About Us | Carrot Express

our story

Our story began over 30 years ago when our founder; Mario Laufer decided to venture into the restaurant business. It was not an easy start and after many failed businesses in different industries, Mario decided to go after what he was really passionate about: cooking simple and healthy dishes but with a lot of taste. After a few hit and misses, Carrot Express was born on the inside of a gas station on Alton Road in South Beach. Suddenly amongst South Beach residents a buzz started to go around... have you tried the food at the gas station on Alton Rd.? It is amazing! Since then we began a never-ending journey to provide our community with delicious and healthy food. We pride ourselves on offering a creative and extensive menu based around natural, high quality ingredients combined with a fun, comfortable and relaxed environment.

our core values

always with a smile

Smile, create an experience and always strive to exceed customers' expectations. - Shep Hyken

always fresh & delicious food

Made to order, always fresh, always delicious, always with high-quality ingredients!

obsessed about cleanliness

I won't eat in a restaurant with filthy bathrooms. This isn't a hard call. They let you see the bathrooms. If the restaurant can't be bothered to replace the puck in the urinal or keep the toilets and floors clean, then just imagine what their refrigeration and work spaces look like. - Anthony Bourdain

None of us are as good alone as we are with an amazing team of people - Lisa Lutoff-Perlo

belonging

Building community. Sharing hope. Walking together. - Stephanie Rae Thompson

integrity

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. - Oprah Winfrey
