La Carreta - Houma

Showed up to La Carreta on a Monday afternoon around lunch. Was seated fast and friendly with about 50% of the place filled. Monday is all day happy hour and it is one of the best I have found in Houma. 3$ for a 22 oz beer. Pretty solid. Complimentary chips and salsa. To be clear this is Mexican American, this isn’t authentic Mexican. But for what it is, it’s pretty dang good. Ordered a steak burrito with rice and beans. Good portions for the price. Friendly and prompt service. If I am ever in the area I would return. Can recommend for the good happy hour and solid steak burrito.

The food was hit and miss. My husbands chicken was wonderful, but my shrimp was dry and bland. The waitress forgot to bring out the appetizer and I had to remind her when she brought our meal. It seemed like she was too busy or distracted to serve our table though the restaurant was fairly empty. The music was a bit loud as well. Not a great experience, not the worst.
