During my visits to Pompano Beach, I regularly stop by this restaurant at least three times a week. The food is consistently of high quality, similar to homemade dishes. The servers are very friendly and provide a warm welcome. The specials are excellent and the entire establishment is clean and well-maintained. If you are in Pompano Beach, I recommend visiting this restaurant for authentic Peruvian cuisine; it is sure to impress. read more

Hubby and I had run an important errand, and we were hungry and hankering for Peruvian food. So we asked Google for the nearest Peruvian restaurant, and it gave us this Cabo Blanco. The place is clean and inviting with a lovely dining room that seats at least 70. The AC seemed to be on the fritz on this hot summer day, but some sort of fan kept us from perspiring. We ordered the fish ceviche, the lomo saltado, and the pollo saltado. The fish in the ceviche was big chunks. I prefer my ceviche with nice, thinly sliced pieces that soak up the marinade. After a few bites, I was not interested in the appetizer anymore. Hubby didn't mind the chunks and polished off the rest. His lomo saltado was good. The beef was a tad overcooked but still tender. I forgot to ask that my onions be well done (allergic to raw onions and these were about 20% cooked); and on receiving my plate, I scooped all the onions and some gravy into a side dish and asked (in Spanish) that it be cooked again and well done. The waitress seemed puzzled, took the plate, and a few minutes later brought me back onions that were about 60% cooked (and I could eat them). I hurriedly combined them with my chicken and tomatoes and the sauce for a delectable gravy but was a bit disappointed because the chicken was dry. (I know chicken breast is preferred, but these kind of entrees really need boneless dark meat for that succulent texture.) Our server, Eliverkis (hope I spelled that correctly), barely spoke English but was extremely nice and even offered to take a photo of us. She took one on my phone and before I realized it, one on hers. Hmmm. Lunch for two with two entrees and an appetizer, tax, and tip was about $60. read more

I was craving Peruvian food (my favorite cuisine) for dinner and decided to go to Cabo Blanco for the first time. Had a good impresion upon arrival with the cute decoration. We get to pick the table which we decided to take a high top table on the side to appreciate the whole restaurant. Our server (Elias) came right away welcoming us nicely. Ordered drinks (beers) and food (aji de gallina and pollo salteado). We got everything within 5 minutes and it was delicious. Definitely I'll come back to this restaurant and I recommend it. Great job read more

Food: Good as always. They need to be a little more creative and have more than 2 sauces for their fried dishes like a Jalea. Service: Not great. Servers not paying attention to the tables (refills, extra dishes to share, etc...) and they were constantly on their phones. Not to mention, they automatically add 15% tip regardless of the service you receive. Ambiance: Very uncomfortable. This was about my 5th time in the last year, and the A/C has still to be fixed. That's a shame, because an uncomfortable places doesn't make me want to return. This restaurant needs to step up their game. They need to put a little more heart and effort to compete with the other Peruvian restaurants in the area. Sincerely, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

First time here. Amazing food, Amazing atmosphere. Server was really helpful. She even taught me a little spanish.

They are advertising $9.99 entrees all day long, but we ordered 2 things from that advertised menu and neither were the $9.99 that they are posting to their social media pages. Pollo Saltado and Pescado Sudado. They were $14.99 and 13.99. It was so hot inside the restaurant too . I so badly wanted to like this place but the pollo Saltado was lacking flavor and just tasted odd. Like a weird chemical or oil or something was coating the chicken. read more

i 'discovered' Cabo Blanco by going to my eye doctor when the former was on Oakland Park Boulevard in a shopping center just west of Dixie Highway. A few years later they moved to their new location which wasn't as convenient as the old one but after going to the Regal Cinemas which was near 62nd street we would go to Cabo Blanco. I do know that I eventually had all of their 30 luncheon specials https://caboblancocypress.business.site/ and 'fell in love' with number 26--Tallarin Saltado con Camerones--Shrimp, fresh tomatoes, green peppers, onions, scallions, spices, soy sauce served on linguini and I have had it an uncountable number times since I discovered it! When COVID hit we stopped going to the Regal theatres and Cabo Blanco staying closer to The Gateway and AMC Coral Ridge theatres. There wasn't any movie we wanted to see and had Friday free so we decided to take the 7-mile trip there from my place and I am so glad we did. The restaurant is as good as ever. At lunchtime they serve a cup of fresh chicken soup--watch for the bones!--and I had the number 26! They have gone up a little in price but it still was loaded with Shrimp and fresh-cut vegetables, piled high on the pasta and was as delicious as ever! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any other of the other 29 specials not to mention ordering off the regular menu as I have. https://order.online/store/cabo-blanco-restaurant-3-fort-lauderdale-1255586/?hideModal=true&pickup=true It is a gem of a restaurant and on my list of top 10 dining places to take visitors!

