Mi Carreta Mexican Grill - South Boston

This is a very popular Mexican restaurant here in South Boston VA. The atmosphere is excellent, and the service is great most of the time, (every one has an off day now and then . We stopped in for lunch while out shopping. Their salsa is one of the best ones I have had in the Virginia area, and it's hard to not fill up on the chips and salsa. Hubby had the Birria taco plate which has 3 tacos, and cilantro rice for $17.99, and I opted for the choose 3 lunch combo plate with a cheese enchilada, tamale, and challupa (tostado which is $14.95, M-F, and $1 more on Sat Sun. They also offer vegetarian combo meals. The food here is always good, and I usually have to get a doggie bag (darn those yummy chips and salsa . The restaurant has a smoking section which is crazy in this new non smoking world, but I personally think it's awesome. They have a nice bar area, and although I have not tried their margaritas, I hear they are awesome. We have been coming here for years, and will continue to dine here in the future. Vegetarian options: Instead of meat, you can choose potatoes, cheese, black beans, and spinach in their enchiladas, tacos, challupa's, and burritos. They also offer a house salad, and a cheese quesadilla. Parking: Since the opening of the new Food Lion, parking has become drastically reduced.
