I’m changing my previous review thanks to ROSEMARY. L!!!! She is the lady at the takeout counter and she clicked on me and my husband MULTIPLE TIMES. Clearly she did not want to take our order. Sucks I had to change my review because I love this place but that lady is rude and caught an attitude with me on the phone !!!!!!!

Poor management. Come for the days special on a Thursday and at 1:30 pm and the special they no longer have it. Its ridiculous that having to chefs in the kitchen . They don’t keep the supply for the entire day. I waste my time coming for one of my favorites and they no longer have it. Poor management. Is absurd that they have two chefs and cannot do enough for the entire day.👎👎👎👎

La Carreta is a true Miami gem! It's a favorite spot for so many people, not just for the amazing food but for the lively atmosphere. The perfect place to catch up on politics over a delicious cortadito.

I ate shrimp enchiladas and the sauce was not good and overpowered with garlic taste that was not fresh. My son had chicken chunks with the bone and was not good, that's why I have been there in over two years. You need to replace your chef or give him lessons how to season the food better.

Every time I come to Miami, I have got to eat here. My favorite is Caldo Gallego that sadly they did not have the last time I went there.

Years since I last visited. Terrible. Good memories flushed. Food was Horrible. Masitas de what? 6 tiny, curled, dry, tasteless, no mojo, sad pieces of pork w/t 40% fat. 5 onion slivers. Disgusting salty yuca and worse steamed saggy veggies. Arroz Imperial, dry, tiny portion, bland and stale. NEVER AGAIN. $50.00, wife and I. It is getting super HARD to hit it right, and each risky food outing costs more and pays out less. La Carreta, like Publix, just ain't same. So, Bye. Great Riddance.

Quality and Service has not been affected by Inflation. The full Cuban Experience can be still found here...!
This place is going down 100 miles a second. The restaurant needs a deep cleaning that hasn't been done in years. Very surprised the y haven't come out in dirty dinning segment of channel 10. 🙈🤦 The managera have no idea what customer is . Specially the one that is in the evenings. They have no bus boys, so waiters and waitresses have to clean the tables and be the servers at the same time. It's shameful that the Valls Family dont have the money to pay for bus boys and exploit their employees in a such a manner.

La Carreta – Bird Road: Miami’s Cuban Comfort Zone . MIAMI, FL - La Carreta on Bird Road isn’t about flash — it’s about roots. For decades, it’s been a go-to for Cuban comfort food that feels like home, whether you’re rolling in at noon for a Media Noche or 2 a.m. for a cortadito at the ventanita. . Inside, the vibe is warm but unpretentious—wood paneling, Cuban memorabilia, and the constant hum of conversation. Out front, the ventanita is pure Miami: locals in guayaberas leaning on the counter, trading stories over tiny cups of jet-black espresso. . The menu is a greatest-hits playlist of Cuban staples. The Vaca Frita—crispy, garlicky shredded beef—is a crowd favorite, as is the roast pork with congrí and sweet plantains. Sandwich lovers swear by the Media Noche, while the Ajiaco stew gets high marks for its hearty, home-cooked flavor. Fried yucca with cilantro-garlic sauce is a must for late-night snacking. . It’s not flawless — some diners have hit the occasional overcooked tostones or chewy steak sandwich, and service can swing from warm and attentive to a little rushed. But when the kitchen’s on point, the flavors are bold, satisfying, and unapologetically Cuban. . La Carreta isn’t trying to be trendy — it’s a slice of Havana in Miami’s sprawl. Come for the lechón, stay for the people-watching, and never skip that cortadito before you go.

What happened to La Carretta? The sopa de pollo was terrible, doesn't taste like usual, it's actually tasteless. The croquetas were cold, the tostada wasn't really toasted but rather just flattened. The 12oz cafe con leche de $4.00 is really 8 oz. Not good business anymore. Waste of money. Another place that looks good from far, but is far from good.
