We came here from my auntie‘s 63rd birthday and lo and behold. We were not disappointed. Our server was amazing. The food was just amazing and then 12$ margaritas. They’re very good and a few others which is absolutely amazing. We had an amazing time they brought the cake out they made it so special and we can’t thank you guys enough for making an amazing birthday for my mom. She flew all the way down working the flight from NYC, she was exhausted. We had just moved to Orlando. We retired and this place just made us feel like home. Everybody was super sweet.!! Will definitely be coming back for graduations or a little moments and special events. Just an amazing time. Great food would definitely come back here.

I've been curious about this place for awhile and finally decided it was time! I was greeted and got seated rather promptly! Everyone from the hostess to the manager and server stopped by consistently to make sure I was accommodated. Very friendly and very attentive indeed! Now let's get to the nitty gritty! The beer was nice a cold and maybe I add...huge! The food portions are amazing and the flavor was beyond my expectations! Loved the decor and the music in the background. But again, the food was spectacular!!! I was impressed with how fast our order reached our table! I would easily say less than ten minutes putting in and receiving our plates! Even the nachos were hot and fresh!! The salsa bar is awesome! This place deserves few more visits!! Ill be back!

We visited this restaurant for the first place and we were pleasantly surprised. Our server, Kathy, was amazing and helped us with the various specialties. She also provided us recommendations for lunch and special offers they have for happy hours. Definitely must try the burritos. Huge portion sizes with such reasonable prices! The ambience was amazing with live Mexican music. The place did not disappoint and we will definitely visit again!

Incredible experience! This is my first time going here and they do not play about their flavors! I am Hispanic and I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants around Orlando, but this one has to be one of my top favorites! Heidi was our server and she was amazing! Incredibly kind, attentive, and she gave great recommendations! Everything she recommended I absolutely loved!

I’m from Puerto Rico and today I had the most amazing experience trying Mexican food for the first time—and this place is officially my favorite from now on! I got to taste so many delicious dishes, but the molcajete truly blew me away. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully presented. A big shoutout to Liz, our waitress—she gave us the best service! Friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Thank you for making this experience unforgettable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Even though the place looks small from the outside, once you walk in it's spacious and beautiful. We didn't wait that long to be seated even though it looked busy and crowded. Once seated our server Jason was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu and drinks. Once we ordered, our food arrived very quickly. The salsa bar was a great concept and my family enjoyed the variety. We also ordered the guac from the cart and it was delicious. I will definitely recommend and revisit this restaurant.

Wow! You guys! This place that's tucked away inside a Publix plaza is awesome! I can' tell you how many times I've walked by it on my way to get bagels from Brooklyn water and thought: "Huh... I wonder if the Mexican there is any good?" Turns out one of my friends absolutely loves their food so I had to go with them Sunday. It was 4 of us and the staff was super attentive. I had asked if I could try an agua fresca before committing to ordering it and I'm glad I did cause it was really sweet, if you like sweet, order an agua fresca. My friends ordered the tableside guac and shared it with us and it was so delicious! With those hot tortilla chips; I'm salivating as I think about it! I love a good taco salad and that's ultimately what I went with, asked for shredded chicken, it was spectacular, good portion size, great flavor. My friend ordered the Alambre which apparently is an authentic dish, she loved it, she was glad to try something new. The food arrived so quick it was kind of alarming, you usually wait at least a good 15 minutes but ours came out super quick! I don't think we even waited 10 minutes. Honestly, nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience, can't wait to try more of their items.

This restaurant is a solid choice for food and service. Having an excellent Mexican restaurant nearby is a plus. My only quibble is that the noise level could be mitigated. The food came quickly, which is always a red flag for me, but it was not so much in this case. The menu was overwhelming. Fortunately, our choices were all well prepared and delivered quickly. This place is a find. I'm a sucker for tableside guacamole and an open salsa bar is my jam. The costs were moderate, so having a nice meal on a Sunday that doesn't break the bank is a fair exchange for a busy, noisy restaurant.

