Carretica Restaurant — Restaurant in Paterson

The food is good but not excellent. For the amount they charge the food should be much better. The casado with steak and sauteed onions was overcooked so much that it felt like I was chewing on rubber, they might as well have given me a hard boiled egg because the fried egg was so cooked it had no yolk to break. The mixed fried platter had no shrimp as the menu stated. The beef soup had no flavor. The prices on the menu are not updated instead they place tiny stickers on the menu stating prices are subject to change. So if you don't see the sticker and question as to why the bill is $25 more than expected, they'll point to the sticker, basically saying they have the right to charge you whatever they want. Sin verguenzas!! Cambie los precios en el menu y deje de atracar la gente!! No seas tan cara de barro! Pura Vida...

Although I’m Latina all Latin food is NOT the same. This restaurant is Costa Rican and the food was delicious! It is cute, clean, & homey…like being in your friend’s kitchen. The young lady serving us was sweet and attentive. FOOD…fresh, tasty but not overly seasoned, and savory. I’m a soup girl and this soup made my top 3. Hubby LOVED his dish and we were amazed by their rice pudding dessert

I ordered from here chicken soup for a friend that was sick and OMG it want even broth, it was water with a few pieces of pumpkin with the peel on, no flavor no noodle no chicken no salt no thing.... however the rice and meat was decent but the beans were almost like the supposibly soup... 34.00 wasted and the delivery guy was rude and inpatient, called me 3 times in less than 7 minutes rushing me after I explained to him that the person is sick... WE WILL NEVER ORDER...
