Today I took the family to try La Carreta on Government Street. We used to love going to the Hammond location when we lived in that area. The place was pack with Mardi Gras parade goers and was a little packed. This trip had its ups, but there were a lot more downs. I ordered the beef nachos with rice. It was served with a plate of tortilla chips, and covered with queso, beef, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, rice and sour cream. The nachos were great although they did go a little skimpy on the queso.
