It happened today tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 2pm. Just because I asked if they have a special coffe with sugar like with caramel . she served my cappuccino and skipped my turn serving a coffe to another client who ordered it after I paid my order and when she handed my coffee she said "It has sugar if you want more served yourself! Unacceptable behavior for a worker who has to be nice and smile to the costumers and be thankful for consuming there

So happy we found this spot. Best food option in the area. Huge egg sandwich and potatoe balls are delicious. Everything tastes so fresh. Coffee is great too.

Often, finding a descent meal in an airport is a challenge, if not impossible. Most airport food seems to come from an eye catching package, machine, or reheated from a box that moments before was in the freezer. Can anyone say microwave? If you happen to pass through Miami International’s terminal D, then do yourself a favor and visit La Carreta Restaurant. Yes, this is a sister location to the famous Little Havana eatery. Many of the same menu items are available with plenty of seating area for weary travelers. Other than the food and friendly service, my favorite aspect of La Carreta Restaurant in Miami’s terminal D is the cafeteria style service. Yes, you did here me correctly. The cafeteria line allows travelers very fast access to freshly cooked food choices including Bistec de Pollo with grilled onions, Arroz con Pollo, local caught, grilled, Mahi Mahi (Dorado), Lacón, Oxtail, magnificent soups (Friday’s fish soup is my favorite), daily specials, and on and on. But, the best part of that “cafeteria line” is the speed at which you can get in and out. The friendly lady’s who work the counter are kind, and generous - - this is not the mean “lunch lady” line you remember from school. So, if you’re catching an American Airlines flight out of Miami International, do yourself a favor and make the walk to La Carreta, just across from gate D-37. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The breakfast was delicious, I had eggs and potatoes. They were out of a lot of items, and the organization of it was very confusing. There were separate lines for takeout, cafeteria style, another walk up line, tables, it was a little bit much. The pastries, favorites like Cuban pastellitos in guava/cheese etc. — were delicious. The Takeaway line doesn’t have hot food, but they do have the Cuban coffee and pastries, and that line moves much quicker than the hot food line.

This turned out to be a lifesaver after an endlessly delayed plane. I always am thrilled to have time to stop at La Carreta. This time it was packed, so I went for to-go and had a very well done fruit smoothie and some papa rellenas and croquetas. I think their little snacks are divine. It held me over until I got home.

This Cuban restaurant has it all. They have a snack/ sandwich and coffee boutique, large sitting area and a hot counter buffet with lots of selections including alcoholic drinks. Tried the pastries - chicken empanada, Papa Rellena (coated fried mashed potato ball with ground beef in the center) and Guava&Cheese pastry. They were all very good and affordable price. Also tried the hot Cuban sandwich. It was fresh and tasty but should have more pickles in it to balance it a bit more (had a tiny piece inside). Customer service was great. Didn't try their hot counter but it all looked good. I would definitely recommend this place and go back if I end up at Miami airport.
Kid-friendliness: This place has sitting area that is spacious enough and a variety of foods to choose from.

Excellent drinks. I chose a Margherita and was pleasantly surprised that Herradurra Tequila was used. The Margherita was delicious. My meal consisted of baked red snapper, rice, and mixed vegetables. Red Snapper should not be served baked and cafeteria style. The texture was off, and I will not order it again. The rice and mixed vegetables were perfect. Both the chocolate and cheesecake were very moist and delicious. I will eat here again, next time I am at the Miami Airport.
This place is great. It's by far one of the best Authentic Cuban dishes we've had. I was pretty surprised because it was in an airport. Can't say I'll be back because I don't have too many layovers here, however, if and when I do I'll be eating here.Oh, don't walk by the key lime pie. You want it. It's seriously the best I've ever had.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options, buffet style.
Kid-friendliness: It would be pretty difficult to disappoint a kid here. All 4 of our kids were stuffed by the time we left. They should sleep really great on the next flight.

The food here was excellent. We arrived around 7 pm with three couples. We were seated right away. The dance entertainment was enjoyable, as well as the art around. I really enjoyed the soup.

Food was delicious and prices reasonable for an airport. table service needs attention as there were people waiting for tables available but needing clean up. I still reccomend this place because of the food.
Moe Dexler
Try anything with the Habanero sauce they put out on the table. It is good on everything from plantains to rice.
Carlos Hatfield
Fast home cook, good food, plenty of it for the price. Great variety of items to choose from. Each time I'm at this terminal, I look for this place to enjoy some good meal. Good to the last bite ?
Nice atmosphere, great breakfast selection
