18 Best Latin American Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale

“Riquísimo Todos ea exquisito Recomendado: atención comida todo“

“First time at this place; the restaurant was clean, the food was outstanding, and the waiter (Brandon) was very attentive. Then again, there were only two or three other tables seated. Awkward ambiance for the first five+/- minutes because there was no music playing and the TVs were off. Finally, the music came on and the dining experience improved ten-fold. Meanwhile, the TVs were never turned on. Not a big deal, in fact... might even be cool to have a place with no TVs, where people are forced to interact with one another. But I digress, if you choose to have televisions in your establishment, keep them on; there's a lot you can do with them, not just have it on TV programming. Anyways, this place is absolutely fantastic and has the potential to be one of the area's best restaurants. I'll definitely be back!“

“I honestly do not know where to start the food is amazing the owners are just incredible very sweet and very hospitable there is live music every Saturday Antuan Nunez is the singer. We had dinner there Saturday night and we are definitely going back I highly highly highly recommend it it was so much fun and I could say it is the best Spanish food I have ever had!!!The Churrasco steak , the appetizers and even the chips and salsa are honestly the best!!! My son had a delicious cheeseburger with fries and he loved it!!! If I could give them 1000 stars I would we had a great time and I am looking forward to going there again!!!! I highly recommend it!!!“

“Exceptional service with an unique delicious menu!“

“We've been eating here for years. My husband craves the chicken empanadas with the house made hot sauce and a cafe con leche. They see him and get his order ready as they do with many customers. This is a family run place where you become part of the family. For delicious, fresh Latin food this is my go to. They are only open for breakfast and lunch but you can always order a dinner to eat later.“

“What a great menu, servers and service! Great menu with a nice selection . Try it, you’ll like it!“

“It feels like eating at a friend’s house who is a fabulous cook. Not a fancy place; more homey and welcoming. Although the real treat is the quality and taste of the dishes…more important is the quality and personality of the hosts Chef Nikol Zarbalas and her life partner Photographer Alonso Chiessa, truly delightful people. This was an excellent experience for my wife and I and we shall return to try many offerings on this eclectic menu. Do not miss the fried green tomatoes. Bravo!“

“Stopped in this afternoon with my brother for a quick cafe con leche. (:>“

“We were served by Nadine, a very kind and attentive girl. As it was the first time my family and I went, we didn't know what to choose but she gave us a 10 out of 10 service by helping us choose. The place is beautiful and with a good atmosphere. The prices maybe a little high but just for the good service we received from the friendly waitress we would definitely return.“

“Omg!!! Food is amazing and the customer service is so awesome, please if ur in the area stop by“

“Food was great..Waiter on his game.. fast fríendly service.. wished there was one in Gainesville..“

“Review Anthonys Runway 84, November, 2023 Spectacular! I have had some of the finest restaurants all over the world and New York and Las Vegas. So if I say this is spectacular, it’s because it exceeds expectations in just about every facet of the experience, especially for South Florida. I had the pleasure of dining there on my birthday November 25, 2023. This restaurant has been an institution in Fort Lauderdale for decades, known for its delicious Italian food. When you walk in the walls are lined with framed photographs of celebrities, entertainers, public figures, etc. who have dined at Anthony’s Runway 84. I have eaten here many times throughout the years, but not since the beautiful renovation. There is, of course, valet parking. Thereafter, you are transported. When you walk in, you are greeted by a gentleman who greets you like family. The restaurant itself is reminiscent of a beautiful, high-end supper as in New York, London or Monaco. The design is refined and sexy. The staff is also refined and sexy, as well as the many of the polished clientele. And of course, there are normal folks like myself…-) The Food is exceptional, as it has always been. But fair warning – the portions are immense. Did they get bigger? Next time I go, I will twist my dates arm to share an entrée which this date refuse to do…-). The drinks are made fairly strong, not the watered-down version of so many South Florida restaurants, they have a full bar. My Black Russian with Tito’s, milk and easy rocks was made perfectly. The service was spot on. Our server Kasey was perfect. She was attentive without being intrusive. She catered to our every request quickly and cheerfully. She could not have been more perfect. She was a pleasure. The food was served fairly quickly after we ordered and again the portions are very large. Both my date and I had the chicken Parmesan, which was delicious and served at the perfect temperature, with the chicken both crispy and savory. We finished dinner about 8 o’clock. Just about this time, there was a large and lively sophisticated crowd at the bar. I have a feeling this restaurant really gets going after 9 PM. I know they have entertainment, but sadly we were done before the entertainment started. Oh, did not see the bill, I know that the prices are fairly high, although still a fraction of what is charged in many of the high-end restaurants in Miami, which I’ve dined at and don’t hold a candle to this restaurant. Last, but not least, the General Manager, JOE is exceptional. He is personable, stopping to talk with many of the guests here and there, he’s also a hands-on GM when we needed salt and pepper, or any little thing he was more than happy to accommodate. He not only responded personally to my email request, but responded fairly quickly. Impressive! As most of you who see my reviews know - I’m very hesitant to strongly recommend most anything. This restaurant is an exception. It is truly spectacular. Do not visit Fort Lauderdale without visiting this restaurant. It probably books months in advance, especially during season, so book early! I Recommend and you will thank me…Sunny“

“Loved this place! The food is so tasty. The tuna tartare had something at the bottom I'm not sure what it was but it was so unique and amazing. I had a delicious drink with jalapeños. The service was perfect. Definitely a place to bring friends for a fun night out. There's also a small speakeasy in the back that we discovered with a tequila bar that is just gorgeous. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back many times.“

“buena la atecion y muy rica la comida“

“1st time dining in this location, food and service excellent!! We drive from Boca and so glad we did.“

“We stay at the Westin Fort Lauderdale hotel and this is their main restaurant. We went for a quiet dinner today and we have been quite satisfied with the service and the food. They are really trying to be kind to us and you can almost feel a family type of business even though it’s part of a chain... We only took the BLT sandwich since we were not that hungry. The food was really good and their prices are very acceptable for a hotel restaurant.“

“(Translated by Google) Since I started eating at Aja, I love that the food is soooo good and the prices are fabulous; It is a family business where they always serve with quality in all their locations, I am always on the street and it is my first option since they are all over Miami. Keep up the good work and don't change. successes.(Original)Desde que comenzó e comido en Aja, me encanta que la comida es muuuuy buena y los precios son fabulosos; Es un negocio familiar donde siempre atienden con calidad en todas sus ubicaciones, siempre estoy en la calle y es mi primera opción ya que están por todo Miami. Sigan con el buen trabajo y no cambien. Éxitos.“

“We had an incredible experience at La Costa ft Lauderdale beach! We were there in December MULTIPLE times over our week long vacation! The staff was incredible & friendly and the food was out of this world! Still craving their green hot sauce and steak tacos! We would go back to Fort Lauderdale just to go here! Best little hidden gem just off the beach“
