La Carreta, (11740 SW 88th St., Miami, FL 33186) what a lovely restaurant, good food and service and atmosphere, definitely will be returning back. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cared about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we ordered was as Obi (the Manager) had described. And…I would like to express a personal thank you to Obi for making possible the catering for this even. I can’t stop thinking about how amazing you, the staff, and the food was. And my guests can’t stop talking about it as well!! It was a hit!! I’m so thankful for you and for everything that you did. It was spectacular!!! You are truly a kind, gentle, caring human, and it meant the world to me that you you worked with my nephew to accommodate our budget. That put me at incredible ease and went above and beyond what I expected! I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. It's definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. The food was sooooo delicious!!! My family who is full of foodies can not stop talking about it. They raved over the Fried Chicken, Ropa Vieja and Moro. I asked all of them if they were pleased any they said 100%. Your waitresses were amazing as well!! They took care of every guest with a smile! Your other staff was fantastic too. They all made sure our needs were met!! We would book you again and again for any future event of this nature. Once again, thank you so much Obi for accommodating us so well. Our blessings to you and La Carreta.

La Carreta is a popular Cuban restaurant located in the heart of Miami. As someone who loves to explore different cuisines, I decided to give it a try. One thing that stood out to me was that Cuban cuisine is not known for being heavily seasoned. This was evident in the dishes I tried at La Carreta. While the lack of seasoning might not be to everyone's taste, it was a unique experience to try something new and different. The yuca fries were a standout dish for me. They were hot and crispy, with a golden exterior that was perfectly seasoned. The accompanying aioli sauce was a delicious complement to the fries and added an extra layer of flavor. On the other hand, the ribeye steak was a bit of a disappointment. While it was cooked perfectly to my liking, the lack of seasoning made it taste a bit bland. I was hoping for a burst of flavor, but unfortunately, it fell short in that department. However, the quality of the meat was excellent and it was still an enjoyable dish overall. Overall, La Carreta is definitely worth a visit if you're in the mood for Cuban cuisine. The lack of heavy seasoning might take some getting used to, but the yuca fries alone are worth the trip. The ribeye steak might not be the most exciting dish on the menu, but it's still a solid option for meat lovers.

The worst Cuban food ever. I've eaten in La Carreta before in many different locations and this particular restaurant is the worst. They should definitely change the cook who apparently knows nothing of cooking authentic Cuban food or flavor. They served me burn fries that were either reheated or cooked in burned &/reused oil Asked server if he can change them, he said they would be the same and to top it off, the 'Pan con Bistec' had no flavor in the meat, like if they just grilled the steak w/no salt, no seasoning and slapped it on the bread. The 'Mariquitas' we're more like crumbs of mariquitas or whatever was left over. We ask server to change them and he removed the few on top and put new ones on top leaving the crumby ones below. Not to mention the dirty rag they used and left on the table as a coaster. Definitely not a tidy or clean restaurant. Never eating her again. I would give it zero stars if I could. 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

Though the cafeteria line outside was amazingly long it moves quick. They have a good system only if your outside ordering thru cafeteria window. Another day, I went in for a late breakfast (11am) with my daughter during my birthday week & we got seated inside right away. From that moment on it went down hill. The waitress took almost 10min to come by to take our order. She did apologize afterwards & took our order. We immediately got served our coffee, toast & ham croquettes while we waited. I went to ladies restroom & it was a mess. Trash bins full of toilet paper, paper all over the floor and my stall had no toilet paper I had to use paper towels instead. Dirty messy bathroom yuk. I step outside & our breakfast not there yet. We watched everyone else get theirs but us! So we waited & waited & waited till my patience ran out. We never saw our waitress until I saw her passing by quickly & questioned her about our order. She was in shock thinking we had our breakfast already and apologized. She quickly went to kitchen to expedite our order. Within a few minutes we received our breakfast at table. We began cutting into our food when we noticed the eggs were under cooked, my steak was raw inside yet cooked outside. They rushed our food without proper cooking! At this point I'm steaming and waitress comes by to check on us & I kindly reminded her how she brings our order late, food is uncooked & at this point I've lost all interest in eating & how I don't want to pay for an uncooked meals. Again, she apologized and took our breakfast orders off the bill. She says that it gets crazy busy when breakfast ends (11:30am)and lunch starts. I left no tip and I won't consider eating inside EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE! Horrible service if you go...

Front desk staff /hostess extremely rude. Manager is ran by staff and doesn’t take action . If you value your business and the respect your customers, then these people should be doing something else and not be at front of any business. The lady taking orders acts entitled, like you are bothering by picking up your order. Hangs up at dnd of order without any r weird. Picks up phone puts You on hold as no one tells you that you are on hold. Line just goes dead. No music today let you know that you are on hold so she assumes you will just sit and see if they hung up or coming back to line. Once back on line is extremely ride(can’t be bothered with your order) and you pick up , surprise, her attitude in person is worse. You all need help. There’s better places to go. No one needs to be treated wrongly just because you are trying to pick up your food and they don’t want to work. Bigger businesses than this have folded because of service and you are not exempt. This lady even backed abs crossed her arms as if she was ready for a physical fight. What is this? ! Been going every week for years with my children. Won’t go again and roll make sure to forward the word to not go there. Going there may result in a physical confrontation with a person that simply does not want to work and is why customers bother her. . Desafortunadamente es una chusmeria Lo que tien tienen en este Lugar. Que pena, no era asi. Y no es la pandemic es la genre que tienen trabajando y primera cara a client es de este...
