40 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fort Lauderdale

“Our new favorite place Can't believe we have been sleeping on this place since it's literally down the street from my house. Punkys Tacos is an absolute vibe and the food is fire. 🔥 We are already planning what we are getting next time Our server Julie was great with suggestions of favorites especially since it was our first time. Queso dip and Chips - the addition of chorizo was a nice twist that jazzed this classic up Cheetodilla - I cant even put into words this quesadilla with a hot cheeto twist. My daughter ❤️ loved it Fish tacos - perfectly crunchy Mahi with Pink corn shells .. Pink !!!!! The atmosphere of the place was enjoyable with music 🎶 and table settings that gave it a homey feel. Next Friday is there 1 year anniversary and they are having a big party. Go check them out.“

“Buena atención hi buena comida“

“My brother's and I visited Rocco's for lunch and had an excellent experience.

The overall layout was very welcoming and the staff made us feel right at home.

Most places I get table side guacamole I feel as if the ingredients haven't had enough time to marinate, but here the seasonings made it perfect and it had a lot of good flavor.

We ordered the burrito bowl, tacos, and quesadilla all of which came out great. Especially the chorizo tacos. Those we a a favorite by far.

The bar tender was kind enough to put together a unique flight of tequila for us to try as well. We all enjoyed it and had a chance to try something new.

The manager stopped by one or two times to make sure everything was good and that we were happy and our waitress was very attentive and checked on our table often.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rocco's. The establishment was clean, well ran, with great service, good tequila, and awesome food!“

“The food, cocktails and staff over the top wonderful! We highly recommend the great menu and the margaritas were delicious! The staff was so efficient, helpful and full of fun! Please give them try...you will not regret your decision!“

“Was looking forward to the Ceviche I had on our first night on vacation. I came back to have the Ceviche again a few days later since I loved it so much and the Ceviche was completely different. All shrimp…. Did not even taste like Ceviche. Was sooo disappointed. I wish they would have told us before we ordered or I would have gotten something else instead. Let your customers know if the menu changes. I walked through high winds and rain to come back to this restaurant before flying back home.“

“Professional, amabilidad, atenta. Excelente servicio. Primera vez que mi esposo y yo vamos. Fue por recomendación. Excelente por cierto. Definitivamente volveremos. La comida de sabor exquisito… Como clienta nueva les dejo saber que un restaurante es sobresaliente en su comida y su éxito por las personas que componen el restaurante. Ósea los que atienden a los clientes. Los que nos cocinan. Sin esas personas el restaurante no saliera adelante…. Para Meri, la muchacha que nos atendio excelente servicio al cliente. Muy atenta y amable con nosotros todo el tiempo.“

“We love Epazote. Best Mexican food! Simonne and Hugo are awesome hosts and Hugo is an incredible chef. HIGHLY recommend !“

“⭐️🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 La Costa – Fort Lauderdale We went to La Costa for Taco Tuesday and it was delicious! We tried the El Pollo, Al Pastor, Birria, and Carnitas tacos, and honestly, everything was amazing. Our favorites were definitely the Birria and the Al Pastor — especially with that touch of pineapple! We also loved the homemade Rojo and Verde sauces that paired perfectly with the tacos. The onions were slightly sautéed, which gave them such great flavor, and they gave plenty of lime too (always a plus!). We loved the presentation — the tacos were served on a banana leaf over a wooden board, which made it look great and feel like a special touch. It was an awesome Taco Tuesday experience, but honestly, we’d go back any day of the week. If you haven’t tried La Costa yet, you’re missing out! 🌮“

“Day 5 Happy Hour at El Camino location in Boca Raton, FL was incredible. The place was buzzing, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We snagged a table pretty quickly despite the crowd. Our server, John, was top-notch. We started with a $6 margarita & a michelada, & the tamarind straw was a game-changer. The food was phenomenal - chips with salsa, pork tamale, chicharrones, & more. We were stuffed, but the flavors were perfection. What a steal!“

“Delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine! Love the empanadas, queso fundido & fajitas!“

