El Carreton Mexican Rest - Winchester

Fabulous! We drove by and were taken in by the restaurant's happy exterior. The horse and decorations caught your attention. We promptly turned the car around to have a late lunch at El Carraton. We were given a friendly welcome by the host and seated immediately. The waiter promptly took our orders. The chips and salsa were free flowing. The meals came out fast too. It was just what we were looking for in the afternoon for a late lunch. The meals were delicious and our waiter stayed on top of all of our requests. We ordered the Fish Tilapia without pineapple sauce and it was cooked perfectly. We also ordered from the vegetarian menu. They had lots of options. I really liked the beans and rice had just the right amount of cheese. It wasn't drowning in cheese so you could enjoy the flavors. The restaurant is clean and well taken care of by a friendly staff. We would love to go back the next time we are in the area.

The Chicken fajita lunch special was the best thing brought to the table. Two of us shared it and had leftovers besides. The kids pizza, taco, and taco salad were a bit of a disappointment. My son said the pizza was so-so and to be honest it didn't look that great. The taco meat looked like a watery purée. I felt bad for them. The restaurant has nice colorful accents, but the air is greasy. You know that haze from lots of frying. Might need to clean up or replace the kitchen ventilation system. Our waiter was fantastic! He kept my kids going with chips and salsa which was really tasty. I forgot my cell phone so he rushed out to our cars before we pulled away. He saved me a ton of stress that day! A+ for the server!

Best place for Mexican food! Staff is always friendly. Restaurant is always clean. Highly recommend

Best restaurant in this part of Indiana and the best service! The owners and workers are the best and they serve great food quickly!

Basic American Mexican food but decent service and quick to serve. Pretty laid back atmosphere with the surrounding farming community making frequent stops.
