La Carreta is a must go for their Sunday brunch buffet! I've visited a couple times and it never disappoints. They offer an amazing all you can eat breakfast brunch buffet for a very reasonable price of about $15. You can never go wrong with the service there as they are always attentive and during the buffet, they're clean and organized and efficient. Food items are always stocked and fresh. The variety of brunch items include ham, bacon, rice and beans, Picadillo, eggs both scrambled and fried, wings, fried fish, papa rellenas, waffles/pancakes, cereal and fruits and yogurts and a variety of pastries and pastelitos just to name a few. Come hungry, leave fully satisfied! read more

La Carreta in Miramar Parkway is your classic Cuban spot. They serve all the classic cuban dishes like Vaca frita, ropa vieja, croquetas and cafecito cubano you never want to miss. Was there for lunch on a Monday. Place was not so busy and we were served pretty quick. I ordered the baked chicken with veggies and salad. I was disappointed as the chicken was cold. Not sure if it had been sitting there waiting on the other orders. Chicken tasted good just wish it was warm. I heard the breaded fish was good and nice portion too. Next time I'll try the fish. Been there for the breakfast buffet too and actually liked it and the price is not bad for $15. read more

My family drove down from the Tampa area for a High School Baseball tournament and we met here for Lunch. Even after 2pm this place was very busy! The interior is welcoming as is the staff! Our server was pleasant and helpful. She kept the table replenished with bread for my two starving grandsons. We placed our orders which were delivered in a timely manner and everyone was pleased with their dishes. read more

We met family here for lunch as this was near their hotel and they requested a Cuba meal. They were quite busy even as we came for a late lunch. We were seated and immediately given water and freshly toasted Cuban bread. They had a few lunch specials. I got their quarter chicken with plantains and rice. I substituted moros for white rice. The chicken was very tender. The grandsons both got sandwiches -- one with croquettas and one the (large) Cuban special. My husband had a roast pork sandwich. They shared a. Extra side of crispy French fries. The other adults got a vaca frita (fried beef) and a chicken bread with guava bbq sauce. The caramel flan was perfect. We shared a couple of the desserts. Everyone liked their meals. Service was friendly and very good -- refilling drinks and bread. And yes, we would come back if in the area. read more

In the beginning it was fine. We knew we came late at 8 and they close at 10. They sat us down quickly but later our waitress came back very often to ask if we knew what we wanted and needed to hurry because the kitchen was closing. They weren't kicking us out but rushing us. When our friends got there, she was like you have 10 minutes to add in your order the chef is leaving. Since we only really got dessert, it was good. But the service was not. read more

It's a good location with lots of parking. We went for lunch during the weekend and it was pretty empty. As soon as I walked in I noticed how nice the inside looks. The fans on the ceilings are beautiful. Very clean floors and bathroom. We ordered ropa vieja and masitas de puerco. I do think both dishes were missing some flavor, but the bread they bring out while waiting for your food is delicious. We also ordered mariquitas, which were not bad. The waiter could have been more attentive, but the service was fast and the food came out quick! I would come back again and try a different dish. read more

I met with a few colleagues who decided to eat at this restaurant. It's quite a large restaurant with a bar and plenty of seating inside and outdoor. There were plenty of staff throughout and our waitress was very nice and great at what she does. I ordered the fried chicken chunks which was recommended to me and a popular order on their menu. I ordered it exactly as pictured on the menu. It came without the onions. The chicken was crispy and tender. The plantains were also crispy. The rice was ok. I do wish the Cuban Mojo and Onions were added to my plate as it should've been. read more

Talk about comfort food! La Carreta window, very easy, order your colada and enjoy croquetas, empanadas and pastelitos. The ambiance is not the most elegant but for sitting down to enjoy your coffee and Cuban delicacies, it is good. Great for take out. Service, not bad but at times the line to order can be a little long. The food and coffee is good so a lot of people go there. I definitely recommend it and I frequently go there as I am a croqueta aficionado! Try it! read more

