Really enjoyed the food and service was excellent and extremely attentive from the entire staff. Love that they have a salsa bar to choose for yourself.
We were sat with Jason P and had the same level of excellent service as always. The food was great, we had the Molcajete and Birria burritos. Highly recommend. The new layout is really coming into its own and they continue to improve it.
The place was awesome. Food great, drinks exceptional and the atmosphere was positive. Nidal was courteous and Emily was aggressively hospitable and memorable.

Had a wonderful experience yesterday. Came in with a large group and the staff knocked it out of the park. I loved the salsa bar. So much fun to try all the different flavors. I was amazed at how everything looked. We had a party of 20 ladies and everyone's dinners came out accurate and delicious. I had a chimichanga with beef tips. Beef was really tasty and worked really good with the queso sauce. I would recommend highly
My favorite place for a taco salad! They have recently expanded by taking over the boba tea place next door and making that a part of the dining room which has given them MUCH more space by the bar. They remodeled the decor and design on the inside and I just love it! Modern and yet so very Las Carretas! The service is always friendly and fast! They have live mariachi bands weekly as well as table side guacamole. The complementary chips still have that expansive toppings bar in the central location on that inside. They have outdoor seating available as well. And let me tell you they need it on cinco de mayo! This place is a PARTY on May 5! I will always choose las carretas over other Mexican restaurants in my area and there are a LOT of them.
Great food, great service, fun lively atmosphere! It's kind of loud, but it's a big enough space that you can still hear your table mates talk. Great selection of margs and other cocktails. They also have a help yourself salsa bar! Our food came out fast and hot and fresh, delicious!
Love, love, LOVE this place! First time while visiting Orlando. Food is out of this world. Service is extremely quick and friendly. Making this a regular stop for us whenever we come to Orlando. Thanks to Cris for being our incredible server! They even offer a salsa bar and of course classic Latin music.
we had a really great experience eating here! we were seated right away because we sat outside and it was a super cold night when we went but it wasn't bad at all because they had heaters! i think our servers name was emily i can't remember :/ but she was so nice and had our food and drinks come out super quick! everything was so good! we ordered birria tacos and a burrito! the portions were huge! for drinks we got a sangria and frozen strawberry daiquiri which was huuuuuuge jaja. i definitely want to come back next time i visit and try the guacamole i've seen so many good reviews about it!
Went in to pick up lunch. First, big banner announcing their Happy Hour specials. As I entered I enjoyed the beautiful decor for day of the dead. Bar is located in back which I appreciate so kiddos aren't so close when enjoying that HH. Large patio to the side. As I waited for my food, I watched plates go by. Presentation was beautiful my to go order was also a good presentation. The only thing I didn't like, it may be my mistake, I thought it had Oaxaca cheese inside my Chile Relleno and I believe it was Panela which is my least favorite Mex Cheese. When I ordered 'Chiles Toreados' I was expecting just the sautéed peppers, the onions were a nice added touch. Definitely worth the visit when in Winter Park area.
