IT has been my family's favourite for over 4 yrs. There are many La Carreta branches but this is the best...the only one. Even for vegetarians like my family there are enough chocies and they are eager to customize whatever you want. Decent bar it has....good place to have a meal.

La Carretta has become an institution in lynchburg and everyone's comfort food. Whether its authentic or not can not best be answered by me. We frequently visit with family and we all have a favorite dish and we have to get several cheese dips for the table because that is not to be missed!

La Carreta is THE place for Mexican food at a great price and the folks that run it are soooo nice...we are fortunate to have TWO of them in Madison Heights! Pick either one...you won't go wrong!

I was visiting Lynchburg recently and had a taste for some authentic Mexican food. I asked a local and was directed to La Carreta's on Wards Rd. My GPS directed me to the restaurant and I was upset because of it did not look like it would authentic. When I went in I found a beautiful decorated restaurant that was... More

Large portions and fast service. The fajitas were great. This is a very popular place with the Liberty University students.

This is the only La Carreta that I tend to go to. The food is always great, it comes out fast, the waiters don't try to grope you and hit on you constantly like the ones on langhorne do. Great margaritas! Friendly staff that remembers their repeat customers and will speak even if they are not the person waiting on... More

The prices can't be beaten. The food is as close to authentic Mexican as I can find in in Lynchburg. Definitely a top choice when choosing places to go out to eat with my family and friends. As a bonus (for a Diet Coke lover), they have massive sodas for a very reasonable price.

Nothing spectacular. Just your normal Mexican restaurant. I have been here several times. Very good service.

Taquitos are incredibly tasty. Guacamole is fantastic! Try the premium margaritas with the extra tequila shot on the side.

La Carreta is by far the BEST Mexican restaurant around. I remember when they first came to Madison Heights years ago and their quality and customer service has not changed over the years. My family and I have tried other Mexican restaurants both local and while vacationing in various states and we always compare them to La Carreta and none... More
