"This is my favorite spot for Mexican food! We absolutely love this restaurant— the food is consistently delicious and the prices are reasonable. The service is friendly, the music is enjoyable, and the drinks are great. Even though there was one time when they misplaced our order, we keep coming back for more. There’s paid parking available on Magazine Street, but you can also find free parking on the side streets. By the way, the Carne Asada Fajita is absolutely amazing!"

We were able to walk in for a quick dinner and had a wonderful experience with some amazing dishes! The Cajun grilled shrimp was one of our favorites!

I have to say, I can't get enough of Tuesdays for the tacos! The service is outstanding! Maybe I should have mentioned that first, but I’m too lazy to rearrange my thoughts.

I can only say WOW! This hidden gem is one of the best-kept secrets in New Orleans. The space has recently been renovated, making it clean and bright, and the food was simply DELICIOUS!

Only one waiter on staff it seemed but did have help from another worker delivering food to tables as it came up. Good food, alway enjoy it. Had a build your own barbacoa burrito with the bean soup. Chips, salsa and queso to start. View menu

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the city! I live just across the street and have tried all the dining options in the area. When they first opened, I was a bit uncertain, but I finally decided to give it a chance last week. I was completely impressed by the extraordinary flavors and quality of the food. It’s fantastic and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is wonderful too.

I've been dining at La Carreta for over 19 years, and this brand-new location beautifully honors the family-run restaurant's legacy while infusing it with a taste of New Orleans. I highly recommend trying the barbacoa and steak tacos, especially paired with their unique red sauce that's specific to this location. Don't forget to sample one of their handcrafted margaritas! I’m excited to see how this spot flourishes on Magazine Street.
