Carne Asada Taco Chips & Guac
Lindsey B.

The best taco spot in Weston! Great service and lots to try on the menu from burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and so much more. I order from here weekly!

Paloma
Anna M.

Very small portions, especially for the price, but decent food and great drinks! For happy hour, the cocktails are $10 and beer is $5. The Paloma and mango margarita were delicious! I also really enjoyed the chicken Al pastor taco. Others had the steak burrito bowls, but it was quite expensive to add extra meat, and not a ton came with it. The place is also quite small, but the decor is stunning! It is conveniently located in a large plaza with lots of parking and shops near by. Please note that they do not accept cash!

This hidden gem didn't disappoint. We were craving authentic Mexican food, specifically tacos. We felt like we were in a high end restaurant on South Beach with the Latin music played at a comfortable level and the modern Art Deco decor. The food was delicious, especially the spicy salsa on the tacos. The waitress was very polite and friendly. We look forward to trying some of the other specialty tacos on the menu on our next visit.

Oh my gosh, I just have to share this adorable little restaurant I found in Weston! It's this cozy spot that feels just like home, and let me tell you, they whip up the most incredible homemade-style tacos I've ever had. It's a tiny place, fitting only about 30 folks, but the flavors? You'd swear you were dining at a fancy five-star restaurant, with a mix of tastes that could only come from Mexico itself. And the service? Wow! Daniella took care of us, and she was just lovely. We heard she's pretty new at this, but you'd never know it! She served us with so much warmth and care, like we were part of her own family. It was such a nice touch! You absolutely have to try the steak and chicken Tinga tacos--oh my goodness, every bite is a burst of flavor! I can't recommend this place enough. Seriously, go give it a shot and make sure to ask for Daniella. You won't regret it! P.S Tuesday is $ 3 tacos.

Carnitas taco

Went for lunch and this is a very intimate, lovely restaurant with an open kitchen. As "gringos", we got help with the menu from our waiter Leo. He helped us through the process and made sure that we were taken care of. We started with chips and guacamole. Chips were crunchy and homemade, guacamole was fresh with just a hint of heat. Our carnitas tacos with salsa verde were delivered quickly and disappeared almost as fast. They were delicious and we'll be back to try more of the menu.

Quesadillas with Chicken tinga
Jacqueline M.

We don't have many spots in the area that we tend to frequent because I feel we tend to be oversaturated with lots of food chains and casual eateries so finding El Gallo was such a pleasant surprise. Decor is cute, service is friendly, food is good and the music Playlist is always on point with some old school classic spanish jams that will have you singing from your seat.

Spicy margarita
Sherry D.

The service was impeccable, the ambience was very cute trendy. The drinks were Very well made actually crafted . The food... all three of us ordered something different plus a salsa flight and chips and guacamole we all enjoyed every single thing. Very fresh very good.

Guacamole was outstanding
Angelo M.

Really fresh food well prepared super tasty. I will definitely eat here again. The staff was also super friendly.

Shrimp Tacos
Melanie B.

Fresh tacos served in a very friendly atmosphere. The guacamole and salsas were also flavorful. Like other reviewers mentioned, the tacos are on the small side. Went on a weekend and they weren't busy. Would definitely go back.

Quesadilla - perfectly prepped for take out

The place is cute. But food was blend, tasted nothing like Mexican food. It's like chipotle with nice decor.

Negroni Weston - chicken Milanesa Parmigiana

Negroni Weston

3.7(162 reviews)
2.6 mi

I've been writing restaurant reviews for years all over the U.S. Mostly restaurants because let's…read morebe honest... food is my love language. Good food and good service can heal emotional damage, lower blood pressure, and probably save marriages. So after seeing Negroni sitting there in Weston Town Center looking all fancy and mysterious for what feels like 37 years, my wife and I finally decided to go. No kids. No responsibilities. Just two tired adults escaping life for a couple hours. We walk in and immediately the place looked beautiful. Nice aesthetics, trendy vibe, dim lights, everybody dressed like they either own crypto or sell real estate in Brickell. I said okay this place got potential. Then the hostess sat me at the smallest table known to mankind. Ladies and gentlemen... I am 6'2. This table was built for borrowers from The Borrowers movie. My knees were touching the wall, the chair, the table, and possibly another dimension. I felt like I was serving detention for crimes I didn't commit. At one point I think my rib cage made eye contact with the candle. But I stayed positive because sometimes suffering leads to greatness. Jesus carried the cross. I carried cramped legs. I ordered the 14 oz ribeye medium well. The steak came out with three sauces like they were presenting evidence in court. This one is chimichurri. This one is peppercorn. This one is liquid mortgage payment. The steak itself was good. Tender, soft cut, flavorful enough... but not $110 dinner and hidden fees flavorful. For that price I expected the cow to personally walk out, thank me for my service, and salute my family. My wife ordered the pork belly bao and honestly that thing slapped harder than my grandmother's flip flop in 1997. Very good. Then my genius self decided to order sushi at a steakhouse. Because apparently I enjoy making questionable life decisions. The sushi roll had a little spice to it, and it was decent, but halfway through eating it I realized this is exactly how people end up in documentaries. Now let's discuss the music. WHY WAS THE MUSIC SO LOUD?! I wasn't eating dinner I was fighting for survival at Ultra Music Festival. I tried talking to my wife: BABE HOW'S YOUR FOOD?! She screamed back: WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME?! The couple next to us probably thought we were renewing divorce papers. Every time the bass dropped my soda moved across the table by itself like a paranormal activity scene. And the waitress bless her heart she moved around the restaurant like she was late for a flight at Fort Lauderdale airport. Need anything? What are you drinking? Here's your food. Ma'a slow down. Build a relationship. Tell me Something. I felt like I was ordering dinner from one of my cousins during a family reunion: Aight here damn. Then came the bill. $110. For a steak. A sushi roll. Bao buns. Two sodas. And a random service fee that appeared out of nowhere like an unexpected tax from the Roman Empire. I asked myself: What exactly are we servicing here besides my financial decline? Overall, the place is beautiful, the food is decent, and if you enjoy dining inside what sounds like a Fast & Furious nightclub while folded into a child-sized table this is your place. Would I come back? Probably not. But will I remember it? Absolutely. Mostly because my knees are still recovering.