I stumbled upon this gem while visiting a friend's neighborhood and couldn't help but notice the charming back porch lighting. My friend mentioned it was a Mexican restaurant undergoing interior renovations, so we decided to check it out--especially since it was Taco Tuesday! To my surprise, the renovations were complete, and the interior was absolutely stunning. The menu was overwhelming in the best way, and discovering a free salsa bar with 10+ salsas to try was an unexpected bonus. The service was quick and friendly, and the medium margarita was huge--but so good! I highly recommend the cucumber margarita. While the prices were a bit on the higher side, the speedy service, date night atmosphere, tableside guacamole, and that incredible salsa bar made it all worth it. I'll definitely be back to try more margaritas and dishes! Dare I say this is an authentic version of Chilis (vibe and food quality in all).

The new design is modern, vibrant, and adds a fresh, elevated feel to the dining experience. Food: I started with the queso fundido con chorizo, and this dish never misses! The rich, melty cheese paired with the perfectly seasoned chorizo made it an instant must-try. If you love a good cheese pull, this one's for you. For my main, I went with my usual chimichanga, but I did notice the portion has gotten smaller. That said, the flavors still delivered--crispy on the outside, packed with savory goodness, and smothered in that creamy queso sauce. Served with rice, pico, and guac, it was a satisfying meal, just not as big as before. And then... dessert! The churros were golden, crispy, and coated in just the right amount of cinnamon sugar. But the real standout? The beautiful edible blue rose garnish--such a creative and Instagram-worthy touch! Drinks: A meal like this requires a margarita! I tried the mango margarita it tasted different from the original tasted like the mango were frozen I will say my drink was very strong which I like but it did taste like I was drinking only alcohol since the fruit was frozen. Service & Atmosphere: The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick with recommendations. And with the new restaurant design, the whole experience felt even more elevated. The modern, welcoming vibe makes it a great spot for a casual night out or a celebration.

Visited on a Friday night and the line was out the door. Yet we were seated within 2 minutes. The flow of people coming in was steady. The restaurant is huge and there is also ample outdoor seating. We ordered tableside guac - it was delicious! It is also a bit cheaper than most tableside guacamole offered at restaurants. Our server, Leo, was quick, helpful and very on top of things, despite how busy the restaurant was. It is a bit loud inside - very lively - but we had no issue talking and enjoying ourselves.

I met a friend for lunch and she highly recommended this place. Our server was kind and attentive. My quesadilla Maria was outstanding! The beef tips were tender and flavorful. My friend loved her meal as well. The restaurant was very nice and felt comfortable. Some of the servers were helping a graduation party set up and they were so nice! It was a great experience!

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.

This restaurant is located in a shopping plaza. There is plenty of parking. It open and spacious with plenty of indoor seating. They also offer outdoor seating. We were seated right away. Our waitress, Stef, was very friendly and attentive. Great music playing the whole time. I loved that. Chips are brought out to the table with a bean and cheese dip (a first for me). They offer a salsa bar for you to pick any of many choices and as much as you want. I ordered a classic margarita. Nice size. I definitely want to come back to try others from their large drink menu. We started with the table guacamole. It's prepared right in front of you. Wow, delicious! I ordered a steak fajita. Steak was well seasoned and tender. They serve a generous size of sides. It was nice to see a very friendly Manager, Pedro, walking around and asking each table if everything was good. Great service. We will be back.

Las Carretas recently remodeled their interior and also grew in size! My favorite feature has to be that there is a mix of booth seating open tables and outdoor seating. This was not my first time visiting and they don't disappoint. A newer offering that I noticed this time around was that there is table side guacamole as an option. I ordered the chimichanga and Agua de Jamaica as my drink. The staff is mainly bilingual in Spanish and English which allows for the flexibility in service. For your bill they'll bring out the portable card reader instead of printing out a receipt. Plenty of free parking available in that plaza as it never maxes out.

