I will start out by saying the service was excellent and our server was very attentive. However, the food was mediocre and overpriced. The chicken was seasoned with unappealing flavors and the steak was stringy and drenched in some type of mysterious liquid. Overall, I do not recommend and giving 2 stars instead of 1 for the great service.

La comida y el service son excelentes!!!!! La atención de jetsika e ybeth espectacular! Definitivamente volveré a venir ! Lo recomiendo

If you're looking for some really good Peruvian food I definitely recommend this location. They have a really good happy hour special with $3 draft beers that you can't beat. Their chicken is probably their best dish, definitely check this place out if you're looking to find some authentic Peruvian food. They offer outside seating on the stop is super nice, it's a great place for happy hour or to grab dinner with friends

Great Pisco

Amazing Peruvian food and drinks Great service! Good $$ Cozy and family oriented place Lomo saltado, ceviche, jalea And Pisco drinks were amazing We returned next day to get more lomo saltado

Came to this place as it is well located near Locatel in Hallandale beach. Wanted to try their Parijuela soup and actually it was quite good.... The seafood was generous and cooked "al dente" as it should be.... For me, needed more spices to give more flavor and maybe a little more consistency.... But not bad at all.... Also ordered a corvina ceviche that was also generous and quite tasty... maybe missing some spice to give it a better kick!! My partner had the roasted chicken that looked very good... They do have diet coke on a can which is much appreciated!!! The place is clean and service was quite good.... Will come back!!

Visited this restaurant for lunch, it's a hidden gem in Hallandale. Plenty of parking on the plaza where is located. I was greatly impressed by the food. The menu has a wide variety of Peruvian dishes. Seafood was really good. I tried the corvina dish with a salad and as a side order the ceviche. The food was very tasty and delicious. The ceviche had a lemon sauce and the veggies were soft, the fish tasted very fresh. My party and I also tried the "picarones", as dessert, they were very similar to donuts but sweeter and more crispier. Great prices for great quality dishes. We really Enjoyed all the food and trying the Peruvian cuisine.

Visité por primera vez este restaurant la atencion de anthony y jetsy fueron excelentes, la comida deliciosa recomiendo mucho la parrilla marina y lomo Saltado asi tambien el ceviche trio y los pisco sour. Prometo volver

Ceviche de Camarones - Shrimp Ceviche

We were a group of 5. We ordered Shrimp Ceviche, Avocado Slices, Seafood Rice, Fried Whole Snapper, Fried Whole Snapper with Garlic Sauce and Fried Sweet Plantain. Food was good. Portions were standard. Fish was fried well but under seasoned. Garlic sauce was very tasty. Service was horrible. Server was great before food arrived. After we got our food, he was serving other tables and taking phone orders. We had to flag him down for EVERYTHING we needed. He apologizes but says he has too many tables. Um. Staffing is not my problem as a customer. This is not a big place. He certainly was going in and out to the other tables consistently. We get the check. Gratuity at 20% has already been added. We question the server. Gratuity is added automatically to groups of 4 or more. I have heard of this for groups of 5 or more. And I usually spy this within the fine print on the menu. We didn't bother to question further. We paid and we won't be back. I could stomach the automatic gratuity if we'd had good service. We did not. I had high hopes but......I don't recommend this spot.

The food is delicious service awesome I'm really happy to find this restaurant in my family trip

From the moment you walk inside to The Tayta PERUVIAN RESTAURANT you are greeted with a traditional warmed !Taken to our seats and offered water and a drinks menu. Then the food!!! Absolutely amazing. Evett was adorable full of personality plus. Her customer Service was impeccable and knowledgeable about the whole menu . She explained all the dishes to my friends because was the first time. I invited my friend front America Airlines Flight Attendant was the first time they test Peruvian food they was fascinating with the passion pisco sour # the ceviche#arroz con Mariscos trio was wowww! Super fresh and delicious. They can stop to compliment the food and the service. We love to travel different places and test different foods but this Restaurant El Tayta is absolutely delicious food. Definitely We coming back to this wonderful place. Great for group Michel Yehezkel

This place was really good, clean. If you want to eat something tasty you can try a "jalea" which is a mix of seafood: shrimp, fish and calamar We also love the "tostado". Service was very good. The personal explained everything. We will come back.

Horrible picarones. Dry and tasted like they made it out a box

I'm an omakase lover so I know fresh fish when I taste it. Barra Callao is as fresh as it gets. And their small intimate space with the chefs counter makes for a lovely experience that is fun yet relaxed. We looked over the menu and basically wanted everything so we just told the chef to start sending us dishes until we tapped out. And that is what he did. I wish I could say I had a favorite dish but they were all delicious. You really can't go wrong. I'm already going back next week to try the rest of the menu. They don't know it yet, but I'm about to be one of their new regulars.

