Skip the pre-made stuff sitting on the steam table and head down to the made-to-order station. Churrasco beef , arroz Moro, fried plantains ... All very good. They even have maté soda !

Adam B

Some of the best airport food ever. Great Cuban staples, the chicken , Arroz Moro and plantains hit the spot. If you've got time in MIA and are hungry, come here. They also serve beer & wine .

Rob Zaleski

The staff here are really helpful! I was struggling with my bags and tray, and a member of the staff saw me and offered to carry my tray. Then someone brought me toothpicks. Great people!

Vini Miranda

Individual à la carte orders from menu are very big, you can definitely split one by two people and feel very satisfied. The food here isn't spectacular, but is better than you get on the airplane.

Brian B

Spectacular beef empanadas ! Honestly the best thing I've ever eaten in an airport and easy to eat on the run. Grab a Presidente to wash it down.

Corey Rosemond

This was a MEAL for $11.51! Best and most affordable airport meal I've ever had with the exception of the Pappadeaux's buffet at IAH

BrooklynBoyO

Home-style Latin American comfort food out of an airport terminal . It doesn’t get any better than this, traveling ladies & gentlemen.

Bruce D

This is, without a doubt, the best restaurant at any airport in the country . When I have a choice, I will fly through MIA just to be able to eat here. Excellent food, prices, and service!

Andrew Cassidy

A true taste of Miami to get you ready for your next flight. Whether you want a cafecito and dessert , or a medianoche and Iron Beer , La Carrey’s has you covered.

Monica V

Mostly Cubans working here -you’re getting the most authentic experience possible. But some items are SO overpriced. Tres les is $4 and so are black beans . C’mon. The bus people are great, tip them.

Duke Dispo

I suggest u eat in this place before boarding and bring some to-go for long flights. Food is awesome. Yellow rice plus chicken and plantains . Finnito!!!

Keith M. Lyndaker

I was wanting a burger , but my wife got the better deal. Huge platter of arroz , frijoles , Pollo , and plantanos for $10. (Fortunately for me, she couldn't finish it so I got the rest!!!)

Vivian Nunez

I think I have written this review many times, but every time I come here I love it. The food is superb. Tops vieja w rice and a small bowl of black bean soup . Excellent! Service is great.

Mara M

Cut the whole buffet line and go straight to the end to order some delicious palomilla with white rice and frijoles . The vaca frita is good also. But whatever you choose, have the black beans .

Men's Health Mag

The menu here is packed with croquetas , biztec empanizados, and a flan that has been called one of the best in the 305. Read more

Jessica Osorio

OMG!!! One of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had! Ask for eggs , ham and cheese on a crossaint! And a cafe con leche of course! #nomnom

Eduardo Ferrari

The best restaurant on the MIA airport hands down! Cuban sandwiches are outstanding. Remember to speak in Spanish with everyone :).

Vallyri

Roaches and mold! Good until I saw the bug crawling too close to the food. And be careful of the fridge section. They leave that stuff there for days, found some cheesecake with mold on it! Ick!

Francisco Artavia

I love the Cuban sandwich . Service is amazing, a true Cuban experience. I never miss the opportunity to come here when in MIA.

Erin Fagan

All the airport employees and pilots stop here so you know it’s decent. Best airport food prices EVER.

Rolando Matarrita Sequeira

Tables are not waited, you have to get on line . Palomilla steak in the "a la carte" menu is worth the wait

Sibel Ozturk

Roast chicken is served with two side dishes. Plate is big, taste is delicious and price is good! I recommend if u r in the airport .

Jason Woodard

Rock solid food. Fills you well and gets you on your way. Watch the crowd for all the airport workers eating there—yep, right spot.

David W

Stop at the Empanada stand for a good cheap quick bite on the go. They are really good.

Jonathan Isaac

The Vaca fritas / fried yucca is amazing with their perfectly seasoned aioli sauce or with ketchup (for hard heads). One side you MUST try!

Ben Stinnett

Easily the best breakfast and best prices in the airport . Go for the steak and egg combo and you won't be disappointed.

Moe Dexler

Try anything with the Habanero sauce they put out on the table. It is good on everything from plantains to rice .

Saveur Magazine

If you're flying south from the eastern United States , chances are you'll transfer at Miami International Airport , and you'll be hungry when you do. Thank goodness, then, for La Carreta. Read more

Cora Wu

Churrasco (skirt steak ) cooked medium rare with sweet plaintains and Moros rice ! Yum :) airport recommendation by my Miami-based coworker.

Semyon GRU

oh wow. Tastes just like if someone cooked it at home. Lots of coices. Priced just right too. I wish we had one in my neighborhood

iron daher

great for rushed travelers. Self-service, real food. Fish was great. Staff is attentive and friendly

Kat Mandelstein

I get my plantain fix here when traveling out of MIA. They have 3 different kinds!

Mike Mongo

Seriously nourishing food. Plenty of vegetarian options . Fish soup is hearty and healing. Good for what ails you. Plus GOOD cuban coffee !

Amanda Urquiza

Best prices I've seen at an airport . The french toast and egg and cheese sandwich were delicious.

Stephanie Lloyd

Been eating at this place for years- it's a Xmas tradition! Great food and a great place to people watch .

Emilio C

This is the best restaurant by far in the D terminal. Cuban food to perfection.

Adolfo Blanco

Can get really expensive , mind what you're getting to avoid being overcharged. I paid $20.49 for a simple continental breakfast with coffee . The service was great, tough.

Kelsey✨

Double-check your order before leaving. They mixed up my food w/someone else’s and I left w/the wrong to-go bag

Andrew T.

Grab the pork and yellow rice , with a side of plantains before your flight. It's good quality and quantity for $8.

Lisa Sosa

Pretty good for airport food and better than the same old airport fast food .

Emilio C

This is the place to go to at the Miami airport when you're there for a layover.

Melissa Michaud Nishan

Wow.. great food. Empanadas a must, and Cuban coffee !!!

Suchi

Try the guava pastry . Flaky, sweet, and a little tangy . Don't forget to grab some napkins if you're on-the-go!

Michelle Cheung

Probably your best bet for food in MIA Airport . Quick service , edible food, good prices

Mary

Get to the airport early and have a delicious Cuban sandwich before your flight!

Ana Lopez

Cafe con leche is a must and is prepared with the perfect amount of sugar. Also spinach & cheese empanadas was surprisingly light.

No Footprint Nomads .com

huge sizes, u could have one for two if not starving!!!

Mike Mongo

Fish soup Friday! Healthy hearty and delicious! You WILL be fulfilled.

Chad Tovar
