Los Mariachis

head to head takout review vs. La Carreta Ordered multiple items all the same as what I purchased at la caretta. I'll start with the fact that Los came out ahead on every single item. In fact, I struggled to finish as I didn't want to stop for the next dish. But here are the details. Chips and salsa 4/5. My only complaint was the lack of salt on the chips. The salsa was great and had a very small spice to it. Chille rellenos (Stuffed chile) 4.5/5- this still won as there was more cheese and sauce as well as either 2 peppers or one significantly larger pepper. though I'd take either any day. The sauce had a better consistency as well. Beef enchilada. 3.5/5. This was a great enchilada overall. The sauce was nice, thick, and flavorful. The amount of cheese was just shy of too much, and many would not conplain about that. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 was the beef was slightly dry. The consistency overall was great, and it wasn't SOGGY. Chicken taco 4/5- right out the box. These were superior. Wrapped up and just full enough to where the fillings are not falling out as you pick it up. The chicken was moist and plentiful. The only thing it was lacking was a bit of seasoning, or this as well could have been a 5. This will be a go-to for lunch from now on. Tamale 4/5- The consistency was great. Not mushy and plenty of filling. Lacking a little in seasoning in the filling, but the sauce made up for that. It's so much cheese. I'd love to have one with a mole sauce instead of red sauce in the future. Chicken Chimichanga 4/5 - this was a close one. You could put these side by side and not tell the difference. I do believe this was slightly larger. And the sauce wasn't quite as salty. But overall this is a must try wherever you visit. Overall, I'm surprised. In the past, I looked at these as very closely matched and found myself at la carreta a lot considering how busy los is normally. But this wasn't even a competition on the takeout side of things. Los is the clear winner. I'll do a few of my favorites entrées Head in the future.

The food was great, the prices were good, and the service was great. We just didn't like that there were TVs everywhere. I understand having a few TVs on for sports events, but several of the TVs were just showing sitcoms... who goes to a restaurant to watch a sitcom?? The atmosphere would be better without as much overstimulation.
