About La Carreta

La Carreta is a food truck that serves fresh Mexican food in the Bay Area. Customers say the super burrito is phenomenal and the carne asada burrito is packed with perfectly seasoned carne asada. The salsa is perfect level of spicy, and the red salsa has authentic tatemada flavor – smoky, spicy, and full of tradition. The green salsa is fresh, flavorful, and a great complement to the burrito. Agua de jamaica is fresh, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. Quesabirria tacos are the best thing ever tasted. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is outstanding. Prices are reasonable and every dollar is worth it. The truck has a business license and health inspections posted on the window, so it looks legit. There is plenty of parking, a nice park and lagoon nearby, and the area is great for a picnic or a walk after eating. The food is always fresh and tasty, and the portions are generous. La Carreta is a must‑try for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in San Mateo.
