La Carreta Novato Mexican Food

Don’t know what these other folks are on about, this is the best Mexican in Novato with the possible exception of Sabor by Pini. Service is great, horchata is delicious, beer is cold, and the carnitas is the best I’ve had since San Jose in San Rafael burned down. If you know you know.

Was meeting a friend in Novato and googled Mexican restaurants, this one came up. It's located on Novato Blvd, on way out into the country. We were greeted and told to seat ourselves. Chips and water were served. Chips a bit stale, but carne asada burrito was very good and flavorful. I ordered glass of Chardonnay and it took forever to receive. Also the menu prices are lower than the prices on our check, they need to update menu with "new" prices. Also the menu has numerous pages, lots of choices.

Good Mexican food. I thought the price was reasonable. I had a super burrito with guac , salsa , sour cream and meat etc with chips. it was $14. Seems reasonable to me Staff was nice :)

Great food, great people and the owners are awsome. Eat here all the time.

By far the best Mexican food in Marin. I have been eating Mexican food in Marin for 20 years and have been all over California and this one restaurant has more integrity and attention to quality food than any other place I have been. there are no steam tables of over cooked meat and beans, everything is cooked to order. The salsas are fresh and stellar. Other reviewer‘s in this thread clearly are basing their review off single experiences. I have come back to this restaurant to try new items every other week and it never disappoints. Yes one of the cashiers is a salty older Hispanic women that barely speaks English and can be direct, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. They mean business at La Carreta. Business of good eats.

We had our mother's day celebration here. This is a neighborhood gem that no one knows about because it is located in a square that ran its course. Love the tacos chicharrones. My husband enjoyed his burrito. Our aupair had a milenesa that looked and tasted soooo good. We spent $130 for 6 people which might be a bit on the higher side but the quality of meat is worth the price. They also provided unlimited nachos and the sauces were delicious. Customer service was great. The ladies who served us gave us 100% attention even though we have 3 little children with us. I love this place and this will be my new go-to for Mexican food.

at first was not expecting much. They didn't understand what I wanted (new cashier) Order wasn't sent back to the kitchen, (new cashier) so I was late and irritated. Also, the special chicken salad and a drink set me back $16. (for lunch!). But boy do they deliver. Fresh, tasty and I am definitely a fan!

Place a to go order it took 30 minutes for 6 tacos. But it was good. Now I call to place a order before I get there. Great food, salsas yummy..!

One of the best super burritos in Novato. However the front counter girls that work there are hella rude and think they boujee. Seriously lol like why always such attitude with customers?

Good solid Mexican food. Did the take out and was easy. The chicken burrito was good, street tacos on par. A great staple for take out.
