Taqueria El Carreton

If you are looking for a spot that delivers authentic vibes and unforgettable flavor, this place hits the mark. Right when you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone. Authentic Mexican music fills the room, creating the kind of energy that makes you want to settle in and enjoy the experience. Now let’s talk food… because that is where they shine. The fish tacos were outstanding. Perfectly breaded, light, crispy, and full of flavor. Exactly what great fish tacos should be. And Taco Tuesday did not disappoint. The seasoned pork tacos were on point. Tender, flavorful, and well balanced. But the highlight for me? The house made hot sauce. The heat level was just right and the flavor was incredible.

Menudo is not stew plus where’s the tripe? You can’t put pure tomatoes over fat expecting to add onion and cilantro to it. The oil from the fat does not compliment for flavoring. Nothing but the fat pieces for my taco’s. Use to be really good. Just check on your quality time to time!

I’m very disappointed with this place. I ordered tacos and they completely forgot my vegetables. When I called about the mistake, instead of offering to make it right with a fresh order, they came to pick up the missing vegetables—seriously?! That’s ridiculous. This is not the first time I’ve had an issue here, and the inside of the place is dingy and unwelcoming. I expected better service and quality. Definitely won’t be coming back.
