    I placed my order through Grubhub and it was an easy process. Our hotel was only 5 minutes away from this location but we decided we would just eat in our room. I ordered the plate that came with grilled chicken, yellow rice, black beans, and a roll. My sister had the churrasco plate which included meat, white rice, black beans, and a roll. We also ordered a side of potato wedges. Total was about $45 with all the extra delivery and app fees and we waited about 35 minutes for the food to arrive. Upon receiving our food we noticed that the food was already lukewarm, not hot. Disappointing. The chicken was pretty good, it was juicy and not dry. I also really enjoyed the yellow rice but the black beans could've used some salt. My sisters steak was good but they were very stingy, counted about 7 small pieces of meat. We did not receive the potato wedges so no comment on that. Overall the food was good, I would definitely order from here again but I would ask for the food to be extra hotttt.

    The employees very rude to my elderly lady. Left food out longtime

    If I could give a zero I would poor customer service , employees very rude !!! Was very mean to an elderly customer, she asked for white meat chicken was given dark meat then the employee stated she doesn't know what she want!

    Chicken and pork bowl

    Surprisingly good for airport food, and reasonably priced for the location. Extra $ for cheese and guac. Coke products in stock.

    Stopped at this Pollo Tropical on my way to dropping off my husband at the airport.. I was very upset that the parking lot is full of potholes... I tried to avoid but eventually hit a few of them...they were all over the place. Tried to placed the order online, but their APP is horrible....it gets stuck, it does not allow to view the cart....etc.... Decided to just go in and order....the place was full....one cash register person doing the sales transaction and getting the drinks...poor guy....In the back, 6 people working hard in the kitchen... Maybe it is an understaffing issue, but customer service can be improved...The meal itself was good and yummy.....

    chicken, rice, and a roll in a styrofoam container

    1/4 chicken with rice and beans and a side Caesar salad. Food was 10/10 and less than $10. The service was good and very welcoming The ambiance inside is nice to dine in but I usually like takeout.

    why package the burnt plantains it would have been better they said they didn't have any more

    I just left this location I ordered 1/4 grilled chicken with beans, rice side of avocado and a side of plantains, On opening my order at home the plantains are all burnt I am sure they seen it before packaging it, the wing was crunchy the breast was over cooked the avocado was wet as if it was fresh the shower or it went for a swim for 19$ I will never go back to this location Can you give -ZERO stars ????

    they had the longest line around 1 pm today . Only one person in the register not good for been in lunch hour. My food was ok. I ordered the family and the chicken was so dry. Rice and beans were ok . Cesar salad was good . I don't know what is happening to the pollo tropical but so far in this location and the one in pompano bad experiences . Where the have the sauces was very messy !! I used to leave in the West coas and so different there hope they can learn from them ( and this our newer locations too )

    I wish I could give a million stars!…read more Toro is located inside the Le Meridien hotel in Dania Beach. You have to go in the parking lot and get a ticket, but the restaurant will validate it. It has its own entrance from the parking lot. Right when you walk in, it feels very nice and upscale. My husband and I came for a happy hour experience, and tried just about everything. All of it was incredible! The guac was served with a mixture of plantain chips and tortilla chips, which I loved. The corn empanadas were surprisingly a little spicy, but delicious. The mac and cheese came in a skillet with tajin breadcrumbs, and was super creamy and delicious. The elote was probably my favorite. You can't beat truffle! I also especially loved the yuca that came with the beef. The drinks were super strong. After about a drink and a half (the hibiscus margarita and the Mexican mojito), I found myself needing to probably cut myself off. We sat at the bar, and the server who helped us was really nice. If you're looking for a nicer and more upscale happy hour experience, this is it. It's a great night out with amazing food. Highly highly highly recommended!

We only live about 2 miles away from this location. All the special modifications were wrong, the sauces came on top when we asked for them to be on the side. The food itself honestly wasn't very good and the value for the price point was definitely not there. $50 for a Loma Salado that was not very good. The burrata was okay, nothing great for sure.... I would say edible but not very good. Definitely not worth what we spent on the items. Will for sure not be going back.

