La Carreta — Restaurant in Houma

I wanted to give it 3 stars, but apparently the service at the end made me think otherwise. I've eaten there twice. The first time: they make the best shrimp quesadillas and the enchiladas aren't that great. The service was okay that time and the waitress was informative on the menu. However, this time was a huge disappointment.

The waitress wasn't very knowledgeable on the dishes, basically repeated what the menu said; and the menu was very vague on some parts of the menu. We got the shrimp nachos and it seemed more like a taco shrimp salad with all the lettuce and tomatoes on it. Yes there were beans, shrimp, and queso on it. We knew it came with lettuce and sour cream, but we didn't expect that to drown the nachos. Otherwise the food was fresh and good. However, at the end of our meal, we spent a while waiting for our waitress and cheque. First was waiting for her to come check on us, then to bring our cheque back She was good at refills and ensuring us our food was coming, but when a big table was being made, she spent more time talking with them(no not taking their orders yet) and the fellow employees.

TL;DR some good stuff on the menu, some not good. was good service the first time I went, terrible service on the...

The best thing that I can say about this place was it was just (okay), I guess if you want to be all white girl wasted this is your spot. Basic, basic, basic, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, same thing with the service very bland. Our server was not bad, but she wasn't good. The place was almost empty on a Wednesday afternoon about 3:00 there wasn't a rush, no excuse for the lackluster service. The absolute smallest redfish tacos I have ever seen in my life, I should have taken a picture. But they were micro, they were actually smaller than the accordion holder that they bring them out in and for $19 lol We have absolutely no problem with paying for high quality service and food. However in our humble opinion we were overall displeased with our experience as it was definitely was not worth the high cost on the menu.

If you are looking forward to a truly authentic Mexican restaurant experience with phenomenal food and perfect service every time, do yourself a favor and drive right past this place and head to El Paso on west...

Very beautiful restaurant inside and out. The back patio offers a great place to relax outdoors while you enjoy the water fountain sounds with your food. Speaking of which, on to that. I ordered some tacos and the wait time wasnt bad. My waitress did a great job also. The entree I ordered came with 2 tacos, a side of rice and refried beans. Now when you order food at other Mexican restaurants around houma. You usually get an egregious portion for what you pay(usually really great on prices). But when I received my entree and la careta. I was extremely disappointed. The tacos were waaaaay smaller then I expected seeing as how I paid 12 bucks for it. For reference the soft corn shells were about 4.5 inches in diameter of that. Food tasted great, but no better then the cheaper Mexican restaurants in houma. La careta seems to be a place to go eat if you want to seem flashy or you wanna feel rich(or are rich). Give it a shot if your in the area on Tuesday tho. They have 2 dollar tacos and domestic beer which is...
