“ First time here my experience was great. The staff was really kind. Would like to go back to try their margaritas and other menu items. Only thing is my burrito fajita came without the fajita part only got chicken but I was hungry and the chicken was well seasoned. I'm sure they would of fixed it if I asked. Oh and the queso was some of the best I've had. ”
“ I found this review in my old phone when I upgraded..lol..I had tried them their opening day and predicted nothing but good things and success. I had a delicious Burrito for lunch today so nothing has changed..still excellent !! ... ”
“ My wife Pam wanted to go to Hobby Lobby in Marshalltown yesterday and suggested we try the La Carreta Mexican Restaurant, we're very happy we did. Before retiring from Alliant Energy I have heard nothing but good things about this restaurant but not living in Marshalltown we just never got around to trying it, that's all changed now. From the moment we entered we were made to feel like family, the gal who served us was off the charts awesome, very helpful, cheerful and attentive and knowledgeable about their offerings, we couldn't ask for more. Our order came quickly and way exceeded our expectations in deliciousness and at a very reasonable price. This was an exceedingly good eating experience, from beginning to end. Can't wait to return for more, between the two of us a four thumbs up and my coveted cleaned plate award. ”
“ Amazing food and and great service...the Mega Monster Burrito was great Carnita style. Street Tacos were loaded up! Refreshing Margaritas to boot! ”
“ This Mexican restaurant is very good. The service and atmosphere was top-tier. I got the steak lunch quesadilla and it was good but the rice was a little bit below my standards. ”
“ Amazing food Amazing staff. Worth what you pay. Godzilla burrito is huge but Amazingly delicious with different meats that blend together. The shrimp cocktail was perfect. ”
“ Wow. Coming from the Des Moines area I’m always nervous to be out in smaller communities due to the lack of vegan options. The Vegan Al Pastor Fajita was out of this world. The atmosphere of the restaurant is so charming. Our server was great. We will 100% be back in the future. ”
“ Boy am I glad I read the reviews. These were some of the best fish tacos I’ve ever had, and the portions were enormous! I ordered it to go because I was traveling and I think I used the dipping sauce as salsa, oops. The stuff was pretty hot, but very very good. I will definitely be back here when I come to Marshalltown again ”
