Stopped in here with my mom & her bf to get some sweets & they did not disappoint! You order at the register, they bring out your order & you pay after you finish. My mom got a cholado, I got an Oreo milkshake w/caramel & my moms bf ordered the banana split. I tried my moms cholado and will definitely be getting my own on my next visit! It was the perfect balance of sweet & refreshing. The milkshake was really good & the attendant who took our order had informed us that they make all their own ice cream. Cute little hole-in-the-wall spot with a good amount of tables indoors & nicely decorated with Mexican decor including a photo op wall! read more

Caprichos Mexicanos is a hidden gem!! If you like spicy, salty sweet and savory snacks, this is the place to find it! From paletas, to fruit with tajin and candy on top, to ice cream and savory snacks with spicy sauces, there are just so many different options to choose from!! I had the soursop water paleta and it was so good, full of fruity flavor even when made with water. There are different kinds of paletas made with milk for a creamer taste. I also ordered the mangonada, a delicious snack. They put chamoy on the inside of the cup, fill it with mango sorbet and top it with more chamoy and tajin. They also place a tamarind candy in the in the mangonada for a nice little snack afterwards. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying other snacks they have to offer. Check them out on a hot summers day for a nice treat! read more

I had the most incredible experience trying the mangonada at this place! The combination of flavors was simply amazing. The homemade ice cream took it to another level, adding a creamy richness that perfectly balanced the refreshing mango. The sweetness was just right, not overwhelming at all. And let me tell you about the Chamoy--it was generously drizzled over the top, showing they truly don't hold back on toppings. But it's not just about the food; the customer service was exceptional. The staff was attentive and incredibly welcoming, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. This spot has definitely become my go-to for a satisfying treat with fantastic service! ¡Tuve una experiencia increíble probando la mangonada en este lugar! La combinación de sabores fue simplemente asombrosa. El helado casero le dio un toque especial, añadiendo una riqueza cremosa que equilibró perfectamente la refrescante mango. El nivel de dulzura fue perfecto, sin resultar abrumador en absoluto. Y déjame contarte sobre el Chamoy: estaba generosamente cubierto por encima, demostrando que realmente no escatiman en los ingredientes. Pero no se trata solo de la comida; el servicio al cliente fue excepcional. El personal estuvo atento y increíblemente acogedor, lo que hizo que toda la experiencia fuera aún más placentera. ¡Este lugar definitivamente se ha convertido en mi favorito para disfrutar de un postre satisfactorio con un servicio fantástico! read more

This place is great! Traditional Mexican treats/ice creams and more. I have been here three times now. I have met the owner and know they make all their Ice creams in house. You are getting homemade deliciousness! You can tell there is a lot of love in all their creations. This is a must if you are in the area and want a treat. Great staff, always friendly.

My husband knows the way to my heart somehow he always finds places that take me back to my roots. Caprichos Mexicanos took me back to Latin America with flavors that are not only delicious but genuine. Caprichos mexicanos opened up recently and I'm so glad they did! You must visit and try some of the items in their large menu. They use natural and fresh ingredients and they have treats that combine multiple cultures not only Mexico. The owners were so kind and helped us to choose some of the exciting things! The prices are affordable. On our first visit we chose some "Dorielotes with a cheese melt party and a "raspado" or shaved iced with coconut and pineapple. They were so good! We can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. Thank you for bringing part of my heart to my new home with your flavors and kindness! read more

I would probably never have tried some of the things I did on the regular but so happy I did !! The staff is so so nice & the space was clean. Can not wait to be back!

