About MERCADO LA CARRETA
With two wonderful locations spread out across San Juan as well as Ciudadela, it's truly one of the great finds when
travelling around for amazing foods in the country of Puerto Rico. Famous for their Tapas (or small plates), you'll
quickly find that there are an amazing assortment of foods to try that will put a smile on your face. They specialize
in using only fresh and local ingredients from local farmers. This produces the freshest flavors and best experiences.
Opened up just a few short years ago in 2018, Mercado La Carreta does it all with lunch, breakfast, brunch and of
course their tapas. One exciting aspect of this restaurant is that they also have a small wonderful market where you
can buy some locally grown items, fresh coffee, smoothies and more. This place truly is a perfect representation of
the foods and dishes that are traditional to the island. Plenty of goodness to try here but some standouts appear to
be their Fish Tacos, Plantains, Stuffed French Toast, "Broken Egg" Breakfast, Beer Battered Chicken and of course
their fresh coffee with desserts of the day. Be sure to check them out, a true gem and worth the stop when nearby.
