Ok. Don't let the outside appearance steer you away. At first, I said, what the heck... La Granja is such a wonderful spot with a friendly crew running it. The food is delicious, fresh and authentic. My favorite part or this restaurant is their salsa and sauce station, where the guests can fill up their own little cups of salsas and spicy sauces to go, or to dine in. I had the steak meal, with rice, beans and sweet plantains, it was flavorful and everything was well seasoned. Definitely come here if you're looking for a meal that will for sure fill you and not break your wallet read more

My husband went to buy me chicken noodle soup and when he came back one of the soup was just chicken and broth in one and chicken and potatoes in the other. I sent him to go back to go fix our order. The manager told him that how are they supposed to know that there is no noodles when THEY PACKED THE ORDER mind you. The manager gave him a hard time with the refund. The manager is very unprofessional and incompetent. How does your staff pack two orders of soup and not know that there is no noodles in the soup. They knew and still gave us the order without saying anything. Then act surprised when a customer comes back to get the refund. Thats absolutely ridiculous, I would not recommend any one to go here unless your willing to deal with the incompetence if they mess up your order. I would give this place less than one star if that were possible read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid. Dozens if not over 100 times since around 2008. Not sure why I haven't reviewed this besides the fact it's been about a year since I've indulged. It's latin/Peruvian food. You get your food fast but I wouldn't consider it a fast-food restaurant if that makes sense. #1 thing that I've noticed is their consistency. Shrinkflation hasn't hit here yet. In my opinion you're getting the same Kg of meat, same size, cooked the same, same amount of seasoning, same temperature every time. The same cup of rice and the same semi-watery black beans. Trust me, it all pairs well with eachother. I love their sauce bar! I'm an onion guy and love the fact they offer sauces with a heavy amount of diced onions. Their mild and hot sauces add a creamy flavor with a touch of heat. 4 stars isn't being too nice or too stingy on a rating. You need to try this place, or one of their many locations. It's the exact hole in the wall you're looking for. I absolutely love this place and wouldn't change a thing. You can tell it's a local favorite as it's always crowded, both with dine in and take out. Prices went with the flow of the economy. It's crept up over the years but so has everything, can't complain about that. Overall, I certify that this place is great and you won't be disappointed if you like Latin food. read more

I went to go grab a meal in store for my grandmother and I today ( 01/31/2026 ) at 4pm and the staff management was truly the worst I have ever seen and experienced. Every individual I had interacted with that took and "assisted" me with my order was so rude and arrogant as if I was a walking threat in their restaurant. I will not lie, the food is wonderful but their staff management and overall customer service is absolutely horrendous. This is the first review I have ever wrote and left on any establishment, but I was utterly amazed with my experience ordering food in their restaurant. I am very unsure how they even have consistent walk in costumers with their attitudes. read more

La Granja which is Spanish for The Farm, is a chain of Peruvian restaurants that was founded in Aruba by chef Gustavo Bartra in 1993. Opened in 1995, this location in a former Taco Bell is the very first in Florida. From here they have grown to 50 restaurants from Miami to Orlando. They are now the largest Peruvian restaurant chain outside of Peru. La Granja offers inexpensive lunch specials. Popular menu items include ceviche, rotisserie chicken with rice and beans, grilled steak, and seafood platters. Meat is seasoned with their secret blend of Peruvian spices. Sides include fried yucca, fried bananas, tostones, and sweet potato fries. Family meals start at $44.25 and include several meats, large sides, and sodas. Try an Inca Cola, a delicious Peruvian soda similar to a cream soda. Dessert options include flan, tres leches, rice pudding, or chocolate cake. The inside of the restaurant is small and clean with bright yellow and red brick walls. You can sit at tables or in booths. I tried to order the number 17 mixed sauté with beef, chicken, and noodles but somehow ended up with a number 11 with mixed sauté streak, chicken, rice, and French fries. It was still good and I tried dipping the fries in some of the different sauces. The portion was huge and I Ioved the flavor of the meat. The beef was very tender. I didn't have room for dessert but the chocolate cake looked good. If you are looking for fast and wallet friendly meal, La Granda is a great choice. read more

