Carretica - Paterson

I have ordered from this restaurant several times and have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and tasty.

So super nice a d accommodating and such super good food. Stumbled upon a taste of Costa Rica. Dog friendly and a pleasant surprise.

At first when they were just opening the food was very good, delicious now not anymore. The taste is not good and every day they give less portions for a high value of money. it's not worth it

The food is very good but very expensive. A married man is worth almost $20. They also sell ethical things that are hard to find outside of CR.

Although I’m Latina all Latin food is NOT the same. This restaurant is Costa Rican and the food was delicious! It is cute, clean, homey…like being in your friend’s kitchen. The young lady serving us was sweet and attentive.FOOD…fresh, tasty but not overly seasoned, and savory. I’m a soup girl and this soup made my top 3. Hubby LOVED his dish and we were amazed by their rice pudding dessert <3A special shout-out for empanadas WOOHOO! Hubby is Cuban and I’m Colombian Puerto Rican and these Costa Rican empanadas go to the #1 spot on our list!!!Prices are definitely reasonable :)FYI street parking, cash or credit card has service fee, sit-down or takeout, closed on Tuesdays.
