Cute restaurant with great service. Music is a bit loud though. As far as what I ordered, not a fan. I had the shrimp fried rice. It was just yellow veggie rice, with shrimp, very little sweet plantains and didn't have much flavor. read more

This would be my first and last time here. The food was delicious .. that probably it for me. The place is not as lit and fun as the other location in midtown. I got a hookah and it was 40 and only cash... is it worth it.. idk. The chairs needs to be updated.. I'm trying do hookah and relax in a comfy chair. The service was alright ... I was hoping for the same vibe as midtown but def was off.. read more

I've been at the Ft. Lauderdale location for dine in multiple times and I love it. However the last time I was at this location was easy 2-3 years ago so I decided to order take out since I was craving their food and they are close to home. I ordered2 rolls of sushi and an order of wings. Mar y Tierra roll and the sabroso roll weren't great. The avocado on both rolls were brown and it was just not tasty and small for the price. The chicken wings were also overcooked. I will try them again as dine in, but as take out they were a no for me. read more

Great original selection of rolls, friendly service , interesting club like atmosphere. I don't recommend if you like to sit somewhere quiet for dinner, and it's a little tight in the seating, but certainly if you want to go somewhere after the club or even somewhere to dance a bit for dinner. read more

First I will say yess the food is ridiculous amazing and drinks as well but I was sitting by the door and smell very bad, 2- my waitress she was nice to every man in there but I was a woman alone she would take her sweet time hardly talking to me and final the bill was 18% service fee on top that I have to give tip and it was just me in the table, that is just stealing people money and believe me I will spread the word to people as that make my dominican people look so bad and ladrones sorry but need it to be said. read more

Had fun at El Tiesto. The fusion concept alone made things interesting and we enjoyed the drinks as well. 3 of us really enjoyed some of the apps and sushi, not to mention the passion, fruit and Coco mojitos. We started with mofonguitos, 1 chicken and 1 pork, both of which were yummy, and the pulpo or octopus appetizer, which was really nicely cooked with veggies. We also had 2 rolls, the Nueva Yol roll and El Fuerte roll, and enjoyed both. The drinks were good too: passion fruit mojito and Coco margarita. Great overall. Service was good too. The only drawback was the seating. The tables with benches were super tight on space, so if you like to eat, you might be better off at a hightop, lol. read more

Definitely enjoyed this location as well . Stopped by a Sunday morning afternoon to enjoy a quick brunch . Enjoyed the delicious menu and drinks . I opted for a mimosa and boy it was delightful. Eats : Opted for the chicken and waffles Tostadas There is an option for additional drinks and hookah if interested . The food was extremely good . Seasoned well . A large selection . Booth like seats or table seats . Light music was playing which was good to have . I would absolutely be coming back to try their Bento box options and sushi which looked amazing . I was extremely full so unable to try anything else on this visits read more

The food here was good really enjoyed all the things we ordered. The highlight had to be the chicken skewers. It came with the chimichurri sauce that was kinda sweet and savory; and the chicken was juicy. The rolls we had was the "I'm Horny Roll and the El Fuerte Roll" both were good and the lowlight probably would be the chicken wings we got it was just basic. Service was pretty good too our sever was cool attentive and also checked up on us occasionally. The Ambiance is what you're looking for if your into instagram. You might be wondering why if all that was fine why I gave it the score I gave here's why. When we came we were told that it was during happy hour. And that the flavored mojitos were part of the happy hour deal. When we got our bill they charged us regular price for the four drinks we ordered. And was told that they weren't able to change the price. And only offered a 15% discount on the total bill. Yeah that kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

7908 Pines Blvd Pembroke Pines,fl Nov 5, 2023 2pm 2person Came here for lunch and it was a very cute place with flowers on the ceiling and umbrellas . There was a DJ handling the music and a tiny bar . We ordered the shrimp mofongo and I had the veggie roll . Our food had a nice presentation and tasted good. This restaurant had Dominican food and Japanese food all very interesting . . They do add gratuity to your bill, lunch was $40. Looking forward to trying other items on menu. read more

This was such a great place to have my birthday dinner at. The food was phenomenal!! First I had the El Fuerte- BOMB as f. It was made to perfection and so yummy. It's paired with a spicy red sauce and soy sauce. Next I had the Tiesto E'Pescao. WOW. Literally the best texture and mix of flavors. I had the itis and def had to take a nap after that meal. The service was nice. They had the DJ shout me out and they brought out a happy birthday sign with some tres leche! Tres leche is literally my favorite it was delicious. The ambiance was also popping. Good for large groups and great for your typical bad gyal pictures. I can't wait to go back just so I can try more on the menu. Thanks again!! read more

