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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 🌮🌽✨“

“great food got served almost instantly, waiter was very nice and even had nice recommendations. As someone that used to work in a restaurant , it would’ve been nice to know that an automatic 18% gratuity was being added for 2 adults and one child. caught me off guard. no one even mentioned it, AT ALL. overall lovely experience aside from that.“

“This is the best restaurant in the area, for sure. Great food and great customer service.“

“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⭐️…..“

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

“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.“

“Great lobster taco! Enjoyed with a margarita!“

“Had a GREAT TIME! The food was incredible and absolutely delicious! Leia was wonderful!!! We will definitely be back to have her take care of us again!“

“Brooke was very attentive and nice. She asked questions and started conversations with us. We felt very welcomed. She even offered our puppy Dunkin water. The guac cart was also a highlight of our visit. We are very appreciative and would come back for the service alone.“

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

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

“My favorite Birria Quesadilla in the area. Always delicious, juicy, and they’re very generous with the consumé. My husband loves their tacos. I highly suggest the California burrito with steak. It’s absolutely phenomenal. They recently stared doing smash burgers and holy mother of knocked it out the park! Wish they had longer hours, but it’s easy to order ahead and just pick it up. There’s also a cute seating area nearby, some picnic tables and lights. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area. The kids meals are perfect, my kids are all burritos children. Their guacamole is flavorful and fresh. Their salsas are also very well seasoned and the red is the perfect spice level. 10/10 recommend.“

“AMAZING flavor!!!! I’ll be back…maybe in an hour.“

“We were 12 people celebrating 70th birthday. Our table was ready when we arrived and the service was great. The food was again top notch. Great vibe always at El Camino. We will continue to dine here! Thanks for helping me celebrate a grand day“

“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.“

“New to Pompano Beach and found our Mexican fix! Renata was fantastic and the food was incredible. We will definitely be here weekly .“

“Food was so good that I forgot to take a picture. I’m definitely going to be coming back. The atmosphere, the drinks, everything was excellent. I ordered the guacamole, the regular margarita, and my sister ordered three tacos: octopus, barbacoa, and la birra. Very authentic. 😋“

“We have been dining here for a few months now and it’s one of my favorite restaurants. Fast friendly service Mike was our waiter this evening & was fantastic. I highly recommend 5 Stars ⭐️ The food is so delicious and fresh.“

“Good food and super nice staff“

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

“Good food, a little slow but it was pretty busy. Guacamole was a little bland but we lit some salt and pepper in and it was good, tasted fresh. All our meals were good. Luis was our server and did the best he could with how busy they were.“

“Delicioso! Very tasty and generous portions were served in an attractive manner. It was difficult picking out my fave because there are so many goodies to choose from. Service was prompt and thorough, and Torero's has a nice ambience within. My favorite local dining experience.“

“Lo súper recomiendo,la comida estuvo 🤤rica y el servicio 💯“

“Love this place! We visit every time we're back in town and it never disappoints. We just came here with a large party (14). A bunch of family members all came in from out of town and we all missed this place. I wish they had one where we live. The food is so good!“

“Good food , like the Grill Octopus“

“Hands down the best tacos I had in Broward/Palm Beach are period! Flavor great, prices great,food great. My wife and I come here more often than we would like to admit 🤣, if you come here and order 3 tacos and leave o promise you, you will be upset at yourself! The food here is great!“

“This place is one of my favorite places to eat and I’m so happy they opened it! Being from a state where they are everywhere I am so excited for them to keep opening in south Florida over the next couple years. The management is also great, Josh is a splendid guy!“

“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.“

“One of the best family restaurants that I've been too quality food.Excellent service and the nicest nicest people.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Really excellent authentic mexican food. Large portions and great flavor. The french fries taste just like mcdonalds, which my son loved. My only complaint is they are a little stingy on the chips and salsa. That tiny littke basket of 8 chips isnt going to cut it. Would definitely come back again.“

“I mean the best tacos ever“

“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!“

“love this place, the staff are all wonderful. food is to die for, ofcourse the margaritas 🍹 😋 are the best. highly recommend this place.“

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

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“Ordered on DoorDash and it was very fresh, filling and delicious. Only thing that makes it a 9/10 instead of 10/10 is that the “free” toppings such as cheese lettuce onion etc were limited to only 5. Will still be going there over chipotle from now on“

“Very friendly receptionist, delicious strawberry margarita and very tasty chicken tacos. My server, Kerry was very friendly, professional, and had a wonderful personality. I look forward to returning and enjoying more of their delicious Mexican food. Thank you again Kerry …. For providing such excellent service. It made my evening.“

“The bowls were awesome! The perfect amount for a great dinner. They have a lot of options to choose from in their menu and have a lot of additional toppings. Everything is perfectly seasoned and have great prices so the whole family can enjoy!!“

“Been getting take out for years all the way back to when they were on Palmetto. It never disappoints. I hope everyone will support this wonderful family owned restaurant.“

“Food was great, had the barbacoa enchiladas en salsa verde and theyvwere delicious. My friend had the burrito and said it was excellent. In the past the meat by the pound tacos has always been great.
I accompanied it with an horchata, yes lots of sugar, but it is so good!!!
Had a new waitress, was a bit out of synch but the place is worth it.“
