    Super Baleada
    Melan

    Manejamos desde Palm beach para probar las baleadas del Portal Maya. QUE RICO CHICOS!!! Lo recomiendo 100%. Están súper grandes y sabrosos

    AVOID THIS PLACE ! I ordered 3 different plates Took waitress 40 minutes to say they didn't have what I ordered twice.

    AVOID THIS PLACE!! Service and lack of organization is terrible. Food take way too long! And the customer service sucks. I ordered 3 plates of food and 37 minutes later waitress walk to the table to say the 1 thing I ordered they didn't have. 45 minutes later I still don't have any of my plates of food. Until I asked her she rushed in the kitchen to try to make food. Sat here an hour with no food. Best suggestion: EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

    Stopped by this little Honduran gem on a weekday close to closing time. I always like to try something from other cultures so I asked of course for a recommendation and our server offered us a sample of the Horchata. It's a natural juice of several different kinds of nuts and grains. Very yummy! The inside was so lovely and inviting. The decor truly showed heart and soul into the place. Located in the Ward City brick building off of Dixie highway. Street parking available, outdoor & indoor seating. El Portal Mayo has 2 locations: Johnson street in Hollywood and Pompano Beach We ordered to share the Super Baleada and another dish I forgot the name of. (Sorry!) The Super Baleada was flavorful to include Carne, chorizo, aguacate and huevo. Overall pleasant experience and will definitely come back.

    I saw the review of this place on my yelp feed. Yes, just ONE review and I was intrigued. Here was a local restaurant not that far away that I'd never heard about. And the food looked interesting. So I messaged the restaurant and asked for a copy of the menu. He sent only one page of it, but that was enough. We came for lunch and had a "knock your socks off" meal. The restaurant is north of Atlantic Boulevard and just east of Dixie Highway and the tracks. It's on the corner of the building. There are parking spaces in front. There are a few small tables outside and several tables and counter seats inside. The restaurant itself is not very big at all. We thought we'd share their fried seafood dish (from the "sharing" section of their menu) , but it contained tilapia. We switched to the whole fried snapper after Andrea showed us the fish and told us the cost. We are so glad we did! The fish (pargo) came with our choice of three sides. We chose white rice, regular red beans (not refried) and sweet plantains. All the sides were very good, but the whole fish was fantastic! My husband added some of their hot sauce to the fish, but I just added a touch of salt and a squeeze of lime. OMG! If you are a fish lover, and know how to navigate a whole fried fish, then this is for you. All that was left were a pile of bones and the spine. They also have a number of inexpensive lunch specials. Some items are ready made and can be dished up immediately (they had ropa vieja and 2 other items). There are tacos, arepas, pupusas, tamales, baleadas, as well as soups, too, that are quite reasonable. Although they are a Honduran restaurant, many other Latin country styles of food are represented. Oh, and they even serve breakfast. Some knowledge of Spanish is helpful, but you will be fine without it. Wish we had had more room to try a dessert -- they have two types of flan and a tres leches..., but maybe next time.

    Passion Fruit (minus a couple sips)

    My wife spotted this place that had only one review posted, but enough to entice both of us out for a lunch adventure. Close by, we found the restaurant occupying the Northwest corner of the Ward City building. Parking available on the street directly in front. They offer inside and outside seating and as we observed, plenty of take out pickups. So many lunch specials and side dishes to choose from, it took a while to finally decide on a dish we could share... Pargo, a whole fried snapper (approximately 2 lbs), that came with 3 sides; we chose rice, red beans and maduros (sweet fried plantains). I was excited to discover and ordered fresh Passion Fruit juice as my beverage. Having negotiated a whole fried fish several times, we only left the skeleton and skull on our plate...delicious! I tried and enjoyed some of their house made hot sauce on my rice and beans. If you are seeking Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner, this is the place for delicious meals and friendly helpful service!

    I went with a group of people I work with and we ordered before hand so that when we walk in, our food gets brought out to us. They were very nice but only speak Spanish so fyi. The food was great but they did add a little too much seasoning to my steak but everyone else LOVED their food so definitely worth a try.

