La Carreta Bakery

Way too dark in there. Couldn't see the menu well enough to decide what to order. Prices seemed ok to you got the item and it was half the size expected. The steak said 11oz! If you rolled it up on its own it might have been 8oz. I asked to cook steak till medium. Mine was practically charred. A glass of lemonade is$4 and there are no free refills. Asked for 2 refills and got 1. So we were charged$12 for mostly ice. Customer service is horrible. The girls seemed charming, but we didn't have 1 server. Everyone just walked around till we stopped someone for assistance. It was very hard to hear anything because the live entertainment was trying to be louder than the table of wild people who were celebrating a birthday. You must brush up on your Spanish before walking through the door. They spoke to me in Spanish and were stumped when I answered in English. My husband didn't speak Spanish. Out of respect, I spoke the language he understands. I wanted to try it since I heard they were great. I will not be back. For$50, I expected flavor, a nice atmosphere and at least proper service. To have to wait 8 minutes for the check after asking for it, then to wait another 13 minutes to get my credit card back was too long. While the ladies all attended to the large party that walked in. No thanks.

Absolutely awesome!! It was busy when we arrived so took a little bit for a waiter to come to the table. And then it took a little bit before our order was taken. But it was certainly worth the wait. The fish and shrimp in garlic sauce is absolutely outstanding. In fact, it may have been one of the tastiest seafood dishes that I've ever had here in Pinellas County. Highly recommend!

Very good latin restaurant with average price, excellent service by friendly staff and amazing food. This is a place that should be on the Short list of places to eat if you keep in mind that in my experience the menu prices and bill were a little different with a tacky charge for using credit card but even with that it is worthy place.

Amazing food and environment but the service was absolutely terrible. We had a younger girl as our server and she only talked to us to get our order and that’s it. She didn’t bring the food or drink, didn’t check up on us, didn’t give us utensils, and didn’t even give us the bill. We went to the bakery and ordered a cheese bread and could have easily left without paying but of course we spoke up and told them we just finished eating and didn’t pay our bill yet. We loved the food but I don’t see us returning with this kind of service.
