“ We just moved to the neighborhood and wanted to try this place. The food was delicious! I ordered the garlic shrimp which came with rice, beans and plantains. My boyfriend ordered their steak special steak picanha. The service was great. Our server and the others were very attentive to us. They even gave us a free dessert, a delicious coconut flan. We'll definitely be back! ”
“ Great, attentive service here. They have good specials all week. The food tastes great. I like the hot sauces that come with the tacos. If you pay cash here, make sure they remove the credit card upcharge. ”
“ This place gives a lot of food.. Price is justifiable. My partner got the fajitas, not also comes with rice They swerve Latin food, Mexican, Cuban,Colombian, Honduran etc.. it was great... I would have 5 but I seen others come in after us, order after us, but got their food way before us.. 3 different people.. so I was skeptical about that. Otherwise everything else was good ”
“ I heard this place was good so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken burrito while my husband ordered the steak burrito. The tortillas were obviously made from scratch. Though they were thick, they were good. The meat was well seasoned. It also came with a side of seasoned veggies. Overall, the food was decent and I'd eat there again. ”
“ Ever wonder about living in South America? Walking through its beautiful lush Forrest, lugging down a black sand volcano in Nicaragua, or what about exploring the ancient Maya ruins still left in Guatemala or Honduras? And what about the food? That combination of Olmec, Mayan, and Spanish food? That exploration of flavors that on this particular region of the world with it unique history possesses. Well, if your Central American Dream is about food, like mine is, Las Carnitas is the place for your to visit. Although it's hard to find parking 'cause the plaza is a bit small, the place is always packed. People from all over the state crave it's authentic cuisines and the unadulterated nature of their dishes. First the extend of the menu is fascinating. If it's Hondurian food you want, they got it, especially those famous Baliadas. If it's Salvadorian food, don't even ask much, just for the Pupusas. All and all they have it all. Again, in this times of quarantine and Coronavirus, when travel is so restricted, it's great to know we have this gem in our backyard and we can treat ourselves and our family to the best Central America has to offer without ever leaving our homes. Go ahead, try them! And Trust me, you won't regret it. ”
“ After reading some of the reviews I was a little skeptical about the location of this place. However, upon entering the plaza, it seemed like a police convention going on in the restaurant. Mostly, police from Fort Lauderdale. So needless to say we felt extremely safe walking in there a little too safe. The main room has 16 tv screens around on the walls. The second room, to go, cafeteria, has 4 tv screens throughout. Today was taco Tuesday so the tacos for each 99 cents. The choices that they had was meat, chicken, and pork. We order street tacos so they came with onions and cilantro. Needless to say it was a great deal for $0.99 and we would be back on the regular night to see what the steak tacos with taste like since the meat tacos was kind of like cut up steak meat meat. the waiters and waitresses were very friendly, the customers are also very friendly, with the amount of television screens and the bar area it probably gets really packed during games. The location is also frequented by a lot of men, which is probably 90% men and 10% females customers. Probably due to the mass amount of TVs and the food specials. The the second room the smaller room, is pretty much take out, cafeteria style food where you can pick what you want and then pay right there and then. Sorry about any spelling mistakes as talk to text is not my friend. ”