We wanted to support a local small business ice cream shop and stumbles across Caprichos Mexicanos. I stopped by with my teenager and toddler- we enjoyed ice cream there and brought some home for my husband. Location: In a plaza off of St Rd 7/441 in between a grocery store and barbershop. The ice cream shop is large enough to host kids birthday parties, it is clean, staff Friendly!! Ice cream: So many options to choose from and all made onsite. From the Mango, Passionfruit to the Cookies & Cream and Rum Raisin, the ones we tried were fresh, tasty and worth making this shop part of our go-to ice cream shops. Atmosphere: Chill vibes with Mexican music/videos playing. This is a must try!! read more

Another hidden gem! The mangonada was mangolicious !! I loved the layers of freshly chopped mango with the creamy mango sorbet topped with even more mango. The combination of flavors was so tasty with the tajin and Chamoy. They have so many different Mexican-style sweet and savory treats to choose from beyond their specialty items. The staff is very friendly here and even made us a sample of the strawberries with cream and ice cream flavors to try. It is clean and spacious inside with amazing decor inside. Definitely stop by here if you are looking for a unique and flavorful dessert experience! read more

I normally post pictures but this place is so amazing, we always forget to take pictures before we eat the ice creams! All the paletas and ice cream are hand made on site. Don Miguel is a master ice cream maker and he comes up with delicious, new flavors every week. We LOVE the cheese and guava paletas, the strawberries and cream, and the cholados. It's a slice of heaven This is a family run business where everyone greets you with a smile. It's a little on the pricey side, $4-$10 per ice cream, but comparable to other gourmet ice cream shops in the area. The ingredients are fresh and Don Miguel makes new batches each week. Nothing is better than enjoying a homemade ice cream with friends and family at this sweet little shop. Definitely a treat. Definitely a must! Next time, I'll remember to take pictures ;) read more

What a great spot for Mexican-style treats, crave-able snacks and delicious ice creams and drinks. We ended up getting coconut ice cream and the Tamarind Raspasos (drink/shaved ice/amazing). Our treats were amazing but there's so much more than ice cream here. There's there's sweet, there's spicy, there's salty, there's savory...and of course combinations of each! I can't wait to come back and try the DoriElotes... .and the Chicharrone Preparado... One last note: The service was amazing. Fast, friendly, helpful and fun! Definitely on our list of faves now! read more

This place was such a great find if you're craving Mexican desserts/ice cream. They have ice cream, paletas, and the like. The place is large, great place to bring a group if you want. And it's very decorated so it's a fun vibe all in all. Got the chips and the mangonada, both which were Delicious!!!! The only thing is that I think the prices are a little overpriced here. Total was about $17 which isn't bad/probably due to inflation but still a lot for these items. read more

We had two young children with us, and unfortunately, the service put a damper on what otherwise could have been a really enjoyable experience. One of our nephews had kicked his shoes off while sitting at the table. When he got up briefly to ask us something, our server came over and rather abruptly told us that he needed to have shoes on because they "drop glass all the time." We completely understand the safety concern and had no issue putting his shoes back on. It was simply the delivery that caught us off guard. From that point forward, our interactions with our server felt noticeably less welcoming and somewhat rushed, which made it difficult to fully relax and enjoy the evening. That being said, there were definitely positives. The food was delicious, the margaritas were amazing, and service itself was very quick and timely. I also really appreciated that the kids' meals came out almost immediately after we ordered. Anyone who has eaten dinner with young children knows how helpful that can be! The location is also fantastic, especially if you're staying near the beach, and the outdoor atmosphere made it a great setting for a casual family dinner. I wish the hospitality had matched the food because that really would have changed our entire experience. We weren't expecting anyone to bend the rules for us, and we absolutely understand the safety concern regarding our nephew's shoes. A little more warmth in how the situation was handled would have gone a long way. The food, drinks, location, and efficiency were all great, but unfortunately, the service left us feeling less than welcome.

