50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lauderdale By The Sea

“The food was awesome. My family and I tried and enjoyed the guacamole flight, which we amusingly termed the guac fight, lol. Everyone loved the tacos ( crispy shrimp, Korean BBQ, steak, fish) and the drinks. The only gap in service was a temporary dry spot in beverages, no big deal.“

“Great experience! The food was delicious and the margaritas were excellent. We ordered tacos and everything came out fresh and flavorful. Our waiter Angel provided outstanding service—friendly, attentive, and made the night even better. Definitely recommend!“

“I had an excellent experience at Rocco’s Tacos, and a big part of that was thanks to the manager, Lisa. She was attentive, professional, and clearly takes great pride in both her team and the guest experience. Lisa was visible on the floor, checking in with guests and ensuring everything ran smoothly, which truly elevated our visit.“

“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!“

“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“

“Excellent service. Very clean. I am visiting from Texas, been 2x in 5 days. The Guacamole made to order is delicious! Cold, frosted glass of corona was the icing on the GUACAMOLE! 🥰😎 will definitely be back. 5-27-2025“

“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“

“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.“

“From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and filled with the kind of aromas that instantly make you hungry. I started with the Elote corn, and let me just say, absolutely fantastic. Perfectly grilled, coated with just the right balance of seasoning and creaminess, it was bursting with flavor in every bite. Truly one of the best I’ve had! We also enjoyed a taco platter that came with chicken tacos, beans, rice, and corn. Each element was thoughtfully prepared and equally amazing. The chicken was tender and flavorful, the beans and rice were comforting and perfectly seasoned, and the corn tied everything together beautifully. On top of the great food, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. They made us feel right at home and added to the authentic, family-style vibe of the restaurant. Overall, the meal was not just food, it was an experience. Authentic, flavorful, and made with care. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a true taste of Mexico right here at home. 🌮🌽✨“

“Honestly BEST TACOS HANDS DOWN!! The Birria tacos didn’t last 10 minutes in my house!!!! It was honestly TOO GOOD. If you haven’t already… GET YOU SOME. The chicken tacos are great too. This place is clean with friendly and professional staff. Keith Lee needs to try this place out. The food was AMAZING. And I will be coming back. Thank you“

“Tacos were awesome. I tried Steak, Chicken and Al Pastor. All of them were great. Just to know what to expect: I waited almost 30 mins for the tacos, the place is pretty small and if too many people get in there it’s super crowded. Prices are decent.

Will definitely order ahead in the future.“

“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!“

“The food at El Guanaco is the best hands down. I refer people all the time for food . We have been going a few years but not much the last few months due to the service. Sometimes you can put up with mediocre service because the food is so good . But today was the second time service was subpar… Today we waited 20 minutes and still no order taken ….There was another table with no beverages that was sat before us . We decided to leave and offered to pay for the beverages and chips but they would not let us pay . The cashier said she could take our order but we already had waited and decided it was best to just go ahead and leave …On the way out there were 3 vacant tables inside ….If we eat El Guanico in the future we will order to go because the service is just not there anymore. The food is the best but not going back anytime soon to dine in …Food 5 ⭐️ service 3⭐️…..“

“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.“

“Usually pretty good. I placed a pickup order online for a Carne Asada Burroto, picked it up, got home and opened it and it was some tacos. I think I got someone else's order. Called to see if I could bring it back and get the burrito I ordered and it immediately goes to voice mail repeatedly. Oh well...guess I'm having tacos? Tell me you're tired of doing this without telling me you're tired of doing this.“

“We had the best date night at Puya urban Cantina, it’s a kosher taco place, perfect for date night and definitely get the spicy margarita. Ask for Yuval who is their manager and takes extra care of
Guests. They accommodated my drink request and ultimately we had the best kosher date night in Hollywood. 10/10 recommend.“

Glad we came back the food was very good the portions were large and it had to be some of the most authentic Mexican food I've had in the area.“

“Excellent tacos tiny place very friendly staff“

“Hidden Gem for Tacos, Karaoke, and Good Vibes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I kept seeing ads for $20 all you can eat tacos 🌮 at this spot on Oakland Park Boulevard, plus Friday night karaoke 🎤, so I finally decided to check it out. None of my friends could make it, so I came solo and honestly I’m really glad I did 😊. I didn’t even read the reviews beforehand, which I should have because they would’ve made my decision even easier. This place is super cute ✨ and has so much potential. I was there from about 7 PM to 10PM and it wasn’t very busy, which surprised me because the food was delicious 🤤. I sat right by the kitchen and couldn’t stop watching all the great looking dishes coming out 🍽️. I did the all you can eat tacos 🌮 and loved every bite. I tried the beef, chicken, and vegetarian tacos. The vegetarian comes with guacamole 🥑, so I mixed and matched a bit to make sure every taco had some guac. No regrets 😄. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive 💛, constantly refilling my water. The DJ was excellent 🎶, playing a fun mix of 90s hits and Spanish music, and when no one was singing karaoke, the music kept the vibe going. He also did a great job encouraging people to get up and sing 🎤. Another thing I loved was the big screen TVs everywhere 📺, so you can see the game no matter where you’re sitting. While I was there, the Miami Heat were absolutely dominating the Detroit Pistons 😂, which made it even more fun. I asked why it wasn’t busier, and they mentioned that Tuesdays are currently their best night. Honestly, I think this place is seriously underrated ⭐ and deserves way more attention than it’s getting. Even though I came by myself, it was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the AC ❄️, eat unlimited tacos 🌮, and listen to karaoke 🎶. I’m really glad I decided to come out, and I’ll definitely be back 🙌.“

“What an incredible little Mexican/Honduran restaurant. Kid you not probably the best steak tacos I’ve ever ever had. This is a must try.“

“We ordered from Taco Fiesta for a work lunch, and it was absolutely amazing! The food arrived fresh, hot, and on time. Each taco was packed with flavor, and the variety was perfect for our team’s different tastes. From the seasoned meats to the fresh toppings, everything was spot on. The salsas added the perfect kick too! The staff was super friendly when we placed the order, and they made sure everything was exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend Taco Fiesta for anyone looking to impress a group or just enjoy some seriously delicious Mexican food. Can’t wait to order again!“

“the service was very good Jordan is a great server“

“I mean the best tacos ever“
