El Carreton Mexican Restaurant

"We are frequent customers of El Carreton Restaurant and we have never been disappointed. The staff, the food, the drink, the ambience are all of the highest quality. When we travel we always partake in Mexican cuisine and 9 times out of 10 El Carreton is the superior restaurant. A huge Gracias to the entire staff. We are ever so grateful this restaurant is a part of our community."

"The food was great. It took a little more time than other places I have eaten but most importantly the orders were correct and served hot. The service was friendly but a little distracted by their cell phones. The atmosphere was standard Mexican restaurant decor and noticeably clean."

"Really good food and fast friendly service. It does get crowded on weekends and dinner time weekdays but clears out by 7pm or so. The fajitas are great whether you get chicken, shrimp, or steak. Taco salads have a lot of flavor yet are on the smaller side. The taco salad shell tastes wonderful and not like soap as many others do. Be wary of any dish labeled 'Chipotle' as it could be super hot with gobs of onions. I have noticed servings getting smaller here, a trend I hope reverses itself. The chips & salsa you get when you first sit down are tasty and drink prices are reasonable. Chicken entrees often come with rice only, no vegetables, pico, or beans. If you order those added get ready to pay a large upgrade price. Sneaky. Queso sauce here is excellent but not cheap so again, if you think it's on the house you will be $$ surprised."

"Visit the restaurant a couple of times. Delicious food and nice environment. If you are not sure, they will help you to pick a good choice. Nice place. would visit again"

"I can't remember the last time I would have thought a restaurant of any level would deserve 5/5. I have eaten here with my wife 4 times since I came to Winchester, and every single time it has been perfect. Unbelievably fast, super polite and professional wait staff and bussers, the food is high quality and maximum flavor with generous portions, I've never had to ask for a drink refill, the ambiance is traditional and relaxing, and the price of the food should be 3 times what it is. I have eaten Tex-Mex all over Texas, had tons of authentic Mexican cuisine from food trucks and best kept secret spots in Chicago ... El Carreton annihilated all of that. This is the best Mexican restaurant in America. If you show up, and want a safe bet, get the El Carreton Special fajitas (steak, chicken, chorizo, shrimp), the Steak Vaquero (yes, its cooked medium, trust the plan), the El Jefe Burrito (chicken, onions, chorizo, pineapple, cheese, etc) or the traditional tacos. The beans and rice here are even worth praising. I swear they use chicken broth or something to cook that rice, its next level. Anyway, if you come here, you most certainly will have the same experience. Don't disrespect this place by undertipping. This place needs to stay like this as long as possible."

"Had a dish that I hadn't been able to find for over 10 years and it was great! Fast service and was really pretty on the inside."
