Cravings La Carreta in Southwark

This place is amazing the food is very good, the staff is friendly. I enjoyed the music the food everything.

Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff. The quesadilla was the right mix between crunchy and chewy with gooey cheese.

Great selection of quesadillas, burritos, nachos and arepas, I opted for pork quesadillas washed down with a grapefruit soda (wide selection of Mexican soft drinks), friendly staff, quick service and reasonable prices. Only fault was it said it came with retried beans and ‘the works’ (guacamole etc) but didn’t come with either.

Disfruto de la comida: sabrosos tacos, buenos ingredientes. El servicio es amable de una manera moderada, pero perfectamente eficiente. Pagas un recargo por comer, y no es el más barato, pero sigo volviendo. ¡Conveniente para después del viaje, antes del cine o para ir de compras!

FUY la semana pasada a este sitio y me enca to la comida la verdad que vale la pena seguro regresaré la atención inmejorable

I am so confused as to how this place has so many great reviews. Maybe we got an off day. Went for lunch and the food was inedible. We've made it our mission to eat arepas and tacos everywhere possible in London (so have eaten an extreme number) and these were both awful. Pork was so dry it was literally not edible in the tacos. Beef was better in the arepa, moist at least. But the arepa casing was not fresh at all. Could hear the microwave pinging as things were reheated (not a great sign anyway) but everything was cold when it arrived. So bad it actually ruined my day.

Went here on a Friday after work. Such a great spot for a quick quality meal. The interior is a bit gritty but the food makes it well worth it. Great value as well for quality of food IMO.

Less Tex Mex and more a genuine taste of Latin America. Not a restaurant, but some small tables inside. No alcohol served.

Ich hatte einen Beef Taco (£7,95) mit Menü (+ £2) das Menü beinhaltet extra Reis auf dem Teller. Was meiner Meinung nach notwendig ist um satt zu werden, da man sonst nur 2 kleine Tacos bekommt. Außerdem haben wir einen Burrito bestellt (£9.95). In dem Laden kann man auch dort essen - nur 4 kleine Tische mit je 2 Stühlen. Es ist sonst eher zum Mitnehmen geeignet. Man kann fast nur mit Karte zahlen. Sie sagten sie haben kein Wechselgeld. Es ist nicht geeignet um schick auf ein Date zu gehen, da es eher ein schneller Imbiss ist. Es liegt außerdem in einer Unterführung der Bahnstation, was abends eher gruselig ist. Allein würde ich dort nicht hingehen. Sobald man drin ist bekommt man davon allerdings nichts mit. Wir hatten 2 Getränke (Limonate und Grapefruit) diese haben zusammen £4.95 gekostet. Wir haben dort insgesamt £25 gelassen.

Worth hunting this place out if you're unfortunately in Peckham (every cloud......) Two mains and some tortilla chips (with sauce) will come in under £20 which is good value as they are both heavy and tasty. Pop up the road and grab an estrella from Asda and you got a great lunch. Aim for the alley way under the railway- it's small but mighty. CARD ONLY.

Hands down the best burrito I’ve had in London and great value for money. Would highly recommend if you’re ever in Peckham and either need a great meal to go or stay in. Go for the beef burrito for an incredibly flavoursome lunch or dinner. Will be back soon.

Lovely food, much filling, a regular visitor of this restaurant in Peckham. Although small, the energy and vibes carry beyond the station. Do wish the prices were more reasonable, but understandably with the 'regeneration' ergo gentrification of Peckham, rent must be paid! Food is lovely authentic Mexican and Colombian cuisine, a trip into the kitchen will show you peppers, spices, oils and bread all acquired from South America, putting the A in authentic, Taco Queen doesn't compare. Beatriz is a lovely person, with many stories and experiences that make you feel welcome and at once part of the family. Will be visiting again and again. Card only unless you have the exact change but loads of places to get money out, best to do this before you eat as its a struggle to move thereafter ha! Vegan options are okay, would like to see more of this from such establishments.

This is the only place I've come across in London that does Mexican food as good as in the US (I've never been to Mexico, but Mexican food in the States tends to be waaaaay better that it is here). The staff are friendly, the prices are reasonable, and everything I've tried so far (am working my way through the menu) has been incredibly tasty. There are lots of great places to eat in Peckham, but this may well be my favourite. Also, my girlfriend is coeliac and it's great for her, because the corn tortillas and arepas are totally gluten free.

Stumbled across from a day out in the country, my partner is from South Texas with Mexican grandparents so knows Mexican food - superb food, sizzling venture, wonderful atmosphere- 6 out of 5! Will be back.

A humble venue, but the food is so authentic and delicious. Best burrito in London. Vegetable Nachos a real treat. Owner/staff lovely and welcoming.

I first discovered this place on my way out of the train station and as a major lover of Mexican food, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and eventually got the chance to drag my friend here. We got the vegan sharer nachos (reccomended over the meat options as you get more toppings) and honestly - i’ve tried many nachos and these are by far the best. The portion sizes and the authentic, fresh flavours are absolutely beautiful. I went back a few weeks later as I couldn’t stop raving about this place and tried the enchiladas and the Venezuelan shredded beef pattie and DIED - (of disbelief and overwhelming joy). This place truly is so authentic and original, full of fresh beautiful flavours. Not to mention the wonderful people that work here - they are so kind and attentive and truly proud to create and share such authentic food. The food is made with love and care and it truely reflects in the taste and presentation. I reccomend visiting and ordering a selection of food to try out all the different flavours and textures (what you don’t finish you can just take home). Truely one of a kind !!

