Great food! There were 6 of us and we were all happy with our meals. The sign says they are family owned.

Churrasco steak at the bar
Ricardo J.

I walked in on a Saturday around 4pm and the place was pretty empty, one table of 8 ppl and one table of 2. There was one guy working in the front, he was pretty nice and attentive. I ordered churrasco, rice and beans, and sweet plantains. The steak was very well seasoned, this place is pretty consistent with the hood flavor that they provide. The rice and beans were good but nothing to write home about. The margarita was only ok, but I understand this is not a drinking spot so I'm ok with that.

Shrimp street tacos with two corn tortillas.
MaryJo M.

Nice little place where attention is completely to the guest. Well priced meals, didn't see any lunch specials, but they do have happy hour. One menu is Cuban food and the of the menu is Mexican food. My suggestion would be street taco should have two corn tortilla. I asked for extra tortillas because my food was falling out of a single tortilla. More variety of hot sauce would be wonderful.

Croquettes
Brian R.

In this humble plaza off the freeway in Ft Lauderdale is this fantastic place where the quality of the food will surprise and amaze you. The croquettes are dense, moist and flavorful and the chicken was amazing! My burrito was the kind of burrito you crave when you haven't had one in a while. Talked to the owner for a good while about sports and why we were visiting area. Problem with a place you fall in love with is not being able to give regular business to them on account of you be2500 miles away! I'd recommend to anyone living in the area! I think they thrive on "regulars" so if you're local, support this great small business with a cozy touch, like visiting someone's home. Or if you're visiting or to the folks flying out of FLL like us, I'd encourage you to stop by! You won't be disappointed!!

Don Nono!!!!

To be clear, the one-star rating I am giving Don Lolo's is for the aesthetic...it's ok on the inside. However, we are to rate food and service, and on both counts, Don Lolo's fails. First, I ordered a lentil soup that unapologetically never arrived - the waitress was upset that I asked after my missing soup....smh! Now, this spot is listed as a "Mexican/Cuban restaurant. Well, nope, that's not what it is at all. It's more a Mexican restaurant with some mexicanized Cuban sides. Like what Cuban restaurant does not serve arroz moro, and replaces it with Mexican yellow rice. Next, I ordered ropa vieja, or shredded beef...the beef was there but not the shred, at all. I got huge chunks of meet drowned in sauce, begging to be shredded. There is nothing worse than a sloppy restaurant, and Don Lolo's is exactly that, SLOPPY!!! PS: Though the prices are reasonable, I recommend spending your money elsewhere. Stay away from Don Nono's!!!!!

Palomilla Steak

It was shortly after 8 pm and we were on our way to try Señor Cafe, arrived at 8:30 but they close the kitchen 30 minutes before their 9 PM closing time. Back to the drawing board.... Don Lolo's was open until 10 pm, and only 7 minutes away. What a treat! There was one other table seated, seems to be a trend at late hours. The lighting was dimmer but comfortable, and overall very clean. Their food was so fresh!! I ordered the Palomilla steak, it was marinated and cooked to perfection. The Salsa did not taste like it came from a jar. The black beans and plantains were amazing. The rice was perfectly cooked and fluffy. I could easily become a regular if I lived locally. I still can't wait to try Señor cafe...stay tuned.

Palomilla Steak and Margarita
Maria R.

We very much enjoyed our visit to Don Lolo's. The service was great and very accommodating to our requests. The food was excellent and the Margarita's were delicious. Will visit again when we are in the in the neighborhood.

OMG!!!! This by far has been the best Cuban food I've ever had. I ordered the palomilla steak which was served with white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains while my brother opted for the breaded chicken breast which was also served with white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. The steak was juicy and delicious but the breaded chicken breast was my favorite. It was seasoned and fried to perfection. I told myself I'll try to make the same meal and if it doesn't work out, I'll stop by Don Lolo's where I know it'll be done right. Our bill came out to be $43 and some change, very reasonable. The customer service was on point! Please stop in and support this business, you won't be disappointed.

Great place to have a delicious Puerto Rican meal…read more Service was fast and efficient, no wait time when I arrived. Monday evening, holiday. Food was delicious, from appetizer to main entree. Recommendations were made and I went with all of them. Pork belly chunks that were seasoned with salt and pepper, and lemon was added afterward for a little more punch in the flavor. Shrimp creole was delicious. The red beans and rice mix makes you want to keep having more and mixing it all together gives you a flavorful punch in your mouth. Mofongo, aka , masked green plantains are only for those looking for something a little dry with flavor. Mines had steak and it was drizzled with mojito sauce and oil. Our server was excellent and recommended flipping it over to have the juice flow into the mofongo which she went ahead and did.. steak was well done and when mixed in had a great combination of flavor.. Ambiance feels like a local P.R spot, flags, art, music, and very fun ambiance. Enjoyed it. Definitely when I'm in the area will come again..

I visited el Bayu de la wela sara with a lot of hype and expectations, which were sadly not met…read more The service overall was A+ 5 out of five. The food was mixed . - Alcapurrias : 5 stars crunchy, juicy, proper size and flavor. - pork chunks mofongo: 4 stars, great flavor. Huge pork portion. - shrimp mofongo creole sauce: 3 stars sauce was on the saltier side and once it reached the bottom of the mongo it was "just too much" - churrasco (kids): 3 stars. A bit overcooked (kid refused to eat it) but it was decent flavor and tenderness. - beans: 3 stars, too salty - white rice : 1 star, felt dry and grainy like day old rice from the fridge.
