La Carreta in Marietta

Oh my goodness! This place was next level delicious! We’ll certainly be back!

The best Mexican food Ive had in Metro Atlanta. I hear the margaritas are, but havent try them yet.

We love this place! Best carnitas I’ve ever had.

My husband and I absolutely love this place, the service is phenomenal! We look forward to coming back every time. Highly recommend for great drinks, good food, and an amazing experience.

Unfortunately quality & quantity were very dissappointing. I ordered the shrimp and my wife had the pork chop. Both were disappointing especially in taste. Very plain. Beans lacked in flavor too.Its too bad as it is a cool, lively place and service is good. They just need to take a look at what they are serving and revamp.

So the waitress was not a so friendly one. I felt like she deliberately avoided us and took care of everyone around us. Then when we looked at the menu holy moly the prices are ridiculous expensive. The food was ok and I couldnt believe that you have to pay for chips and salsa lol but whatever. I woukd not recommend or come back though. Not worth the money in my opinion.

The salsas are not spicy :( this is the only downside of this place! The house salsa tasted more like marinara so we wanted to bump up the heat and asked for the tomatillo salsa…also extremely mild. Maybe they don’t want to scare people away? I prefer some heat with my meal! Perhaps because they offer more Colombian based food they aren’t so heavy on the heat. Will be back regardless!

Decent tasting food.Overpriced, and reduced portions.You will receive less food on take out.Rios restaurant in Kennesaw has better food and portions.Last time.

This place is amazing! From the food, the staff, the health score! Dinning in or taking out! AMAZING!

It was really bad to be honest I feel out of context just don’t know how to explain it but it was horrible especially the waiter carlos he was not being nice and hit a customer and got mad over the tip we gave.

Is my first time here and as a Latina I have to say…it’s GREAT food. Flavor and price just 👍🏽.As a family we had tacos, enchiladas, tortas, burrito and the Totopo. Everything was delicious.

My husband and I love it! Theres such a great variety in the menu; you can choose to eat from Mexican, Colombian or Guatemaltecan dishes, etcetera. You get a really good taste of latin food. The serving sice is great and some of the main dishes you can share. The margaritas are also good and the ambience is very welcoming.

Jackie and I stop by to have some quesadillas de carne y some Ajiaco… you have to come and enjoy a great service and very well prepared homemade food. Highly recommended.I am not even going to mention that we had some traditional margaritas that you have to try…. Margarita did not last much.

Very bad service. Not colombian food at all. It is Mexican food. I ordered Picada. They filled my plate with Chicken. They did not add any papa criolla, beef or any other ingredient in a Picada. Tacos were ok. Service so so. If you are looking for real Colombian restaurant DO NOT go to this one.

I travel a lot and alway up for something new but they say don’t judge a book by the cover.. well that was this place me and my family stop by today around 5pm and it wasn’t busy at all that kind why I don’t understand why this even happened to being with. We sat down order our food which for the price isn’t worth it..we got only half our food and had to wait for the other half but that not the worst part what really got me was the fact that we not only got half or food and not the other half but we sat there with no drink while we ate our meal and the waitress was to busy with the table that order alcohol then to pay attention to what was going on at our table. Not once did management or Any-other waiters pay attention to us trying to get someone to bring us drinks or the rest of our order.when we went to pay the lady said we had to wait till she had to go get the card reader Bc she didn’t have one oh and there is an automatic 3% to your meal if you pay with card ..so if you want over priced food and bad service we’ll y’all came to the right place 😊

I love their food, but every time when I order on Uber eats something comes wrong or missing. They never look in the Uber eats notes,Very disappointed ☹️

La Carreta is one of our go-to places for delicious, fresh and affordable options. They have wonderful, fresh lime margaritas (I wont touch drinks with sweet/sour artificial mixesand some of our faves include the fried plantains with guacamole, their tamales and their variety of a la carte tacos. We love that the restaurant isnt too big and that the service is also efficient and friendly. The attached market is a big bonus if you want to take some authentic items and ingredients home with you after your meal!

Excellent food (and plentiful). Patio is pooch friendly and the staff is super nice. Right across the street from Andretti Indoor Carting and easy access from the interstate. Brisket burritos are a must try.

