Carrot Express Reviews
I really enjoyed dining at this fast casual restaurant walking distance from Dadeland Mall. I ordered the La Bomba wrap, it was delicious and quite generous at a great price. The service was good and the restaurant was clean and has a nice inviting atmosphere.
The food at carrot express tastes fresh and arrives fresh even when I order it through UberEats! I rarely go in-person to eat there because the closest location is in downtown dadeland, and the parking is not very convenient and it is not free (parking garage in the basement). The Salmon Buddha Bowl with Quinoa is my favorite dish, and I always remove one of the ingredients that it normally comes with, corn. The cilantro lime sauce is my favorite and is very fresh, slightly sweet and tangy! The Julie's Juice is very fresh and made with actual fruits. The only thing I always consider before ordering carrot express is if I want to spend so much $$ on food; prices have gone up significantly since I first started eating carrot express. Just an example, each sauce is $1.00 and the cup sizes are very small. Final rating is 4 stars due to the high prices.
Good healthy food on the go. The staff was nice! Cute little spot if you need to eat there
A friend and I met here for lunch. It was all fresh and delicious. I got the La Bomba wrap. It was great, full of flavor and different textures. My fried. Got the poke wrap and also enjoyed it. I thought the prices were expensive, but it is dadeland... that's the only reason for four stars, rather than five. Overall, it was a good experience.
The speed of service and preparation of my meal was quick. I appreciated that. I liked the outside seating option at this location. I got a carrot and orange juice. So refreshing. Really got in my vitamin C! I also got the avocado toast. It was hearty and tasted delicious. I love the herby sauce they served with it. Only thing I wish is that they toasted the bread. I will ask next time.