    We've seen their sign for a couple of years now on Federal heading north between Hollywood and…read moreSheridan. The name never landed with us as it sounded like a standalone food court. It was the sign underneath that read, "Too tired to cook today?" that made us take notice. Looking at the online menu we found that it was not only a who's who of Latin dishes of different nationalities, but they also served bar fare - chicken wings, burgers, quesadillas, etc. Not knowing what their specialty was, we never committed to it. But today was one of those days where we felt like something different and we took a chance. The gamble paid off big. The menu was all over the place, so not knowing what direction to go in, I addressed the waiter who was all too ready to help. He pointed me to some of his faves: the Bandeja Paisa, Lomo Saltado, and Ropa Vieja. I'd had my eye on the Lomo Saltado, a popular Peruvian stir fry dish. The Bandeja Paisa is Colombian, and the Ropa Vieja - Cuban. I asked him what the nationality of the ownership was, when he revealed it was Colombian. I was immediately skeptical of ordering the ropa vieja - being half Cuban, I could not fathom the idea of a Colombian-owned restaurant pulling this off. So Joe took one for the team there. The waiter assured me that everything he has tried has in fact been delectable. But hey, what else is he supposed to say? But no, he assured me these were not marketing words, but words of experience. So I went for the Lomo Saltado which was served with black beans and rice, and french fries. He didn't hesitate to vouch for the black beans... I think he sensed my Colombian skepticism. Joe had replaced his fries for sweet plantains, so I took his cue and substituted my fries for tostones. But, not before warning the waiter that I would be particularly particular about the quality of my favorite plantain dish. He gave me a confident nod - so I played along. Joe's dish came out a few seconds before mine, and being the impatient carnivore that I am, I (let's say borrowed) his ropa vieja before he had a chance to pick up his fork. I was very pleasantly surprised. On par with any old clothes I have tried at any Cuban restaurant... and even better than some, albeit in longer strands than I've experienced. However, extremely juicy, full of flavor and tender. Then came my Lomo. I'm a first-timer, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was fan-tastic. A bit charred outside with a juicy medium innard that cuts like butter, and to my relief, deceivingly tender. The lomo napped on a bed of sautée-charred veggies whose sweetness was a nicely balanced contrast to the savory meat. The black beans were definitely on point and seasoned with Colombian love. And those ten-ton-tostones!!! By far the thickest fried medallions I've had, but with a brutally loud crunch and still a real easy chew. And unlike John Travolta in a black T-Bird jacket, totally Greaseless. Often times, tostones of this variety are tough and as chewable as week-old yellow paper mache. Nope, these are some of the best tostones I've had in a couple of years. But by far the best of their kind. I also borrowed one of Joe's sweet plantations which once again left no trace of greased lightning and were rendered a perfect dark brown with a nice and plush sunshine yellow inside. The portions were more than generous and the price was comfortably modest. I expressed my deepest gratitude to our waiter for his patience and his spot on recommendations. He also swore by their burger which he had just sampled for the first time and which is made partly with Colombian chorizo and served with a side of chimichurri. Chorizo and chimichurri for little cha-ching.... I'm sure I'll be chowing on that real soon. Food Corner is a cornucopia of Latin influences, and so far, it's also a master of two of them.

I was hesitant when making the reservation because from my experience when restaurants are this close to performing arts centers or arenas the food tends to suck, but I was not disappointed. We made reservations for 6:30 on a Friday night before watching Harry Potter in concert. We parked near the theater, but the restaurant has parking designated to its customers across the street and in the back of the restaurant as well. This is a bonus for me as I avoid downtown Fort Lauderdale because of the parking. We got seated quickly. The patio area is very nice and cozy, but We opted to sit inside. The inside is very small.

But when my partner asked me what I really felt like I said Casa Playa or Chimney house. So we raced to get there at 9:30ish starving. Good thing we asked the kind manager first if they would still serve us food since they closed at 10.. He was kind enough to tell us they would serve us no problem. Glad we asked as the male server who who wasn't even serving us) was quick to walk by when he saw us, not to greet us but to tell us the kitchen was closed. Then seemed annoyed when the manager confirmed we were ok. Thanks buddy. Thankfully we were being served by the kind male bartender with the female server being sweet enough to bring us menus We made sure to have our order in as soon as asked. The male bartender was great. Friendly and made us feel welcome. I have been to this restaurant many times because I love Chimney house and these are the same owners. So I was truly grateful that the bartender, female server and manager were so kind. The owners do a great job as hiring such great team members. Because of the managers hospitality we asked about future events and have already planned to stay at an air bnb across the street for the upcoming soccer games.
