“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!“

“My son I law is Mexican American and was visiting from the Northeast The child and guacamole were given 5 stars He ordered the chicken enchiladas and also found them excellent. The grand finale was the Tres Leches for dessert !!! The evening was made especially fabulous by the service and our outstanding waiter. Unfortunately I don't remember his name. Please check your log for our 5:45 pm reservation yesterday. 6/22/25. He deserves recognition for his excellent service!!“

“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 place was awesome!! Took advantage of their lunch specials and got the chicken burrito bowl which was so delicious- and lite on my stomach for the beach. Daughter got a quesadilla from the kids menu, so we got out for under $40 for both of us- which was great price. Service was outstanding. Would highly recommend.“

“Great lobster taco! Enjoyed with a margarita!“

“I saw the reviews and wanted to try it, I thought I was going to a Mexican restaurant. It's a food truck in a gas station parking lot. But don't let that fool you. It was amazing. I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo, egg, avocado slices, refried beans and cheese. It was perfect. I'm looking forward to trying the other menu items. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, don't pass this place up!“

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

“The Mexican BBQ wings were fabulous and the Chicken quesadilla was great. Plenty of chicken. The server take waited on me for to go order was very pleasant and looking forward to my next visit.“

“Wonderful ambiance, amazing food, and perfect service from Guillermo! Thanks for a fantastic experience!“

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

“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.“

“Good food , like the Grill Octopus“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“It was great! For a few of the people I went with it was their first time at El Camino, especially at this location the Boca location and they all were very pleased with their experience with the food and just the ambience. Our server as well she was amazing so patient and very attentive to the table. Also, during the planning process of just even making the reservation, I called a few times to add more people to the party and you guys were extremely flexible which I really appreciated so thank you so much. The experience was excellent.“

“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“

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

“phenomenal food and nice staff“

“The food is always spot on . From the second you walk in the door from the hostess to your server, the attention of service is top notch. Everyone is familiar with the entire menu and can answer any question possible about dietary restrictions or substituting something to make your experience like no other.“

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

“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.“

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

“Good food and super nice staff“

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

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

“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.“

“During our visit to La Bamba Mexican, we had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, with a lively yet cozy ambiance that made us feel welcomed as soon as we walked in. The menu offered a great selection of both Mexican and Spanish dishes, and everything we tried was delicious. The fajitas were sizzling and full of flavor, while the paella was rich and satisfying.

The service was excellent—our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The margaritas were also a highlight, perfectly balanced and refreshing. It was a wonderful dining experience.“

“Ana was our server. She was great from the minute we walked in the door. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The ambience was just perfect. I had birria tacos and they were cooked to perfection. The dipping sauce was delish.
I will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant.“

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

“Love going to Tequila Sunrise for their great fajitas and Thursday fishbowl margarita specials.“

“I have loved this restaurant since 2000!!! I used to work nearby. I just went yesterday and it is STILL exactly the same deliciousness I always get carne asada it comes with cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and guacamole and sour cream. I always switch the yellow rice and black beans to white rice and cheesy refried beans. They are fast to serve the food and never have I ever anything but perfect service. I literally love this place!!!!“

“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.“

“Atmosphere was fun. The main dishes were really good and unexpectedly not like one would expect from a restaurant chain !I would have given it 5 stars but we didn't like the kind of chips they gave us with the salsa. Chips are highly important in a Mexican restaurant and we wanted a more authentic chip rather than a commercial tasting chip. And a bit pricey..“

“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!“

“I love eating here. Our food is fantastic with the exception of their salsa. I wish that they would perfected a little more. It is basically tomato juice with big onions in it. Maybe they could come up with a different version. Then it would be perfection.“

“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.“

“I’m visiting from Indiana & this restaurant is so good. The best Birria tacos I’ve ever had.“

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“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!!“

“Hidden Gem Alert in Pembroke Pines!
My husband and I visited this local spot on Friday, and I have to say, it truly surpassed our expectations. The food was nothing short of phenomenal, and the service was warm, fast, and incredibly attentive from start to finish. We started with the Tacos de Pato a los 3 Chiles, served on a soft corn tortilla. The duck was perfectly roasted and the flavors from the three-chile glaze, morita beans, and house habanero sauce made each bite burst with a delicious heat, balanced beautifully with fresh cilantro. Next up were the 3 Chiles – three crispy rolled corn tortillas stuffed with tender, shredded pork. The chipotle-mayo coleslaw on top added a creamy, smoky crunch, while the habanero sauce gave a delightful kick. It was so good that we both agreed it’s a must-have for our next visit! The star of the meal had to be the Award Winner Wet Burrito. The Mexican picadillo, bathed in the signature three-cheese “Salsa Wet” sauce, was absolute perfection. We couldn’t stop raving about how rich and flavorful it was. And for a final touch, we tried the picadillo mini nachos, which were to die for! The portion was perfect, and the flavors came together in a way that left us craving more. Overall, this hidden gem in Pembroke Pines won our hearts. The atmosphere was inviting, the staff service was amazing and fast, and the dishes showcased incredible depth and authenticity. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Hidden gem of Boca Raton.
This great little Mexican restaurant has a relatively limited menu, but in a good way: all the dishes are great and cared for versus trying to get every option on the menu without much effort towards quality.
Their salsa is very fresh (I personally add salt, but that’s my preference) and their salsa verde is wonderfully hot.
The fajitas are a must try (make sure to get loaded for the extra toppings), and with 2-4 extra tortillas (CORN!) can easily feed 3 people.
The spinach tostadas are a favorite meal for a few people I know, and all of the quesadillas are excellent.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, but they’re not marked“

“The best Taco Thursday and happy hour in the
Town. I'm been rolling in this world, including Mexico 🇲🇽 lindo y querido, and this is the best tacos, and I'm not a seller . Very good and delicious flavor. 110% recommend 👌.“

“This place is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely amazing—everything I tried was delicious, but the pupusa was hands-down the best. So flavorful and perfectly made! The atmosphere might not be fancy on the outside, but don’t let that fool you—the food is what matters, and it does not disappoint. On top of that, Alexia was such a pleasant person, full of great energy, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic, incredible food and warm service, this is the place to go. I'll definitely be back!“
