“Amazing experience at Roccos Tacos!
The food and the atmosphere was incredible.
What made our night was the immaculate service from our waiter Allan. He makes you feel welcomed as if you are entering his home as if you were friends with him for years. Ask for him next time you go to Roccos Tacos.“

“Had a wonderful time checking out this spot with my friend today! Tucked away in a nice spot surrounded by beautiful trees and artwork. Hanna was excellent with her service and everything tasted fantastic. Would recommend to anyone checking out the area!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I tried a small Mexican restaurant close to my house and it gets 2+ thumbs up. La Esquina on sr 84 - meh ambiance, but the the food is fantastic! I had the steak & Shrimp - delish as were the chips & salsa with white queso dip. My wife had a steak quesadilla and it was delicious as well. We had the “agave wine” based margaritas to start - they were excellent. Give them a shot….“

“I just had the most amazing shrimp Quesadilla!!! The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection 👍“

“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⭐️…..“

“Great food. Great atmosphere! The Birria tacos 🔥🔥🔥“

“Guys….. you have to come here and enjoy the different flavors even in one taco…. We ordered Al Pastor and from the reserve Short Rib Birria, this one was super tasty and delicious…. If you want to win points with your partner… bring your partner here. Amanda took care of us and she was amazing…“

“These are by far the best tacos I’ve ever had. Very authentic street tacos that make you feel like you’re right at home. Definitely try out the Al Pastor and Chorizo tacos. Owner is a sweetheart and actually cares about the quality of food she makes. I’ve recommended this place to multiple people and will continue to do so.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at CT Taqueria, and it was an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a great meal. The vibrant decor and casual vibe make it the perfect spot for everything from a quick bite to a relaxed evening with friends.

The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations, making sure we had everything we needed.

The food was the star of the show! I ordered the [specific dish, e.g., birria tacos], and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had. The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and the dipping consommé was rich and delicious. My dining companions loved their [specific dishes, e.g., al pastor tacos and chicken quesadillas], and we couldn’t get enough of the chips and fresh guacamole to start.

The drink selection was just as impressive. The margaritas were perfectly balanced, and the [specific drink, e.g., spicy watermelon margarita] was a standout.

What I loved most about CT Taqueria was the authenticity of the flavors combined with the lively and welcoming atmosphere. It’s clear they take pride in their food and customer experience. The prices were reasonable, and the portions were generous.

If you’re craving delicious tacos and a vibrant dining experience, CT Taqueria is the place to be. I’m already looking forward to my next visit! MICHELLE , TEJON , Jason , aaand Roque !!!!“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The food was amazing. We ordered filet mignon, chicken, and enchiladas. I was going elsewhere, saw this restaurant sign, and ended up trying it out. Im glad I did because this is a restaurant I am willing to come again just because the food was that amazing. The filet and chicken were sweet savory and melted in the mouth. Also, the guava cheesecake is made in house and was also on-point!“

“Yum yum yum !!! Wheeew! So I usually drive far to get ACTUAL FLAVOR in tacos. But they have the flavor on lock and I am sooooo glad this is like 10 min from me 🤭. I get the steak tacos with everything and horchata! I recently got Flan and cheesecake because they make it fresh there and it was delicious, I just wish the flan had more of the sweet sauce. Definitely love this place now. Ugh sorry for the low picture quality had to screenshot it from a boomer rang off my instagram lol
Oh the wait sometimes is long but trust me it’s worth it“

“Geronimo was a great server ! The food was amazing ! And the atmosphere was perfect ! I got the Birria tacos and they were the BEST I've ever had. Their guacamole was FRESH and their salsa/sauces were phenomenal .“

“Loko’s Takos is undoubtedly one of the best taco spots in Fort Lauderdale. Their tacos are exceptional, but the quality extends to everything on the menu—I’ve personally tried all their dishes, and each one has been outstanding. They also offer an impressive wine collection, adding to the overall dining experience. The customer service is top-notch; both Stephanie and Lucca provided warm, attentive service that made my visit even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is authentic, and the establishment is impeccably clean and well-maintained. I would rate this place 5 stars…also a great environment to bring your family and friends and we can’t forget about those margaritas :)“

“Visited today and WOW I was blown away! I had the Chimichanga Bowl with soy chicken and it was amazing! The beans and rice was perfection topped with super fresh guacamole 🥑 pico and corn. I’m trying to figure out how to get this delicious vegan dishes every day!!!“

“Great food and service. Will return.“

“Ive been in a couple times and the food wasn’t that great even tho I do like the drinks BUT yesterday I was served by Cass and she is just the best! She is super sweet and nice, she took good care of me. I told her I had some items previously that were too salty and oily and she gave me several recommendations to help accommodate my experience. I love the coconut mojito but now I have new food items that I can enjoy too!!
Side note: I did try the tostadas and ensalada which was 10/10“

“Sehr lecker und macht viel Spaß“

“Mexican Carnitas, a small Mexican restaurant that truly delivers an authentic experience. The customer service was excellent, and Sandra, who took my take-out order, was especially nice and attentive, ensuring that everything was perfect.

I ordered the pastor tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender, with just the right balance of flavors. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation of their dishes, making them some of the best tacos I've had in awhile.

Overall, Mexican Carnitas is a gem for anyone looking for genuine Mexican cuisine. The combination of great food and friendly service makes it a must-visit. I look forward to returning soon to try more of their menu!

I highly recommend treating your taste buds…“

Overall great place for fast and healthy food!“