Menu has variety, happy hour as well as daily special Sushi & Mofongo is great and the few times I've visited it has always come out quickly. Ambiance is lively and they always got good Reggaeton or Dominican music playing. If you're looking for a hookah lounge with good eats and drinks I would definitely recommend going. Just know this is a smaller DOMINICAN spot... so music is going to be loud and it will get packed but this is what you signed up for. I seen too many negative reviews about loud music or service etc. If that makes you uncomfortable then I wouldn't go but just know you're missing out some great sushi fusion. Things to know before hand is that they already put at 15% service charge for gratuity as well as a credit card charge of 2.5%. read more

Berenice was very attentive and provided great customer service. We enjoyed the happy hour food and drinks. Also enjoyed the music!

I usually go to their Miami location, but the Pines location is just as good! I absolutely love all of their Dominican sushi rolls. As a non-seafood lover, I genuinely enjoy the creativity! Their chicken mofongo is also incredible. The white sauce they put is to die for! This restaurant is always a vibe with great music and energy from their staff. read more

Kathy our waitress was so cool - love her. Pretty small in there, but we managed to get a table. Drinks are strong, beautifully presented and delicious. Some of the best drinks I've had with a dinner in awhile. I got the El Barrio roll which was really good and my date got a veggie roll since he's vegetarian. They didn't have many options for that. I really loved their mofongo specifically the Garlic sauce it was so flavorful. Great dining experience. I'd definitely return read more

Food was mediocre. The fried sushi roll tasted almost chewy. Surprisingly the best thing about this place was the aesthetics of the restaurant. It had a nice neon sign and the servers were nice enough. It was kind of hard to reach them sometimes as the place was clearly understaffed. Extremely pricey for the portion size and I wouldn't know if I could recommend going here again. Family of 3 felt hungry after spending 162 dollars. read more

Was very excited to try this place as it has been on my radar for the past few months. Walking in the restaurant is decorated beautifully with Japanese inspired artwork and a dJ playing live music that makes you want to get up and dance. El fuerte sushi had fried chicken and topped with steak and plantains that were so yummy. It left me wanting to order more. We also ordered el mofongo and churrasco the only this is i wish the mofongo had more flavor like garlic , salt and pepper maybe a bit of sazón which it was lacking. Overall would come again for the Japanese Dominican fusion meals but hope they add more adventurous items to the menu. read more

This location is a lot smaller than the one on Biscayne, but we were in the area and still decided to check it out. We were with the baby, so we decided to sit outside because inside there was hookah and really loud music, but if we weren't with the baby that wouldn't have bothered us at all. Total vibe in there. Our server was really nice and attentive, and our mofongo was very tasty. Would highly recommend. One tip I would give, is if you've seen the advertisements for 2 for 1 mofongos on Friday....they are a small portion, do not mistake it for getting two full size mofongos. It's the size of what would be 1 mofongo split in two (you will stay hungry). Nonetheless, they are delicious and totally worth it :) read more

This place is pretty cool. The food is a mix between Dominican food and Japanese food. We went on a Wednesday and they have 2 for 1 sushi rolls. Here is what we got: *the Teke-teke roll: absolutely delicious. The ropa vieja on top was seasoned to perfection. *Nueva Yol: excellent roll! *The chofan rice: this was to die for. It is a sort of Chinese rice with sweet plantains. We got the chicken and rice mix. *the Hollywood roll: this roll was delicious too but the teke teke was better. *Ay Vea roll: I was personally not a fan but my husband ate two of these rolls and loved it. The main thing is to come with an open mind. When you hear sushi and see the presentation you won't expect the actual taste of the rolls because they look so traditional but they have an amazing twist. read more

Oh, El Tiesto! It's definitely a love hate relationship I have with this place. Mostly love though! If you're into Spanish music, dominican reggaeton and hookah then it's a party whenever you come here! Food can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One of my favorites was the conconcito. Mofongo on Fridays is BOGO and good servings. Happy hour us best time to go for drinks and hookah. One of the things that bugs me is how they charge upfront for the hookah, new or repack they charge everytime and on all bills they include a 15% service charge. Sometimes the counter gets so full of used cups that it looks gross! Drinks are hit or miss and can take some time. BUTTTTT.... still I come here because of the location, the great vibe, and the music. If you're with a fun group and can just look past slow service and come to enjoy the music and company you're good! read more

