“ALL ABOUT THE FOOD. I recommend this authentic Mexican Restaurant. Excellent, fresh everything. Definitely not your typical fare although they have enough to make you feel at home. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. The owners are lovely. A simple place, nothing fancy. Go for the quality of the food and the warmth of the owners. Definitely try the Spicy Margarita.“

“Omg this was the best experience ever our server Erika was on top of everything. The drinks were amazing, the food OMG no word can explain how great it was, and the atmosphere was very nice. I am from Miami and have been to many taco places but this has to be number one. I have never done a review for a taco place but this was a well deserved one. I recommend the carnitas, pastor, and chicharrón tacos the are great. As for drinks the sangria is super refreshing. Thank you for the best experience ever La mexicana!!!!!!“

“The delicious veggie fajitas and vegetarian bowl made a great weeknight dinner and enough for lunch the next day! Fresh modern decor was a welcome change from the usual themed-based decor usually found in Mexican restaurants. Staff was friendly and service was very good.“

“I found spot randomly driving around and it seemed like a cool place so I came in by myself. An extremely polite gentleman invited me to the bar and took my order. The service was fast and professional. I ordered 3 street tacos and I got beef, pork and chicken. I was blown away at how delicious this food was. Easily the best tacos I've ever had. I also really enjoyed the Quvo Named craft beer. I was surprised to learn that the gentleman and woman serving me were the owners! I'll definitely be returning.“

“I travel to boca for work and one of my favorite spots is Rocco’s Tacos in Boca. They have the best bartender, Sal. He takes care of his customers. I don’t even have to ask for my order, he already knows. This place would not be the same without him. As long as Sal is there, I will continue to visit Rocco’s. The pork tacos and spicey margaritas are the best!“

“Was in Wilton Manors four nights and I ate here three of them! I'm gluten free so you can never go wrong with tacos. My favorites were def the chicken, chorizo, and the grouper, hold the onions. Bartender was a cool cat providing relaxed but attentive service. I didn't try the ceviche because I was solo but it looked amazing and very shareable, next time. My mezcal margaritas hit the spot I truly wish there was a Tulios in my hometown.“

“My husband and I have been here multiple times and have had a great experience EVERY TIME. The owner is lovely, the staff is magnificent and the food is phenomenal. Everything is fresh and delicious.Margaritas to die for. Guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo and chip are a must have. Steak tacos yum, burritos the best. Churros are hand down the BEST I’ve EVER had in my life!!!Thank you Lokos Takos, we will be back soon! ?“

“Just recently dined here. Food was Delicious! Can not go wrong with some tacos or some pupusas!! Cooked to perfection. Fresh straight out the oven. Service was amazing. Appreciate Sandy’s hard work! Highly recommend to visit! Would come back again.“

“Trendy Mexican restaurant with different menus for the bar or the table. Either menu you choose you won't go wrong. The tortas are very filling and tasty and the main dishes fresh and with the expected Mexican flavors. Very nice addition to our local cuisine! They also have live Mariachis at times!“

“Service was top notch! The atmosphere is nice, but it is difficult to hear conversations and the band plays to the street not the restaurant. The tacos and elote' were great as was their guacamole flight, but their red salsa is needlessly sweet.Parking: About $4 an hour. But it is close to the pier and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea venues.“

“Always great food and easy going friendly service. The pupusas and other Salvadorian dishes are always delish, my favorite being the cheese and bean pupusa and the chicken taquitos.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian section has options of main dishes with cheese and veggies instead of the meat protein.“

“Best taco truck in town! I’ve tried many other trucks and taquerias in the area and this by far is the best. I’ve had the birria tacos, burritos, café, and breakfast tacos. Everything was delicious. I save extra sauces for meals at home. I stop here at least twice a week ?“

“Picked up some absolutely amazing tacos from here. There were 3 before I inhaled one. As you can see they come fully stacked. As a vegan, it was really nice to have an option and they were super authentic. As a hot sauce lover, please please try their hot sauce. And as a taco lover, chefs kiss A plus all around. The guy who took my order was super friendly and hilarious and I met the owner/cook and she was his mom. Very authentic and family owned!!!!Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos!“

