About Us

Our Story

La Carreta was founded in December of 2018 by co-owners; Arturo Cendejas and his daughter Karen Cendejas.

It’s doors opened in March 8th of 2019 as Centro Botanero La Carreta. In November of 2019 they moved to the current location on Main St where they began to sell their famous Quesabirria tacos right before the pandemic. The tacos were made with their family birria recipe just like when they sold tacos in Guadalajara prior to moving to Green Bay.

The restaurant’s concept was of a snack-bar but due to the pandemic during which bars were closed to the public people began to try their food for take-out and once doors were opened back for dine-in they made the switch to focus on their tacos.

Pictured here is the original location on Mason St, Green Bay. While the main focus began around beer accompanied by a small appetizer they still sold birria and other food items from Guadalajara.

Currently Karen has become the main owner while Arturo has expanded to the West side of Green Bay and opened up another restaurant (Birrieria La Cabañita) and hopes to continue to expand with the help of his family and loyal customers.
