Second La Caretta in area, one also in Merrillville, IN

With no plan in mind, we happened to be in the neighborhood of La Carreta Restaurant and Bar in Schererville, Indiana and decided to celebrate the Cinco de Mayo holiday with an early dinner. Since it was after lunchtime and before the dinner hour, the restaurant was not that busy for a holiday. While perusing the menu, we ordered a couple of Margaritas to go along with the house provided Salsa and Nachos. The Margaritas were big, delicious, and potent. As for the Salsa and Nachos, they were clearly homemade. Better than we expected! This seems to be a place people go for drinks late at night, but our food and the service that we received was extremely good. We selected the La Carreta Sampler which was made up of a bountiful platter of a fried Beef Burrito, fried Chicken Burrito, and a Chicken Quesadilla. To complete this masterpiece, it also had a hefty number of toasted Nachos, Sour Cream, and loose Meat. Plenty to share with your amigos for $12.99. I followed that masterpiece with a Taco Loco. You pick three of your favorite Tacos. Choose one of each or mix and match, Carne Asada, Carnitas or Chorizo. Served with Lettuce, Tomato, shredded Cheese, Rice, and Beans for $9.99. The inside was nicely decorated with both booths, tables and chairs. So, this is a pretty nice place to go. Especially considering how crappy the strip mall it's in has become. Their location is along side of U.S. Highway 41 North with plenty of free off-street parking.

I have eaten at La Quesadilla Mexican Grill many times, never had a bad meal. I'm never disappointed. Great service great food, and great prices. We went on St. Valentineâs night and the place was busy, but we were seated right away and started with the usual chips and salsa. The salsa was great and so was everything else. Eggs Ranchero and Carnitas platers that also included plentiful sides of Pico de Gallo, Lettuce, Guacamole, Beans, Rice and Tortillas. Not high cuisine or a theme-park Mexican interior, just good food. There is plenty of off-street parking in front of the restaurant.

Small Mexican Restaurant that is located behind the Butcher & Grocery Shop,tucked away in Cedar Lake. I have been told that this place has been here for a long time. We finally went there as we were traveling on our way home. "OMG" ! The food was nearly as good as my "Mom's & Abuelita's" ! I had the Pork Tosatada's, Christine had a Steak Burrito. Our 'Go-To'Place now for Mexican Food ! Renal Patient's, bring your BINDERS !

I went there after hearing from family about how delicious this place is. The steak was horribly over-cooked and dry. Based on my experience, I would be hesitant to go back. The service was fine. The ambiance at their new location on 45th St is very nice, but those carne asada tacos were ATROCIOUS.

Go to mi Ranchito for great Mexican food! We usually get the shrimp which comes with rice, sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tortillas, etc. Usually has about 12-15 shrimp and is a large platter full. The margaritas are wonderful too!

I ordered three different tacos and a tostada, each with a different meat, fish, and shrimp . Each was excellent with it's own special flavor. It was 1/2 price Margarita night so why not?!? The frozen strawberry was a little disappointing but my friend's regular Margarita was fine. Overall, good food and service.
