    La Carreta Cuban restaurant
    Rick M.

    Haven't been to this La Carreta location in years and although looks exactly the same with zero investment upgrading, updating or renovating... my dining experience was great. Waitress was helpful and food was served fresh and delicious.. what more can I ask from a classic Miami Cuban restaurant

    Cuban coffee

    When I stumbled by La Carretta I could only think of Gabriel Iglesias aka fluffy talking about this place when in Miami and had to try on his recommendations. Really inexpensive and tasty food. Not sure how Cuban coffee stacks up to others but definitely hit the spot for this gringo. Quick service and hopping for a Saturday morning. Guava and cheese pastry was so flaky and delicious.

    La Carreta in Doral is a great place to come for lunch. We ordered Shrimp Pineapple Tostones for appetizers. I ordered Grilled Mahi Mahi with Garlic Sauce. The food was delicious and plentiful. The waiters were not as attentive and left the dirty dishes from the appetizers when they brought the main course. The place is clean and nicely set up. I will definitely come back.

    I was on my way to work and I was craving some breakfast so I went ahead and stopped here and it was really delicious. The wait time however is long and that is something that you have to keep in mind if you're on your way to work .just be prepared that you're gonna be there for at least 15 to 25 minutes in order to get to order your food. Once you get to the window to order your food then it comes out pretty quickly if you're getting staples like something in their bakery or coffee. now if you want to order food like bacon or like eggs, steak things like that then you're definitely gonna have to wait a lot longer and I recommend that you go inside the restaurant and not use the outside window.

    First day in Miami and it poured rain, so we decided to duck into a mall to start some shopping. When hunger struck, we found this nearby, and came here for lunch. After waiting for almost 10 minutes w/o anyone else in line, the host finally sat us next to the bar area. Knowing by our appearance we are not of Latin or Cuban descent and spoke almost no Spanish, he put us at a table where our server, though very nice, spoke zero English. Needless to say, we really couldn't ask any questions about the menu. Not a well thought out move on his part. I ordered a Cuban sandwich as my first meal in Miami. It's not bad but there's nothing special about it. So places in California can make it just as good. Only difference is they went heavy with the cheese here. We also tried the Imperial rice. Good flavor but again, heavy on the mayonnaise that somewhat ruined an otherwise fragrant plate of rice. That's a dish we couldn't finish because it was heavy. Had we known or were able to communicate, we could've asked for light Mayo or even served on the side. Third order is the steak skewer. The steak was pretty much raw and full of tendons. The menu states it comes with plantains, but through miscommunication, we were brought boiled yucca potatoes, which were very bland. This order was a complete disappointment The cafe con leche however, was very good. This was a nice way to finish up an average first meal in Miami. The inside was fairly spacious and had separate dining areas with nice decor throughout. Outside, there was also a take-out window with outdoor seating for to-go orders. Overall, we left full but not thrilled about our meal here. You're better off planning ahead to find a better restaurant than this chain. See my photos.

    Dry and powdery!  Save your money.

    The manager Sergio was extremely rude and blaming the customers, us, for terrible and small amounts of food. My waitress name was Gema and she scolded me for asking for a hot coffee. My Brother's fish brought three pieces and it looked like a Kids portion. Sergio, the manager told me I was rude and a bad customer. Don't come here, unless you want to feel like a child that made a terrible mistake and is in trouble.

    Service was poor. A lot of our food was cold. The Yuca fries were tepid and dry like they had been sitting under a heat lamp a long time.

The duck salad was delicious and completely different from other duck dishes I've had. It has this spicy, lemony kick that makes it really refreshing and flavorful. Definitely something I'd order again. The beef Pad See Ew was phenomenal--so flavorful and probably one of my favorite dishes I've tried here so far. The Thai-style pork ribs were decent, although they weren't my favorite. But the Tom Yum shrimp? Absolutely delicious. Honestly, probably the best Tom Yum I've had in Miami, and I've tried quite a few! The service has been excellent every time I've gone, and the restaurant itself is super cute. I love all the decorations and the atmosphere. I still haven't tried the sake, but that's next on my list. I've mostly stopped by when I'm working, so next time I'm off and can actually relax, I'll definitely be giving it a try. Three visits in already, and I'll definitely be back for a fourth!

The place is deceptively small, but has outside seating. Since it was rainy, we chose to go inside and wait at the bar for a table. A few minutes later we git a table for four and our Ahsoka, service animal. Service was prompt and tuned in to our needs. Three meals came out at once, and we waited on the fourth to begin. Water was refilled once early on, then I ran out. Entreé Portions are smallish, especially for the pricing. Food is all excellent. My chicken coconut lime soup was a reasonable size, $11 and a side rice. I'm not a big eater, so this was plenty and mighty tasty! So--If you like Thai food, it's worth checking out. Just understand portions can be small and check expectations. Thanks for following me, happy yelping in Fall 2026! ~Tami in Miami
