After reading all of the stellar reviews of the birria pizza, I finally walked over and ordered it this evening. OMG! It was better than anticipated, full of delicious meat and cheese with a thick consommé for dipping. I ended up bringing half home. Very attentive service at the bar with friendly smiles from the entire staff throughout my meal. A definite repeat. read more

My family and I loved this place! It was our favorite food spot the entire trip. Our horchata came with a paleta which was delicious and a nice surprise. The staff and our waitress were also very kind and attentive. We got the Mexican wings, esquites and enchiladas. All the dishes tasted great, my only complaint is that the esquites didn't have any chili powder (which is what I'm used to,) it was topped with tajin only. read more

As you can tell by now, the birria pizza is my fave. I was a little sad to see the price went up (from $25 to $29) but still so worth it. Tried some new drinks this time around. The Miami vice was huge and tasted very good!! The lemonade came with a popsicle on the side, this was a nice touch. read more

Disappointed. Very expensive and nor even beans and rice with dinners. The queso and chips literally came with 8 chips. Make sure you look at bill. We had 6 people. Automatically added 20%tip. Didnt notice and then when you get the digital machine, it asks what tip you want to add. Needless to say, she got a great tip. read more

Fun place to have a date night. Music was good. We ordered the jalapeño chorizo cheese dip. I didn't taste any jalapenos but the dip was okay. We ended up getting the surf and turf was really good. The sides were okay. The sour cream didn't taste right but it could have been sitting out for a while. Service was a little slow but we had a good time here read more

After reading the reviews we decided to try this restaurant. We were not impressed. The food was good but nothing special. It's a small bar across from the beach. After eating out in Ft Lauderdale for 2 weeks this was our least favorite meal. read more

thank you for your service. I felt that some of the items on the menu was a bit overprice. elotes and garlic shrimp.

Stopped into this nice little restaurant across from the beach in Fort Lauderdale, FL at 6:30 pm. No wait, and seated right away. Really enjoyed 3 steak tacos special ($12.99), and the chicken quesadilla. Two margaritas had the right amount of alcohol (classic and strawberry on the rocks). The Esquites (elotes) was really good as well. All food was really flavorful and served hot. Staff were very attentive and friendly. No pics of food or margaritas (enjoyed it too quickly). Stop on in and enjoy!!! read more

El Taquito - Restaurant sign - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This didn't feel authentic to me and a bit of a tourist trap. I found it strange that the vegetable and meat fajitas would not come with cheese and you have to pay more for it. So no chips or salsa unless you pay for them. They have a good drink menu and their food menu should have something for everyone. Portions were on the large size, the pricing was about average. It's right on the beach so people watching is a plus but unless you sit inside during summer, you may sweat profusely. The staff was above average. Parking here can be a nightmare, be warned. read more

The food was amazinggggg. It was extremely hot outside so we immediately ordered margaritas to cool us down lol. All the flavors were a hit. This restaurant is on the corner and is really small. Everyone here is very pleasant and helpful. Did I mention the food was amazing!! Definitely recommend 10/10. I will be coming back! Ordered: Margarita flight - refreshing and just enough liquor Surf and turf fajitas - really good Churrasco quesadillas - packed with flavor topped with avocado, tomatoes and cilantro. Birria pizza - star of the show. Mouth watering, cheesy, packed with flavor 10/10. read more

We went here starving after a beach day and ordered taco salads and a Coke. We expected to pay 16 dollars (as the menu stated) and the receipt was completely different from the menu prices. We also needed our empty plates taken for more room, but when we asked the server just laughed and said okay and had no idea what she was doing. NOT TO MENTION there was an 18% service charge bumping my bill up another 11 dollars. This was outrageously priced for no reason, the portions weren't enough at all either. The service charge was explained to be as a "tip" when we asked and the actually tip button was an option on top of the involuntary "tip". I did not have a good experience and won't be coming back here again. read more

Food Is incredbly overpriced for the small portions you get. Service is a let down and don't even get me started that they add an automatic gratuity and don't tell you and expect and additional tip on top of it. Tourist trap at its best! Best advice beware and stay away! read more

Service was ok but slow. Food was just ok. The $18.00 overpriced margaritas tasted like a flavored water didn't taste alcohol. I thought adding 18% to a party of 4 was ridiculous. Won't be back read more

We absolutely loved the food. Chimichanga and chicken taco salad with chips and salsa. Very nice portions and everything was fresh. The only complaint is only fancy bottled water that was not cheap. But overall would definitely come back read more

Table for 2 on 2/6/26, 3pm, young lady took it upon herself to include 18% with zero mention. I added tip after the fact, no receipt given, Only to find out after getting emailed the information. Shady business practices and terrible service read more

Just married and we have had a long night of partying, this is the spot for a quick meal or snack to boost you up. Hungover or not. Best beachside food I've had thus far. Our waiters have been especially kind and we had a delicious margarita on the rocks, with salt rim, sublime. The chips with guac and chicharones are especially filling for an appetizer. read more

El Taquito - Margarita on the rocks with salt rim - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I highly recommend going to El Taquito! The drinks, food, and service are all phenomenal. We came here on a Sunday, and they have a deal where you can get a free shot! With our shot, we ordered the frozen margaritas. They are pricey, but they're so good! Tasty and strong. For the food, I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos. I have to say, definitely some of the best tacos around. These were delicious, and I am getting them again when I come back. Service was friendly, and atmosphere was nice, especially since this is right across the beach. Love this place! read more