Everything changed when our fajitas arrived. We ordered the Mixed Fajitas with beef steak, shrimp, and chicken. After we'd been eating for a while, my husband suddenly said the steak smelled and tasted spoiled. I realized I had noticed an odd smell when I ate a piece earlier, but I thought maybe it was just me. Then one of our friends said she thought it tasted bad too and had actually spit it out into a napkin. We immediately called the server over. He took the entire cast-iron fajita skillet back to the kitchen and said he would check with the chef. After a long wait, he came back and told us that both the chef and the prep cook insisted there was nothing wrong with the steak because it had been cut just yesterday. They claimed the "smell" was coming from the sauce. We asked them to bring us the sauce separately. We all tasted it, and the sauce had absolutely no bad smell at all. It clearly wasn't the source of the problem. Even then, they refused to acknowledge that anything was wrong with the steak, but they could remake the meat if we want. We then asked to speak with the manager. A young manager came over, we asked if any of them has tasted the beef steak left in the fajitas skillet, she said she believed us tasted and smelled it but she simply repeated the same explanation. She said they were a family-owned business that cared deeply about their reputation, so the meat had to be fresh. Her solution remained unchanged, she can bring us a remake of the meat. By that point, we had already finished most of the meal. What good would another plate do? We weren't asking for more food--we wanted them to acknowledge the issue and handle it appropriately. The ending was honestly unbelievable. They took just $6 off the entire bill, saying they had removed the cost of the steak from the fajitas. I've never experienced a resolution like that at any restaurant. The only conclusion I can come to is that this is a tourist area in Fort Lauderdale. They saw that we were visitors, figured we'd be leaving town soon, and simply didn't care about making things right because we'd probably never be back anyway. I haven't left reviews at Yelp for many years, but I'd like to share this experience. Hopefully it helps others decide whether they want to take the risk of dining here.

They had a $6 margarita all day special. I ordered the tamarind margarita with a tajin rim and it was refreshing. I also ordered chips and salsa and a steak taco and a pastor taco. The waiter gave me another type of salsa that was more spicier and it had a nice kick to it. Everything was delicious.

5 Stars If you're…read morelooking for a new Taco Tuesday spot, do yourself a favor and check out Epazote Mexican Restaurant. It's so good I've already gone two weeks in a row and I'm pretty sure it's about to become a regular thing for me. One of my favorite parts about this place is that the owners are actually the chefs in the kitchen, preparing all of the dishes themselves. They're incredibly friendly and even come out to chat with guests, which makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The barbacoa tacos are hands down my favorite. The meat is unbelievably tender literally falling apart and so juicy and flavorful. I also tried the campechano tacos (a mix of chorizo and steak) and they were sooo good. Perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. And let's talk about their chipotle salsa... I'm obsessed. I was putting it on everything on the table. It has the perfect smoky kick and just elevates every bite. The guac and chips were good, though they didn't quite stand out compared to how incredible the tacos were. But honestly, those tacos alone are reason enough to keep coming back. Safe to say I've found my new Taco Tuesday spot . Can't wait for my next visit!

We found this restaurant on Yelp. Of course we both got tacos! I got the short rib birria tacos that also came with a little bowl of beans and rice. My partner also got tacos (pork and beef), which came with a large bowl of beans and rice. My short rib birria tacos were so filling. I could only eat two of the three and had to bring the third one home along with her bowl of beans and rice. It was a lot of food. They were also very cheesy! The dipping sauce was good but it was different than I was used to. For drinks, I just ordered a beer and she ordered a crab cocktail. We didn't stay that long because we were both tired that day. For some reason. There is parking right out front. Of course you have to pay to park. It's a very intimate spot on. The staff is very friendly. He might be back before we leave.

I love this painting!

(With lots of tequilas, beers, and craft cocktails) We had a group of 7 on a Saturday night. We tried to get a reservation but after many calls; no one ever answered the phone. We decided to risk it because we were going pretty early, 6:00. We did have to attend an 8;00 show at the Broward Center which is just 1/2 a mile away. The place was pretty empty and we had no problem getting a few tables put together. There is a very extensive menu with lots of apps, a few salads, enchiladas, fajitas, and at least 15 taco varieties. I ordered a reposado margarita, which was fabulous, for $15. For food I went with the Trio of Tacos for $18. There was one chicken taco, one carnitas taco, and one gringo beef taco. The tortillas were small; but they were piled high! They were also tasty. One friend had the Citrus Mango Shrimp Tacos, $19. She said they were very good. Two friends had the Baja Fish Tacos on our servers recommendation, $19. One friend said they were just ok because they weren't crunchy at all and she didn't care for the cilantro slaw filling, the other friend thought they were delicious and savory! Yet another friend had the chicken nachos. She didn't care for them at all because they had a cheese sauce as opposed to authentic shredded cheese. Our waiters were attentive; but we did have a little delay with one of the fish taco orders. Everyone had food except for one diner and we had to flag down a server and wait quite a while for her to finally get her meal. Everyone on the staff was friendly though, and they didn't mind giving us separate checks. If you are looking for casual Mexican dining, or just want to have a few appetizers and drinks; Bandoleros is a good option that won't break the bank!

