La Carreta

Disappointed with food and service! We have been several times and usually it's pretty good. We like that you get sopapillas and ice cream for free! And usually the service is pretty good. But we came recently on a Friday night early like 530 so they were not very busy but our waiter was all over the place, took forever to get whatever we would ask for and often would forget to bring it so we had to remind him. We were the only table he had the entire time. My food, which I ordered the steak beef enchilada plate, was underwhelming, small portion size and just so so flavor. My husband enjoyed his meal very much I forget what he got. We'll go back and hope for the best in the future.

So I am originally from Houston TX, and moved out here to Nacogdoches to attend school here. I have been here for about a week and start to feel home sick so I decide to grab a couple of my friends and go try this little Mexican restaurant. That was the WORST idea I had come up with since being here. At first the service was pretty good like anything you would expect from a restaurant, we got our drinks chips and ordered our food. Not knowing what to get we all decide to order the fiesta platter since there was 4 of us. We sat in our booths eating nothing but chips and salsa for TWO hours waiting for our food. When the food finally arrived it was the biggest disappointment in a restaurant I have ever had. The fajita was hard as a brick, the so called chicken tasted like fish, the quail look completely burned and unetable, the "catfish" tasted exactly like eggs, the chicken wings and ribs had to flavor what so ever, the rice tasted bland there was really no certain flavor to the rice, the beans were very cold, and the disgusting so called fish casserole that looked like dog food. Needless to say the food was bad just plain bad. We complained to the manager of the establishment and all he did was act like he didn't know what was happening in English and Spanish. Along with the managers the waiters there were giving us smart mouth remarks about our complains on the wait of the restaurant. I highly advise you to not go to this so called "Mexican" the food is naaty and the service is bad, you will save time and money by not going to this place and going somewhere else.

This is our go-to restaurant in Nacogdoches whenever we invite someone out to eat. I was so embarrassed after telling my sister how great it was but the food was tasteless and Bland. I felt sorry for the server who was spending that day and the next day working 12-hour shifts and it was his 21st birthday. Needless to say I called the manager over and explained how awful everything was. Just so happens I know the owner so I've let him know about the terrible food there as well
