Latin American Restaurants near North Lauderdale

“La Costa Restaurant is hands down the best place I’ve tried in Broward County. I ordered the fries pork chop and it was absolute perfection crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. It came with Mexican rice and tostones, which made the meal even better. Everything was fresh, delicious, and satisfying. This place is a must-try. Amazing food and a great experience overall! My waitress Flor was amazing!“

“I love this place I’ve been coming here for 3 years and the food is always good quality delicious and very affordable can’t go wrong with a number one with cilantro rice and potatoes! I’ve had their steak and pork chops too both very tasty“

“Well I placed my order and I was told it will take 5 minutes , but it wasxtaking longer, I asked them to give me something, I didn't want it anymore, and he hurried up and still gave me that order..A full bowl of rice with a little piece of chicken...I was upset because I told him I wanted to change the order. Also the guava lemonade tasted like the lemon was old or the Guaver was spoiled. 🤔“

“This was the first time at this restaurant in Davie, Florida as I have been to the one in Doral, Florida. My wife and I decided to stop for lunch, we sat down and Dubraska was our waitress. She took our order, which came quickly, and the food was delicious! Everything was very good, in fact, had to take some home. Dubraska was very kind and quick with our order, and I would recommend this restaurant. So the next time you come to Franciscas’, please ask for Dubraska, and she will take care of you! You will love the food and the service as well! Thank you Dubraska! Will see you again soon!“

“Atención 100% Todos son amables. La comida con los mejores ingredientes. Y efectivamente, no mienten cuando dicen que tienen el mejor cortadito de Miami.“

“Riquísimo Todos ea exquisito Recomendado: atención comida todo“

“I really big selection. Typical Latin/ Peruvian dishes.“

“When I first started to go there, the food was a lot better, and the portionsizes were huge. Lately, it's been off. I eat there at least 3-4 times a month, and something has changed. I will continue to patronize because I feel it will make its way back to the standard I know and love.“

“Delicious flavor! Quantity just on point. Attention to detail and AWESOME service! 100% recommended!!!“

“I really big selection. Typical Latin/ Peruvian dishes.“

“First time at this place; the restaurant was clean, the food was outstanding, and the waiter (Brandon) was very attentive. Then again, there were only two or three other tables seated. Awkward ambiance for the first five+/- minutes because there was no music playing and the TVs were off. Finally, the music came on and the dining experience improved ten-fold. Meanwhile, the TVs were never turned on. Not a big deal, in fact... might even be cool to have a place with no TVs, where people are forced to interact with one another. But I digress, if you choose to have televisions in your establishment, keep them on; there's a lot you can do with them, not just have it on TV programming. Anyways, this place is absolutely fantastic and has the potential to be one of the area's best restaurants. I'll definitely be back!“

“A great place to grab any meal. The employees are very kind and go above and beyond to make each visit perfect. We came from out of town and stumbled across this gem. The best fajitas I have ever had. Breakfast fare was just as good. I believe our group ate there four times in one week for the consistency and quality that we experienced.“

“Delicious food 🥘, Exelente Servicio Sara“

“I honestly do not know where to start the food is amazing the owners are just incredible very sweet and very hospitable there is live music every Saturday Antuan Nunez is the singer. We had dinner there Saturday night and we are definitely going back I highly highly highly recommend it it was so much fun and I could say it is the best Spanish food I have ever had!!!The Churrasco steak , the appetizers and even the chips and salsa are honestly the best!!! My son had a delicious cheeseburger with fries and he loved it!!! If I could give them 1000 stars I would we had a great time and I am looking forward to going there again!!!! I highly recommend it!!!“

“Excellent mix of Peruvian and Colombian food! This is a hidden gem in Tamarac. I highly recommend!“

“Cuban food. .with a cosmopolitan flair...right across from BCFPA...Can pay a little extra to park your car there“

“On New Year's day we stop by while waiting for a phone to be programmed at AT&T. Unfortunately they were closed, but we vowed we would come back the menu looked interesting. Glad we came back the food was very good the portions were large and it had to be some of the most authentic Mexican food I've had in the area.“

“Friendly courteous staff. Food is delicious! We will definitely be back.“

“The atmosphere and people are so friendly and family oriented. The food and coffee are so delicious. I look forward to coming here every yearly visit south!!!!“

“We always stop one or more times when visiting Florida“

“We had a really nice meal just to check it out. Pleasantly surprised“

“This little gem is in my neighborhood and it’s been at least 16-17 years since I first walked in the door. The food is excellent, it’s a family owned and operated business, you can tell they care and they’re very real people. The mom’s demeanor when dealing with trouble customers reminds me a lot of the tattoo shops I’ve worked in, they are not a chain so they don’t have to suffer stupidity. I don’t think anything there is cooked off site, bread nor pastries. I’ve never had a less than perfect meal there. The daughter, who is only there part time now is charming, welcoming and among the most beautiful people I’ve ever laid eyes on. Oh! The prices. Not bad at all. Not dirt cheap as Cuban food goes, but definitely affordable. Places like this don’t seem to exist much outside of Little Havana, the Caribbean and Central America. This kind of restaurant/diner is part of the reason I fell in love with South Florida.“

“The food so delicious y recommend it to everybody“

“Perfect Sunday lunch! We will definitely come back again.“

“I’ve been here several times! I was never disappointed. Will keep going back time and time again!“

“I discovered this café while browsing Google Maps, and I’ll admit it was a little tricky to find at first. There’s no exterior signage indicating it’s a café, so I had to call the number listed on Google to get directions. Once inside the Glades building at Sawgrass Technology Park, though, it’s worth the effort!

