There was a large party that seemed to cause major delays, and we ended up waiting about an hour for our food. Thankfully, the drinks were strong, so we had a great time catching up while we waited. We started with the guacamole, which was incredibly fresh and addictive. I ordered the Fresh Herbs Swai, and although they were out of the coconut rice, the dish was still flavorful and delicious. We also tried the Cuban 4 Leches cake and flan, and both were pretty good. Despite the long wait, this remains one of my favorite low-key spots. The food never disappoints, and I plan to return whenever I'm in the area.

We started with the chips and salsa, which was very good. The red salsa definitely had some spice to it, but it was so flavorful. I ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was really good with plenty of chicken and melted cheese in every bite. We ended the meal with the tres leches cake, and I'm glad we did. It was soft, creamy, and not overly sweet, which made it the perfect dessert. Really enjoyed everything and I'll definitely be back.

Native Angeleno on the East Coast…read more The happy hour margaritas were excellent--balanced, refreshing, and exactly what you hope for after a South Florida afternoon. The nachos arrived with enough confidence to challenge two healthy appetites (I'm 6'6", 250; my dining companion is 5'10", 210), and we barely made a dent. Generous portions are one thing; generous portions done well are another. Only then did the comparisons begin. I came into El Camino with the familiar Los Angeles calibration around Mexican cuisine--not superiority, just perspective. In Los Angeles, Mexican food is woven into the city's identity: Guelaguetza's mole, El Cholo's century-old traditions, Sonoratown's precision, even the old Red Onion era of Cal-Mex comfort that defined a different generation of neighborhood dining. El Camino doesn't try to recreate Los Angeles. It embraces its own South Florida rhythm, and that's precisely why it succeeds. Service was polished without ever feeling rehearsed. Nick, Dustin, and Arnav made hospitality look easy, while Alex--Wyatt Earp behind the bar--added the final flourish with expertly crafted cocktails. The atmosphere may be the restaurant's greatest strength. Lively without feeling chaotic, energetic without becoming overwhelming, it's the kind of place where conversations linger and people genuinely seem happy to be there. Different coast. Different rhythm. Same satisfaction.

I really enjoy this Mexican spot--it's giving mom and pops in the best way! The parking situation…read morecan be a bit tricky since there aren't many spots, and it does get pretty busy during peak hours (which honestly just confirms the food is worth it). It's a small, no-frills place with a walk-up stand vibe. There's no indoor seating, just a few outdoor tables, but I usually grab my food to go. I stick to my favorites when I come here: tamales rojos and tamales verdes--both are so good and clearly made fresh. I also always get the taco platter, which comes with rice and beans. The rice is flavorful, and I usually mix up the tacos--chorizo, al pastor, and carne asada are my go-to combo. And the salsa verde? I could honestly drink it. It's that good. Overall, this is an amazing little Mexican spot with consistently fresh, made-to-order food. Definitely a neighborhood gem.

It was okay…read more The best part: The DJ Lona's is part of the Westin and sits right across from Ft Lauderdale beach. You can valet your car for free for 3 hours. We sat outside and watched people jogging up the A1A and frolicking on the beach. It's a good spot to people watch. Once we were seated, we were instructed on where the food was located, and our drink orders were taken. The worst part: There are NO scrambled eggs in a heated pan to serve yourself. That leaves you with no choice but to wait in the egg line where the chef makes your eggs for you. Boooo! What if I just wanted plain ole eggs? Or, I don't feel like waiting 30 minutes in a line to have an omelet made? It's brunch, but it really serves more of a lunch menu. It is a Mexican restaurant, so that's what you'll find. There's a make-your-own taco bar, ceviche, chips & guac, etc. But I'm a breakfast person. The waffle strips tasted store-bought (and came with syrup in a little jam container), and the mac & cheese was an afterthought. Again, probably Kraft. Luckily, once you drink enough mimosas, nothing else matters. So yeah, that's where the DJ saves the day. They also had endless margaritas, but them joints tasted TART. Those little cheesecake squares were pretty good. Otherwise, I don't think I'd come back for this brunch.

(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!

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!
