Dining with David: LaCarreta

LaCarreta - Miami, FL - July 28, 2009
http://www.lacarreta.com/
This was a special meal as it was the last trip with a great team-mate who is retiring, Glenn.
  • Great atmosphere with even a little pick-up/take-out window on the side of the building
  • Glenn ordered the Sautéed Strips of Filet Mignon
    • Filet strips with onions and peppers in Espanola sauce
    • He seemed to enjoy it along with the black bean rice
  • I ordered the Cuban sampler of The Criollo
    • Fried pork chunks, beef in creole sauce, tamale, ham croquette (looked like a fried cheese stick), plantains (yum, yum), yuca and black bean soup
  • We topped off the meal with a little Cuban coffee
    • As Glenn put it, this is coffee on steroids
  • A very good meal and just right for the locale we are in
  • My favorites were the fried pork chunks and the Cuban coffee (I may be up a while tonight)
  • Rating
    • 8.5
    • Dinner companion: 10

 Thanks for the memories Glenn!