Absolutely terrible experience. I placed an order right before closing, and somehow the restaurant handed my order to a delivery driver without properly verifying that the driver was actually assigned to pick it up. The driver apparently stole the order, and nobody at the restaurant seemed to realize what had happened. Multiple other drivers continued showing up trying to pick up the same order before we finally called the restaurant ourselves to figure out what was going on. Only then were we told that the order had already been picked up and was essentially gone. Since it was the last order of the night, the kitchen had already closed and they refused to remake it. What made the situation even worse was the complete lack of customer service. We spoke to the manager and were placed on hold long enough that we actually had time to get up and go speak to them in person, yet nothing was done to resolve the issue. No attempt to make things right. No offer to remake the order the next day. No discount, credit, or apology beyond essentially being told to take it up with Uber Eats for a refund. The restaurant's failure to verify the pickup directly caused this problem, yet they took zero responsibility and offered zero solutions. Mistakes happen, but customer service is measured by how you handle them. In this case, the response was basically, "Not our problem." Extremely disappointing experience and a complete waste of time and money. If I could leave zero stars, I would. ---------- Una experiencia absolutamente terrible. Hice un pedido justo antes de cerrar, y de alguna manera el restaurante entregó mi pedido a un conductor de reparto sin verificar adecuadamente que el conductor fue realmente asignado para recogerlo. El conductor aparentemente robó el pedido, y nadie en el restaurante parecía darse cuenta de lo que había sucedido. Varios otros conductores siguieron apareciendo tratando de recoger el mismo pedido antes de que finalmente llamáramos al restaurante nosotros mismos para averiguar qué estaba pasando. Solo entonces nos dijeron que el pedido ya había sido recogido y que esencialmente había desaparecido. Como era el último pedido de la noche, la cocina ya había cerrado y se negaron a rehacerla. Lo que empeoró aún más la situación fue la completa falta de servicio al cliente. Hablamos con el gerente y nos pusieron en espera el tiempo suficiente para que realmente tuvimos tiempo de levantarnos e ir a hablar con ellos en persona, pero no se hizo nada para resolver el problema. No hay intento de hacer las cosas bien. No hay oferta para rehacer el pedido al día siguiente. No hay descuento, crédito o disculpa más allá de que esencialmente se le diga que lo tome con Uber Eats para un reembolso. El hecho de que el restaurante no verificara la recogida directamente causó este problema, sin embargo, no asumieron ninguna responsabilidad y no ofrecieron ninguna solución. Los errores ocurren, pero el servicio al cliente se mide por cómo los manejas. En este caso, la respuesta fue básicamente: "No es nuestro problema". Una experiencia extremadamente decepcionante y una completa pérdida de tiempo y dinero. Si pudiera dejar cero estrellas, lo haría. read more

La Carreta is a great choice if you are looking for authentic, affordable and quick Cuban food in the area! They have a huge spacious indoor seating room with a bar as well. They also have an outdoor patio window for ordering Cuban coffee and light bites open throughout the day. La Carreta is such a great lunch spot as it has a huge menu with a ton of daily specials. My favorite dish by far is the Vaca Frita (marinated and fried pieces of beef) and you get two sides!! My go-to sides are usually Moros Rice (white rice mixed with pork and black beans) and sweet Plaintains! However, you can't go wrong with any of their sides especially the green Plaintains, yuca, or even the fries. The portions are huge for the price and the Vaca Frita is cooked to perfection! It's perfectly seasoned with a ton of cooked onions mixed throughout. If you are in Miramar and debating what Cuban spot to try, you must give La Carreta a try as you will not be disappointed read more

TAKE OUT SERVICE this is for the store manager a few different occasions I am feeling like the daytime front cashier is placing my orders wrong on purpose i do not feel like I need to tip anyone for take out due to no one serving me I am paying for the food and it is to go so no person is literally serving me Now if i am getting treated a certain way because of this I feel like it's bad business just because these devices that accept the payment ask for a tip does not mean that we are obligated to tip for take out, this has happened several times and it is wrong. i visit this establishment often so they recognize me Managers should advise to treat all customers the same regardless of how they tip you for NON SERVICE? these workers need to serve tables if they want to be tipped not mis treat customers over it when it's not obligated. I really enjoy this restaurant, but mistreatment is unacceptable. The orders have been wrong even when i asked them to repeat the order back to me. This type of service should not be allowed, and these employees should not try to teach customers a lesson by giving them the wrong order. The obligation to tip for take-out is through the roof these days and it is completely ridiculous!!!! as they sit on their cell phones while behind the counter? customer service needs to be reinforced! read more

Absolutely terrible experience at La Carreta. I went with my twin 8-year-old boys, and from the very beginning, an employee named Maya told me they were NOT allowed to be in the women's restroom with me and had to use the men's bathroom. This is completely unacceptable. There is no way I'm sending my young children alone into a public men's restroom. Any reasonable place understands that kids that age should stay with their parent, especially for safety reasons. The way this was handled showed a complete lack of empathy and common sense. Instead of accommodating a mother with young children, I was made to feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. Very disappointing experience. I will not be returning. Experiencia absolutamente terrible en La Carreta. Fui con mis hijos gemelos de 8 años y desde el principio una empleada llamada Maya me dijo que NO podían estar conmigo en el baño de mujeres y que tenían que usar el baño de hombres. Esto es completamente inaceptable. No voy a enviar a mis hijos pequeños solos a un baño público de hombres. Cualquier lugar razonable entiende que niños de esa edad deben permanecer con su madre por seguridad. La forma en que manejaron la situación demuestra una total falta de empatía y sentido común. En lugar de apoyar a una madre con niños pequeños, me hicieron sentir incómoda y avergonzada. Muy decepcionante. No regresaré. read more

We have continued visiting our Cuban cuisine near by restaurant due to improvements in service. Thank goodness We like the convenience of this restaurant nearby, our home and the comfort food plus the quality. Unfortunately, our experiences sometimes have been short of good service, causing us a bad taste and wanting not to return. We hope management views these comments and makes improvements needed. One of our previous visits was with the server Elizabeth a very pleasant and delightful person detailed always there attended to us. We were happy to have good service once again thank you Elizabeth for being detailed and a good server. Upon another visit we were served by Dayani this server was HORRIFIC on a previous occasion I wrote about. On this last visit Dayani did a big change in service. We were impressed in the improvement and hopes Dayani keeps improving with her service. Cheers!! Enjoy! read more

Fast sitting, great service great food. Awesomeee. Also the ambience is relaxing .....

