La Carreta - Restaurant in Miami - 8650 Bird Rd, USA

We were referred here by the captain of our fishing charter. This place was amazing! Service was exceptional and the food was phenomenal! If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth it to stop in for some authentic Cuban cuisine. Can’t wait to come back next year.

The food was excellent, the waitress was quick to serve and take the order but did not look like she wanted to be there (a little attitude was given to another patron as well). They do need to hire some pro pest control, little Cucarachita Martín paid us a visit.

Went with a large party of 25 at 10 AM an hour before closing the commodities and the service was great

Always a great stop if you are in Miami. Stopped here in passing through for breakfast. Best cafe con leche! Kids had best Chocolate Caliente! Food was great; croquettes, empanada, ham & Swiss omelet, Cuban sandwich, bistec, & pancakes. Service could have been more prompt but acceptable. Classic!

I've been coming here for over 20+ years, from the time it used to been a bikers haven, all during high school and then some ... The food is always great ... However, the service is like playing Russian Roulette ... 90% of the time, service is wonderful - starting from the hostess and then forward ... Today was that 10% ... Our server, MARILIN gave the 'I really don't wanna be here today' vibe and it showed ... She did the bare minimum of her job and that's about it ... No pleasantness, barely smiled, asking for a little more water or a second basket of bread seem like an 'inconvenience' to her ... Having said that, I pride myself in ALWAYS taking care of my servers, never tipping less than 20% (usually more) & I always try to give them cash instead of putting it on my card, pilling the plates and generally, leaving things for them easier to turn over their table and get another customer in there so they can make their 💰 ... Checking out on the card reader, I remembered I had cash and took out the tip ... She rudely told (not asked) me 'you deleted the tip, aren't you going to tip me?' Apparently, the look of disgust I gave her was enough to get the point across and she backed down quickly - she huffed and left ... My initial feeling was to leave her nothing but we all gotta pay rent, thus left her only 18%, undeserved ... I'm slightly petty, so I made sure to write it on the receipt not to make assumptions or act entitled next time because you never know ... 2 stars for the food, 1 star for the hostess and bus people and ZERO for her! The food is worth coming here and hope y'all get the 90% of the good service when you go! 😊

Went for breakfast order the basic, but the house, potato fries are good, the turkey Croquetas are very good. The service is on top of everything. I really enjoyed the breakfast. Go and enjoy.

The ambiance is fabulous, I liked it a lot and it was a family visit and I really felt very comfortable with the ambiance, the lights, the decoration and the ambiance of the furniture. But the plating, decoration and the way of setting the food is not good, I personally did not like the decoration or the presentation of the food I ordered, the taste was not bad but it is not very great but I give a good point for the familiar and cozy of the place.

Definitely cuban food is one of my favorites but for quality and price La Carreta in any of their restaurants in Miami are an excellent choice for you... I will always come back.
