la carreta

the space is pretty large at both locations so if you are bringing a big group there is no problem finding seats for everyone. if you’re in the mood for a good alcoholic drink, order a canzuela (can-sway-la) its literly a bowl of liquor! not too strong, but you’ll feel it when you stand up. tastes great with orange slices and cherrys mixed in. if you sit in the bar there are daily drink specials

this is the best mexican restaurant i have ever been to!!!❤ the staff are wonderful and the food is also always hot, and just so good!! they give you chips and salsa and they don't make you pay for extra. miss the older man who worked here he was always going going going and was very attentive to our salsa and chips!! i just can't say anything bad about it and can't say enough good things about this place!!!❤

this place is great at keeping plenty of chips and salsa on your table. i usually get the seafood chimichanga,yum. it is loaded with large yummy shrimp and you can really taste the crab in it. i have gone there for several years and will keep going. my kids like the nachos i sampled them, thought they were very tasty.

fajita. the amount of food for the price is impressive surpassed only by the great flavors.

no thanks. went there tonight to get some dinner.
the positive: staff was friendly and the beer was cold

the negative: the chips tasted like they were fried in old putrid oil, yuck. the pico de gallo was devoid of any heat, looks like they make it with no jalapenos??? the re-fried beans tasted like they were from a can. finally the carne asada tasted like it was not marinated and needed copious amounts of salt to make it edible.

watch your bill carefully ! they will change normal prices on you for food and drinks.....and make sure to ask how much the drink/cocktails are before you order, or a normal crown royal will go from $6.50 to $9;50 when and if the bartender/owner wants......no consistency with prices ! ! this. happened to me twice.......i will never, ever go back and have them attempt that again..! stay far away from these rip off artists........

the food was wonderful. generous portions. the service was fantastic. i will absolutely be going back again and again!

amazing service, amazing food, and had an amazing time!!! we will be going back again and again!!!

easy to see why it's rated so highly!. good, cheap mexican food.

the decor was a bit of a distraction. caribbean ocean blue runs partway up the textured stucco walls. where it ends dazzling white continues to the ceiling. pink and green floral carpet battles brightly tiled table tops. murals adorn one wall and colorful decorations are suspended from the ceiling. the whole effect is one of discordant disarray. mercifully the wonderful breeze caressed patio was open.

the service was very good. we enjoyed two attentive gentlemen who made sure we wanted for nothing. one of whom started us off with a big basket of (house made? i think so.) corn chips and a dish of tangy salsa for each of us. the other brought glasses topped off with crushed ice and a large frosty pitcher of ice water.

my brother ordered a chicken enchilada combo with beans, salad and rice. he said it was all top drawer. i had a quesadilla de pollo a la carte. it was huge and came with an ice cream scoop full of sour cream and guacamole each with a whole black olive in its center arranged in such a way as to form the image of a smiley face. made me smile. to top it all off, they brought us huge sweet sopapillas drenched in syrup, whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. caramba!

neither of us could finish this much food. about half of mine will serve as dinner tonight.

oh, and the total for both meals (before well deserved and generous tip) was $13.90! unbelievable!

was good, not now. some of the bar staff are idiots......they can't seem to charge you
the same price for the same drink. they change prices on you
like normal people change their underwear..! one shot, normally
at $5, the next one could be $8 or whatever they want to change it to.
watch your bar tab carefully.............they will get ya.!

when discussed with the owner, he was an "ass" and just as
crooked as the inept bartender. i am sure of one thing; this
amigo will never go to that "gyp-joint" ever again...........too many
jackasses pulling that "carreta" along...! i guess you could say
that: i "eight·y-sixed" them..! too bad, i used to like to hang out
there in the past....."no mas, gracias"..!
.

awful!. just went last night i ordered the macho combo my shrimp were not jumbo shrimp my skirt stake was dried out my rice was over cooked my shrimp and garlic were swimming in cooking oil the only thing i liked was the salsa!

as far as i can tell, if its past 11pm in gresham this is the only place to go where the food and service is always good. 86 fast food, save yourself a stomach ache and go here for some awesome mexican food

absuletly my favorite mexican place! the waiters are fun and the food in fantastic! great prices! total thumbs up!!

good food & big portions. not fancy but great staff, good food and huge portions. very generous with chips and salsa.

salsa is yummy! we go here about 2 times a week and it's always great. portions are very big. the fajitas are the best i have had. staff is wonderful and they know us by name. try the carna asada burrito, it's one heck of a burrito!
