La Carreta is a restaurant that offers delicious food, including the Bandera plate with three signature dishes and steak with rice and beans. The Caldo de pata is noted for being flavorful, and the chicken breast with peppers and onion is described as delicious and savory, making diners feel as if someone’s mama cooked for them. The ceviche is highlighted as the star of the show, featuring fresh shrimp in a tangy, citrusy broth, balanced with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. It is light, refreshing, and packed with flavor, just like authentic Ecuadorian ceviche should be. The traditional sides, particularly the plantain chips, add a great crunch.
The staff are known for their friendliness and quick service. The steak is equally impressive—tender, juicy, and marinated just right, served with classic sides like rice. The seating is plentiful, but the restaurant can feel small when larger groups visit. Overall, La Carreta provides a great dining experience with tasty meals, and everything on the menu is considered amazing, making it a must-try for all.
