Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant

Over all an OK spot for some TexMex. The corn tortilla chips were nice and crisp. The red salsa had a bit more tang than the green salsa. The homemade corn tortillas were a big plus. I had the combo plate with two cheese enchiladas, a beef crispy taco, rice, and beans. All was good except that the beef taco meat was mixed with potatoes and had no flavor. I just don’t know why Mexican restaurants in San Antonio don’t add some seasoning to the beef taco meat. The potato makes it go farther but it not worth ruining the beef. Also, would be beneficial to serve the taco on a separate plate. My plate had the taco lying in the meat sauce and so one side just got soggy.

My wife got the lengua and scrambled eggs with side of beans and papas. She didn’t like the lengua. No taste and the same for the papas.

Probably not going back. Sorry.

Food is always good there, I've ordered several items from the menu and they never disappoint. My favorite there is the pork chop tacos because they are tasty and filling. Service is always great there. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in San Antonio.

We recently ordered lunch from this establishment for our office, and unfortunately, it turned into an eye-opening experience. This served as a clear reminder to always double-check receipts and not blindly trust the cashier.

Our receipt included several items we did not order, along with unexplained charges for to-go plates and a surprisingly high fee for using a credit/debit card — none of which were posted or disclosed anywhere in the restaurant. When we brought this to the cashier’s attention, she was dismissive at first but eventually refunded the difference in cash.

It’s hard not to suspect that these extra charges, especially for card payments, are being added intentionally, possibly with the intent of pocketing the difference. If so, that’s incredibly dishonest. We had to return the next day to get a corrected receipt and speak with the owner who displayed little concern.

Bottom line: If you choose to eat here, scrutinize your receipt carefully and be cautious when paying by card. What seems like a small overcharge could be something much more concerning.

We were celebrating one of our dear friend’s birthday. We gathered at Las Carreras Mexican Restaurant. Jasmin was our server for a total of 8 adults. She did a great job. The food was delicious & the cost was very reasonable. I had the shrimp & chicken fajita plate w/Spanish rice, beans, salad, pico de gallo & guacamole. Yum yum. Always enjoy the food & fellowship with wonderful friends.

This is my favorite Mexican food in the area. The food is authentic and they have a large menu and a large Mexican bakery.

We ordered food for a large lunch group off-site. They delivered on time and gave us large portions. We got much more than we paid for! Everyone raved about the quality (fajitas) of everything, including rice and beans. Great restaurant!!

I've been here several times and the food is always amazing. The staff is always great

Amazing! Always freshly made, excellent service, friendly and accurate.

There was no service. I went in sat at a table and no one was in sight. Place was dead i came around 6pm. There was literally no one around. I heard people in the kitchen but no waitress came out to greet us. We left after waiting around for about 10 mins. We tried to make noise to see if we can get someone's attention but no one came out. Too bad I wanted to try this place. Had to go elsewhere, where there was actually service and food.

Hands down one of the best chicken mole I've ever had. Will definitely be back!