I decided to take a quick stop at Cabo Blanco for lunch with my mom. The Decore inside the location was quite surprising, definitely not what I was expecting. I had a nice trendy vibe, that you do not usually see in this type of strip malls. The service was a little off and... Granted it was during lunch rush, but the server did not come and greeter table till 10 minutes after, luckily we knew what we wanted and put our order in ASAP. Their lunch prices look very fair, but my mom and I opted to share their dinner Chaufa de Mariscos and cancha to get started. Being as how old this is our go to dish whenever we visit Peruvian restaurants, I will say that it was a little off from the usual. The flavor was good and the portion size was excellent to be shared. The only thing that threw me off was the color of the rice, usually it's a little darker. Nonetheless the rice to seafood was on point. I was also surprised that the appetizer that we ordered was a sufficient size. Overall, I will definitely be back. Maybe just not when I'm in a rush read more

Ordered 2x from here. Overall food is very good. Arroz Chaufa De Mariscos has a slight odd taste (and we've eaten plenty of Peruvian food including this dish.) Sending different sauces would be a nice touch with a $55+ order each time. Also, takeout packing needs to be improved. Order leaked all over the bag each time. Ordered Tres leches but sadly, didn't get to try. Instead received the Alfajor which is a very tasty cookie delicacy (at $2.75 for one, pretty expensive) but I guess this is standard. The ceviche pescado was delicious. Mixto was also very good. Fried yucca with the green sauce is a must! Overall, I would say it's good food, reasonably priced and it was a great option for us on Doordash. We've also gone to Bravo, which was very good as well and ordered from Koustine (pricey but good.) We will continue to try new ones and I will add reviews as I go along. read more

Solid lunch spot with Groupon. Was literally across the street helping a friend move out of a storage unit and opened yelp to see what was near. Then I see Pete mention Groupon and I thought I'd give this spot a try and could order a little extra to get a better evaluation of the place. I always order more if I use Groupon. We ordered the lunch churrasco, yuca with cheese sauce, and ceviche al rocoto. All were delicious. And the three sauces were so nice especially the hot green one. I'll definitely be back for lunch especially if they stay on Groupon. With so many places in the area for lunch competition is so stiff so Groupon gives this place a bonus in my book. read more

I came here with my boyfriend for a quick bite the other night. He said he was in the mood for an ethnic steak dish. I had been here once before and I loved it so I thought this was the place to go to. This restaurant is definitely a hole in the wall but it is clean and the inside is attractive. We ordered the " Tallarin Saltado De Carne " Seared Steak Tid Bits / Onions / Tomatoes / Served Over Linguini DELICIOUS! The linguini is amazing! It's coated with this oily sauce that has the consistency of soy sauce almost so it's not too heavy. The onions and tomatoes were perfectly cooked. They had a lot of flavor for sure. The steak was very good as well! The serving size is huuugggeee so I had a lot left over to take home. The prices here are great. For the amount of food you get and the quality of the food you can't not give this place a try. The service is fast and my waiter was very nice. I will continue to come here! **The photo from my previous visit is the "Pollo Saltado" which is chicken bits, onions, and tomatoes over French fries. read more

Searching through Yelp with a craving for Ceviche I found myself here at Cabo Blanco Seafood Restaurant for lunch. Super happy to find out that they have a great selection of ceviche. I went around 2pm with my Dad for lunch (thank you thanksgiving break). The restaurant was pretty empty but what can you expect in the afternoon on a Monday. We were greeted in Spanish and they realized we only spoke English so our waitress kept the Spanglish to a minimum lol. We ordered waters, Inca Kola and a Mango juice with pulp to start. Our waitress was attentive as can be. We immediately spotted the ceviche "appetizers" (the sizes could essentially be entree size for those who don't like overly huge portions). We decided on the class mix ceviche with shrimp and fish. We also each ordered a lunch special. My dad ordered a sautéed fish with tomatoes and onions and I got pork chips with white rice, black beans and sweet plantains. I wish there were words to describe how full I am. The reason I am giving this restaurant 4 stars instead of 5 is because after all the great service and generous portions of delicious food, I decided to use the restroom before leaving and it was very gross. Sticky floors, old latches on the bathroom doors making it hard to close and the toilet paper is placed awkwardly making it hard for anyone (especially handicapped) to get to it. read more