Caprichos Mexicanos is the real deal when it comes to ice cream and Mexican frozen yogurt. Honestly, I don't think I've had anything this good in a long time. The ice cream is top-notch creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor in every bite. You can taste the quality, and each flavor feels like a little piece of heaven. But the Mexican frozen yogurt? Absolutely next level. It's got that perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, and it's refreshing in a way that just hits differently. They've got so many creative toppings too stuff that you won't find anywhere else. The vibe here is chill, the service is great, and you can tell they really put love into their treats. If you're craving something sweet, Caprichos Mexicanos is where you wanna be. Can't recommend it enough! read more

I had an amazing experience at Caprichos Mexicanos Ice Cream! I tried the elote and a cookies and cream milkshake, and both were absolutely incredible--10000/10! Everything tasted fresh, rich, and full of flavor. The service was great, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. You can tell they really care about quality and making sure customers leave happy. I highly recommend Caprichos Mexicanos Ice Cream to anyone looking for delicious treats. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This was my first time here and I will definitely be coming back! The staff was so kind and everything was made fresh, from the sorbet to the chocobananas (chocolate covered banana). I got the cholado (3 shaved ices of choice and a mix of fruit with condensed milk) and it was delicious! My brother got the mangonada and it was the best I've ever had. Everything was very fresh and the portions were a great size. We'll be back! read more

The owner was a jaggernaut of conversation and gave a brief overview of the pastry laid out on the counter next to the fresh baked empanadas in the warmer display. The stainless steel expresso machine was eyeballing me and of course I can never resist a good cup of coffee. Purchased a Lavazza dark creamy blended Colada. The dining room resembled a quaint Euro style living room. Took a small seat under an American Flag and was served my Colada by the owner. It was presented in a mini black porcelain cup with the word "espresso" multi stamped in white lettering, straddling a matching saucer. Sipped my tasty strong Colada while my eyes gazed at the mass signages and memorabilia causing a slight visual overload. The gender assigned clean bathroom had wrap around raised foil design molding against the burgandy and burnt orange walls providing a strong Euro decor. Oddly there was an office chair in the bathroom stall confusing the flow of the intended theme. Interesting choice of name for the unique café. This was not a dull visit to say the least and needs to be blasted out on social media for others to enjoy - mic drop.

I deducted a star because when my husband went to pick up the food the staff member was really rude to him-- they were on their phone ignoring my husband and when they finally acknowledged him, they gave him a hard time about picking up the order. It was strange behavior to say the least. Hopefully that's not normal but that was our experience. The beef Classico was my favorite and for a dessert empanadas, I loved the Dulce de leche.

Small little location with only 2 parking spots and a drive through window available. Only downfall is with only one way around the location, you may get stuck in the drive through line waiting for another customer to get their order in the drive through line before you can exit so not logistically ideal design wise. But, order and enjoy your treat with 2 benches available in front of the order window. Nice and clean and a good menu offering great flavors. My son has the coconut gelato and I ordered the grape gelato. The custard itself had an unusual flavor itself like a hint of mint or something. It was nice and creamy otherwise. The Italian ice had great flavor and the coconut had coconut shavings but it was icy compared to a smoother watery Italian ice. Over the flavors were nice but not the best Italian ice as my preference would be a more smoother texture in the Italian ice compared to the icy texture.