To start with, the drink options here are amazing. I got the THE CLASSIC Mojito, our mom got a Cuban Coffee. My entree was a Sampler platter, made up of Ground Beef "Picadillo", Roast Pork, Ham Croquette, Tamale, Yuca, White Rice, Black Beans and Sweet Plantains. I liked trying the sample platter. Got to taste a little bite of everything. The tamale was about 1/3 of a whole one. it was moist & flavorful. The piccadilly was amazing. something i can't wait to try again. The serving of roasted pork I got, 1/2 was moist, the other 1/2 was sort of dry? Old tray vs. new tray maybe? The yuca reminded me of a cross between a sweet potato & potato. The black beans had perfect flavor. A slight spicy flavor but not over spicy. The sweet plantains were the perfect serving for an after dinner sweet treat. . My mom said the cubano was a much better lunch option, and she wished she had gotten the platter too. Were in town just visiting, but are likely to return when we come back. And yes, that mojito will be a MUST. read more

Like almost everything in miramar , a city thats a disaster in general! Food is good at la carreta miramar most of the time but the cafeteria outside? From very rude women attending the window to very very rude customers seating ,yelling ,smoking & nobody says anything!!! There s no respect for other people there! Rude rude environment...& la carreta management has been warned multiple times ...in the past there were people gathering there to drink alcohol ! Now, they smoke on your face & if you say something you might have a fight on hand ..poor poor lack of culture applies there...I won't be going there again ,after decades of going... read more

The bad reviews surprised me. I get it, the language barrier can be difficult at times but even with my broken spanish i can get my point across. So yeah the service can get a little complicated if you want a lot of details and don't speak spanish but with enough gestures you can do it. Aside from that I thought the food was delicious and really really affordable especially for what they give. My friends and I liked it so much we went twice. I got the seafood paella and lentil soup the first time and the stewed oxtail the next. All of the dishes were very good. I will definitely be coming back! read more

The food has been spot on the last few times I've eaten at this La Caretta. For me, the flavor is better then Las Vegas in Pines. Today I had Ropa Vieja and it was seasoned perfectly and shredded nice and thin. The sauce was heavenly. The beans were smooth and creamy. With a little salt. They were perfect. I wanted an apetizer of fufu but they were out. Lucky them, I will be back this week. There is nothing like La Caretta's fufu. They sell it with fried pieces of pork too. The portions are huge here so be prepared to take some home for lunch the next day or share a few plates with friends. I like that they kept the meat separate in a plastic container. The service here is excellent. I've dined in on busy days and still they hustle to take care of every table. Today, the staff were super friendly when ordering take-out. Now I'm wondering why I didn't order any flan! read more

I had a late lunch here with family, and we had a great time. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm and were quickly seated. Our server came right away to take our drink orders and ask if we had any questions. She was friendly and kept checking on us. It wasn't too busy so we enjoyed being able to catch up in the relaxing atmosphere. Our server brought our drinks and a basket of delicious Cuban Bread. We ordered some tamales to start which were yummy. I had a Classic Mojito and it was nice and refreshing. My BF had the Media Noche / Midnight Sandwich and said it was really good. I had the Vaca Frita with Moros Rice and Maduros/Sweet Plantains, which I really enjoyed. It could have been a tad less "crisp" but it had good flavor. For dessert we had the Flan which was the perfect end to a wonderful meal. read more

The service at this location was outstanding. We were a rather large table and the service was quick and very attentive. We stopped in for breakfast/ almost lunch time. I had the typical scramble with ham and come with Cuban coffee/milk and toast. I was slightly disappointed in the Cuban toast seemed a little mushy instead of toasty and crisp and the house potatoes were slightly sweet. I was not expecting a sweet tasting potato with my eggs and left it on the side. The lunch meal was very tasty and the croquettes were very yummy. read more

Was quite disappointing today when I ordered a chicken soup and it was watered down so badly no flavor whatsoever and if that wasn't bad enough, I asked four Caldo Gallego and it two was watered down and then the manager has the nerve to say they know that that's the way they make it watered down after that remark would not recommend this Restaurant to anybody and I don't think I'll be coming back, which is a pity because we go there a lot. read more

Order their sopa de platano. Not one piece of jam nor meat of any kind and it lacked flavor. The soup was watered down. I have ordered this same soup in many other Carretas (Kendall, Calle 8 and others) and it has never been that awful! As for the service-- that was very good! read more

Nice family-friendly spot. The cuisine is nice. The food was good and the atmosphere was cool and comfortable like home.

He ido varias veces a este lugar y pienso que deberían contratar a alguien para que limpie el exterior.

I was blown away when I saw this place only had 2 stars. I usually go to the one in Pines, but I decided to go here because it was closer. This one was way better than that one in Pines.

They gave me my favorite sauce the cilantro cream sauce when the other place always tells me they don't have it. read more
