Hands down 10/10, Caretta's is so good, the food is fresh and authentic. Ive been to the Ballein location twice now, and both times the food was amazing. The servers were nice and pleasant. Drinks were on point.

This restaraunt first impressed me with it's very clean and modern decor. The staff were attentive without being bothersome. Our meal was elevated from Mexican food to Mexican cuisine by an elegant presentation and spot on preparation. I had the Vegetsrian Chimichanga. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We had our first visit yesterday. It was fabulous! We were a party of 4 and we were are astounded by the flavors. The chicken in the burrito was the best chicken I’ve eaten in years and the fajita chicken was too. But here’s the thing, they were not the same chicken in the way they were seasoned or cooked. They seem to actually care for the food as well as the customers.
Go try them today. Or. And the prices are very good.

The new Carretas in Manchester is stylish with a wonderful atmosphere. The Fajitas Carretas were very good. My complaint is for being charged 3 extra dollars for extra lettuce. I asked about it when my bill was brought to the table and was told by my waitress (if I understood her correctly) that she would return the 3 dollars. Another server brought my change. If I had been given back the 3 dollars, I would have given it as the rest of my tip. This could have been handled better by the staff/manager.

Mediocre food, poor service and this was all on a Saturday evening with little business in the establishment. Had queso and guacamole to start, both were unremarkable. Following entrees were fair. Small portions and not seasoned well, if at all. I would not return.

Very attractive, well appointed Mexican restaurant in West County.
Excellent server. Very friendly.
Chorizo was pretty good.
Rice was very light and fluffy but not terribly flavorful.
This probably won’t be your favorite Mexican restaurant. Lots of style, but falling short on substance.
Chips and salsa were good.
