★★★☆☆ 3.0 DivingDancer · Nov 2025

Enchiladas Banderas we're quite good. The rice is your standard American Mexican restaurant fare. Abundant chips and salsa, and the salsa was pretty good. The margaritas are legitimately bad. Pretty sure they just pour them out of a bottle. Service was friendly, and attentive. I would go back for the food, but I would skip the Margaritas.

★★★★★ 5.0 EB Explore · Aug 2024

Great food, fresh and well prepared. Fried ice cream is a must. Would love to hear some louder music and possibly more lively atmosphere. Skinny margs are alright, good tequila quantities but would be nice if they offered a fresh house-made marg mix. Rather than the syrup. I’d rate the burritos on the high end!

Great food very low price! Very good drinks and service too.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Roger Cook · May 2023

Was a good spot for lunch. Price and quality and quantity were on point. 4 of us and with two beers and two waters ( the ladies' lol) bill was in the 60s with tip. Not bad nowadays for 4. Food was tasty with plenty of it! Friendly staff with a little language barrier, but still good. Bathrooms were awesome, I have to say. It looks like their may have been some outside seating that may be pet friendly. Not sure but I will update the review after we go back with the hound in tow. I think in lynchburg there is three of these restaurants. Not sure if the others share the same menus or have outside seating, but this one was definitely worth the visit and return visit. Check em out! Had another wonderful, tasty meal here. My third. Food was on point. Price was on point. Salsa was on point. Serv

We eat at LaCaretta quite often, manly Wards Road. Was in the area so called in an order to pickup the food was overcooked and burnt in all of our meals, no salsa and only one small bag of chips for three meals. Definitely will never go back to the Forest location.
