MI CARRETA RESTAURANT & BAKERY – Mexican
Two businesses under one roof on 54th Avenue North: a Colombian bakery counter at the front selling pandebono, buñuelos, sweet breads and fresh-squeezed juice, and behind it a full dining room. The kitchen cooks the canon — bandeja paisa, sancocho de res, churrasco colombiano, filete al ajillo con camarones, tamal colombiano with arepa — in portions that routinely feed a family with leftovers. Breakfast and the coffee are worth arriving early for. An attached lounge brings live music at weekends. St Petersburg's Colombian anchor, and worth the drive from anywhere in Pinellas.
