"Best Mexican food in Forest/Lynchburg; hands down. It's obvious that they make their own sauces.. everything is so fresh and the ingredients are delicious. The staff are super friendly too."

"I deeply regret not coming here sooner after living here two years. They are so nice and the food is sooooo goooooodddd! I got a quesadilla and the tray was super heavy. I could only eat two pieces it was so loaded. The tacos are delicious - carne asada is my favorite. Don’t even get me started on the queso. I love this place ♥️ 5/5"

"I ordered 3 carnitas tacos with rice and beans. The meat was tender and seasoned well. The rice was so good! The portions are generous for the price. Service is a little slow, but it’s made to order so that’s expected. Being next to the highway is a little loud, but still a nice stop and there are shaded tables."

"If you blink you will miss the truck. More importantly you will miss good food. Fresh ingredients with corn tortillas the tacos will hit the spot any day of the week and not just Tuesday. The salsa verde and hot sauce go well with them. The tortas are filling and pretty good. But for me the tacos are what to go for.. The service is friendly and the prices are reasonable. There is outdoor seating and if you are unable to finish the food holds up well for the next day."

"I’ve been wanting a torta since last year when I saw Action Bronson tear into one on “F, That’s Delicious” and the dream has finally become reality For starters - bring your appetite. The servings are stacked, leaving plenty of leftovers. We had two tortas (asada & chorizo huevo) and a pollo quesadilla. The tortas are absolute units. If you finish one you’re likely to be in a coma. The quesadilla is also much larger than others I’ve seen in local Mexican restaurants The prices are a little higher than what you’d expect at la carreta but the quality certainly justifies it. Also very friendly service: the lady offered to bring our food to the car since it was raining"
