s been difficult to find a quality fritanga nicaragüense. It was a far drive, and we would do it AGAIN. I got teary eyed too. This is pure Nica! Food was spectacular, price is very affordable, the owner was so welcoming and the Nica mariachi was actually super good and sung las mañanitas too! I’m so happy and thankful this place exists!!!

I had to try this place out because its not easy to find Nicaraguan restaurants. The food here is excellent and very authentic Nicaraguan dishes. Ive been here a few times and will come back for more.

I miss you both so very much. It's Crystal. I hope and pray I make it over soon to see the both of you. I love you both & your food very much. 🩷🇳🇮 God bless you! I miss my plate... EL PLATO DE CRISTÁL.