FANTASTIC Mexican food. Started with the jalapeno chorizo cheese dip and chips. Chips cooked perfectly crispy. Anyone can add jalapeno to a dish but only real cooks can add the jalapeno flavor and not the heat. Shrimp quesadillas were cheesey and the shrimp were good quality shrimp. Carnitas were the best cooked pork carnitas in Broward. Their hot sauce is no joke and another great testament to the cook. It was very hot but also very tasty. Again maybe the best green hot sauce in Broward. Service was top notch. All the while sitting outside looking at the Atlantic. Its a must go to place if you want Mexican food and the beach. I live 14 miles away and this now my go too casa. read more

El Taquito is an overall decent place to grab a meal if you are craving Mexican food and are in the general area. The service here was good and you can't beat the location. It has a cool enough ambiance and vibe to it and all of the above added to the experience. The tacos are a solid choice and with everything considered, this was an overall winner. read more

Went here for a date night. I got the tequila flight which was disappointing. They only have a house tequila and the drinks were pretty sweet . I like the flavors and wish it was better tequila. For app i got the wings . They were super small and 5 wings. The flavor was decent . I was turned off after that and asked for the check read more

The service was ok, the prices were ok, the food was ok, the view was nice (the bus stopping directly in front of the establishment sucks) and the prices were ok. Nothing popped out and made me go wow, but nothing popped out and made me go running either. If you want a semi-quiet (outside of the traffic) place to have a cold drink and some ok food this is an ok place for it. Maybe it was the time of day or just an off day for them, but I wasn't excited with the visit. They also automatically add a gratuity (which is no longer a gratuity, it is an added fee, earned or not) which is usually a non-starter for me, and they add 4% if you use anything other than cash. So be warned if you do stop in, the service doesn't have to be great...you're paying for it either way! read more

Great spot for people watch, watching the ocean or grabbing a great meal. Service excellent. Food perfect. What's not to like. Enchiladas with verde sauce was delicious. Could have used a bit more heat in sauce. Would definitely go back read more

Wow all the food was soo delicious ! I will definitely return the next time I am in Florida. Birria Pizza is a must have ! My server was very attentive and pleasant. Outdoor and indoor seating available with a beach view as well. read more

This place was just OK. If you're in the area it's cool for a quick margarita and the food was okay. Also, they prefer cash or you will pay ~4% more on the total of your bill. I originally ordered the tequila sunrise as it was the only cocktail on happy hour but sent it back - there was a hair on the glass I ordered a frozen mango margarita and it was the bomb !! For food, I just had the chicken burrito. It was decent. The green sauce was pretty decent.The service was awesome though! read more

After a LONG day and a cancelled flight, found this place next to hotel. Kinda looked like the real deal- but nu uh. No free chips, salsa. Chicken enchiladas,edible, not great at all. Service sucked ! Not 1 person came by to ask how things were or to offer a refill on soda. All waiters just seemed to be busy hanging out together. read more

Had their premix frozen Margaritas: Mango, Strawberry & Passionfruit juices and purees with an extra shot. Didn't have any food. "Heard" the Chicken Tacos were good but don't know. Their drinks are definitely good, even premixed, especially with the extra shot of Cristalino. Their liquor and Craft selection is severely limited. Funny considering theyre one of those novelty Margarita spots. It's kitschy & touristy so know before you go. Perfect location, right next to Primanti Bros and across from the beach. Service was very good too. read more

Conveniently located across the street from the beach, I love to place my order from the sand and just walk across the street to pick it up and enjoy in front of the ocean. I love the shrimp quesadilla and the huge frozen margaritas! The staff here is very fun and kind, I came once for my birthday and they gave me a free shot and put the huge sombrero on me! Super fun place, the prices aren't unreasonable, and they are generous with the alcohol! read more

We saw this place driving by one day and decided to check it out for dinner because it looked authentic. It was crowded when we got there around 6:30 pm but we were able to get a table pretty quickly. They weren't as spaced out as I would like, but we were outside and even the indoor tables were well ventilated as the whole front of the building was open. The music was on the louder side, but it was mostly pop songs that I knew and enjoyed. I had a Paloma to drink, and it tasted watery but I think it was a pretty strong drink. The mojito tasted much better and had plenty of fresh mint. For food, we started with tacos. We ordered all 5 of the basic meat tacos they offered, and they forgot one (chorizo) The tacos are simple- just meat, onion, and cilantro. However the meats were full of delicious flavor, and they also brought us two sauces for them. We tried the fish tacos, which were good but nothing spectacular. We got the elotes, which were not the best I've had but still very good. After all this, we decided to try the al pastor enchiladas, which were very good. I'd say in general, the food is authentic and delicious, but not anything fancy or unexpected. The meal-especially the tacos- was enjoyable, but we were disappointed when we got the check. First, there was a large sign saying 2 for 1 drinks all day, but we were charged for all of our drinks. Secondly, we asked if they accepted credit cards and they said they did. When we received the check, there was a $5 surcharge added on for paying with a card, which would have been nice of them to mention when we asked. Thirdly, gratuity was included for our party of 2 (not mentioned on the menu), and then the receipt also had suggested tip amounts listed, as if they were trying to fool us into tipping twice. In my boyfriend's words "I liked the tacos, not the trickery" read more

El Taquito - Guacamole out of a bag. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I have enjoyed half a dozen meals here over the years. Good Mexican food. Very pleasant staff. However, on my last visit I ended up with severe food poisoning -- most likely from the carnitas chimichanga. I didn't have lunch that day. The only food I had that night was from El Taquito, so it had to be the culprit. 8 hours of vomiting. Ongoing fatigue and queasiness. Basically spent two and a half days in bed. So much for my vacation. I did call the restaurant to report what had happened. I was assured a manager would call me back. Never received a call. No apology. Despite positive experiences in the past, I won't risk ruining another vacation by eating here again. read more
