I usually go to the window for pastelitos and Cuban coffee,their Cuban coffee is one of my favorite and I drink Cuban coffee all over the city their pastelitos are a hit or miss for fairly good the food inside is not my favorite

La Carreta is a true Miami icon in Little Havana, serving authentic Cuban food since the 1970s with that classic and cozy abuela-style comfort.
Portions are generous, prices super affordable, and the food is reliably good (ropa vieja, picadillo). The maduros are absolutely delicious, perfectly sweet. They steal the show!
Friendly service and great value make it a solid go-to for real Cuban cravings.

The restaurant was nostalgic in nature, had plenty of seating and very little wait time. The service was pleasant, well informed and polite. The atmosphere was good and AC was On!
The seafood dish was flavorful and well presented. It could have been hotter though. The scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams & calamar were hot and the sauce had zezt. i The garlic toast was tasty. Keep improving!
