Reviews for La Carreta Mexican Restaurant in Portsmouth, NH
The menu is much like most Mexican restaurants I've been to. Even though they were busy our server was attentive and friendly. ... The outdoor eating area is spacious. Read more
Had the Steak Colorado Burrito. Great sized portion with the rice and beans. Red sauce was quite mild yet still plenty... flavorful. Beans had a nice kick to them. We ate outside; such a casual and relaxing atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend! ???? Read more
June 2022 Update Much better experience than my earlier review. Drinks were excellent service was excellent and the waitstaff... kept us going with chips and salsa! Nice outdoor seating great vibe. Much better this time so I've updated my rating. Thingsseem to be improving, although in fairness, just went for drinks and snacks this time, not a meal. Read more
Service, drinks and salsa were all good- but the food was very mediocre. Bland and little to no spice or seasoning. I couldn?t... even eat the chile relleno, it was super undercooked and had raw flour throughout. Read more
We ordered take out and it was really a disappointing experience personally for me. I ordered the cazuelon dish that was... supposed to have grilled rib eye steak, chicken with sides of pico de gallo, rice, and beans. I was so hungry and but when I gotthe dish, it was a thin piece of barely sautéed steak 1/4 thick that had no flavor or seasoning. It didn?t look like a rib eyesteak since it was very dry but had a lot of fat on the sides. It just seemed like an old cut of meat since it was so brown andanemic with no juices of any sort that you would associate with a ?steak?. The chicken was actually pretty flavorful but itwasn?t grilled and was also very thin. The pico de gallo was also missing and the food was like barely warm. Rice was okay, alittle hard and fried beans were the other only flavorful element. I?m not sure why I had to pay almost 20 dollars for thiswhen it?s worth less than 5. Horchata was also really watery and had no cinnamon/vanilla flavor. I have made horchata myself andit shouldn?t have this weird fruity taste. Also ordered the flan but haven?t eaten it yet because it looks weird sitting inwatery caramel with whip cream melted all over with a cherry on top? My boyfriend ordered mole chicken enchiladas which wereokay but some part of his salad tasted like it had household cleaner in it. And his mom got one of the combos which she said ittasted good and fine. Guacamole dip was actually decent. I guess just order certain things? 30 bucks down the drain on my partand could have used it elsewhere amongst the many other good restaurants here Read more
Great service and good food ????! They take cleaning very seriously with a sanitation station and cleaning a table as soon as... customers leave. I got a taste of the disinfectant when a breeze blew in my face while eating:). Umbrellas over the tables andWifi available. I ordered the 6 piece chicken wings with the hot sauce. My sinuses paid the price! I had the Steak Mexicana asmy main course, but, they forgot the guacamole for my salad. For dessert I had the Xango, with cheesecake filling. Freshunsweetened tea with lemon, with free refill, was my drink. I enjoyed my meal. Complimentary nachos and salsa wereoffered. Though service was friendly and my wait time for my food was reasonable, service was a little slow. But, I definitelydidn't feel rushed, but, they forgot to process my Coutopia certificate correctly and took awhile to process my bill. I enjoyedmy view ???? because I kept marveling at how Portsmouth has changed for the better over the decades. A dog was allowed to sitwith its owner at the table and was very popular with fellow patrons. The ???? was well behaved. I recommend a visit. Update:Saturday afternoon, January 2021; I was seated at the bar and service was good. I had the lunch special#5, taco ???? and aburrito ????, both with chicken ????, with Mexican rice. It tasted good. At the shift change, both bartenders checked on thecustomers around the bar. They had a little trouble processing my coupon from the Hippo ???? Press newspaper ????. Update:Saturday afternoon, May 2021; Outdoor dining has reopened. I ate at the bar. Lunch Special#8, burrito, tostada and Mexican rice????. A lot of lettuce ???? on the tostada but I enjoyed my lunch. I couldn't finish. Large portion. Wifi was working. Friendlyservice from the bartender. Refill on drink was offered and accepted. No trouble processing my Hippo ???? Press coupon. Reallynice bathroom. Update: Saturday afternoon, August 2021; Lunch Special #3, Taco ????, enchilada and Mexican rice. A good lu Read more
Absolutely loved this place. The wife got tanked off one margarita. The cheese dip was quickly devoured and the Chile relleno... and taco special was some of the better Mexican food I've had and the salsa was a great consistency. Some of the best Mexicanfood in the area. Read more
