    Whole Fried Snapper
    Reena G.

    This place was suggested and we finally went. To start off we had the bean dip. It contained melees cheese, beans, and home made pork chorizo. It had to be one of the best dips I've had especially a bean dip. It was so cheesy and flavorful. We ordered the Shrimp Basket plantain and whole snapper. The shrimp basket plantain was flavorful really well but the plantain was a little too hard to crunch into. The snapper was very flavorful though. We will definitely be back.

    Service 10/10 Food 100/10 Met a friend here, and I'm so glad I did. The food was the best Honduran + Mexican I've ever had. The mixed fajitas were made with beef, chicken and shrimp. It tasted like it had been marinated with LOVE. The beef was so tender, the chicken, so tender, the veggies were chunky and flavorful. I could eat this every day. There are different flavored Margarita mixes, I would order with a floater next time. There will be a next time, because the food was worth sitting in Spring Break traffic on A1A. It's really just that good.

    Mixed Fajitas

    A few weeks ago we visited Las Olas beach in Fort Lauderdale before going to the airport late in the evening. We decided to try some Cuban, Latin foods and we found this restaurant in a walking distance from the beach. It's actually on the Las Olas Blvd. The restaurant is in a small complex with other restaurants so it's hard to find a parking space if you're driving. The restaurant is very nice and clean, the servers are quite attentive and pleasant. We liked the lunch menu prices but only for M-F and it was Sat. So the prices are 40% higher. Anyhow, my wife ordered Mexican steak plate and I had the mixed fajitas plate. The server brought over some magarita samplers which are very cute although we can't taste much. The plates came out sizzling hot and smell wonderful. The steak sauce was very tasty, and the fajitas sauce was excellent too. But both of the steak plates are quite chewy and tough. My chicken and shrimps were fine. The vegetables cooked to perfection. It was quite a full meal for both of us before a long flight back to the Bay. If we decided to move to Florida beach one of these days, we would go here for lunch while laying on the beautiful Las Olas beach. The prices are reasonable compared to CA. Not sure if we get beef again.

    Mojito Short Ribs

    Stumbled across this restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. It's a has a cute vibes with pink flowers. Staff was attentive. I order the mojito ribs, Churrasco, and the blackberry margarita. The ribs were so amazing! I had to get a second order so much flavorful! The steak was ok, it lacked seasoning. The blackberry margarita was terrible. Very sour. Id def come back for those ribs.

    La Costa Olas is a quaint little restaurant serving Mexican Latin Cuisine. This time we had the Queso and Nachos. They were both excellent. The frozen drinks were made individually instead of machine made. We had Mango Margaritas that were excellent. Our server was great.

    Chicken flautas before I scraped off the cilantro that I asked to have withheld.

    We had dinner at La Costa Olas while on a trip to Fort Lauderdale. We stumbled upon the restaurant while wandering around and took a chance based on the extensive menu and welcoming staff. I had chicken flautas, and despite my request to have them made without cilantro, as the picture indicates, that is not how they arrived. Not wanting to send them back, I scrapped off the entire top layer and asked the waitress to just bring me a small side of sour cream. Overall, the flautas were delicious, not dry but nice and tender with a crunchy shell. The side of guacamole was flavorful but not too spicy. My husband ordered the Coconut Beef Ribs, based on the menu description... "ROATAN'S COCONUT BEEF RIBS: From the Abuela's Rancho we got the beef short ribs in her incredible coconut ginger sauce. Cooked 'till meat comes out of the bone. It melts in your mouth!" ...Unfortunately, while the sauce was tasty, the beef rib turned out to be so dry and tough that it was inedible. The quality issue was reported to three separate servers, but the complaint went unheeded. There was no offer to replace the entrée with something else or to remove the item from our bill. Sadly, this experience really spoiled our impression of La Costa Olas.

    Amazing Carne Asada

    Top of the list, must stop, amazing food! If you are within a 20 mile radius, this is your dinner, no questions needed. Every plate we ordered was delicious, every side, even the water tasted better. I got the carne asada hanging steak with the coconut rice and plantains. The steak was cooked perfectly, the rice was delicious, and plantains paired well with the food, but I think I'm more of a fries type of guy. The fried chicken plate my friend ordered was also really good, and so were the fajitas. Overall, great food, very friendly service, in a very nice seating area with lovely views of the streets and gardens/palm trees around.

    What a great surprise! We popped in for margaritas and ended up getting snacks. The blackberry margarita and the passion fruit margaritas were average, but the food was excellent! The nachos are unique. They come with fries mixed in and not many chips but the flavors are excellent. And their homemade salsas are the best I've had. Our eight-year-old loved the quesadillas. Service was great!

    We just stumbled upon this place while staying nearby and it was the best thing ever! It happened to be Taco Tuesday, so their special was, you guessed it, tacos! They were PHENOMENAL!! And their hot sauce is super yummy! We also got the chips and pico and that was fantastic as well! Definitely will stop here the next time we are in town! 10/10

    Stopped in with a friend for a late lunch, and it was a really great time. We each ordered…read morehorchata to drink, which tasted great, and had some good food to boot. I think we both had the same thing, baleadas with eggs, and it was nice and toasty. On top of that, also ordered a pupusa that was quite tasty. Ambiance was really great as well, and staff was very friendly. Everything came pretty quickly, and it all tasted good.

    Me giving this place a 2-star review is honestly me being nice. The service was horrible…read more We walked in and the restaurant was nearly empty. We were told to sit anywhere, which was fine, but then we ordered 2 waters and a passion fruit margarita and waited almost 30 minutes just to get them. On top of that, the drink order was wrong. She served us what tasted like salty mango juice -- and I say "juice" because there was absolutely no alcohol in it. Then we ordered a simple meal: a few chicken tacos, pork tacos, and an order of chicharrón. Somehow that still took 30-45 minutes, and the order was missing items when it finally arrived. That's crazy for an order of 4 chicken tacos and 4 pork tacos. The tacos honestly weren't even that good either. The only thing that was actually good was the chicharrón. People always say "good food takes time," and sure, that's understandable when a restaurant is busy. But this place wasn't even halfway full. There were plenty of open tables inside and outside, so the wait made no sense -- especially considering the food wasn't worth it.