I went for weekend brunch, I haven't seen too much info on what they offer so I hope this is…read morehelpful to people. There seemed to be only one server, but plenty of staff (busser, hostess, etc.) So sometimes service got slow, and others it was pretty quick. Everyone was nice, but at one point I did have to ask them to bring out more plates and tortilla shells after no one had noticed for 5-6 minutes (which they then did promptly). When we got there the hostess told us it was brunch only, so if you're wanting to go on a weekend during brunch time I guess you can't order off the regular menu (fine with us, we were there to try brunch). There were a lot of options packed into a small space. It looks deceivingly small. They have a small carving station with flap meat, grilled chicken, and chorizo. They have the size of flap meat down perfectly- when it comes out, you will only wait for a person or two in front of you at most, it runs out in about 15 minutes, and then they're getting a fresh piece. Cycled often. Flap meat was a little chewy, could be improved if they cut up two thin slices instead of one thick one. I enjoyed it. The sushi area had two mixed rolls per container (I wish they weren't, I would have eaten a few more if I could grab one with just shrimp tempura), corvina ceviche (very good), and tuna tar tar (in a great soy sauce mixture). It also had soy sauce, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. They also had some typical breakfast offerings- scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages; salad options; pastries (different types of croissants, dinner rolls); huge balls of mozzarella; gyoza; ravioli in a vodka sauce (I think); sweet-and-sour pork; olive skewers; caprese skewers; baby back ribs; marinated mushrooms; pizza (cheese and pepperoni, small bites so you won't fill up and can try a little of everything); salmon toast with cream cheese; and probably my favorite, a little taco corner. The taco corner had both grilled chicken and al pastor. The al pastor had a very slight spicy kick to it, no pineapple; it was fine, but I preferred the grilled chicken. The onions and cilantro were mixed already, which I think was great but could be off-putting to someone who has that soap-cilantro-taste gene. I almost didn't notice the dessert station, but when I saw someone with chocolate strawberries- I found it! They have a chocolate fountain with strawberries and marshmallows, and some small bites that included a cookie with a sort of dulce de leche filling, a chocolate ganache pastry, and little cheesecake bites. The restaurant is small and maybe a bit too dark for daytime. The layout was sometimes hard to manage. The main table ran along the main bar but was lower, and then additional things (like the pastries) were stacked along the actual bar which made it kind of a nuisance to reach over everything for (but to be fair, I'm short). If anyone was standing at the carving station, you couldn't get to the sushi table until they moved. The dessert station being out of the way was fine, but if you go you will miss it if you don't look for it (it's by the small bar behind the hostess stand). I can't give half stars, and I was really thinking that this is a 3.5 star experience, but I went with 3 because of the fees. They add a 2.8% fee for the staff (I don't remember what they called it) and an automatic 18% gratuity. (I'm sure this is listed on the menu, but you only get a drink menu for brunch). I usually tip 20-25% anyway, so i can't really explain why this irked me so much, and it wasn't really the gratuity that bothered me (though if service had been bad I guess it would have), but the 2.8% annoyed me. It's been years since I've worked in restaurants, and I'm pretty sure everyone is making minimum wage or close to it, and I know the servers have to tip out other staff, so I guess i just feel like that fee is something the restaurant should be factoring in as a cost of business. I don't think anyone would bat an eye if brunch was $36-37 vs $35. To add it on as an additional fee seems disingenuous. Ultimately for 2 brunches ($35 each) and 2 palomas (I think $16 each), our tab came to $128 (taxes, fee, gratuity). I think this is a one-and-done for me. Most of the food was fine, but it was just okay. If I had a friend that wanted to try it, I'd go back but wouldn't search it out myself.
