About La Carreta Taqueria

La Carreta Taqueria is a small, authentic Nicaraguan restaurant with about 20-25 tables, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The food is described as delicious and reminiscent of traditional Nicaraguan home cooking. Popular dishes include the "cerdo asado," a broiled pork meal served with green fried plantains, sweet plantains "maduro," Nicaraguan-style cole slaw, "gallopinto" (a mix of rice and beans), and fried cheese. The portions are generous and the broiled pork is juicy and tender. The restaurant also offers tasty drinks like maracuya juice and cacao drink. Despite its small size and limited parking, the ambiance, enhanced by traditional Nicaraguan music and occasional live singing, makes diners feel as if they are in the city of Granada. The service is excellent, making guests feel at home and eager to return. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Nicaraguan cuisine.
