LA CARRETA RESTAURANT – Mexican
The Miramar Parkway branch of a Cuban institution, and it behaves like one — a big room, a fast turnaround, and coffee going out all day long. The kitchen holds to the canon: ropa vieja, vaca frita, grilled palomilla steak, fried pork masitas, chicken carretero, snapper filet, with tostones, sweet plantains and yuca in mojo alongside. Flan and rice pudding close it out. What diners keep noting is consistency and value; plates arrive properly filled and the standard does not wobble between visits. A west Broward default when nobody wants to decide.
