Taqueria La Carreta

Do not eat here. This is the second time I’ve eaten here and the second time I’ve gotten violently sick. I first tried this place shortly after moving to Lakewood about 8 months ago and decided to give it one more chance with a different meal. That was a huge mistake. From my experience, the entire place felt unsanitary. Drinks were stored in room-temperature plastic bins with exposed ice and no lids, which immediately raised concerns for me. After I got sick, I noticed their food safety rating posted in a spot that’s easy to miss—something I wish I had seen sooner. I’ve now been sick for over 13 hours with chills, cold sweats, nonstop vomiting, and constant trips to the bathroom. On top of that, the food wasn’t even good—bland, poorly seasoned, and nothing like authentic Mexican food.

Really enjoyed this spot. I had seen a friend post about it a couple of times and the food looked trendy and delicious so I knew I had to make a trip in. The place is clean and inviting. I was greeted immediately and sat down to check out the menu. They had a decent variety of things from your every day tacos and burritos all the way to elaborate seafood and meat platters. Serving staff was great and very friendly and happy to be there. Prices were great for the portions and the food was delicious. I tried 5 different things and all of them were great with the exception of the rice and beans. And they weren't bad, rather just not as creative and flavor packed as the rest of the meal. I spend $24 before taxes but It was also so filling that I took half of it home to enjoy again. I'll defi

Sooo good! You have to try this place!

Good birria not so much the regular carne asada meat though

Better than laclifia. An ocean view would have been great. Very large portions of food are served with each order. Very cleanliness seem to be in order. The staff is right on tables once the customer leaves. I WIIL GO BACK. One of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to here in T-Town. I would recommend this place to all..
