50 Best Latin American Restaurants near Sunrise

“Nilio was very accommodating and knowledgeable about what would work for our event and very easy to work with, as well. In addition, the food was excellent and plentiful so much so that all of the unfinished dishes were brought back to our offices and enjoyed over and over again!

Vegetarian options: Nilio, did an excellent job at providing a variety of options for our vegetarian menu and each was also delicious.“

“Un pedazo de Venezuela en Sunrise!“

“Pollo Tropical, Spanish for Tropical Chicken is a South Florida based company founded in 1988 by two brothers from Miami, Larry and Stuart Harris. They developed their marinade recipe through backyard barbecues. Their restaurant concept was to marinate and grill the chicken in full view of the customer. By 1993 they had grown to eight restaurants serving Latin Caribbean and Cuban food. Pollo Tropical is now a subsidiary of Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. The company headquarters are in Doral and they currently own and operate more than 140 locations throughout Florida, plus five on college campuses, and 32 franchised locations throughout the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Puerto Rico.

I remember eating at Pollo Tropical quiet often in the early 2000's because you could always get a fast, economical, and healthy meal. I especially love the curry sauce but through the years the grubbiness of the restaurants were a real turn off and I gradually stopped going.

Fast forward to today when I was with someone who wanted to eat here. I didn't have high hopes but in the interest of being agreeable I went along. Wow, I have to say I am impressed. The restaurant was spotless with an updated tropical color scheme. It looked clean and spacious. The tables weren't sticky and dirty which was always a problem before. Gone is the sloppy, messy sauce station. Instead you request your sauce and it is given portioned out in plastic cups.

The young lady who took our order was so nice. I got my usual chicken tropichop with yellow rice and the bowl was topped with perfectly grilled tender chunks of chicken. So good especially when drizzled with the curry sauce. I ate inside and it was very pleasant but you can get your food to go from the drive thru too. This was a really good lunch that didn't leave me feeling heavy, tired, and bloated after. This location of Pollo Tropical deserves accolades.“

“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!“

“Amazing. I highly recommend the all you can eat for $34.99! Best $35 that I’ve ever spent on food. Basically a 6 course meal, and if you want more, then you can order more! Exceeded all expectations that I had going in. I drove a hour to get here and it was well worth the drive. I will do it again. Everything was made to order and top notch! Our server Emilie was amazing explaining the menu items every step along!“

“Great Service and fenomenal food.“

“Café ( todo es exquisito ) 😋“

“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.“

“Amazing food and great company! Danny is amazing and will def go back!“

“excelente servicio, la comida deliciosa, se los recomiendo“

“Delicious food 🥘, Exelente Servicio Sara“

“The food here is absolutely amazing - authentic Mexican! I’ve tried different dishes, and none have disappointed. I highly recommend the molcajete, I’ve had it at many places, but this one is by far the best. The service is always wonderful too. The ladies are very attentive. Damaris heard it was my and my sister-in-law birthday, and surprised us with cake, which was such a sweet detail. And I have to mention her micheladas, they are so good and I’m not even a beer (or michelada) person. Highly recommended this place!“

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

“Great server. Fast and fresh paella.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I had a hangry guest with me and even HE couldn’t hold his frown here! ?

Delicious authentic Cuban sandwich, plantains, black beans, rice, and fries!

Dietary restrictions: They effortlessly handled my gluten free request! ?“

“Lunch 🍱 with my coach is ok“

“The food so delicious y recommend it to everybody“

“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.“

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

“It was my husband and I 3rd time dining at this restaurant and I must say that they never disappoint. The customer service is always amazing and the food is always delicious and made with love. If you are reading this please just go and see for yourself and see. You won’t regret it“

“Very disappointed, have been going there for years, but last visit food was of poor quality, no taste...“

“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❤️

“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%“

“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.“

“delicioso todo! muy recomendable.“

“delicious food reaonable prices“

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

“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!“

“Fué una experiencia maravillosa célebre mi cumpleaños como Dios manda .“

“Review Anthonys Runway 84, November, 2023 Spectacular! I have had some of the finest restaurants all over the world and New York and Las Vegas. So if I say this is spectacular, it’s because it exceeds expectations in just about every facet of the experience, especially for South Florida. I had the pleasure of dining there on my birthday November 25, 2023. This restaurant has been an institution in Fort Lauderdale for decades, known for its delicious Italian food. When you walk in the walls are lined with framed photographs of celebrities, entertainers, public figures, etc. who have dined at Anthony’s Runway 84. I have eaten here many times throughout the years, but not since the beautiful renovation. There is, of course, valet parking. Thereafter, you are transported. When you walk in, you are greeted by a gentleman who greets you like family. The restaurant itself is reminiscent of a beautiful, high-end supper as in New York, London or Monaco. The design is refined and sexy. The staff is also refined and sexy, as well as the many of the polished clientele. And of course, there are normal folks like myself…-) The Food is exceptional, as it has always been. But fair warning – the portions are immense. Did they get bigger? Next time I go, I will twist my dates arm to share an entrée which this date refuse to do…-). The drinks are made fairly strong, not the watered-down version of so many South Florida restaurants, they have a full bar. My Black Russian with Tito’s, milk and easy rocks was made perfectly. The service was spot on. Our server Kasey was perfect. She was attentive without being intrusive. She catered to our every request quickly and cheerfully. She could not have been more perfect. She was a pleasure. The food was served fairly quickly after we ordered and again the portions are very large. Both my date and I had the chicken Parmesan, which was delicious and served at the perfect temperature, with the chicken both crispy and savory. We finished dinner about 8 o’clock. Just about this time, there was a large and lively sophisticated crowd at the bar. I have a feeling this restaurant really gets going after 9 PM. I know they have entertainment, but sadly we were done before the entertainment started. Oh, did not see the bill, I know that the prices are fairly high, although still a fraction of what is charged in many of the high-end restaurants in Miami, which I’ve dined at and don’t hold a candle to this restaurant. Last, but not least, the General Manager, JOE is exceptional. He is personable, stopping to talk with many of the guests here and there, he’s also a hands-on GM when we needed salt and pepper, or any little thing he was more than happy to accommodate. He not only responded personally to my email request, but responded fairly quickly. Impressive! As most of you who see my reviews know - I’m very hesitant to strongly recommend most anything. This restaurant is an exception. It is truly spectacular. Do not visit Fort Lauderdale without visiting this restaurant. It probably books months in advance, especially during season, so book early! I Recommend and you will thank me…Sunny“

“I have been to Casa Borinquen a couple of times. First of all, both times, I started with an Alcapuria. Hands down, they have the best Alcapuria I have ever had. It is nice and crispy on the outside and the inside is super flavorful with the right amount of filling. It is worth going to Casa Borinquen for the Alcapuria, but wait. The monfongo is also awesome. I had it once with "carne frita" and then with "bistec encebollado", both were great. Go to Casa Borinquen, you will love the food and the quaint ambiance of the restaurant, and their friendly staff, and you will keep going back!“
