This neighborhood gem is worth a stop. All the items I am used to seeing at my local favorite Cuban bakery, but more! My husband said the ham and cheese empanada was outstanding. My son ordered a breakfast croissant with bacon which he enjoyed. I ordered the medianiche sandwich which was the pork was moist and bread was tasty. Son and husband both ordered the a cafe con leche which was delicious. Best of all is the affordability. I would come here every morning if I lived here! They also have outdoor seating, which is dog friendly. So come bring your pooch!

While visiting Ft Laud I wanted some authentic food from someone's kitchen! turned to my trusted Yelp and came across this place. The decor is so cute and IG ready moment! I ordered the White Mocha with guava. So delicious! My only wish was that the guava taste was more prominent. The Churrasco bowl, steak, egg, potatoes, Avocado, onions and peppers. I also purchased a few pastries to go, they were delicious also. This place is a real gem and I can't wait to go back there!

Sandwich was okay - definitely not as good as I hoped - but it had potential so maybe just an off day. More of a coffee shop cafe / desserts are good tops

This place unfortunately fell flat for me. We went here as a last spot before we headed to the airport and ordered the following: + Cafe con leche + croquetas + pan con bistec + cuban sandwich I currently am not drinking caffeinated drinks, and unfortunately they didn't have this as an option. Croquetas when bit into were virtually hollow. The bistec for the pan con bistec was too chewy. The winning moment for our experience here was the cuban sandwich.

I have been here a few times while passing by the Fort Lauderdale Downtown area and Colada does not disappoint. It follows the guidelines of Cuban Cafes to the letter - delicious, affordable, and quick. The restaurant also does a great job of catering to modern expectations of customers with an updated ambiance and service experience without sacrificing tradition. As a Cuban native, I'm pretty satisfied with Colada's updated experience that honors the traditional cuisine. I'll definitely keep coming back.

Stop # 2 on my cuban coffee journey in south Florida. Made a quick stop for a colada and beef empanada... They have booze coffees and lemonades if you get a chance and aren't driving like I was. Very cute but modern take on cuban cafe. Nice staff,quick service, free parking in garage near by

Low Carb Breakfast Wrap with plantains (maduros)

Super good food! Love coming here from time to time. Great atmosphere, always see the same people with the same dogs. You can tell they've built their clientele to become regulars. Definitely will always be a go to spot for me

Went to this adorable Cuban coffee spot for a bite and ended up loving it. I had a croissant that was fresh and flaky, and the cortadito was so good I had to order a second one. The place is cozy with a lot of charm--perfect for a casual meal or coffee break. Great food, great vibe. I'll definitely be back.

Scrambled eggs with ham and breakfast potatoes

I have ordered from this restaurant before, but this time wasn't a good experience as we ordered breakfast and the food was kinda of a mess. The croissant breakfast sandwich was burned, the scramble was runny, and the protein and breakfast potatoes had a odd taste.

Havana Hangover Sandwich

Always busy here but I love their coffee and little snacks . They usually have a seasonal late that changes . The place is chill during the day but have a busy atmosphere in the mornings.

Really good coffee and very big portions . Do come its clean and good breakfast . Parking a little tight

Coffee was on point! Sandwiches was a tad dry as I expected butter on the breakfast sandwich.

Place was fantastic! Perfectly what I needed before a long flight. The entrance is towards the back. I went very early since I needed a place to eat breakfast at so I decided to get a Cuban French toast and it was okay, really crunchy! I liked the beef empanada and thought it was a big size. Would come back as another option for breakfast if I'm in the area

Hard rice, with black beans, and the best sweet plantains ever.

The appetizer platter also comes with the same kind of plantain chips. Highly recommended if you want to try a bit of everything. Empanada has fresh homemade crust Lechon asado: tender and juicy roasted pork. I substitute the moros with fried plantains. I really enjoy it. Plantains are ripe and sweet but not mushy. Tostones are the biggest I've ever had. Well fried and not greasy. Plenty of drink options. Sangria is ok, not very fruity. Only has two slices of oranges . Mojito: strong rum from my favorite rum brand Don Q. My friend ordered paella. The portion is huge. You can share it with more than one person. It takes three containers to take home the leftover. Very tasty with fresh seafood.

The service was excellent, and the restaurant is beautiful with a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious. We started with the empanadas which had an excellent flavor and the mango salsa that it came with was really really good. For dinner, my wife had the Lachona Asada and I had the churrasco steak. Both our dishes were excellent amazing flavors. The meat was super tender, and the portions were a really nice size. I can definitely say that we're going to return more often, especially if the food continues at this level.

I cannot say enough about how incredible El Tamarindo café is. We walked here from our hotel on a…read morehot day before embarking on a cruise. We were looking for somewhere to get a very satisfying dinner at a slightly early bird time. We were the first people in the restaurant for dinner and we wondered if the empty place held any bearing on the quality of food. Let me tell you... This was one of the best meals I've ever had while traveling. We were shocked and amazed at the large portions and the incredible flavor. We try to eat high-protein, and that was no problem here. We kept telling the staff to give our compliments to the chef. We had a few drinks, we had a really great long meal, and as we were packing up, more people were flowing in. We had leftovers, but since we were traveling, we couldn't take them with us, so we decided to sit tight until we had finished as much as we could. Worth it!

The food is 4 stars but all these additional fees bring it to a 3 star. The food is good here! But…read moreI personally do find this place expensive. And it was very off putting to see that on the menu they had all these additional charges. It's +2$ after 3pm and then 2$ if you share food! That is ridiculous. I don't believe either of those are justified. Also if you get fajitas you only get 3 tortillas. Usually places are more generous with tortillas. Nonetheless , the food is solid. The chicken soup I got was very tasty and tasted very authentic. I also got the chicken sandwich with rice and beans. I opted for the breaded chicken. It was fried really evenly and the chicken was thin. I like that. The salsa on the side was vinegar based with big chunks of onion and peppers. I enjoyed that as well.

He was very friendly but here is a list of things that went wrong. 1. Dan tried to imitate what Chinese sounded to him, speaking gibberish. Not cool. 2. He missed part of my order. 3. My friend got a shard of glass in his mouth. We noticed a chip in his glass. Dan said he'd talk to his boss and came back to say the shard matches the chip in the glass perfectly and apologized and said they'd comp part of the meal. 4. We never received a check but his manager brought me the device to swipe my card. I foolishly did without asking to see the bill. Got it texted to me when I noticed that nothing was comped AND we got charged for a pastry I didn't receive. 5. I went inside and asked for the pastry to go since we were charged for it. The manager tried to charge me for it a SECOND time. 6. My friend pointed out that nothing was comped and that isn't what they agreed to. They apologized and said they'd comp the whole meal. 7. The WHOLE charge hit my credit card today. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card company but I would definitely not return.
