43 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale

“Had a great experience at this taco and tequila bar! The food was fresh and flavorful, and the tableside guacamole was definitely a highlight—it was awesome watching it being made right in front of us with fresh ingredients.

Antonio provided outstanding service throughout our visit. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, gave excellent recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. His friendly attitude and attention to detail really elevated the entire experience.

If you’re looking for great tacos, fresh guacamole, and top-notch service, this spot is definitely worth a visit. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Always a great meal at Epazote! It is a must stop if in the Lauderdale area! Wonderful and friendly staff make the experience even better“

“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.“

“We are sitting here now. we had the best server you could ask for "Ernesto" I had the short ribs, chimicurro potatoes and the plantains. I have to say this was the best meal and service we have had on our vacation. We can't wait to come back and have Ernesto as our server“

“Day 5 Happy Hour at El Camino location in Boca Raton, FL was incredible. The place was buzzing, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We snagged a table pretty quickly despite the crowd. Our server, John, was top-notch. We started with a $6 margarita & a michelada, & the tamarind straw was a game-changer. The food was phenomenal - chips with salsa, pork tamale, chicharrones, & more. We were stuffed, but the flavors were perfection. What a steal!“

“Delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine! Love the empanadas, queso fundido & fajitas!“

“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.“

“This is hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant! If you are looking for delicious food, a great ambiance, and outstanding service, this is the place to go. They have a fantastic happy hour and are constantly bringing in fun entertainment. Most importantly, the restaurant is always clean and incredibly welcoming!“

“Zona fresca rarely disappoints. I can't think of a better Mexican restaurant in south Florida to be honest. Their burritos are always on point and the salsa bar just enhances the experience. This is a roast pork burrito and as you can see it's packed with pork.“

“Good food and super nice staff“

“I've been to multiple La Bamba locations and they're all great.“

“There isn’t a place like this out there… the owner is the kindest, the food is the tastiest, the vibe- the craziest, the experience- unmatched…
Do yourself a favor and come check this place out
..11/10 stars“

“We loved this place ! our server Darquin was attentive, sweet, bubbly & just plain adorable! Our fajitas were steaming hot & great ! The ambiance was upbeat & will keep you laughing! We recommend this place 💯 %. Thank you Senor Frogs & Darquin ! ❤️“

“Great Tacos and always fresh. The roasted tomato salsa is delightful! Family owners who do a great job!“

“I recently stopped by Hello Tacos for lunch and had a good experience. They have a few high chairs with wall mounted bar-style tables, so we decided to eat there.

After ordering, our food was ready pretty quickly. I got the Veggie Burrito with rice, black beans and sauteed onions and peppers. It was packed with flavor and really tasty. If you're looking for a vegan burrito, just make sure to ask for no cheese and no sour cream.

If you're not fluent in Spanish, just be patient and explain what you'd like as clearly as you can. They do their best to understand and make sure your order comes out right.

I'll be back for lunch soon again!“

“Buena atención hi buena comida“

“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.“

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

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

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“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.“

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

“Coming from CA, best MX food I’ve found in SoFlo!!! So flavorful, fresh, and so happy I found them. If you notice all the reviews are 5 stars except for a couple users who only have 2 reviews, this place and 5 stars for taco express… a little suspicious if you ask me. The food here is the best Mexican you can find in Florida, theres no competition.“

“The OMG Cooki is a decadent and delicious dessert that is the perfect way to end any meal. The giant, warm, and gooey cookie is packed with chocolate chips, Oreo chunks, and drizzled with caramel sauce. It's a sweet and indulgent treat that is perfect for any dessert lover. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“Excellent family run business that gives back to their community! They serve real whole foods and it is delicious!“

“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.“

“El mejor aviente familiar“

“Excellent food!! Great menu with different options for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Very family oriented. The popusas and the caldo de res are my favorites. I have been a customer for awhile and so far no complaints. The servers are always checking to make sure you dont need anything. I recommended it 100%, ths best Salvadorian restaurant in OKland Park. The owner approached my table recently asking me if I was enjoying my lunch. I took this opportunity to express to him my comments about how i enjoy the food.“

“Our favorite place to eat picanha burgers! We’ve tried many “picanha” places, but nothing compares to the flavor at La Picanha Grill Fort Lauderdale. The staff is also very friendly. The cachapas are delicious too! We always come back. 100% recommended! Thank you Freddy for always being very attentive and kind!“

“Maria helped me Ordered a five layer burrito after a year of not having Taco bell and was accommodated immediately with added sauce and missed the beef but they remade it fresh plus she added a dessert which was cinnamon twist very excited thank you so much Taco Bell!“

“Las Carnitas on Davie Blvd between 95 and 441 is the most underrated Taco Tuesday or just Latin restaurant in general! 🌮 Super clean and the food is 10/10! 🤤“