I had a restaurant.com voucher so I decided to give this place a try on a Saturday night. When I arrived at 7:30pm there were two other tables being served. For awhile I was the only customer. At 8:30pm it was 30% full. The waitress was very friendly and explained the dishes very well. The menu also has pictures of some entrees. They bring you Cuban bread and pepper sauces for dipping. The green sauce is jalapeno and is extremely hot! The yellow pepper sauce is mixed with mayo so it isn't as spicy. I ordered the cheesy linguini, chicken breast, and red beans. (Tallarin a la hauncaino de pollo) This meal was delicious. The chicken was well flavored and very juicy. Since I had to spend $15, I also ordered a meal to go. (aji de gallina). It was very good with the shredded chicken, potato and creamy sauce. It came with choices of sides and I chose rice and black beans. I also had a dessert that I purchased at the register on the way out. It was two buttery cookies with a caramel filling. It was very good and cost $2.50. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant in the strip mall's parking lot. The restaurant is large and the menu offers a variety of entrees. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu. The menu is well priced for the quality and quantity of food provided. read more

Don't get me wrong I love Peruvian food but sometimes I expect it to be just like the real thing. The ceviche was dead on and an excellent choice. Unfortunately anticichos were very dry and should've had a little bit more sauce on it. The service was terrible. We had to wait for drinks, we had to wait to order, we had to wait for the plates to be taken away, and finally over 10 minutes to try to get someone to give us the bill. I tried this place using Groupon and I'm glad I did because unfortunately, besides the ceviche, I would not come back here and have other Peruvian choices I can go to. Hopefully your service is much better and be sure you understand what you are ordering. read more

Came here for lunch on break from work. I'm not too familiar with the restaurants in this area so I am trying to get acquainted with what's around here. Today I stopped into Cabo Blanco. It's located in a pretty old looking plaza, when I came in there was a decent amount of business (looked like people on break from work too) I sat down and was greeted immediately. Service seems attentive and friendly, very large menu with some decent lunch specials on the menu. You get bread to start. Pretty basic. I ordered the Tallarin Verde with a 1/4 chicken piece. It was ok, and just that. The Tallarin (which is basically pesto) tasted very strong and had a bitter taste almost like licorice. It was pretty one dimensional in flavor. The chicken was ok, skin was a little over-cooked and the meat was dry. I ordered dark meat too so it should've been moister. The good part was that my meal was incredibly cheap and they give you a lot of food!!! I barely finished it. I need to try some of their other dishes to better judge the quality of the food. read more

Out of the local Latin establishments in the area, this is one of my least favorites. My friends fish dish came out with the wrong sides. At first we were brought a soup, and we had no idea why. The waitress brought a salad next, but his meal usually comes with rice and black beans. He has had this many times there and questioned it, but the waitresses although kind seemed clueless. Maybe she was new? The plantains were burnt on the ends, and the beans cup wasn't full. I picked up a salad elsewhere when I left. Not my first choice for sure. read more

Experience: 2 / 5 Food: 3/5 Pricing: 2/5 I love Peruvian food! I was excited to bring my Jamaican friend with me to try and explore the dishes Peru has to offer. Unfortunately, our experience was not good for this one. I appreciate the young latina who was helping us, in general she seemed nice. However, this older latino gentleman who was our initial waiter made our experience very uncomfortable. He has a very odd demeanor. He kept interrupting our conversation at the most weird moments when asking if we needed anything else. We felt like he was in a rush to kick us out. Mind you, the place was empty! A couple came in to eat later but that was about it. The appetizer, Jalea was served fast by the older man as I right away asked as soon as ee sat dowb. but he never gave the three colored sauce (thanks to the latina lady who noticed it, 10 mins later.) I invited my fiance to join us, as it says HAPPY HOUR $1.50 tap beer on the menu, but they claim the tap is broken. The wine ordered by my friend was run down. The Lomo Saltado , had 5 small steak pieces and loaded with fries. I enjoyed my causa but the serving size could have been improved. I definitely would not want to invite another friend for happy hour and dinner. There are a lot of better restaurants out there that we could have spent our money and time, with better ambiance. read more

Can you go lower than one star? Because I wouldn't even rate them 1 star. When we sat down there were only 2 other people inside so you'd figure the service would be good. Nope Particularly after a large party arrived. They never checked on us once and in order to pay our check even after trying to get their attention we finally just went up to pay our check. But wait because we used a groupon we can't use a credit card to pay our bill because it was less than 10.00. So across the street to 7-11 I go. As to the food my wife had grilled chicken that she said was pretty good. I just wish I could have said the same about my pork. Extremely dry like it had been cooked earlier and left out all day. The sides served with each dish weren't much better. Not ice cold but definitely should have been warmer. So to sum it all up if you want horrible service and below average food visit Cabo Blanco. read more