    Arrived for an early date night dinner around 6:15pm. FYI…read more- It is valet only...no charge gratuities only...at the end of your visit they hand you your keys and your walk to your own car...at least that is how it went for us. We had open table reservations so we were seated right away...the hostess was was very friendly as were our servers...we started with one guy but then we had another lady soon after. We ordered drinks to start...Pinot grigio for me and Corona for the hubby. We looked over the menu a bit and started off with 3 shareables..the eggplant with honey, shisito peppers and octopus gallega...The eggplant with honey was an interesting dish (in a good way) and very tasty...they peppers were good as well but my husband wasn't a fan of the octopus gallega. For the 2nd round, we ordered another round of drinks and then the pan con tumaca, manchego croquettes and octopus in garlic sauce. I loved the toast with tomato "jam" as well as the manchego croquettes...I would re-order both of these. My husband wasn't a fan of the octopus in garlic sauce as he felt it was a bit too salty. He also ordered another dish, the seafood salpicon and this dish he really loved! For dessert we opted for the crema catalana...similar to a creme brulee...it was good...I also had a latte which was a nice accomplishment to the dessert. After dinner we headed to their Hidden Speakeasy (behind the pantro door). In there we each had another drink to end the evening. They do have a food menu in there which was different from the restaurant. It would be fun to just come with a group of friends and chill for a while. All in all, a tasty meal and a fun date night!

There was one other table of patrons when we arrived, but we were the only people in the place until we left. The eatery offers lunch specials, but we went specifically for the half price paella (on Tuesdays and Wednesdays). We started with the pulpo ajillo appetizer, which is octopus in a red wine and garlic sauce. It was tender and delicious. For our paella we ordered the mixto version with chicken, shrimp, scallops, mussels, octopus, and squid. The squid melted in your mouth. The scallops were divine (even though they were the small bay scallops). Everything else in the paella was good, but I thought the rice was a bit too moist. Traditional paella should feature rice that is firm and not sticky. I even like the crispy crust that can form at the bottom. This paella did not feature either. We shared a creme brulee for dessert. It had thick caramelized sugar on top but the custard was very milky and not thick and creamy enough. Our meal for 1 appetizer, 1 paella at half price, 1 dessert, tax, a surcharge for using a credit card, and tip was $74. Service was impeccable.

    Cafe Seville is one of those places I always forget about, and every time I go back I wonder why…read more It's such an underrated spot. This visit started with the shrimp and scallops appetizer, and the sauce was so good I was soaking up every last drop with the bread. The halibut with artichokes, mushrooms, and leeks in a lemon wine sauce had flavor for days. Sure, it's in a strip mall and isn't much to look at, but don't let that fool you. This place is all about the food. I def need to make it back more often.

    We visited Cafe Seville on my birthday, July 18, after it was recommended to us by the owner, and…read moreI'm so glad we gave it a try. We're always on the hunt for great seafood, and this Spanish restaurant exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. The white tablecloths, candlelit tables, and the daily specials written on a rolling whiteboard gave it a warm, classic feel. The owner personally greeted us and escorted us to our table, making us feel right at home. Our waiter was absolutely amazing--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. The drinks were perfect, and they brought out a small loaf of sourdough bread with butter that had the crispiest, crunchiest crust I've ever had. It was absolutely delicious. We started with the garlic shrimp appetizer, which was excellent. For our entrée, we ordered the Paella loaded with seafood, chicken, and chorizo. Chef's kiss! Every bite was packed with flavor, and it was one of the best paellas we've ever had. What really made the evening special was the atmosphere. It felt like one big family--everyone was talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves. It was warm, welcoming, and unlike any restaurant experience we've had in a long time. To top it all off, they surprised me with a slice of tres leches cake for my birthday and the staff sang "Happy Birthday." It was such a thoughtful touch and made the night even more memorable. If you're looking for incredible Spanish food, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family, Cafe Seville is a must-visit. We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back!

    What a cute hidden gem ! I have passed by this restaurant countless times & always wondered about…read moreit. It's 5 mins from my home. Took over 10 years but better late then never! Finally went today!! What have I been missing all these years. Taco Tuesday $3 tacos if you want shrimp or fish $4. Margaritas - looked like a fish bowl $5 ! Delicious !!! Brissa our waitress was wonderful very attentive, friendly & welcoming. There was an older gentlemen - I didn't get his name. He was extremely nice, kept coming by to see if all was okay & collected our empty margarita glasses. We ordered the carnitas, chorizo & steak tacos. 6 in total & filling. All delicious especially that they make their own tortillas! Now let's discuss the salsa. Can you make the salsa bowls slightly bigger. Or less chips because the salsa finishes & you have plenty of chips leftover. I didn't want to keep paying for salsa just to finish the chips. I will definitely be visiting again and bringing some friends!

    I saw this place on social media and I'm assuming the people that did the videos are family members…read moreor friends of the owners definitely overrated. Some of the food is over season and some is bland. The fried plantains felt like crackers and for my money I think I'd rather go somewhere else.