We've been to Las Carretas a couple times now and have had a great experience each time. The first time we went it was packed at like 6pm. We were surprised to see this since it was kind of early for the dinner rush. Although it was busy, we were able to be seated right away. We were given chips and refried beans almost immediately after sitting. We didn't find out until we were signing our check that there was a salsa bar so we were a little sad about that but we knew for next time at least. Our server was attentive and friendly, even helping to accommodate my request for a virgin margarita. Speaking of margaritas, just a heads up....the "medium" is HUGE! You could wear the glass as a party hat! We were shocked to see how big it was! I ordered a virgin tamarind margarita and it was so good, there was muddled tamarind in the bottom. Our first experience was great so I decided that I wanted to celebrate my 40th birthday with them. I called and made a reservation with no problem. There were 9 of us in our party and there were other large groups dining at the same time. Again, service was great, our food came out quickly and they even sang to me and gave me a pink sombrero to wear for my birthday festivities. Now knowing about the salsa bar, we tried the various items available and enjoyed trying them all. I ordered a burrito and it was the full length of my forearm, needless to say, I had lots of leftovers. We are so happy we tried out Las Carretas, it will be our new go-to Mexican spot!

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.

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

So everything about this place was great EXCEPT FOR THE BARTENDER. I made a comment to the host stand as we were leaving it was that bad. We went in on Sunday December 15 in the afternoon time and sat at the bar. The bartender was a gentleman with a shaved bun style haircut and was wearing a black shirt. Probably some of the worst attitude we have ever encountered. He acted like it was such an inconvenience that we sat down in his section. I think he tossed a couple napkins our way and menus and then walked away for a while. Came back and mumbled "what do you want" we ordered , and he went away for a while. Had to ask the other bartender for water. The manger had to give us plates for our food. Wow , he was just so extremely rude . We didn't do anything but be pleasant. He should not work there and I hope management reads this Otherwise, the entire rest of the staff was Great. The food was cheap and decent and the atmosphere was nice. Just docked starts for the bartender. Won't go back when he's there that's for sure.

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.

Definitely the most lively and entertaining Mexican restaurants I've ever been to! They had live music when we arrived with a singer going around with a guitar. It was very entertaining while we waited for our meal. The food was excellent! Instead of salsa for the chips, they bring a watery refied bean dip, which was pretty good. They have a great selection of sauces and their little salsa bar in the center of the restaurant. There's something there for everyone! My guess got the chili Relos and I got a beef tip chimichanga. The chili Rena was fantastic. It was extremely cheesy and fried to perfection. My chimichanga was wonderful as well ! The beef was extremely tender and taste like a well cared for brisket. This was our first time here, but it won't be our last!

I met up with a friend here for an early dinner on a Friday evening and got seated right away. We started with a pitcher of the pomegranate Margarita and oh boy was that delicious! It even had the pomegranate seeds in it which I love, plus sugar rim and a little umbrella. Also, we had table side guacamole, their bean dip, and fresh chips. I ordered the 3 carnitas taco meal that comes with rice and beans. The food came out extremely fast, and food was warm. The food was flavorful and plenty for leftovers. While the restaurant had great food and cocktails, there were 2 cons. We sat near the front door inside the restaurant and there were many flies that kept bothering us and we needed to keep waving the flies away while eating. I would try to place fly traps to prevent this issue. Also, while the service was fast, I felt like we were rushed. The server checked back many times within a 15 minute window to have us order while we were enjoying our margarita and guacamole first. We felt pressured to order quickly. Also, once done paying, a woman came around to clean the table while we were still sitting at it finishing our drinks before leaving. It felt like we needed to rush to leave.

I was a stylist next door for almost 15 years we always needed something exciting to attract guest and this restaurant was a great fit! Everyone one knows be by name from the host to the bartender ! Always have delicious margaritas and great tasty food ! If you want to try a little bit of all the margaritas I would suggest the carretas float so you can a small portion of all of them before picking your favorite one ! Great place for celebrating and entertaining!!

The food here is just okay, atmosphere is good, and the drinks are very generous. I had the Pina Fresca (?) I believe it was called, it came in a hollowed out pineapple and the remaining cocktail that did not fit inside of the pineapple was served on the side. It was very good. We had the guacamole, which was admittedly delicious, but how could anyone go wrong with fresh guac?? The salsas from the sauce bar were all okay at best, none of them were worth getting more of, and some were terrible. The shrimp al la diabla were okay, a few of the shrimp were not deveined and the sauce was very oily. We would not get again due to the uncleaned shrimp. The chicken fajita quesadilla was amazing. Overall the experience was pretty good, we will return for some guac and cocktails soon.

