La Carreta Menu Prices

La Carreta is the home authentic Cuban cuisine. If you’re in Miami and want to try Cuban food, this is the place to be.

As a Cuban family owned restaurant, La Carreta continues to be a staple of the “abuela style” food. Abuela means grandmother, which means that the food here is just like a grandmother’s home cooking.

About La Carreta

The first La Caretta was founded in 1976 right in Little Havana’s famous Calle Ocho strip in Miami. After Cuba’s political take-over in 1959, a large number of Cubans in exile moved to Miami and formed a community that reminded them of their homeland. La Caretta is a product of that community.

There are now more than 9 locations in Miami, strengthening the Cuban community and bringing in many tourists eager to try authentic Cuban food.

La Carreta Review

La Caretta is a large restaurant with plenty of seating but in case you don’t have time to sit down for a full meal, you can still have a cup of their famously authentic Cuban espresso and pair it with a snack such as an empanada by visiting their window just inside of the restaurant.

Right from the free bread served at the table, everything here is delicious. The menu is large with plenty of choices to cater to different kinds of diets. No matter what you eat or don’t eat, you’ll surely find something here.

Some menu favorites are the Natural Yuca Fries, the Famous Cuban sandwich, and the very popular Ropa Vieja. This dish consists of shredded beef cooked with onions and Cuban mojo, served with Moros rice and sweet plantains. Simply delicious and definitely a must try.

Despite its popularity, the restaurant is large enough that there is usually plenty of seating. The service is fast and attentive and there is always the window option if you’re in a rush or just crave a snack. There are definitely plenty of reasons to visit La Caretta when you’re in Miami.
