Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Arrived at 1 AM looking for some dinner. Was quiet but alive nice little crowd in there. The bartender was extremely friendly and gave me recommendations about town as I was not a local. Had a delicious tequila sunrise two for one on the tequila so you get a double and I had the coconut shrimp tacos, which were incredible. The rice and beans here to die for there’s something special not your typical Mexican restaurant, rice and beans but a cuban style mix with tons of flavor and a beautiful presentation. I wish I had snagged a photo, but my phone was charging behind the bar, again kudos to the incredibly friendly bartender."
"My husband and I tried this place for the first time while on vacation. We ended coming here twice because of the margaritas! The margaritas were really good here, and great prices for them! You can even take your drinks to go if you aren't finished with it. Highly recommend giving the coconut shrimp a try! We really enjoyed those. The burrito, however, was extremely dry and not that good. The wings were good too we got the medium & they had great flavor."
"Killing time between shenanigans and stopped by. Ordered the empanadas and margarita (drinks are always BOGO ). Food was tasty, but could've been seasoned more. The mango margarita was phenomenal - plus the added salt, sugar, AND tahini on the rim!"
"Stopped by here for lunch and it was probably the busiest place on the strip for a couple blocks but not over crowded. While they have weekly specials and happy hour all day, be aware that 2 for 1 items are per person (like you and a friend can’t get 2 giant margaritas and just pay for one). Service was attentive when around but also missing some of the time. The food was tasty but the queso on the burrito was pretty salty. Also the burrito was very dense, missing something fresh or with a crunch or something to give it dimension. The loaded taco salad and the fiesta bowl comes in a huge taco shell which is always a plus on my book. The salad was good but very lettuce dense (about 3/4 of the tall shell bowl) and if you ate just from the top down, about halfway through you’d only have lettuce left. The chicken on the salad was quite tasty. Lastly, the view from the sidewalk seating can’t be beat on a beautiful So Flo day."
"Looked up places to eat with good reviews ..! Drunken tacos pulled up and we decided to dine here ..! Dj was our server and he was really prompt with his service ..! We ordered - margaritas ( blueberry pomegranate and the lime margaritas.. Kids chicken and cheese taco with waffle fries - Mahi mahi taco with beans and rice - & chicken tacos .. everything was delicious The way have a fleet of Tabanero sauces ..! So yummy ..! Must try .!"
"Great drinks and food. The sampler is huge. Fajitas were very good and enough for 2 people to split."
"The best Margaritas ever!!! They have the 2 for 1 large ones. Great food, music, and the service was great! It is right on the beach so beautiful views"
"The restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale was a win. The Baja chicken tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the chicken fajitas came out sizzling and well-seasoned. Great vibe, solid portions, and definitely worth a return visit"