Good quality flavor is amazing. Prices are pretty decent. Rations are good for some orders not all. What you pay for a chimichanga doesn't match what you get compared to every other Mexican restaurant I go to this is the smallest one I've seen, especially for the price . Three out of three times I went there. I got the wrong order after waiting a very long time only to get back a cold order because it was rushed. The original wrong order was nice, hot and well-made, but definitely not what I ordered. I will still keep going back because I like the flavor and atmosphere. Overall, they need to make these slight adjustments in order to keep the regulars as a regular customer because when I eat, I spend a lot of money and I don't mind. If I notice changes, I will change my rating.

I've been here so many times and the service is always so fast! This last time we were there we had Chuy as our server. He was quick and super friendly. The food like always, was super tasty. It was a little loud inside on Friday night with the live singer but it was still a great time.

Exceeded my expectations. The food, the service, the ambience; everything was amazing. Was looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant for dinner, and came across this place. The restaurant was clean and very aesthetically pleasing. The service was polite, quick, and efficient. Our server was great and our food came out very quickly, despite it being fairly busy dinner time. The food tasted absolutely delicious. The guacamole was freshly chopped in front of us and tasted amazing, the horchata was the best I've ever tasted, and the corn tortillas are made from scratch. The menu had a lot of options which was great. Honestly has been a while since I've had a restaurant experience good enough to make me write a review on, would definitely go again

The food comes out SO fast here! However, it gets extremely busy since the food is so tasty. If you have a large party you may need to wait for a table. There is also seating at the bar which is convenient. I always order the chicken quesadilla from the a la cart menu and it has so much chicken. Such great value. I also always order the chicken soup which is really flavorful!

First time coming here and wow amazing service, delicious food and drinks. Chuy our server was amazing ! He made us feel welcomed and was very friendly. He gave us a couple recommendations on the drinks which were delicious the mango margarita was my favorite. I loved the fact that they have different types of sauces on the side bar area for you try them with your tortilla chips. Chuy was attentive and great! his service was top notch and I made it clear we would come back for the food and drinks. Best Mexican food I've had so far while living in Orlando. The energy was great from all of the servers they even gave me and my friend birthday shots and sang us happy birthday ! There is lots of seating for everyone here. Spacious and cute decor.

Las Carretas made for a nice dinner date, immediately surprising me and my wife with its colorful ambiance and level of activity happening within the restaurant that made us more to be eating there. We were serviced by Chuy, who was an excellent server and took very good care of us while making sure that food arrived hot and that our dining experience was as pleasant as possible. I was initially nervous upon seeing the size of the menu, but my Mexican City Tacos were 10/10 (triple platter of tacos with each one contains different meats). My wife enjoyed a Flautas dish, and was immediately in love with her food. The variety of cocktails and specialty drinks looked fun, and they have a tableside guacamole cart that was a nice experience to view even a few tables away (and probably super delicious too). Enamorado con todo, muchas gracias para todo la experiencia.

The good: - The service - The free chips, the bean dip that comes with them, and the salsa bar! - The tableside guac - The food (not the best Mexican food around, but good!) - My mojito The not-so-great: - The singer on the patio (we sat outside, which was otherwise a pleasant experience) - The margaritas (I don't like margs, but those who ordered them said they were weak) - The awkward "give us 5 stars" card at the end of the meal - clearly provided to the servers by the restaurant (this is even more annoying at a restaurant that I've enjoyed) Overall, a good experience, and I would return if I was nearby and looking for dinner. Just wish restaurants would rely on the quality of their product instead of fishing for positive reviews!

Alright so let me just say this place was phenomenal in all aspects! We had to make reservations for a party of around 50 people (a huge college tour group of high schoolers), and they managed to make it work perfectly! We got set up in there highest floor and they immediately got our orders in. Since it was so many of us we only got to choose from four menu options, but they all sounded good. The Mexican Street Tacos tasted amazing!! At the end they even josted a little birthday suprise for someone and it was an awesome experience! Lastly, a special thank you to Agistina, Moriz, and Isroel for making it possible! Hope to be able to come here again!