The interior is spacious and filled with natural light, making it a great spot if you want to work or just relax with a coffee. When I visited, it was quiet and peaceful—perfect for focus or casual conversation.

There’s also plenty of outdoor seating in a lovely courtyard with a fountain and gazebo, offering calming water views. Overall, a hidden gem for coffee, work, or just enjoying a serene break.“

“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“

“Best tacos and Spanish food in town, recommend every single plate in the restaurant from breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The atmosphere is chill and livid at the same time! The team and ownership is super humble and attentive! As a returning customer for over 9 years, nothing beats their services. Definitely recommend them any day of the week and any time of the day. 💯💯💯 on my book.“

“Absolutely amazing I get lunch 7 days a week, great portions, affordable, absolutely delicious. today I got the creamy chicken from the lunch bar, it did not make it to work it was delicious.“

“We are sitting here now. we had the best server you could ask for "Ernesto" I had the short ribs, chimicurro potatoes and the plantains. I have to say this was the best meal and service we have had on our vacation. We can't wait to come back and have Ernesto as our server“

“Tengo 3 años visitando este maravilloso restaurant y sin duda alguna es el mejor restaurant de comida peruana autentica del Sur de La Florida. Exquisitos platillos, uno mejor que el otro, espectacular servicio y atencion y un lindo ambiente sencillo pero al mismo tiempo muy bonito y acogedor. La Causa de Pollo que preparan en Salimar es simplemente una delicia culinaria. Los recomiendo 100%“

“delicioso todo! muy recomendable.“

“Such a hidden “old school “ neighborhood restaurant, I felt like I was back in Mazatlan on the street enjoying amazing food, the fresh pupusas were delicious, soft and crisp and the steak quesadilla so flavorful.Will be back very soon❤️

Vegetarian options: Plenty

Kid-friendliness: Fenced in patio

Parking: 10“

“Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly (specially Andrea) and the food is delicious. It’s definitely not like other expensive restaurants and you only get a small amount of food. I am definitely going back.“

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

“We came in for dinner and had a great experience. We ordered the Jungle and Crazy Ebi rolls, and they were both ridiculously good!

This isn't your average sushi spot—it’s a definitely a unique find with a Latin twist. I noticed most of the rolls come with cream cheese, but I prefer mine without; I asked them to accommodate and they did so without any issues. So good!“

“We were on our way to a seafood shack when I found Casa Playa was a closer walk. The waiter let us know that Happy Hour was at the bar, and our bartender Diego was very friendly and super attentive. He made a killer mojito and all of our food came out quickly and no less deliciously. It’s not “fine dining “ but we had a few appetizers and shrimp skewers with that perfect char-grill taste- What a lovely surprise.“

“Great food, hospitality, generous proportions, authentic Cuban,Latin dishes, friendly staff excellent service. My group holds a meeting once a month in Hallandale location never disappointed.“

“We just happened to google restaurants near by and came across this restaurant! The food was great! My husband’s omelette was exceptional! The coffee was amazing! You should look them up if you are in the Coral Springs area! And the staff was above any other restaurant! Daniel and Nicole made us feel like family! We made a great choice!“

“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!“

“Went here with my boyfriend and we loved it! The food was so yummy. They brought out the cutest little arepitas with cheese to start and they were SO good. My boyfriend is Venezuelan and he said everything tasted really authentic. He ordered a golfeado (which I had never tried before) loved it! And he said it was one of the best he’s had. The owners were wonderful and the atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“por ser mi primera ves fue una bonita experiencia especialmente el aviente Latino que se siente toda la jente bailando pasando de maravillas.“

“Great food and good service. Our food was very delicious. nice friendly service specially Rodolfo and Lorena and of course the rest of the team. I recommend this place 100% Vine a Cenar con mi familia y todo fue fenomenal tanto la comida como el servicio......gracias“

“Professional, amabilidad, atenta. Excelente servicio. Primera vez que mi esposo y yo vamos. Fue por recomendación. Excelente por cierto. Definitivamente volveremos. La comida de sabor exquisito… Como clienta nueva les dejo saber que un restaurante es sobresaliente en su comida y su éxito por las personas que componen el restaurante. Ósea los que atienden a los clientes. Los que nos cocinan. Sin esas personas el restaurante no saliera adelante…. Para Meri, la muchacha que nos atendio excelente servicio al cliente. Muy atenta y amable con nosotros todo el tiempo.“

“Highly recommend everything I’ve tried so far from the burgers, kabobs, and sides“

“Rica comida, buen ambiente, excelente atención like!!“

“Food was great..Waiter on his game.. fast fríendly service.. wished there was one in Gainesville..“

“came here for a quick saturday night dinner.. had a nice time.. service was impeccable.. nice to be treated well while you eat a delicious meal.. we both had the churrasco steak with white rice.. excellent stuff, and definitely recommend stopping by.. atmosphere was super welcoming.. positive experience..“

“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.“