“Sehr lecker und macht viel Spaß“

“We loved this place ! our server Darquin was attentive, sweet, bubbly & just plain adorable! Our fajitas were steaming hot & great ! The ambiance was upbeat & will keep you laughing! We recommend this place 💯 %. Thank you Senor Frogs & Darquin ! ❤️“

“Food was so good that I forgot to take a picture. I’m definitely going to be coming back. The atmosphere, the drinks, everything was excellent. I ordered the guacamole, the regular margarita, and my sister ordered three tacos: octopus, barbacoa, and la birra. Very authentic. 😋“

“Great south florida local restaurant! The guacamole is amazingly fresh.“

“Good food and super nice staff“

“Well the chicken is marinated and something fantastic my other half he likes the chicken quesadilla(BRS)chips and salsa always on deck ready to go fresh with cold salsa warm chips steak very juicy topped with onions on it. You can ask for if like I ask for extra also clean.“

“I had an amazing experience at Hello Taco, and I have to give a special shout-out to Asael. His service was super friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure everything was perfect from the moment I ordered to the moment I left.

I ordered the birria tacos, and they were so good. The tortillas were crispy, the meat was tender and flavorful, and the consommé had the perfect richness. Honestly, some of the best birria tacos I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and full of flavor.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing - authentic Mexican! I’ve tried different dishes, and none have disappointed. I highly recommend the molcajete, I’ve had it at many places, but this one is by far the best. The service is always wonderful too. The ladies are very attentive. Damaris heard it was my and my sister-in-law birthday, and surprised us with cake, which was such a sweet detail. And I have to mention her micheladas, they are so good and I’m not even a beer (or michelada) person. Highly recommended this place!“

“We are locals that come to the drunken taco all the time and unfortunately, we had a bad experience today. We waited 20 minutes for a server so we went and got our own drink at the bar. We were then kicked out of the table because we went to the bar to get our own drinks. We had to go sit at the bar and yet I’m looking at 20 empty tables. I’m not a spring breaker and we tip well understanding the real estate of these seats and servers needing to make money. As I am finishing my drink both tables we tried to sit at have been empty. Even worse when we came to the bar to sit, we sat next to two other gentlemen m, not locals, who had just been kicked out of their seats because they hadn’t ordered food yet they had more friends going to join them and possibly would have ordered food, but how the situation was handled, they went somewhere else as well. Not the best business practice especially when you’re slow.“

“If you’ve never tried their birria tacos you don’t know what you’re missing. THE BEST ! 🔥😊“

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“I have been going there for years. Great quesadilla!“

“Worst Service Ever! Read the Fine Print.. When I was informed that My "Happy Hour" margaritas were suddenly Double Priced because I didn't order any entrees.. Marie the MOD who claimed to be an Owner/ Family member told us "is this your first time here?" stating I had been here several times. Marie then replied "Then you should know The rules" and began to berate the poor waitress right there at the table about not informing us of this rules! I was not only so embarrassed for the poor waitress but embarrassed for Miss Marie who claims to be an owner! I've been in the hospitality industry for years and have never in my life seen such behavior by a well known establishment. I paid my check and tipped the poor waitress well. after leaving I then went back and apologized again to the poor waitress for her manager/owners behavior. if corporate reads this, there's a coaching opportunity for Miss Marie. she should not be in management. to stand at a customers table in the middle of a crowded dining room and argue insisting that the customers are wrong and should know the rules is unacceptable! I don't mind playing by the rules but I need to know what they are first. I have visited La Bamba on several occasions over my years in Fort Lauderdale. that will end immediately!! I will never again visit or recommend La Bamba to anyone. consumer Beware $50.00 for 4 6oz well Margaritas is a crime within itself. you have several locations and have been successful maybe it's time you check yourself and remember where you came from. sincerely disgusted by La Bamba and it's supposed owner!“

“fantastic food and service!!!“

“Muy buenos y un lugar muy limpio me gusto mucho 👍🏻“

“I had an incredible evening at Solluna. The evening I went there was a good flow of people coming into the restaurant! I’m not gonna lie it was a bit of a wait for my dinner but that’s because of the large traffic of folks dining and drinking.What really changed the evening for me was the incredible bartender! Renata, you’re awesome!“