In honor of Latin history month I have to shout this Dominican spot out! Gaby was our server she was so sweet and attentive. We were a party of 8 and they made room for us, we are so GLAD they did. The tapas that we had were wings, edamame, gyoza the flavor of every thing we ordered was ON POINT!. The sushi rolls were phenomenal. All the food was hot, super fresh and packed with flavor. Straight 10 out of 10! Hurry in you don't want to pass this one up. read more

Either this isn't the place to come to for lunch or don't make a take out order as soon as they open. It's one of the other. I learned of this restaurant (the Biscayne location) because of a TikTok I saw about the restaurant. I did a yelp search to preview the menu and was excited to see that there was a Pembroke Pines location. I initially wanted some yesterday but the restaurant was closed. I pushed my lunch back since the restaurant opened at 2pm so that I can order. Calling and ordering was a breeze and the lady that assisted me was very nice. The total ended up being $18 even though the menu online says $14. Apparently the actually price for the Mar y Tierra roll is $15 and they have 2.60% charge added to each bill. I've paid more for sushi so it wasn't a big deal but correct information posted would be helpful. So the first disappointment was that my roll was not hot at all. It was lukewarm if that. For those of you that know, the Mar y Tierra is shrimp tempura, queso Frita, Madura, guacamole, steak, chips and eel sauce. However on my roll I did not have queso frita, I did Not receive chips and my quacamole was brown which I ended up scraping off. So with everything that was on/supposed to be on this roll, it should have been warm or hot considering the shrimp tempura alone. Before I completely write this business off, I will check out the Biscayne location as their food looked a bit more fresh. read more

Food is Lame and Overpriced!!!! Service is just okay and they add gratuity automatically in your bill even for Togo orders. Oh! Be aware that they are very sneaky and they put extra charges in your bill so please read very well before pay and you must pay in cash only because when you use card they add $2 fee for using your card, this place is a big disappointment. Avoid this restaurant at all costs, red flag read more

Went to try it out last night and the service was horrible and they weren't even busy. The hookahs are way over priced, the food was ok at best. Once we finished the meal and I asked for the check the waitress flashes the handheld machine at me and says the total but at no point shows me an itemized bill then takes my card and says she'll be back with the receipt. Once I have the receipt in hand it was not itemized and then they charge me a 15% service fee for using a credit card to pay who does that! You can definitely to some of the other restaurants around there for better service and way better food than this place. read more

Great spot. Latin music on blast. Great fusions. I was shocked by the taste. I'll post the pic. It was chicken and steak sushi roll it was bangin. From the door someone greeted us. Had a seat right in front booth. It felt like a VIP moment. Lol. I was seat dancing and eating at the same time. That's a work out. lol. I do recommend this spot as a Must go to if in the area. read more

This place is like a party. You walk in it's a party, you sit down it's a party, you order your food, it's a party. Service was great, food was great and the ambiance overall is just upbeat and fun times. It was a Thursday night and the place was slammed. Everyone was celebrating something. Music was blasting and the people were acting like Sunday Funday on a weekday; it was amazing. Not sure if they take reservations, but you may wanna call ahead and check because the place is small and every Dominican in Pines was there. I had a sushi roll that is very "un"dominican of me to order but it had sweet plantains so that latin flavor was there and I loved it. I'm a huge fan of sweet and savory. My friend ordered some crazy platter and that had all the good the Dominicans come for. read more

After having this place bookmarked for years and even with El otro Tiesto opening 3 minutes away from my house I had to try this one first and I'm so glad I did. Being Dominican I'm so picky when it comes to Dominican restaurants because I guess I know what it's suppose to taste like and look like and El Tiesto cafe gives you a more modern version of all of our favorites. We went for lunch and we were greeted by the waiter and sat wherever we'd like. He brought us the menus and water right away. We say let's start off with an appetizer so we got Picadera El Campo - Tostones, Yuca frita, salami, longaniza, pollo & queso. This was more than enough for the 2 of us. The food was great but the presentation.. OMG I love it. I'm a sucker for visuals and that got my attention. It was so much food we couldn't even order an entree because we were so full from the picadera We also ordered sangrias - Mango & Passion fruit. He made them with love because they were delicious. The passion fruit one was my favorite. Kudos to the waiter because he held it down for majority of our visit by himself. He took orders, greeted and made the drinks. Happy I got to try this place and now I have an excuse to come back & try something else. read more

My daughter and I ordered delivery...I had the mofungo with pork chunks & mini tequeno's. The mofungo was a little dry even after putting the garlic oil on it. The pork was tough and very very dry. Despite being really dry the food did have flavor (saving grace). The mini tequeno's were delicious and helped saved this order. Maybe the fact that it was delivered had an affect on the food being dry. With that being said I may have to try it at the actual restaurant and give it another try. read more
