    Steak and fries

    Please don't waste your time and money on this place. I have no idea how they acquired the 5 stars reviews. My fish was undercooked, service bad and ambiance was sad. There were no customers. This place is dirty and needs to be inspected ASAP.

    Churrasco steak at the bar
    Ricardo J.

    I walked in on a Saturday around 4pm and the place was pretty empty, one table of 8 ppl and one table of 2. There was one guy working in the front, he was pretty nice and attentive. I ordered churrasco, rice and beans, and sweet plantains. The steak was very well seasoned, this place is pretty consistent with the hood flavor that they provide. The rice and beans were good but nothing to write home about. The margarita was only ok, but I understand this is not a drinking spot so I'm ok with that.

    Closed on Mondays

    Great food! There were 6 of us and we were all happy with our meals. The sign says they are family owned.

    Shrimp street tacos with two corn tortillas.

    Nice little place where attention is completely to the guest. Well priced meals, didn't see any lunch specials, but they do have happy hour. One menu is Cuban food and the of the menu is Mexican food. My suggestion would be street taco should have two corn tortilla. I asked for extra tortillas because my food was falling out of a single tortilla. More variety of hot sauce would be wonderful.

    Croquettes
    Brian R.

    In this humble plaza off the freeway in Ft Lauderdale is this fantastic place where the quality of the food will surprise and amaze you. The croquettes are dense, moist and flavorful and the chicken was amazing! My burrito was the kind of burrito you crave when you haven't had one in a while. Talked to the owner for a good while about sports and why we were visiting area. Problem with a place you fall in love with is not being able to give regular business to them on account of you be2500 miles away! I'd recommend to anyone living in the area! I think they thrive on "regulars" so if you're local, support this great small business with a cozy touch, like visiting someone's home. Or if you're visiting or to the folks flying out of FLL like us, I'd encourage you to stop by! You won't be disappointed!!

    To be clear, the one-star rating I am giving Don Lolo's is for the aesthetic...it's ok on the inside. However, we are to rate food and service, and on both counts, Don Lolo's fails. First, I ordered a lentil soup that unapologetically never arrived - the waitress was upset that I asked after my missing soup....smh! Now, this spot is listed as a "Mexican/Cuban restaurant. Well, nope, that's not what it is at all. It's more a Mexican restaurant with some mexicanized Cuban sides. Like what Cuban restaurant does not serve arroz moro, and replaces it with Mexican yellow rice. Next, I ordered ropa vieja, or shredded beef...the beef was there but not the shred, at all. I got huge chunks of meet drowned in sauce, begging to be shredded. There is nothing worse than a sloppy restaurant, and Don Lolo's is exactly that, SLOPPY!!! PS: Though the prices are reasonable, I recommend spending your money elsewhere. Stay away from Don Nono's!!!!!

    Palomilla Steak

    It was shortly after 8 pm and we were on our way to try Señor Cafe, arrived at 8:30 but they close the kitchen 30 minutes before their 9 PM closing time. Back to the drawing board.... Don Lolo's was open until 10 pm, and only 7 minutes away. What a treat! There was one other table seated, seems to be a trend at late hours. The lighting was dimmer but comfortable, and overall very clean. Their food was so fresh!! I ordered the Palomilla steak, it was marinated and cooked to perfection. The Salsa did not taste like it came from a jar. The black beans and plantains were amazing. The rice was perfectly cooked and fluffy. I could easily become a regular if I lived locally. I still can't wait to try Señor cafe...stay tuned.

    Palomilla Steak and Margarita
    Maria R.

    We very much enjoyed our visit to Don Lolo's. The service was great and very accommodating to our requests. The food was excellent and the Margarita's were delicious. Will visit again when we are in the in the neighborhood.

    We were extremely disappointed with my experience at Playa Restaurant & Beach Club…read more We were visiting from Los Angeles and were looking forward to enjoying a meal while watching the World Cup match. We arrived around 4:40 p.m. and were immediately told by the host that the kitchen would be closing at 5:00 p.m., leaving us only about 15 minutes to place our order. This information was not disclosed on the hotel's website, and had we known in advance, we would have planned our visit differently. What made the experience even more disappointing was the seating decision. Although the restaurant had many, MANY empty tables with clear views of the World Cup match, we were seated in an unpleasant corner where the game could not be seen. There was no apparent reason to place us in such an undesirable location when there were plenty of available seats that would have allowed us to enjoy the event we came for. Rather than feel rushed and unwelcome, we decided to leave and did not stay to dine. After traveling from Los Angeles and choosing this restaurant as part of our Florida visit, this experience was very disappointing. Good customer service requires common sense, hospitality, and making guests feel valued. I hope the management takes a closer look at the level of service being provided and considers hiring and training qualified staff who understand the importance of treating customers with respect and creating a welcoming experience.