“Delicious and fresh Super friendly staff“

“Muy buen servicio, deliciosas tortas y los tacos espectaculares, muy limpio el lugar .“

“First time here. In on a Wednesday at 4 PM. Got seated and our server brought drinks and chips. Salsa for the chips was WAY too watery. My friend ordered Roast Pork with rice & beans. $ 9.99 He said the flavor was good as was the quantity. I ordered Beef Fajitas $ 19.99. Came with a SMALL dish of sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa and a little shredded lettuce and 4 warm tortillas. No problem getting more. The quantity of Fajita fixings was good but they left out the Fajita Seasoning so it did not taste like Fajitas at all. Add the seasoning and the dish would have been a 5. Finished the meal with a flan. $ 3.99 Small for the price. Server Marvin did a good job. Not close to home. May go back.“

“Great ice cream. I would definitely be back again.“

“In Fort Lauderdale, a Savoury Fiesta at Antojitos MexicanosLocated in the thriving city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Antojitos Mexicanos is a hidden gem that offers a gourmet tour into the heart of Mexico. I recently went to this restaurant, and I had a great time, and I want to tell you about it.I was immediately taken to a raucous Mexican festival after entering Antojitos Mexicanos. The restaurant's vibrant furnishings, cheery soundtrack, and welcoming atmosphere made it the ideal setting for an authentic eating experience. With her warm and helpful service, our waitress Maria gave our meal a personal touch.Let's go on to the pièce de résistance, the bocadillos. Antojitos Mexicanos raises the bar for bocadillo craftsmanship significantly.“

“First time at this place; the restaurant was clean, the food was outstanding, and the waiter (Brandon) was very attentive. Then again, there were only two or three other tables seated. Awkward ambiance for the first five+/- minutes because there was no music playing and the TVs were off. Finally, the music came on and the dining experience improved ten-fold. Meanwhile, the TVs were never turned on. Not a big deal, in fact... might even be cool to have a place with no TVs, where people are forced to interact with one another. But I digress, if you choose to have televisions in your establishment, keep them on; there's a lot you can do with them, not just have it on TV programming. Anyways, this place is absolutely fantastic and has the potential to be one of the area's best restaurants. I'll definitely be back!“

“Excellent family run business that gives back to their community! They serve real whole foods and it is delicious!“

“El mejor aviente familiar“

“Went here Saturday the broward location the food sizes were large. The food was made to order Margaritas was strong“

“I've had take out here before and the pork chops was soo delicious! Came back with my dad for lunch and we both ate all our food! It healthy, delicious and felt like home cooking! Can't wait to try the other food on their menu! Service was friendly and the place was very clean!“

“Best tacos and Spanish food in town, recommend every single plate in the restaurant from breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The atmosphere is chill and livid at the same time! The team and ownership is super humble and attentive! As a returning customer for over 9 years, nothing beats their services. Definitely recommend them any day of the week and any time of the day. 💯💯💯 on my book.“

“I went in to this location with bags to go to the laundry mat. I love taco bell. I asked the lady manager who took my order if i could have some change back in quarters... She rolled her eyes felt put out and said only a dollar as she broke a ten dollar roll. All i said was 3 dollars would b great if not no worries. So as i waited for my order i rinsed my personal bottle out w a swish of water and then grabbed my tea cup i also put ice n water in it. I went back to my table decided to put ice in my personal bottle and add more water to it The machine was off The lady was looking at me funny and and I asked the machine is off could I put some water in this she said as she looked at my table with my teacup will you just put mountain dew in that cup so I walked over to the table I grabbed my cup I brought it over to her and showed her my two lemon lift tea bags and the water in my cup she then acted rudely and stated that I could have some water and gave me a cup the size for a toddler with attitude as well so I decided to go back to the table and just relax when my food order was ready I went up grabbed my food I had paid I think $0.20 or so for the Verde salsa it was not on there she could not find the receipt I threw my receipt away and she felt put out to put Verde salsa as well I was wanting not to say anything but I decided to tell her that I think it was rude that she was profiling me because of the situation how I came in the way I was treated Customer service was ridiculous I felt like she thought she was better than me and that I was a nuisance to her“
