La Carreta offers flavorful Mexican dishes like pozole, menudo, and tortas, often praised for generous portions and authentic tastes reminiscent of regional favorites. Many diners appreciate the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, with several recommending signature items such as enchiladas, birria tacos, and tamales. However, experiences vary—some guests report slow or indifferent service, lapses in cleanliness, and occasional quality issues like greasy dishes or long wait times. Pricing has risen, which some find steep for the value. Overall, La Carreta remains a beloved spot for local flavors, though inconsistent service and occasional oversights may affect repeat visits.

As we entered, the staff's greeting was lackluster. However, a young boy—probably working on his day off from school—approached us and brightened my day with his attentiveness. Our server was friendly, and the food exceeded my expectations. Rating: Food: 4, Service: 2, Atmosphere: 2.

I wouldn't recommend dining here. The service was extremely slow, and the chips were soggy. The chip dip resembled Code Red Mountain Dew, and the food tasted like it came straight from a can. Our waiter only came to our table once while we were eating.

We enjoyed an authentic Mexican meal which was delicious! I can recommend the shrimp fajita.

A hidden gem in Gallup, NM. We had birria tacos and a bowl of pozole. Both were fresh and authentic. We?ll be back!
