La Carreta

I'm not one to write reviews but this was such a bad experience I had to share. We ordered 2 adult plates and a kids meal. Our waitress watched our son dump a cup of water on my husband's lap and didn't offer us napkins, we had to ask for them. We never got refills or more salsa, even after we asked, and we had to ask another waitress twice for what we needed. The icing on top of the cake was we were charged extra because we told them to omit the taco shell from our kids meal. When we asked at checkout, we were told they charged us extra for the meat in the taco.

Just a few shady experiences.. first my friend and I went and she had a rock in her food. Then recently I gave them another chance and went to pick up a to go order. As I was paying for my food I asked for a reminder of what I ordered (because the total he gave me didn’t seem right) he pecked around on the computer and told me a different amount. When I looked at my receipt I realized that gratuity was added on my to go order… in addition to the to go plate fees.

I placed a pick up order last night. I had an order of rice, beans, and salad. I paid $9.83 for my order. What I received wasn't worth $5.00. I took a picture of it, that's how bad it was. There wasn't a tablespoon of beans, and maybe 3 tablespoons of rice with a sprinkle of lettuce, and just a drop of sour cream on top of the lettuce. A 2-year old child would still be hungry after eating this. I wish I could post the picture. This was the worst of the worst.

This is my go-to Mexican restaurant in Lexington. Arturo, Alejandro, David and Miguel, ( The manager, ) are the best! The service is always friendly and prompt, The food is amazing. I got the steak fajitas. The portions are huge and always cooked to perfection! I'm never disappointed when I come here. Kudos to La Carreta, friendly and efficient staff, excellent food. Overall. A great place to eat!

it's crazy that there's no refill on the horchata when it's a watered down drink and $4.50 each but yet softdrinks have free refills and $7.50 for a bowl of cheese dip and the service wasn't good i had to wait several times to get our waitress and even waited at the register while the guy kept seating people and doing other things instead of working the register. apparently they don't trust other employees to sit people while he works the register.
