38 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale

“I always go to Rocco's but this time their service was not that good. They brought my main courses before my appetizers , I cancelled one of the appetizers as it didn't make any sense anymore , drinks were late. Food is always good though“

“I just celebrated my birthday with 3 of my friends at Epazote. The food was incredible we left so full! The staff were all friendly, kind and patient! The restaurant is small but it gave such a cozy warm vibe that I loved it! We had the Taquiza (assorted taco platter) as an appetizer and it was so much food! We also had guacamole and the Queso Fundido (OMG gooey delicious cheese!) Even though we barely had room for anything else, we also ordered main dishes that we knew we’d have take home. The Pescado Frito (grilled whole snapper) was phenomenal. The fajitas came out sizzling and steaming. The Quesabirrias were so flavorful and the consume is to die for. You can tell they use fresh homemade ingredients and infuse everything with love and passion. I can’t wait to come back for Taco Tuesday snd Margarita Monday!“

“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.“

“The food, cocktails and staff over the top wonderful! We highly recommend the great menu and the margaritas were delicious! The staff was so efficient, helpful and full of fun! Please give them try...you will not regret your decision!“

“The service was amazing because of Deyanira she did great service she explained the menu and recommended to us her favorite plate it was delicious . Hopefully she gets a great recognition from her manager because she deserves it I will definitely coming back soon .“

“Eric was our waiters and was the absolute best“

“Sehr lecker und macht viel Spaß“

“Everything about this place is amazing! The food is absolutely phenomenal. We tried the elote, ceviche, black soup, and the tres leches. You can tell all of the food is made with love. The staff is very friendly. I did not want to leave. But I will definitely be back“

“Our new favorite place Can't believe we have been sleeping on this place since it's literally down the street from my house. Punkys Tacos is an absolute vibe and the food is fire. 🔥 We are already planning what we are getting next time Our server Julie was great with suggestions of favorites especially since it was our first time. Queso dip and Chips - the addition of chorizo was a nice twist that jazzed this classic up Cheetodilla - I cant even put into words this quesadilla with a hot cheeto twist. My daughter ❤️ loved it Fish tacos - perfectly crunchy Mahi with Pink corn shells .. Pink !!!!! The atmosphere of the place was enjoyable with music 🎶 and table settings that gave it a homey feel. Next Friday is there 1 year anniversary and they are having a big party. Go check them out.“

“Good food and super nice staff“

“Great south florida local restaurant! The guacamole is amazingly fresh.“

“I have been going there for years. Great quesadilla!“

“Ana was our server. She was great from the minute we walked in the door. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The ambience was just perfect. I had birria tacos and they were cooked to perfection. The dipping sauce was delish.
I will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Surprised us with the flavors that came out of this food truck. Food was authentic with a flare. We didn’t speak Spanish and she didn’t really understand us either so we pointed at the menu. It was located in an area we don’t travel much to so most likely won’t return only due to the location. Strange area for it to be parked in. But over all she prepared our food nicely and the cost was reasonable for sure. Too bad they weren’t closer to where we live we would definitely return.“

“Worst Service Ever! Read the Fine Print.. When I was informed that My "Happy Hour" margaritas were suddenly Double Priced because I didn't order any entrees.. Marie the MOD who claimed to be an Owner/ Family member told us "is this your first time here?" stating I had been here several times. Marie then replied "Then you should know The rules" and began to berate the poor waitress right there at the table about not informing us of this rules! I was not only so embarrassed for the poor waitress but embarrassed for Miss Marie who claims to be an owner! I've been in the hospitality industry for years and have never in my life seen such behavior by a well known establishment. I paid my check and tipped the poor waitress well. after leaving I then went back and apologized again to the poor waitress for her manager/owners behavior. if corporate reads this, there's a coaching opportunity for Miss Marie. she should not be in management. to stand at a customers table in the middle of a crowded dining room and argue insisting that the customers are wrong and should know the rules is unacceptable! I don't mind playing by the rules but I need to know what they are first. I have visited La Bamba on several occasions over my years in Fort Lauderdale. that will end immediately!! I will never again visit or recommend La Bamba to anyone. consumer Beware $50.00 for 4 6oz well Margaritas is a crime within itself. you have several locations and have been successful maybe it's time you check yourself and remember where you came from. sincerely disgusted by La Bamba and it's supposed owner!“

