A friend who used to live in Miami recommended this and La Carreta definitely did not disappoint! The food was incredible, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place felt like a quintessentially Cuban American experience. Make sure to get the Espresso Cubano!

I can only say spectacular, the best Cuban food I’ve ever had at an amazing price. If you have the chance, try it. The coffee is out of this world

What an amazing oxtail in this place!!!! If you like oxtail you should definitely try it in this location. I originally wanted to eat fish but our server mentioned oxtail so I said why not. I did not regret it. This was probably the best oxtail I have ever had in my life. The restaurant is an old style restaurant and family oriented. You can see lots of families coming to eat and celebrate different occasions. There is a parking lot so no need to look around to find it on the street. Come to this Cuba restaurant and enjoy amazing oxtail and other food!

I never leave reviews but I have to for this place. Absolutely phenomenal food - try the creole fish filet with shrimp - probably one of my favorite fish dishes I’ve ever had. Incredible desserts and delicious cocktails. Easy to park and has take out options. My two year old ate the biggest meal of his life here and the staff were so kind to him. And the pricing was absolutely unbelievable - such fantastic value. Can’t wait to come back!

Delicious authentic Cuban food served at this restaurant in Little Havana. Oxtail was perfectly cooked, and the Cuban sandwich was also tasty. Friendly and fast service, without having to wait in a long line unlike at Versailles across the street. Plenty of parking. All items were reasonably priced and large portions.

The place is neat, the food fresh and crisp with all the flavors of tropical cuban breakfast table. The coffee is nicely strong and delightful.
