La Carreta

I tried to call in a to-go order so it would be ready when I got there. I left work, and dialed their number. The waitress immediately asked me to hold when she picked up and I agreed. She didn't actually put the phone on hold so I was able to hear her continue to chat with customers at the bar, and go about her business. Which is to say she didn't seem very busy. I was still on hold 15 minutes later when I walked in and so I just stayed on the phone. I watched as she puttered around the bar checking on her customers who all seemed to be pretty well taken care of... still on the phone still on hold. She finally seemed to notice her phone was more or less off the hook and picked it up and asked if I wanted to place an order. I said yes, but that I was already at the bar so she might as well turn around and take my order in person. She slowly turned around to see me waving at her. I said "hi" into my phone since she still had hers up to her ear. She nonchalantly put her phone on the receiver and walked over saying, "You must have been on hold for a while." As if this happens 10 times a day. And no apology. I ordered nachos, they were very good and made to my liking. The wait staff needs a little more training. The Bar tender is supposed to be the best waiter in the establishment. If she cant even offer an apology for a long hold time...

Please stop everything you’re doing and go to La Carreta on Bluebonnet in Baton Rouge. I sincerely believe they must have a whole vegetable garden on-site somewhere because the avocados and tomatoes and veggies on my avocado steak salad were so fresh and perfectly ripe. They tasted like someone plucked it from the garden and put it on the plate. It was probably the best salad I’ve ever had. Honestly couldn’t make it any better if I tried including the grilled fajita steak which was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Reece was a great server and checked in on us often, not that we needed much because our food was flawless. 50/10 would recommend. Definitely best tex mex in Baton Rouge. I’m about to join an email list or something because I’m def coming back here, and I’m genuinely upset I haven’t been coming here for the last 7 years that I’ve been in BR.

Not the best Mexican food I’ve ever had but always the nicest staff and quick service! Queso is delicious!