The moment we walked in the door. We could tell from the atmosphere this place was different. The service is top notch. Attentive. Making sure our orders were correct and served in a timely manner. The steak enchiladas cooked in a skillet. Very authentic food. The black beans and rice. A must visit restaurant.

I Have been eating here since I was 13 years old I’m now 24 the food used to be delicious but times have Definitely changed and not for the better the waiting staff all look like high-school/collage kids now who don’t really care to be there I walked in with my family and it took 10 minutes to even be acknowledged by the hostess. then after being seated and finally ordering are food it took over 45 mins we had to ask our waiter for everything from cutlery ,napkins,water refills, straws at this point it felt like we were serving are selfs all of this could’ve been forgiven and overlooked but upon receiving food mine came out very bland rice was mushy and nowhere near upheld of how to the standard it used to be The couple next to us had a baby who accidentally spilled water on himself and all over the table the wait staff took over 10 minutes to even acknowledge the spill and legitimately brought over 3 napkins to wipe up an entire cup of water I felt bad for them. Overall unfortunately will not be going back this is probably some of the worst service I’ve received in very long time staff Seemed way more involved with them self’s each other and on their phones then the customers. DEFINITELY DONT RECOMMEND ALSO HAVE Gotten WAY MORE EXPENSIVE!

This was the worse place ever. When we got there not only did they not greet us. They purposefully ignored us. I had to ask who the host was just to get some attention. It took 45 mins to receive our food, all that waiting and then we got terrible food. My pork chop was completely charred, but it was covered in onions so I didn’t know it until I took my first bite. Do yourself a favor, and never eat at this restaurant. Unless you’re looking for Subpar service, and burnt expensive food. Would only recommend to my enemies.

Delicious and consistent. Every time I come the food is equally well done as last time. Highly recommend to get a taste of Latin food.

The food was not good at all. It tasted like it was heated in a microwave, including the salsa. My friend and I didn’t even eat it. The steak tacos was of low quality. The burrito was full of rice with 3 pieces of chicken in it like it was a joke or something. The only thing decent was the plantains.

Great place to visit, music not to loud modern noise, great food

Horrible!!! This place so you over price and the quality of food is not near comparing to like the Delicias de la Abuela for example. Just dont go here. The arrachera is a poor little piece of skirt for $20 in other places they give 3 times the amount for the same place like the Sabores del Plata o la Abuela for instance. So they dont provide much flavor not chimichurri or anything is more like a Mexican type of Restaurant than a Colombian place honestly. I had very bad experience. The server was nice and tried I leave him out of this. The beans a very plain and not the flavor should have for either Mexican or Colombian restaurant.

This is not a Mexican restaurant, nor does it claim to be. They clearly advertise that they are a Latin restaurant. The food here is outstanding. The only problem I have is choosing what to eat because its all very good.

Food is delicious every time i eat there. Just very fantastic food

Ordered the brisket burrito, not traditional with cheese and red sauce which was a bummer, but the meat had good flavor. The coleslaw as a side was good and healthy. I really enjoyed their espresso drinks latte/cuppachino, nice frothy milk, which isnt listed on their menu. They happened to have live music, not sure if thats usual or just valentines.

Great experience and Colombian authenticity. Relaxed large seating area and generous portions. If your looking for good food dont pass it up!

Very friendly and professional staff. Everything is very clean!! The barbacoa taco and steak quasidilla are best best Ive had at any restaurant (not trying to embellish). Be sure to check out the goodies in the shop. I grabbed some traditional spices as well as some of the prepackaged sweet treats they have. Great bottled soda collection!! Id leave more starts if I could.

I love the food from La Carrera. Amazing, Amazing food and affordable. The customer service is excellent and the bar drinks are what I needed it 🥴🤭.

