My favorite is the palomilla steak, but to be perfectly honest, it's the salsa, plantains and beans & rice that keep me coming back. Their salsa is my all-time favorite and no one does plantains like they do. Youngest offspring always gets the fried ice cream (so good and they always give us extra spoons) and I love their flan. Didn't get the caffe con leche this time, but it's a winner too! Parking is a bit limited - small parking lot - but there's plenty of seating inside (love how they freshened it up during quarantine). The staff are wonderful - attentive but not intrusive. We'll keep coming back as long as we can!

Vilas tries to combine 2 popular food genres in one restaurant by serving Mexican and Cuban dishes…read more For the most part, I would say, the ambiance is mostly Mexican, but as far as quality of food food goes, both are done very well. I was with a large group, while every9ne seem to want to try the Mexican menu, I ordered from the Cuban menu and ordered Ropa Vieja, and I must say, everyone was very satisfied with the food. Everyone's favorite drink seemed to be piña colada, although I was very satisfied with my michelada. Overall, it was a positive experience. The price was very reasonable, the happy hour menu is available all day, everyday, and I personally would love to go back and try other items.

This time, I ordered two Grande Burger Plus burgers because I honestly couldn't settle for just one and I'm glad I didn't. They were absolutely amazing. The flavors are bold, unique, and packed into every bite, making these burgers truly one of a kind. What really stands out about this place is the Latin atmosphere. It brings a lively, authentic vibe that makes the experience even more enjoyable. You can tell there's a lot of culture and passion behind the food, and it shows in both the taste and presentation. The staff is always friendly, smiling, and genuinely happy to have you there, which makes a big difference. It's the kind of place where you feel welcomed every time you walk in. Overall, La Perrada Company never disappoints. Great food, great energy, and a spot I'll definitely continue coming back to for years to come.

Have driven by this location for years. It appeared to grow from a food truck with a home-base to a…read morewalk-in/take-out location with storefront signage. To succed in the taco space is just about as difficult as a local pizzeria. As a takeout and delivery spot, I finally made the decision to give them a shot. I got the 4 steak taco meal and took them up on the instruction to ask for corn. For me, it's not authentic Mexican if its on flour. I also ordered the chips and salsa. I always start there because you're getting 80%+ of the ingredients in all the dishes with those 2 selections. That philosophy has done me right a many of a late night post night adventures. Stick with the basics and things tend to work out. The flavors were on point! A squeeze of fresh lime and a drizzle of the green sauce they provided were they perfect additions to the steak taco. Seasoned perfectly without the sauce too. They do simple flavors and don't complicate it with unnecessary additions. From a flavor and quality standpoint, they push out a very good taco. Where this review dips down to a three, almost two is the value to portion size and for the $11 chips and salsa. The tacos were $5 each, which is middle of the road price wise when you're buying a 4 pack menu item. The taste didn't make up for amount of steak and condiments that $20 got me. I want to stress the taco was good, 6/10. The chips and salsa not so much. I couldn't tell if it was fresh salsa or canned. My years owning a burrito/wrap restaurant didn't help make that determination either. My hope is canned based on the product. It was the consistency of a loose V-8 with less than 10 pieces of onion and tomato with one tiny flower tip of cilantro. The flavor was neutral, very tomato forward. Same thing with the chips, I couldn't tell if they were homemade. The completely saturated paper bag they were in leans towards homemade, nothing notable about the chip, which in all fairness is usually the case at your average taco spot. My real problem with this experience will show in the photos. $31 + tax and tip for what you see. I have average size hands for reference. A small bag of chips saturated with oil and a 3 ounce cup of 95% seasoned tomato juice for $11 is terrifying to me. The items with the largest profit margins being over charged like that are bad economic signs. Most high volume Mexican eateries provide unlimited chips and salsa, typically with a spicy and mild option. This is a takeout scenario, so I'm not implying that should happen. I'm mentioning it because those restaurants give it away because of the food cost involved. Without the bag and plastic souffle cup, max cost on this chips and salsa is $1.50. That likely covers the paper goods too. $11 is a brave move with a takeout/delivery spot and tons of legit local competition a few miles from Fort Lauderdale. Your food better be top 10% to get away with that. I don't want to beat a dead horse, just look at the photo and put me in my place if I'm out of pocket. Give a fair assessment of the amount of ingredients in the taco as well. It just seems like the juice isn't worth the squeeze imo. If I saw their food truck out in the wild, I would absolutely order some tacos. Otherwise, there are far too many quality Mexican restaurants providing a better product and value to check out.

I had read about this Peruvian restaurant and wanted to try it…read more It's in a small strip mall and there is lots of parking. When the three of us got there around 6 p.m. on a Wednesday, we were the only ones in the dining room. Our friend is going with my husband and I to Peru in October but has never had Peruvian food. So, we decided to bring her along to try her first Peruvian dishes. We ordered a ceviche entree and potatoes with cheese sauce for appetizers. The ceviche was good, with thinly sliced, well-soaked pieces of fish. My friend thought the cheese sauce on the potatoes was spicy; we did not. In fact, I thought the potatoes were kind of bland and that the sauce was a positive addition. Then, we three shared the Peruvian roasted chicken, the pollo saltado, and the chicken fried rice. The roasted chicken was fine. Nothing stellar. The fried rice was very salty, and was the least palatable of all the food we ate. We barely got through half of the entree. The pollo saltado was very good and the best of all the entrees. The restaurant charges a 4% surcharge for using a credit card. So, I gave the waitress my debit card. Nevertheless, she came back and had taken the credit card amount which included an extra 4% from my debit card and didn't understand that taking money from my debit card was like getting cash. And there was nothing I could do to explain that a debit card had no charges. Dinner for 3 with 1 appetizer, 4 entrees, 2 cans of soda, tax, and tip was $109. I would add a half star just because service was excellent. The server was pleasant and very amicable. The chef even came out to inquire how we liked the food. (Though, when we told him about the salty fried rice. He didn't seem to have a response.)
