Description:
This cavernous family-style restaurant is filled with relics of an old farm and college kids eating medianoches (midnight sandwiches with ham, cheese, and pickles) after partying all night. Waitresses are brusque but efficient and will help Anglos along who may not know the lingo. The menu is vast and very authentic, but is known for its sandwiches and smaller items. Try the sopa de pollo, a rich golden stock loaded with chunks of chicken and fresh vegetables, or the ropa vieja, a shredded beef stew in thick brown sauce. Because of its immense popularity and low prices, La Carreta has opened seven branches throughout Miami, including a counter in the Miami airport. Check the White Pages for other locations.
