We actually came upon this cute little place because of the 30 minute wait at 7:10 on Thursday night for a party of 7 at the Foggy Rock. We had 4 hungry children so we went next door. Excellent service, awesome decor, several TVs, nice Chardonnay, food was good. We will come back if in the area.

My wife and I decided on a whim to go out to eat Sunday night and chose Mi Carreta. The fresh guacamole and Margarita were very good. My wife enjoyed her veggie fahita, my veggie special was ok. About 15 minutes into our experience, we realized we were listening to some really loud, obnoxious latin/techno/hip-hop. Not great for the digestion.... More

We had dinner on a Saturday night. The place was busy, but we were warmly greeted and seated quickly. Our server Maria was excellent. I had the chorizo tacos, my spouse selected the shrimp quesadilla. Both were very good. Hers had many large shrimps in it. Margaritas were quite good. We found the food to be well prepared, promptly served,... More

Mi Carreta was great. While driving down 321 and trying to choose our last lunch in Blowing Rock before heading back home from our vacation, we settled here as Mexican sounded enticing. First impression: very good Mexican food. The chips and salsa were awesome; very flavorful - among the top of my list as far as Mexican restaurants' salsa goes.... More

If you like Guacamole, and authentic Mexican food, this is your place in the High Country. Guacamole is prepared table-side, the portions are HUGE, prices very reasonable, service friendly and prompt. We can't wait to return!

Just can't hit the mark? Great idea but just can't get the taste and quality down. Hope they keep trying and find someone who understands real Tex-Mex or Mexican food.

On the way home from a day of caving and rafting, we decided to stop and eat Mexican and had never ate at this particular restaurant before. We were still cold as we had not dried completely and the waitress seated us as close to the kitchen as possibly:) The staff when you enter are super friendly and the look... More

Very good overall experience. We were seated courteously and promptly. Very friendly and helpful waiter. Fresh chips and a very tasty salsa plus a bonus "green goddess" dipping sauce were served to us immediately after we were seated. Food was served promptly, well-prepared, tasty, warm and in appropriate quantity. Our check came and was settled promptly by credit card. I... More

The food was excellent. First off, not only are you supplied with chips and salsa but also with a tangy creamy dip that is very good. The service was good but very slow. I will warn you, once our check was taken it took the lady over 10 minutes, actually closer to 15, to bring our change back. The food... More