One of the best local Mexican Restaurants I've tried. Their food is authentic, they have a homemade all you care to enjoy salsa bar and very creative and delicious drinks. There is plenty of seating inside and out, the decor fits the vibe and service was great. Everything I tried was absolutely delicious and fresh. I ate a lot of salsa and chips throughout my entire meal because their salsas were so good. For appetizers we got their ceviche and queso fundido. Their ceviche is some of the best I've had and that's coming from someone who makes it herself. I would order their ceviche every time I go. The seafood was fresh and while it was flavorful it was also light and refreshing. The queso fundido is a very heavy appetizer but one we enjoyed so much! The cheese was thick and gooey and the chorizo was savory and tasty. I loved that the queso fundido came with tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole so we could build our own tacos. Their tacos will keep me coming back for more. The Al Pastor was so flavorful it's one I highly recommend. If you're adventurous like me their Tripa tacos are very delicious too. The tripa is so clean and tender you don't even realize what you're actually eating. They have so many more items on the menu I would love to try so I can't wait to go back and try more

We went here yesterday, cause it was too hot to cook. I loved their sauce. The kids enjoyed the endless trip and the table side guacamole. Ordered the fajita mixed grill which was good except we don't eat pork so asked for more shrimp was told only more chicken. The chicken and steak was good but the shrimp had old bay seasoning and I wasn't a fan. The veggies were plenty. Hubby had something that was bigger than his two hands. We also had some beef check and tounge tacos which were great. Go for the xl looking drink that's theirs medium lol. All in all it was a good time and good portions.

Who doesn't love tacos. They were delicious and I would definitely recommend them to everyone. Let's start off with the amazing customer service once I arrived with my group. They were courteous and prepared for us to sit inside just in case it didn't stop raining. Once seated, it took a moment for drinks to be taken. It was over 20 people, to be exact. I ordered a fresca agua de Tamarindo. It was like drinking kool-aid concentrate. My taste buds were in shock that they forfeited immediately. Lol, if you're into sweet drinks, then it may be for you. I ordered two chicken tacos that were delicious and melted in your mouth. The fresh tortillas were so soft and warm. For dessert, I ordered the chocoflan. I was disappointed in it because I love chocoflan. The entire chocoflan was over baked. The cake was dry, and the flan just crumbled as soon as it hit your mouth. If I go back, I will definitely go with a smaller group. Also, try some different dishes.

My daughter came to work with me on a Tuesday and, naturally, she had a craving for tacos. To make the most of Taco Tuesday, we turned to Yelp and, after reading several glowing reviews, decided on Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant. I decided to try the fajitas, while my daughter went for the classic tacos. We found the pricing to be quite reasonable, and the portions were very generous. The food was served fresh and quickly we barely had any wait time which was awesome since it was a 24 minute commute and I had meetings scheduled for the afternoon. Overall, we left happy with our choice. The food was delicious, and the experience definitely matched the high praise we'd read about. If you're ever in the mood for some solid Mexican food, give Las Carretas a try!

Visited for the first time today and will continue to return. We wanted a quick meal but not fast food. This was a great experience. It delicious and authentic Mexican food, extremely fresh and filling. Inside and outside were both nice with a very relaxing atmosphere. Our server Estefa was very nice and attentive. She reviewed the menu options we were considering and even mentioned the salsa bar which was included with our meal. I highly recommend trying it out.

One of my go to Mexican restaurants in the Central Florida area. The food and quality is very consistent. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. This place is definitely worth a visit!

Dinner, as always, was so delicious! We love this friendly, comfortable spot. Our server tonight was Jason, and he was a top notch server and so accommodating. As you probably guessed, we frequent Las Carretas! You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu.

Excellent, authentic Mexican food. Portions are fantastic (I don't know why I expected not to get a medium margarita the size of my head!). I had birra tacos (unsure if they were a special- my friend ordered for me while I took a phone call,but she knows my preferences really well) and my companion had mole. Both were absolutely delicious! The molé was absolutely wonderful. Food was delivered quickly after ordered. The staff is absolutely wonderful as well, very friendly, and they were concerned about where I "ran off to" (again, phone call I had to take, so I stepped outside) and then asked when I got back if everything was OK- because if not they could pack up the food. Their concern touched me, but we were able to enjoy the food at the restaurant rather than leaving. I can't wait to go back!
