    great value, great customer service! best food I had in a long time, on top of that it was only $20 (before tax and tips) would repeat!

    Cafe con leche

    This Carreta is located inside Mercy hospital (horrible hospital) . It looks just like any regular Carreta but perhaps in a mini size way. This cafeteria is stacked with yummy fatty foods , which I totally love . They are open until 10:00 pm So if you get the munchies while in this horrible hospital you will not be disappointed . I usually have the chicken vaca Frita its so tasty. With a palmerita for dessert . I enjoy the food and the place very much it gives a moment to forget your sorrows and enjoy a nice hot plate of food . I love all the ladies that work here ,they are so cute and sweet . The service is awesome they serve the food fast and it's always fresh and warm. Overalls have to give it 5 lets pack in the pounds stars

    Their coffee is fantastic! And if you go for breakfast, they have amazing combo deals, very reasonably priced. Eggs, potatoes, bread, and cafe con leche all for less than $5 (see photo). And if you're looking to practice your Spanish, this is a good place to brush up when putting in your order!

    Loved watching the World Cup Final here, even though I was the lone person cheering for España…read more(¡HOORAY! ). The food was fantastic as always, and the sangria was delicious and tasted genuinely authentic. A special shoutout to our waiter, Eduardo, who was wonderful. He and my dad instantly bonded over being Costa Rican, and it made the experience feel even more welcoming and personal. The only disappointment was dessert. The pavlova sounded much more exciting than it actually was. It was overwhelmingly sweet, and everything on the plate (the vanilla ice cream, vanilla pavlova, and vanilla whipped cream) had nearly the same flavor, color, and texture. It ended up feeling very one-note and lacked the contrast and freshness that makes a great pavlova memorable. Overall, I'll keep coming back again and again. The food is excellent, the service is warm, and it's just as perfect for watching a match as it is for a great meal. Skip the pavlova, but absolutely don't skip this place.

The service was exceptional and all the servers were attentive, constantly providing water which is a plus! We ordered the chorizo and blood sausage morcilla for an appetizer. I was skeptical about the blood sausage but WOW, it was delicious. The house bread, not pictured, was so good. It was served with a blue cheese spread. We all ordered steaks with a perfectly seasoned salad, side of mash potatoes or fries. Love that our steaks were cooked to perfection. Flan was a perfect finish to a great dinner experience

I've tried the nachos before, and this time I ordered the Beef on Weck burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was exactly what I was craving, juicy, tender, and full of flavor.

The ambiance is lively without feeling overwhelming, making it the perfect place to catch a game while enjoying good food and drinks with friends or coworkers. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick to make sure you have everything you need.

The nachos are my absolute favorite... perfectly loaded, flavorful, and honestly addictive. Whether you're going for a casual drink, a bite to eat, or just a good vibe, this place never disappoints. It's one of those rare spots that truly feels like home.

    I really liked this bagel shop. It is a small place, and they don't have a huge menu. But what they…read moredo have seems to have that local Miami resident flare to it. What they make is interesting and delicious. Plus one or two classic bagels mixed in too. I tried the King Guava, and it was super yummy. The guava flavor really came through, and the cream cheese paired really well with it. I will say the egg was kind of hard to detect, but the potato crisps had the best crunch. The bagel itself also had a really good chew to it. I can't attest to how it would stack up to a New York style bagel, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. The price point for this place is a pretty decent. And the bagel itself is a pretty filling breakfast. I will definitely be coming back here to get my bagel fix. Also important to note, I have at times seen a long line here, but when I came in right when they opened on Monday morning, there weren't that many people there and it only took 10 min to order and get our order. But I can see how this would change if it was really busy

Everything comes out quickly, but still tastes like it's made with care rather than rushed. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making it a perfect place to grab a quick lunch or an easy dinner without spending a lot. Overall, it's a reliable go-to when you want good food that won't break the bank.

The menu is small and specially curated based on the season and what local ingredients are available. Due to us having one of the last seatings of the night a lot of the dishes on the menu were not available. The staff were super friendly and very accommodating. We were even able to order from Los Felix' menu in order to try something else. We ordered the oysters, heirloom tomatoes, coconut rice and ice creams from Krüs along with crab arepa and the corn dumplings from Los Felix. All the dishes were beautifully presented, my favorite dishes were the oysters, crab arepa and the parsnip ice cream.

I couldn't believe the restaurant was empty except for us the entire time - they deserve more hype! You enter through the first floor and walk upstairs to the beautifully decorated dining area. What we ordered: *Oyster mushrooms (9.2/10) - although a pinch saltier than I would have liked, the potato miso cream was to dieeee for. Mushrooms were flavorful and cooked perfectly. *Smoked coconut rice (8/10) - my bf liked this a lot more than I did but I still thought it was tasty! The saffron custard was unique and paired well with the grilled colossal crab. Little bits of trout roe were the perfect visual & textural touch. However, we both agreed that something was slightly "off" about the rice; almost reminding us of instant microwaveable rice for some reason, but we couldn't put a finger to exactly why. *Ravioli (10/10) - who knew hazelnuts, caramelized onion, and piave cheese go so well together? No complaints about this dish. It was plated nicely and a delight to eat. Kat walked us through their natural & biodynamic wine selection, as well as every dish as it came out. What stood out about her was how professional, kind, helpful, and conversational she was! Kat also let us try the sparkling Bisson wine, which was perfectly light and refreshing (hints of green apple). The meal ended with two warm herbal-infused towels for us to wipe our hands with. 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill, and we tipped extra because of how lovely the service was. I would love to come back and try their brunch menu (the pear french toast looks divine)!!

The Italiana and Bresaola were tasty but the Spaniard was terrible. While the first two tasted fine, they didn't seem fresh and for sure not worth the price. The Spaniard was much smaller than the others and seemed like it was put in a panini press as it was so flat and hard. Looked nothing like the pictures online. The marmalade jam was so sweet and the quality of the chorizo and prosciutto were lacking. Hard and chewy. I was so disappointed. I recommend getting your sandwiches somewhere else.

Give them a try it's delicious highly recommend it. If you like truffle, get the truffle chips they are delicious as well. The ladies were so nice. They even held the cheesecake until we finished our sandwiches so that it would be fresh. Enjoy.
