La Carreta Mexican Restaurant

Been here twice now and had a great experience both times. The prices are excellent and the food is great. Friendly staff and nice relaxing environment. We had the fried ice cream (Delicious!) and they have BOGO margaritas on Mondays. Definitely will be going back often.

Holy cow, the food here was awesome! Our waiter made sure that we had plenty of chips and salsa. I had the special dinner and was blown away at the quality and quantity of food that it came with. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. This is definitely one of the best Mexican restaurants in Manitowoc.

Food is excellent! Very reasonably priced, and good size portions. I'm not fond of spicy food, and my meal wasn't. Just VERY flavorful, and a good blend of cooked and fresh foods. There are more spicy options on the menu, or they have a variety of hot sauces available. It was MUCH better than the Mexican restaurant I had visited on the way Southwest side of Manitowoc. I highly recommend.

A lively, colorful place to dine in. Food is served hot and quickly, chips and salsa very tasty. Drinks are available and service is friendly and attentive. Winning situation for a good lunch.

Good, authentic Mexican food. Large portions. Delish margaritas. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Oh, and the salsa is wonderful with lots of cilantro and not overly hot.

Great food very fast service Margaritas are always top notch

We originally stopped in La Carreta to celebrate my birthday but were extremely surprised to find that the food was over the top with flavor and not at all over-priced! For $12.99, both my husband and I chose the Special Dinner, which consisted of a chili relleno, taco, chalupa, tamale, enchilada, rice and beans. It came to us, both, served on two plates each! Oh, my goodness the food! My husband is a big eater and even HE couldn't finish half of the special! We took the remainder home in three boxes. I then ordered deep fried ice cream for $3.99. What a bargain! It comes topped with chocolate sauce, real whipped cream and a cherry, (with a stem) and it's all served in a fried flour tortilla, yum, yum, yum😋! Our server was right on top of everything and answered all our questions, refilled our drinks without us asking him to do so and took very good care of us. Loved the atmosphere as well. They did a great job decorating the restaurant as well.
I emplore all of you Mexican food lovers-TRY LaCARRETA, you will NOT be disappointed! I give it FIVE STARS⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ordered takeout here today and it was awesome. They offer HUGE portions at reasonable prices. Their chicken quesadilla does not skimp on the chicken and they included these delicious warm tortilla chips. Just great food at great prices with friendly service. I recommend this place!

Best Mexican food in town! Margaritas are great, after she has a couple the road head home is fantastic!!! Can't wait to go back.

My husband went here for the first time ever and proclaimed this his favorite restaurant in the area. Wonderful Mexican food. Service is prompt and polite. For two people and a child with drinks we spent around $40. Margaritas are soooo good but be careful. One jumbo and you may have to call for a ride!!

They do get busy around meal times especially on the weekend.

It was my first time in Manitowoc, WI and trying this place was so delicious. The tilapia meal was great and we also got a burrito. Highly recommend this place! It’s authentic and they have good margaritas.

Great food, great prices, fantastic service! Highly recommend

I've been there twice but I figured I'd give it another shot. So here it goes with better understanding. Service went really well. Everyone was in a uniform so it was a pretty professional attitude towards food. One of the better ones I've seen from a smaller restaurant. Prices were about average. Food was excellent! It was cooked well, and came out pretty fast. I wasn't disappointed this time. We went on a busier night so service was kinda slow and food was put together kinda fast, but still didn't lose the last. I will say busier nights your gonna suffer in service but the quality won't suffer. So give it a shot. Their guacamole is the best thing I've put in my mouth btw.

Our favorite restaurant to dine at while staying in Manitowac. Please support this lovely Mexican restaurant’s fantastic food.

The environment is warm and welcoming! The food and service is top notch. I've come here a few times and really enjoy the Fajita combo (steak, chicken, shrimp). The menu is also very kid friendly for the ones not so interested in Mexican cuisine.

New to the area, but somehow they found out it was my wife's birthday and mailed us a coupon for a free meal so we went there for lunch with the kids. Chips and salsa came out quickly and the salsa was delicious (I like cilantro and you could definitely taste it...it was a mild salsa...good for the kids). Prices were reasonable. About $6 for most of the lunch menu items. I liked the variety of options on the children's menu (12 and under, $4.25 per meal and inluded drink - see photo). Service was quick. Ordered a blended margarita, and it came on the rocks, but the waiter fixed it promptly. I had the seafood chimichanga. It was good, but more grilled peppers than seafood. Next time I'll probably go for the beef chimi instead. Happy hour menu looked enticing, because I like margaritas (see photo). All in all, we really liked La Carreta and plan to dine there again in the future.

Service was fabulous! Had a really fun waiter.

Dinner date, previous good experiences here keep bringing me back. Food is always good and delicious

The food was great! The atmosphere was awesome! The service was good, but the server never smiled. Margaritas were awesome! Monster size is not ideal for lunch. 😆

We ordered off of eat street app to our hotel. The food was amazing. I had a grilled chicken dish my husband had a steak dish and it was the best food we have had in a long time. I totally recommend getting the big dip trio because it was amazing. Thank you guys for making our bad day turn into a great night!!!
