My son and I were able to go out yesterday for lunch at LA Carreras. My first thought when we walked in was, that it was really clean and the aroma was so inviting. The young lady that helped us was very nice, she gave us time to order and set us up with everything we needed for our upcoming meal. My son had a Super Steak Burrito he said it was very good. I had a chicken tostada, so delicious, the meat was tender and juicy I had them add some avacado and sour cream.. My two steak tacos also very good, the steak was flavorful and not fatty, I added avacado to them...I also enjoyed a Cantaloupe Fresca, I love it it's my favorite. Thankyou LA Carrera for a good lunch with fantastic service, and a clean restaurant..We Appreciste You!

Great Mexican food restaurant. I love their California burritos with Carnitas. They also do great chips and guacamole. I highly recommend this place and I also support them because they are local to where I live. If you're in the area definitely check it out.

We've really come to depend on this nearby Mexican restaurant for our weekly cravings. My husband gets the wonderful shedded beef Nachos Grande, I change it up and try new things. My favorite is the taco salad. I also love the pickled veggies that come with the combo platters. My son loves the enchiladas. They do take out and you can get delivery. The food is ready really fast which is great for hungry tummies.