Its a little place but fast service and really lovely food. Super fresh, fantastic flavours. Will return!

It is a tiny little place with three tables, best to get take away. Try the empanadas - they are the best.

I just got a takeaway from the new shop by Peckham Rye Station, was not disappointed. Really friendly staff and our tacos were delicious, especially the beef ones. Next time we’ll try the quesadillas. Food was ready in 5 minutes of me calling. Give them...

We have eaten here a number of times & have never had anything that wasn’t delicious (& really generous portions!). Make sure to try to the empanadas & cheesy arepas! Plus super friendly service. Really pleased to hear that they are moving to a more...

Eaten here a couple of times. Absolutely delicious food which I couldn’t fault. Started with some nachos (not to be confused with packet ones warmed with melted cheese and served in pubs and theme restaurants), these were the real deal and came with a salsa...

This place is the definition of 'hidden gem'. Fantastic food. We had burrito, quesadilla, tostada and empanada – all really really nice. Several vegan and vegetarian options. Staff are really really lovely. It's a shame they're slightly out of sight with the next door pub's...

I came here with a couple of friends one evening. We managed to get a table but it soon filled up with people. The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming and it was so nice that she made an effort to chat....

Tucked away behind the white Horse in Peckham and easy to overlook, but makes some of the best Mexican food around. Probably best for take away or a quick bite though as the dining area is really tiny!

It's a really small place so finding a seat may be difficult during peak times but they also offer a takeaway option. Really delicious nachos and burritos, vegan friendly.

Beautiful food, the chicken, pork & beef all delightful. Burritos, quesadillas & taco's a true delight. The nacho's are very much on point too. Excellent service, the owner is very kind and friendly. A nice family run establishment. Small corkage fee for wine, so it...

Perfect carnitas! Little bit of a wait, but worth it. Tucked behind The White Horse pub. Really lovely lady running the place.

Great little Mexican takeaway restaurant (a few small tables for dining) offering authentic, homemade food and run by a sweet older lady. Will definitely be making this my regular

Fantastic and authentic Mexican food which is super affordable, good for take out or to sit in (it's small so there are only a couple of tables) and very friendly owners. I'm going back!!

Decided to come here after a friend posted a pic on instagram and the food looked amazing. When you arrive you may be greeted by Beatriz, the owner. She has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the food she cooks and her passion for...

i've been in this lovely Mexican place for a fast dinner. I have to say i felt like on Holiday in a real Mexican place ;) The food its simply amazing and it's a family business, real food and real love. I advice that place...

The food is absolutely delicious and the staff are wonderful. My other half is Colombian and he loved it ❤️

Visited here as a group of 4 adults and 2 children. We called ahead and the wonderful owner Beatrice advised us to come in before 7pm as it starts to get busy around then. We arrived around 6pm and were able to push two tables...

Headed here for a quick midweek meal. We chose to eat at one of the 3 or 4 small tables, picking Quesadillas, which when they arrived were huge. The chilli sauce is delicious and owner friendly. They also do takeout so was a hubbub of...

Food is incredible, prepared by the couple who owns the place, who are friendly and kind, and take pride in their cooking. 100% recommended by someone who is very happy to find authentic Mexican food in London!

AMAZING burritos!! Delicious and fresh and MASSIVE!! Great authentic Mexican with friendly service. Hidden gem.

I discovered here early 2016 and have been making regular trips solo and with friends. Nobody whose tried their tortillas, burritos, quesadillas, arepas or empanadas has been disappointed and then too become regulars. Superb spicy and picante Mexican and South American food. Great flavours. Fresh...

Plain and simple the best Mexican food in London! Well worth the trip down to Peckham if you crave a burrito or quesadilla!

This cafe, slightly hidden beside the White Horse, is worth a visit. The family who own it described their passion not just for making great food, but also to the country and culture of Mexico. I had veggie burrito, and my son had a beef...

I had delicious tacos for very reasonable price , and lovely staff ! Will be back again as soon as possible for more tacos and to sample the rest of the menu !

This tiny restaurant/takeaway was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint! Slightly hidden away next to the White Horse pub in Peckham, the husband and wife business produced some of the tastiest Mexican grub I've had in London. We ordered a shared nachos...

We managed to grab a bite to eat here last night. The food is outstanding, and it's clear that the shop is run by a really good family who are passionate about what they do. If you want authentic, great quality, soulful mexican food -...

Odd little location next to the White Horse Hipster pub and set back from the main drag. I think this used to be a carribbean takeaway - bit never managed to check it out. The food- is very good- Central & South American - Especially...

Lovely little place next to a pub in Peckham. Al the food is fantastic and the couple who run it are lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick sit down meal or something to takeaway.

Fantastic home cooking, the real deal. If only Peckham had more places like this, low on styling, high on authenticity and love/care. The pork carnitas are to die for and everything is made from scratch and worth a try. What local restaurants should be about.

I had a delicious meal in this cafe. I had quesadillas on gluten-free burritos - oozing, crispy and perfectly piquant - washed down with a bottle of refreshing Jarritos pineapple soda. The food was beautifully prepared and presented, the portion size generous, the prices very...

Fairly new Mexican cafe recently opened. Quite a wide ranging menu with dishes from Mexico, Venesuala and other south american counties. All the food we had was really fresh and tasty. The lady who works there was very sweet, and explained all the dishes they...
