“ Good service, great song sung to my son for his birthday, though it was in Spanish, and was told by our server that he couldn't translate it for us. He just knew how to sign it. The song was obviously not Happy Birthday normal song. Much longer and no repeating words. ”
“ Very busy on Saturday nights. I was on a list for over a half hour. Text was sent to me when my table was ready. Friendly service. Menus are available online. Coupons may be available in the Hippo newspaper. I ordered Alitas, fried chicken wings, for an appetizer. My sinuses paid for it! I had Ranchero Chef's Special, steak with grilled peppers, tomatoes, onions and your choice of fajitas and chicken enchilada. Dessert was Flan was the right amount without overfilling your stomach. My unsweetened ice tea was refilled without asking. All of my food was good, though the steak had a bit to much fat. Salsa and nachos were offered as an appetizer. I had leftovers and it made a good lunch and dinner. Wifi available. Parking lot can fill up fast. May want to call ahead on weekends. I recommend a visit. Update: Saturday afternoon, February 2021; I had the Speedy Gonzales with chicken , a taco with an enchilada and Mexican rice. F Service was great ! Only issue, the taco tasted okay but lacked in filling. It needed tomatoes and a little sour cream. Cheese and lettuce was just thrown in. Update: March -May 2021; Great service, good food. I had the Lunch Special#12 with a chicken taco . Everything tasted good , but, the taco was lacking. I had a burrito and enchilada or two of the same item. Special Lunch #9, tamale and burrito with rice ,and it was good. Special Lunch #8. Burrito, tostada and Mexican rice . Yum ! Update: January 2022; Special Lunch #10, Enchilada, tostada and cheese quesadilla. Very good. Special Lunch #3, Enchilada, taco , rice and refried beans. Taco needs more but the rest was good ! Update: May 2025; Special Lunch #5, Burrito , Taco and Mexican Rice . I requested chopped tomatoes be added to my taco and I enjoyed my taco! Yummy! Still great service! ”
“ “Grilled” chicken tacos was more like microwaved or boiled chicken. Margarita was strong… as long as you don’t have taste buds it’s great. No rim, and crazy bitter. Some of the better Mexican food in Manchester, but honestly that’s not saying much. If you absolutely must have an enchilada then this place is passable…. Just barely… ”
“ I had molcajete last night at this La Carreta and oh my God was it good. My husband and I frequent this restaurant a couple/few times a month. I’ve always wondered about the molcajete but finally after about four years decided to try it. Beef, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo with onions, peppers, and whole jalapeños served in a giant lava stone cauldron. It is now my favorite Mexican dish of all time. A bit spicy to me but I’m a wimp and even I could handle it. The flavor though… just amazing. Do yourself a favor and try it. Either share it with someone or plan to take the leftovers home because it definitely feeds at least two. I was able to get 3 meals out of it and loved every bit. ”
“ Super tasty food, and good sized drinks! I had the Beef Verdes, blood orange-rita, and we got the bean dip. I definitely recommend! ”
“ This was a blast from the past for me and I wasn't let down. The giant (birdbath) margaritas were fantastic, the service was excellent, as I was catching up with an old friend, so they left us alone (thanks!) and they did a half serving (by request) of the Santa Fe nachos because I can't eat like I used to - and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back! ”