    The burgers lack flavor and it looks like a Burger King employee assembled it. Worth $9-10 at best,…read morenot $28. Service was good.

    I recently called in an order for the Taco Tuesdaze special from my local Tijuana Flats. I ordered…read moremy usual, two steak tacos on hard shells with all the toppings and a root beer soda. Unfortunately, this time the meal didn't quite meet the "Tijuana taco love" standard I've come to expect. Each taco had just a single jalapeño, the filling was noticeably skimpy, and one of the shells was already broken when I opened the container. I didn't return to the store to address the issue because I was headed to work, but it was a bit of a letdown since I frequent this location often and have never had a problem before. That said, I do want to note that both the team member who took my order over the phone and the one who helped me at pickup were very pleasant and professional. This one-off experience won't stop me from coming back--I just hope the next visit feels more like the Tijuana Flats I know and love.

If you go for the tacos or other dishes, they give you the option to go more authentic Mexican or the Americanized version.

    When the words taco shop and all-natural can be put together to describe a restaurant... GOOOO!!…read more Lime Fresh combines fresh ingredients, quick service, and flavor explosions!! Walking distance from our hotel in Dania Beach, Lime Fresh draws you in with the name and colorful logo! But one look at the menu and mission of this place will make you start to salivate. We tried the Street Corn Appetizer, Queso and Chips, Birria Tacos, and a Carne Asada Taco. They take your order at the front counter and then give you a number to go grab a table with. That's when you notice the bar full of toppings!!! The bottle display of Tabanero and the bowls of salsa... with of course LIMES!! We grabbed some Peach Bourbon Tabanero and Suave Salsa. Let me just start with... everything was delicious and soooo flavorful. You can taste how fresh everything is prepared and just as ingredients. They brought out the items as they were ready and we grubbed out!! The street corn is a nice pop of fresh veggies and seasonings - pro tip - you dont need to order extra chips if you can somehow wait for your main entree to come - both tacos came with chips. The queso was a little bland... but introducing the bar of extras - we added some peach bourbon Tabanero and fresh lime... ZINNNNNGGGG!!! Both tacos were phenomenal!! The carne asada was succulent. We decide to go 305 Style - which wraps in both a hard and soft shell taco! The birria came with the dipppp and lacked nothing in flavor!!

I got an appetizer and a beer to occupy myself as I waited on my food and honestly the only thing I enjoyed was the beer. The chips were stale, and the queso was cold. It only went downhill from there (like an upside down world). They got everything wrong and my whole meal seemed backwards, from the rice in the burrito being undercooked and hard (almost inedible) to the hard shell tacos from my shrimp tacos not being hard at all, instead they were super soft and soggy. Plus they even got one of my orders wrong. My search for a great shrimp taco spot continues.

    Although it wasn't a Tuesday I was craving Mexican food; it is one of those dishes that always hits…read morethe spot..heck burrito size not just tacos. I'd been working late during the pre Christmas rush and was starving. This location being on the way home, I stopped by. For one, I get it that it was close to closing time, but I didn't get "that chant" (Ok, "Welcome to Moe's" ) Whether the urban legend of the free meal if they don't say this is true, I guess J won't know. All the burrito names are different from those creative ones back in the early aughts, and mine was fully loaded with chicken and well flavored (hence not going lower than 3 stars) I really did like that their pico is nicely tart and the tortilla soft. I came in around 830 and closing time was listed at 9. I had to get my order to go and eat it in my car. Burritos are generally messy, and I wasn't offered utensils so I ended up having to eat with my hands as I wasn't even offered utensils. They were out of tortilla chips and though I asked for a soda cup, most of the ones in the machine were already out. I was essentially charged for a water cup. Thus its place is in "Placeholders" and "Issa K"..

We went to Moe's on a weeknight for dinner and were greeted warmly and placed our orders at the counter with a minimal wait. All entrees were mostly under $10 each, with a couple being less than $15. All include a side of chips. I ordered the Stack, on the higher end of the price range and the portion size was huge! I could only eat half of it and took the rest home. You personalize your dish accordingly with add ins such as veggies, rice, etc., so add as much or little as you like, it's all the same price. They have a very efficient line operation so it moves the line of customers pretty quick, but not making you feel rushed either. You can also add queso at the end, prices start around $2 or so for a small size. You have to get the queso though, it's a must! We look forward to coming back regularly, both service and food is great, and you can't beat the price!
