The 20 Best Cuban Restaurants In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"La Carreta is Versailles’ less famous sister restaurant, and we like the food better. While Versailles has a big-city feel, this restaurant is more rural. The ceiling is lined with straw hatching, the servers wear guayaberas, and it’s more casual. The place is huge—and so are the portions. The vaca frita is shredded into long delicious strips, and the maduros are crunchy around the edges. Their mariquitas are crisp, and the mojo is so strong, it pricks the tip of your tongue. Next time someone visiting Miami insists on going to Versailles, take them to the ventanita for a colada and then cross the street to eat at La Carreta." - virginia otazo