“OMG let me begin with how delicious the guacamole taste . I had the shrimp quesadillas and let me tell u they are the BEST quesadillas I have ever had. My friend loved his tacos. And we will definitely make the trip again to eat some great food. The coconut mojito was super. The. Corn was good too but needs something to hold on to it. It's really messy with your fingers. Service was good. Outside seating was nice. Will be back :)“

“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.“

“Whenever I go to a place for the first time, I pay attention to the customer service and I think this was what I loved most about the place, excellent service, we tried the esquites and the cholao, I feel that theskites lack a A little bit, I tried them for the first time in Mexico and I loved them, but this does not mean that they were not delicious, in general everything was delicious and with a very pleasant atmosphere, the only observation I have to make is that they should appear on the menu the prices, the places where I have attended the menu has the price list.“

“I come here often for the taco Tuesday special and I will simple say the tacos are great! The house margs are good but I do order a regular one. And Jazmin is the best server here (sorry everyone else)! Great price and atmosphere for everything ??“

“A true South Florida staple!!. Unreal flavor and quality. I will keep coming to bohemian Latin grill for as long as I live in Florida!Vegetarian options: Any substitutions can be accommodated forDietary restrictions: YesKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Authentic Mexican foodAsk for Caldo de Camarón on SundaysAmazing Sopes, Barbacoa and carnitas tacos.If you are into Mexican, Esmeralda it’s a must.Wheelchair accessibility: The place it’s accessible for the wheelchair and the tables are low.“

“We've been going to Prison Pals every so often during the past year & have always enjoyed the food & drinks. My personal favorite are the smoothie beers, which are so yummy & different from anything else I've ever had! We loved the food too, especially the empanadas so I was so disappointed to find out that they no longer make them. Hopefully they bring them back because they were amazing, especially with some cilantro aioli!“

“The taco lunch special was our first visit. The delicious house salad blew me away—who gives you hearts of palm and blood oranges?! The chicken fajitas were plentiful, but there could have been more avocado, tomatoes and cheese. May I suggest including sour cream too, because it would be saucier & even more flavorful.“

“This place is my new favorite. The whole ambiance inside is absolutely stunning. The staff was super friendly especially the bartender & Shawna. The chips & guac and shrimp fajitas are absolutely delicious. The Barbacoa flatbread is incredible. Can’t wait to come back.“

“It is a beautiful restaurant, if you don't have a reservation which is ridiculous you have to put a credit card. It Hass to be minimum of 10 people on a normal night. You could wait 2 1/2 hours which I think is ridiculous! Food is so so nothing great Drinks were really good when they first opened not so hot now. But beautiful location for sure.“

“Replaces another Mexican local with better price points, generous portions, good presentation, better margaritas—a little stronger yet remaining balanced, and attended constantly with abundant staff, and provided unlimited complimentary chips and salsa. Objectively, the chips could be crispier/fresher/warmer. Overall, all in our party of seven were very satisfied. 4.25 out of 5 stars.“

“We were in the mood for Mexican food and wandered into Casa Tequila. It's now on our list of go-to places for Mexican. Fancy? No. Delicious? Yes. Filling? Let's just say a "doggie" bag escorted us home... but none of the delicious leftovers went to the dog! The place was crowded on a Friday night (yes, this is Boca in "season"), as both inside and outside seats were full and people were waiting for a table. Casa Tequila takes reservations only for parties of 8 or more. Fortunately, the wait wasn't too long, and we were seated in the bar area. We were actually happy with this as the soft leather seats were quite comfy. The menu is extensive and offers the usual assortment of fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, burritos and more. They also feature several other seafood, meat and chicken entrees. The made-to-order chicken soup and seafood soup sounded delicious, and looked enticing as the people at table next to us were enjoying the large bowls of chicken soup. We gobbled up a complimentary basket of fresh, warm tortilla chips and a nice, chunky salsa. There were several types of hot sauce on the table that could be used to spice up the salsa. Ole! I ordered two chimichangas with chicken, which came with sides of rice and refried beans. The chimi's were excellent: flavorful and filling. The refried beans were overcooked though and were disappointing. The menu featured two chimichangas for just a few dollars more than a single chimi. I couldn't pass up that bargain. The second one came home with me as the first one was sufficient for a meal. My wife enjoyed her "super" chicken burrito with grilled chicken, although the quantity of chicken seemed fairly limited as compared to the large portion of rice and beans within the burrito. She opted for black beans instead of refried beans, which was a good choice in light of the overdone beans I was served. We generally enjoyed our dining experience at Casa Tequilla and will return again to explore other menu items.“

