I have never been to Nashua and we were looking for a nice place to eat on Mother's Day with my mom's vegetarian friend. We were all really happy with La Carreta. We had a very short wait, only 5 minutes, which was a nice surprise since there was 6 of us and they were pretty busy. We had a... More

Best place to get a consistently well made margarita, with top shelf tequila, which is not watered down. Beware of the Monstruo (32oz)...it sounds like a good idea at the time, but be ready to spend a few hours waiting to sober up! The best mexican food in the area, bar none. I can recommend so many dishes....chile relleno is... More

We love this place. When we say we want Mexican we don't figure out where we just go. Great food and value, fast service, clean and love the 1800 margueritas with a splash of Grand Manier. The one thing that would top it off is Mariachi band during the weekend. Probably wouldn't get in the joint though. adiós

I'm reasonably discerning when it comes to Mexican food because it has become so Americanized over the years. So I appreciate the difference when I come across authentic flavors, preparation, and quality. La Carreta provides all three at a reasonable price combined with good service. They started carrying Herradura a while ago and if you know tequila, then you know... More

We were happy to hear that a new La Caretta opened up in Manchester, where Uno's used to be, across the street from the ever backed up Olive Garden. It's our new favorite spot for a quick, cheap, meal. I first heard about this chain when visiting the Nashua restaurant with a group of people from work. They have a... More

Living in Southern NH and having worked many months in Matamora Mexico I was surprise as the food that they had on the menu and the taste of the food. Very reasonable prices. The trick is to get in before 5PM during the week or you may be waiting for a table. The tables turn quickly and it normally is... More

We have gone to La Carreta for years when shopping in Nashua on Daniel Webster Hwy. and sometimes for dinnner on the weekend, driving up Rte. 3 from Mass. On a weekend night it's best to get a table before 5:30pm as it is very popular and there are often people waiting outside with pagers for a table. The Enchilada... More

Wha a fun experience, real Mexico, at a great price. A bit of an experience that wa snot fun because it seemed a bit of a cultural situation, in real Mexico I have always felt that the entire experience was a shared experience whereas this seemed to be disconnected, none the less, the food was tasty.