Excellent spot to visit after a long day of work or after a visit to the nearby six flags park. Their Colombian meat platter is pretty good, you’ll get steak, sausage, pork, beans, rice with a fried egg, arepa and avocado. Everything was delicious except for the pork, it was a little dry and tough. The service was excellent and very attentive to our needs besides the food. A good experience overall for Colombian food 👍P.s. their drinks 🍹 are strong

Im very picky about my Mexican food, and in addition I have many dietary restrictions affecting my health. But I was seated where I could charge my phone (I had arrived early on Cinco de Mayoand a young waiter named Carlos came to serve me. He was new, but he carefully listened to all my dietary concerns and then showed me on the menu what I could eat within all my restrictions. It was different from what I was used to at my favorite Mexican restaurants, but I thoroughly enjoyed every bite, and I cant say enough about how attentive Carlos was throughout my meal. I bragged on him to his boss, and she was very pleased he did so well. I had flour tacos with diced roasted veggies, and flattened green plantains with guacamole, which was generous enough to spread on the tacos as well as the plantains. Rice and red beans rounded out the meal and I dont know which was the best part of the meal--it was all delicious! I will definitely go back and ask for Carlos to be my server.

Dined with my son on the patio. We ordered tacos with chips, cheese, and salsa. I really liked the salsa. Not a fan of spicy and it was perfect. I also liked that they offer a choice of corn or flour tortillas and you can mix and match if you want. Great service and food.

Have driven by for years..very pleased that I finally stopped in. Chips were very light and fresh, and the salsa was delicious. The wife had two tacos, asada and a pastor, and both were outstanding. I had the cazulea de frijoles which was also very good.We will be back!

Nice restaurant with friendly service and affordable prices. The food was really good. Chips and salsa arent complimentary. Theres a convenience store attached with lots of options. I would visit again

The food was AMAZING. Good portion of food. Great environment.

Really great service as soon as you walk in and until you leave. Very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious and fresh! Will definitely be a regular here.

Nice place and very good food. They offer a lot of things most authentic taco places offer.. but uniquely offer intersting varieties of tamales Mexican Gautamalan, and Columbian ... arepas, tostones, etc. A solid choice if you need your fix.

This place is great the atmosphere is very laid back and not Rushed which is enjoyable. The staff are very friendly and greeting. The food was amazing the guacamole was some of the best I’ve had. I will return, it’s a great place.

I love this place. The staff is friendly and the food is fresh, affordable, not greasy, and comes in generous portions. I absolutely recommend it for some awesome Columbian food.

Best hangout place for me and my friends. We love everything here especially Tostones and margaritas are to die for .. Awesome ! Dont forget to try Tres le ches cake <3

Everything I had was so delicious: camarones all ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce), coleslaw, chips & guac and agua frescas. Not sure if theyre actually called agua frescas in Columbia (like they are in Mexico), but its fresh fruit pulp blended in water. You can also get it blended with milk. I loved the mango and guava. The passion fruit reminded me of slightly tart pineapple, so it wasnt my fave.My husband enjoyed his tacos and the rice, which has corn in it. We didnt try the beans.The prices are super reasonable. The service is friendly and pretty fast. Well be coming back!

Very delicious. Lots of different options for food. Had a delicious columbian dish, something I wouldnt normally have and it was awesome and was a lot of food.

OMG! Such great food every single time’. I especially love their specials! Great for lunch or dinner! Friendly people too!

A little disappointed in the tacos as I was expecting better. I order grilled chicken, pork and the steak.The steak was the best. The nest had flavor, was tender and paired nicely with the onion and cilantro.The chicken and pork were boring. And since the tacos had the same salsa they all tasted the same. Suggestion: put different salsa on each taco.The chips and salsa were an extra 2.59 for the table. Ours did not get a refill. :(The ambience was modern and traditional at the same time and was pretty busy.There are a few TVs but the tv quality is so bad it hurt my eyes to look at it. Come one the HD package can’t be expensive.There is also a Hispanic grocery store here. Kinda neat.

Excellent food selection and the service is exceptional! I will definitely come back to have dinner again.

Not 1, but 4 or 5 different meat with sides and soup on your plate. Its a haven of meat eater. Absolutely have no complain whatsoever from my first visit. Food was great, service was great and drinks were awesome.I got their Colombian combination (I dont remember the name), but it consists of a piece of steak, sausage, pork belly, rice, avocado and soup. Delicious. I ordered Michelada and it tastes good as well. Highly recommended.

As many will tell you, the food is top notch. The margaritas, perfect harmony of flavors that you will measure all others against. The place is easy to miss, in so many ways.