“We visited the Cielito Lindo Tres restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, which surprised us with its delicious Mexican food, with the perfect spicy seasoning. Very well decorated, typically Mexican atmosphere. Super service and cordiality from the restaurant staff. Beyond recommended.“

“Delectable beyond belief. I am very glad I found this establishment because it hasn't been easy to locate a place that genuinely makes delicious tacos. I sampled the al pastor, lengua, and cabesa tacos. The tastes are amazing. I'm eager for the next opportunity to try something else. Definitely try the food here!“

“My friends and I just had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Our waiter, Marlon, was extremely kind and gave great suggestions to us since we are from out of town. The quesadillas are fire and rlly hit the spot today. Will definitely be back!!“

“OMG..Best tacos and Mexican food in the area. Sometimes they have live performances out front and the ambience is always nice. I however prefer my tacos from the inside. You can call in your order and then pick them up.UPDATE: 2023I still get my tacos from the Mexican Supermarket. They offer a delightful eating experience that's both flavorful and tasty. My personal favorites are the Taco Al Pastor and the Taco de Lengua (beef tongue), both of which never disappoint. The Al Pastor is a burst of savory and slightly spicy goodness, while the Lengua taco is a tender and unique treat for the adventurous palate.One thing to note is that you may have to exercise some patience while waiting for your food to be prepared. However, I can assure you that the wait is absolutely worth it. The freshness and authenticity of the ingredients is in every bite, making the extra time a small price to pay for such delicious fare.Moreover, the customer service at the Mexican Supermarket is commendable. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making your dining experience all the more enjoyable. They take pride in serving up these delectable dishes.If you're a fan of Mexican cuisine and appreciate bold, authentic flavors, the Mexican Supermarket is a must-visit. Don't miss the Al Pastor and Lengua tacos, and be prepared for a short wait that's well worth the mouthwatering rewards. Your taste buds will thank you for it!“

“My wife and I call it "Zona Fresca Friday" every week. Been going since it opened The food is fresh, big portions and they have a ceviche special. Great salsa bar. The staff is so friendly as well. Our "go to" for Mexican.“

“I'm in town for a week for training hosted by the city across the street from this location. The outside did not look appealing, but the inside was different. The dining area offers take-out or seating for 60 people (my guesstimate). Everything was clean, including the bathrooms. They have a small market with key items for purchase. Now my opinion on the food, it was Amazing! It is some of the most authentic Mexican I've had outside of Mexico. The quality and taste of everything I've had on three separate visits so far has been eye-rolling good (Keith Lee reference)! I stopped in for breakfast at 7 a.m. and it was packed with locals grabbing lunch and breakfast for the day. All of the staff have been very friendly and helpful. I will stop in a couple of more times before I leave the area this week.“

“I have been a customer since the restaurant opened, more than 20 years ago. Griselda's service has always been excellent.It's a good idea to make tortillas by hand.The birria should be served like the barbacoa.Thank you very much, you are still the best of the 3 counties.Atte. Lazaro Galindo“

“The Sunday Brunch is a great choice with friends or family. Yesterday we came for an early dinner for a change and we absolutely loved the food, the pomegranate Margarita and our waiter was amazing. The Seafood Chipotle Extravaganza is the ultimate foodie experience. I dare you to order it….“

“Wow! This place deserves 5 stars for sure. From the minute we walk in the door, we were greeted so kindly by the hostess. We were seated immediately. Almost all the tables were filled. That’s was a good sign that we were at a good place. Scott was our server and he was fantastic! The food was authentic and delicious. Prices were great for the portion size. I would definitely be back and recommend to anyone wanting authentic Mexican food!Parking: There was a good amount of parking.Kid-friendliness: The menu had kid friendly items for children that don’t really like to try new things!“

