Mexican Restaurants near Lauderhill

“Taste, quality, portion and customer service“

“The staff could be a little more friendly or at least care that you are there to spend money and not goofing around with each other. The food is great and I hope they bring the brisket back (my favorite). Line moves OK but would be faster if the above mentioned was not happening.“

“Best service and AMAZING tacos“

“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“

“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!“

“Our new absolute favorite must-have when visiting the Hollywood Broadwalk! AMAZING blueberry margaritas!!!! Excellent food and super friendly service. Cannot recommend them enough! ❤️“

“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!“

“One of my fav places for Taco Tuesday. The food, margs & service is always on point! ✨ Everything that we’ve tried on the menu is delish & Jose, our fav bartender, makes the best spicy margaritas in town.😊 Highly recommend to check out this place & a shout out to Tyler as well for his great hospitality. ✨“

“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.“

“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“

“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 .“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – CT Cantina & Taqueria (Dania Pointe, Dania Beach, FL)

I recently visited CT Cantina at Dania Pointe and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun—the vibe and music on Friday night were energetic (a bit loud, but part of the lively ambiance). Service was spot-on: fast, attentive, and our drinks were refilled promptly without having to ask.

What stood out:

The salsa game is strong—super flavorful and authentic. The only downside: the bright red overhead lights made it impossible to distinguish which salsa was which, since they all looked red.

Fresh chips and multiple dips were a treat—though I found them slightly oily, they still had great crunch and taste.

Tacos were solid but had some quirks: the flour tortillas were surprisingly thick, and they shrunk in size compared to past visits. The chicken felt a touch too salty and a bit dry. Still, flavors were enjoyable overall.

On the downside, there was no dessert station anymore—apparently your favorite dessert has been removed. That was a bummer, especially since you used to love it.

Summary:
CT Cantina & Taqueria delivers great ambiance, helpful staff, fast service, and excellent salsas and chips. While the tortilla texture and smaller portions with slightly salty chicken dragged the experience down a bit—and losing the dessert option was disappointing—it’s still worth a visit. Hoping they bring back that dessert station soon!

Happy to return—even without the dessert, it's still a solid spot for casual Mexican with flair.“

“Their donut cakes are awesome. It really hit a home run with a donut themed birthday party for my daughter. Highly recommend“

“amazing carnitas tacos. great food. 👍🏼 highly recommend“

“Sehr lecker und macht viel Spaß“

“Our favorite Mexican Restaurant in South Florida.“

“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.“

“Everything was so fresh, the atmosphere and service were exceptional!“

“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⭐️…..“

“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!“

“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.“

“Not the friendliest staff, but who cares? You go out to eat, to eat, and these people can cook. It is now my standing reservation where in my way to my second job in Monday’s Tuesdays I will stop by and order the chicken soft shell tacos. The salsa is on point, fresh corn tortillas and the chicken is cooked to perfection. If you are in to authentic food stop by, you won’t regret it. Decorations are beautiful.“

“Several vegan options, very fresh. I ate my tacos so fast that I forgot to take a picture. The quinoa and tofu tacos were so flavorful and come with fresh sauce that set these tacos apart. Decent portion sizes align with pricing. The poblano tacos are smooth and savory. Must try!!“

“Great food and service. Will return.“

“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“