One word: Spectacular! *Service here is amazing. Our waitress was so kind and patient. She helped me choose the fried rice with beef, and it did not disappoint. My mouth was watering once I saw my food. It was amazing, I took my mother and the little one out to eat and they even had a little selection for kids which is great because all she eats is chicken nuggets and fries. She loved the fries and my mom loved the ambiance. It's a great spot if you want a meal that is flavorful, wonderfully portioned and won't break the bank. My fried rice was about 12$ and I swear I ate like three times. I took it home for dinner because I couldn't finish it. Will definitely be back, the care and effort they put it was definitely noticed. The manager was walking around asking everyone how their food was, he cleared our table for us and refilled my mother's drink. 10/10!!! Thank you for the experience!!! read more

My wife purchase a group on for this restaurant that is close to my office. I am glad she did. I have driven by the plaza many time but never notice the place. The place has a simple but nice set up with white tables and chairs and large glass windows that look out to the parking lot. A white theme bar and about 5 TVs hanging on the walls. They play Latin music. The lunch menu has one the largest selection I have seen anywhere. Items in the lunch menu range from $5-10. The lunch special are also available during the weekend, which was a welcome surprise. Upon sitting down they bring 3 salsas to the table. The green one is a bit spicy. The white one is creamy. The yellow one appears to be currie based. Service is friendly and for the most part expeditions. Since my first visit a few weeks ago i have returned several time.

I thought I would give this place a four star rating. But after thinking about it, there isn't really anything wrong with this place so I have to go full five stats!! This pleases me to no end. I had a Groupon so I came in with my husband to try it out for lunch. They didn't have any restrictions as what we could and could not get with the Groupon as many other places do, so we ordered some of the lunch specials. First of all, the place was very busy, which always speaks well for a restaurant. Our server came immediately and was very friendly and polite. We were not ready right away so she came back every few minutes until we placed our order. She was on top of things, I had a couple questions as far as what some items were, she took her time explaining everything . This is a Latin restaurant but dishes are mainly Peruvian, but there is a nice variety of latin staples such a cuban food for those who don't like Peruvian cuisine . I ordered pollo a la criolla. The chicken was amazing! Not only the sauce was delicious, but the chicken was seasoned and marinated as well. I really appreciated that. I cannot tell you how many restaurants rely on sauces to flavor the meat! not in this case. Hubby had the churrasco. He loved it. It looked amazing. I was also impressed by the size of the portions. These were lunch specials and cheaper than the regular price entrees, but it was clearly enough to satisfy anyone. We had some fried Yuka as an appetizer with a cheese and yellow pepper sauce he was very good. The place was nice and clean, and like I said before service was very prompt and courteous. I would definitely be back and hubby is already planning to bring his coworkers read more

My friends (Peter and German) found this place and wanted us to check it out, on their recommendation. And I'm glad we did. To start with, Frank was coming with us. Now Frank can be a bit particular when it comes to food but when he saw that they had veal hearts on the menu, he was sold. I won't get into why anyone would eat veal heart, but Frank and his husband love them. They ordered that as their appetizer and I was amazed when I saw how much of it they got. I guess all beef hearts in the South Florida area come to Cabo Blanco so they have plenty. Frank told me that if it's not cooked properly it will have the consistency of shoe leather. This was as moist and tender as it could possibly be. I don't eat red meat as a rule but I did have a taste of it and even I enjoyed it. I'm a seafood lover but the list of choices was daunting. When the manager came over, I asked him what would be authentic Peruvian and he named something that sounded like "Seafood Macho," but I could be wrong. Anyway, I ordered it. Other friends had ceviche and others tried other dishes off the menu. They start with bread and spicy sauces for the bread, which were delicious. I like hot spices so this suited me just fine. If you don't like it hot, ask for something milder. They might have ketchup or something. Anyway, the bread was good and we all enjoyed it. The appetizers came next and everyone loved what they ordered. I generally don't get an appetizer because I don't eat that much and I wanted to save room for the entree. There was no way I was ever going to finish the amount of food that they put down in front of me. It had shrimp, calamari, mussels and I believe a few other tidbits all served over a fish fillet and in a sauce that was out of this world. I was quite happy with the recommendation. I've seen the bad reviews of this place and I have to say, this was not the experience that we had. Our party of six all loved our meals and we all intend to return to this place again. The food was good, the prices were reasonable the service was fine and we all left full and very happy. What's not to like? read more