“Great food, great service, great location, and a great vibe! When we had gone we ordered the Wacamole, the Burrito, and the Mexican pizza, all of which was delicious. Our waitress, Samantha, was truly a pleasure as well. Highly recommend anyone to come here!!“

“I just had a chicken burrito and it was very large and absolutely fabulous. It came with rice, lettuce, peppers, pulled chicken, and tangy sauce which was perfect, and enough food to eat on for at least three days. I am definitely going back.“

“I have been coming to tequila sunrise for years now and have never been disappointed. My son absolutely loves it too. Great food, great service, and live music. What more could you ask for? Oh and they are an Eagles Bar! So cool. This is the place to go if you want good Mexican food with an even better ambiance!“

“Good authentic Mexican restaurant. Average prices. Nice atmosphere. Good food.The help and wait staff was not alert or aware though, since we had been waiting for 15 minutes before I finally got up and asked a random waitress if we could be served with menus and would also like to order shortly. They didn’t come to take our order for another 10 minutes. Also, they never checked after we got our meals, to see if we needed any refills or anything else, like most restaurants do.“

“Today January 06 - 2024 is the first time I have bought my kings' cake on this site and I can say, THE BEST in all of South Florida. It was fresh out of the oven. Fresh, soft, with excellent flavor, the place is very clean, I bought other passes that were on the counter and they were also fresh, delicious. The site was full and the employees were attentive to everyone. I recommend them“

“This place is the bomb. Freakin awesome. Great food. Always hot to order amd the customer service rocks. Guy from food network was on point in how good this place is. Maybe we will see chef Anthony hoff on the next triple GGG. I just wish you had a loyalty program.“

“If your a local, you know. If new to Broward or visiting for business or tourist go eat at Zona Fresca. Fresh Mexican street food, priced well and supported with a “World Class Salsa Bar”. Located next to a local landmark BC surf & sport this restaurant is family friendly and comfortable year round. Large portions, the best fish tacos and did I mention the “Salsa Bar”. Make some custom nachos while waiting for your order. Located north of Sunrise Blvd on west side of Federal highway Zona Fresca won’t disappoint . Tacos, burritos , taquitos, salads and more.. Look for the fresh ceviche, it sells quickly so get there early. Dine often, take home something for your friends & family. See you there. Muy Bueño !“

“True authentic Mexican food! This place is a must! From their daily specials to the overal menu! Chef Dorita and the host/server, Ana are absolutely amazing!!!! I had the chicken soup with a side of homemade tortillas and salsa verde!!! Out of this world!!!!“

“Been going to Mariachis since when it was next to the Coral Square Mall. I'm glad to still see some of the guys from 20+ years ago, still there. The owner greets you at the door most of the times and he and the staff tends to remember you from previous visits. The food is awesome, high quality and seasoned! The prices went up about 15% since the first visit.“

“Food is pretty good. I think the menu tries to do too much in that it has many options instead of being focused on making core items good. With that being said, I’ve tried a few things and have liked them. The margaritas are really good as well. Def recommend. I also like the covered porch.“

“Very tasty! Great cheerful staff and ambiance. Primary colored painted tables, chairs, wall hangings of villages, etc. I had the Baja salad which was loaded with steak. Added some chulula and it was very good. My dad had the cheese quesedillas which filled the plate and made him smile. The parking lot was empty on a Friday. Hoping that's no indication of things to come as I'd definitely go back to Blue Agave.“

“Nailed it! One of my favorite new restaurants can’t believe i didn't know about this hidden gem. Menu is large and in charge with the selection. From Mexican pizza to steak fajitas and queso and chips. Absolutely hit the mark. This will be a regular Tuesday spot for the fam.“

“It is a good place to eat, the waitress is very nice and provides excellent service, the food is excellent and at a very good price, I would like there to be music and the televisions were without audio, but overall it is a very good place to eat . I highly recommend it.“

“My mom and husband came in tonight around 8pm. Claudia was our server and she was AMAZING! We love this place and come often but tonight was our first time meeting Claudia and the service was excellent, her recommendations were amazing and we had the best time celebrating our birthdays tonight! We will definitely be back and definitely be asking for Claudia !“

“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!!“