“We didn't know whether to go to Outback or another place in the plaza. But we remember that Ramon provides a great service and that is why we recommend this link. Because of people like Ramon and his excellent customer service. That makes a difference and the food tastes better.“

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“We are locals that come to the drunken taco all the time and unfortunately, we had a bad experience today. We waited 20 minutes for a server so we went and got our own drink at the bar. We were then kicked out of the table because we went to the bar to get our own drinks. We had to go sit at the bar and yet I’m looking at 20 empty tables. I’m not a spring breaker and we tip well understanding the real estate of these seats and servers needing to make money. As I am finishing my drink both tables we tried to sit at have been empty. Even worse when we came to the bar to sit, we sat next to two other gentlemen m, not locals, who had just been kicked out of their seats because they hadn’t ordered food yet they had more friends going to join them and possibly would have ordered food, but how the situation was handled, they went somewhere else as well. Not the best business practice especially when you’re slow.“

“fantastic food and service!!!“

“If you’ve never tried their birria tacos you don’t know what you’re missing. THE BEST ! 🔥😊“

“Buena atención hi buena comida“

“Muy buenos y un lugar muy limpio me gusto mucho 👍🏻“

“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!“

“Muy buen servicio, deliciosas tortas y los tacos espectaculares, muy limpio el lugar .“

“First time here. In on a Wednesday at 4 PM. Got seated and our server brought drinks and chips. Salsa for the chips was WAY too watery. My friend ordered Roast Pork with rice & beans. $ 9.99 He said the flavor was good as was the quantity. I ordered Beef Fajitas $ 19.99. Came with a SMALL dish of sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa and a little shredded lettuce and 4 warm tortillas. No problem getting more. The quantity of Fajita fixings was good but they left out the Fajita Seasoning so it did not taste like Fajitas at all. Add the seasoning and the dish would have been a 5. Finished the meal with a flan. $ 3.99 Small for the price. Server Marvin did a good job. Not close to home. May go back.“

“It was a pleasure working with Eten Foods for a tenant appreciation brunch in a downtown Fort Lauderdale office building. Allison organized everything so well, and did not show any hints of stress, even with it being very last minute during a busy season! She was excellent and professional in communicating necessary details to other vendors. I cannot speak on the taste of food, since I was busy providing photo booth service, but it looked amazing. The decor and presentation was very classy as well.“

“I had an incredible evening at Solluna. The evening I went there was a good flow of people coming into the restaurant! I’m not gonna lie it was a bit of a wait for my dinner but that’s because of the large traffic of folks dining and drinking.What really changed the evening for me was the incredible bartender! Renata, you’re awesome!“

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“In Fort Lauderdale, a Savoury Fiesta at Antojitos MexicanosLocated in the thriving city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Antojitos Mexicanos is a hidden gem that offers a gourmet tour into the heart of Mexico. I recently went to this restaurant, and I had a great time, and I want to tell you about it.I was immediately taken to a raucous Mexican festival after entering Antojitos Mexicanos. The restaurant's vibrant furnishings, cheery soundtrack, and welcoming atmosphere made it the ideal setting for an authentic eating experience. With her warm and helpful service, our waitress Maria gave our meal a personal touch.Let's go on to the pièce de résistance, the bocadillos. Antojitos Mexicanos raises the bar for bocadillo craftsmanship significantly.“

“Great ice cream. I would definitely be back again.“

“El mejor aviente familiar“

“Went here Saturday the broward location the food sizes were large. The food was made to order Margaritas was strong“

“Professional, amabilidad, atenta. Excelente servicio. Primera vez que mi esposo y yo vamos. Fue por recomendación. Excelente por cierto. Definitivamente volveremos. La comida de sabor exquisito… Como clienta nueva les dejo saber que un restaurante es sobresaliente en su comida y su éxito por las personas que componen el restaurante. Ósea los que atienden a los clientes. Los que nos cocinan. Sin esas personas el restaurante no saliera adelante…. Para Meri, la muchacha que nos atendio excelente servicio al cliente. Muy atenta y amable con nosotros todo el tiempo.“

“I've had take out here before and the pork chops was soo delicious! Came back with my dad for lunch and we both ate all our food! It healthy, delicious and felt like home cooking! Can't wait to try the other food on their menu! Service was friendly and the place was very clean!“