We did ride share to the restaurant, arrived 20 minutes early and were melting when they opened the door. Staff came to the door at 4:45 and said they were setting up but didn't offer to let us wait inside. Food was very good but hard to enjoy your meal drenched in sweat. Very disappointing after looking forward to the experience all week. Understood this was not a traditional restaurant but the experience could easily have been better. Definitely need to explain the opening policy or provide a waiting area out of the weather.

Really flavorful, no stringy piece at all and fresh! *Chaufa 7 Tables - this was on the specials so no price listed but we knew it would be premium given that it was filet mignon, mussels, shrimp, and chicken!

Stumbled across this place in Hollywood completely by chance. I was craving Peruvian, searched…read morenearby, and this place popped up. I'll be honest, when we pulled in, we almost turned around. The restaurant looked like it was under renovation, and it was completely empty. But let this be a reminder: never judge a restaurant by first impressions. We gave it a shot, and I'm so glad we did. The woman taking care of us was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with my wife's special requests. The service was warm and welcoming from start to finish. Now for the food... wow. The Lomo Saltado was great. The steak was cooked perfectly, the flavors were outstanding, and everything tasted fresh. Even the salad was excellent, which isn't something I usually rave about. Funny part. When we walked in, I thought, "Uh-oh... why is nobody here?" But as soon as we finished our food, it was like someone flipped a switch. The place started filling up, and by the time we walked out, it was packed. I guess we just arrived at the perfect time! It does look like they're expanding and renovating the restaurant, which is great to see. I'm not just going to tell you to try Kausitas.... I'm going to tell you to run there. Outstanding food, a hidden gem that's absolutely worth discovering. We'll definitely be back.

My family and I have frequented this restaurant many times because the food is genuinely very good…read more Unfortunately, after our most recent experience, we decided we won't be returning. We visited on Tuesday night as a party of 7 (5 adults and 2 children), and we were actually the only customers dining inside the restaurant. I had called ahead beforehand to confirm they were open and let them know the size of our party. When we arrived, the table was nicely prepared, which we appreciated. The food itself was great. That has never been the issue. What completely changed the experience for us was the automatic 25% gratuity added to the bill. When I politely asked why the gratuity was so high, I was told their structure is based on party size: 18% for 3+ people, 20% for 5+, and 25% for 7+. While the receipt does mention that parties of 3 or more are subject to a service charge, nowhere are those percentages clearly disclosed beforehand. A 25% automatic gratuity for a table of 7, especially in an otherwise empty restaurant with average service, feels excessive and misleading. For context, I am not someone who refuses to tip. I regularly tip 18-20%, even when service is mediocre, because I understand this is how servers make a living. But customers should be allowed to decide whether service warrants 25%, not have it automatically imposed without clear transparency. What made it worse was the dismissive attitude we received when simply asking about it. Again, the food was good. That's what makes this disappointing. But good food alone does not make up for poor customer experience and lack of transparency. Will not be returning.

What happened??!! Just got there and it's closed!! Signs off!! This hurts my soulll!! Hands down…read morethe best Puerto Rican food in south Florida

In short : Come for the authentic Puerto Rican comida and stay for the beautiful atmosphere…read more It was my father's birthday and I wanted to take him for Puerto Rican food. He is Puerto Rican :) and we do cook some but not all of it . Anyway... Backstory: Chef Iram Ayala was born and raised in Caguas, Puerto Rico. This is considered Jibaro territory and they are known to be great cooks ! He has worked in many high end hotels such at The Breakers, Ritz Carlton etc. He started in the Hollywood farmers market and his comida became so popular that he opened this restaurant in honor of his grandmother Sara. Wela is short for Abuela which means grandmother in Spanish . Atmosphere: it's a tiny space located directly off Hollywood blvd but hard to miss because of the colorful storefront. Inside it feels as if you are stepping in Puerto Rico. Taino artwork is all over the walls ( Taínos are the indigenous people that all Puerto Ricans descended from). It's breathtaking. Appetizer: We ordered beef empanadillas (what Ricans call empanadas ) , Alcapurrias, and croquetas de mofongo. The empanadillas were fresh and came with a mayo ketchup sauce. Alcapurrias are specific to PR cuisine and they are a plantain fritter stuffed with whatever meat you desire . We had beef and they disappeared instantly . The croquetas stole the show in my opinion. They are unique in that they are made out of mofongo, stuffed with cheese (or whatever you want ) and served with a guava salsa. They were fire! Get these! Dinner: My father had the chuletas with arroz con gondules , my son and nephew both had steak and I had a pernil mofongo. Let me just take a moment to say this mofongo was probably one of the best I've had in a looonnngggg time . It wasn't dry.. it was so flavorful and the pernil was amazing. I had to stop myself for eating it all. Everyone liked their meats but the arroz con gondules was a bit lacking . It could've had more gondules and some green olives and/or pork. I'm used to My dad and Abuelita making it so flavorful so my standards are high on that side dish. For dessert we had the homemade tres leches . It was light , almost too light . Service was good.. our waitress was very nice. Overall I would definitely come back again.. Especially when they have their live music .
