La Carreta is a cozy spot that combines authenticity with a homely atmosphere! 🌮 I had the huevos con machaca, and they were absolutely delicious. The homemade flour tortillas were a standout - soft and fluffy!

I must commend Rubi for her outstanding service; she made the experience even better.

The casual vibe is perfect for families, and it has great options for everyone. If you’re in Houston, don’t miss this gem for breakfast or brunch! Also, the free parking is a major plus! 😊