This was our go to place for delicious roasted chicken for years. Unfortunately the portions and quality have fallen off. Hope they get it back together as I've found better portions and quality in Sunrise on Pine Island Road and Sunrise Blvd. read more

This is the number 6 lunch special. The fish had good flavor and was tasty. The rice and beans are the best of any mainstream Latin restaurant, with some of the best sauces in the game! read more

Have you ever felt sick of everything in your area and want a change to your local restaurant options. Well, that was me last night. Being unsure on where to go, Pops and I decided to take a drive to our local La Granja! Going inside, there was a good amount of seating and limited wait. We ordered a half chicken with rice & beans and plantains with 2 drinks for $15! Moving into my review, all these years, I thought la brasa and pollo tropical was the best in terms of quality and bang for your buck, but I was wrong. That 1/2 chicken was perfectly seasoned, possessed addictively spiced skin, and super tender! The yellow rice was fluffy, black beans creamy, and ripe sweet plantains. Moreover, there were plenty of tasty sauce options from the cilantro green sauce to creamy white sauce and their spicy red. Overall, highly impressed with my visit to La Granja, and would give our experience a 5/5! read more

The service is probably the worst I've seen in years, and that's tough and tragic for me to say. I've been coming here for almost 20 years and though the service has steadily been decreasing, today was too funny to be true. No compromise, no smile, no thank you or please come again. Wow, that felt super unwelcoming to say the least, definitely won't be coming back. It wasn't because they increased their prices (significantly), it wasn't because the quality of the food went from mid-high to low, it wasn't because I craved them that I came in. I was simply starving, and though McDonald's is literally right down the street from this location, 1/4 of their price, and pretty good customer service, but because at least through everything I genuinely believed the service was pleasantly decent. It has always felt welcoming, even if you weren't up to come anymore. Nope, that feeling has been taken away too. I'm very disappointed at this location, they're right off of Atlantic Blvd, across the street from a gas station in the city of Margate. Now something that is good, is the atmosphere the customers bring, when I say the customers who come are inclusive and kind, my words do no justice. Good people who've had la granja in the past and had an amazing experience, always come back. They come back grateful and with a smile. I met the sweetest couple visiting from Cali, may their trip back home be safe and they have a beautiful holiday, as well as the family and young gentleman who held the door for me, god bless them. The people in the line, were kind, and made room, etc. the customers who come in will make you feel better then the customer service experienced today. So that would be the only reason to come in, as unfortunate as that is for me to say, it's the truth. I'm half Peruvian, so I cook the exact same things they "sell", however their food is no longer authentic. Trust me I can tell. Their service was decently good, at least it was. :( I'd say try the other location down the street, that's right you heard me there's more, one off of 441 & Atlantic Blvd. buo be honest it's becoming increasingly difficult to find good authentic Peruvian food. You could say I'm picky, you could say I've refined my tastebuds, but trust me I know the recipe. No one follows the recipe anymore, and THAT's what makes it authentic. When they make it right, it doesn't matter the price, the look, shoot the service can even mean mug me, but the food will always have me coming back. Not this time, and sadly this will be my last. There's no need yo be a grinch, we already have one. It was a good run la granja, I hope y'all do better and figure it out. You guys use to be the number one spot to stop by. Best of luck everyone, happy holidays! read more

I've always bought chicken soup from the Pembroke Pines location but now I moved to margate and I went to the one on 6599 W Atlantic Blvd. It was terrible!!! Watered down to the point of no color or taste, one piece of chicken, two small pieces of carrots and one piece of potato. It was truly so bad I could not eat it and threw it out. My son ordered chicken breast and it had so many red onions on top you could barely see the chicken. Almost $9.00 for the soup and $15.95 for the chicken. I will not be going back to this location. read more

This place was such a treat while visiting Florida. My sister in law lives in Coral Springs and she said I had to try it. I ordered the 1/2 lb steak platter, my sister in law ordered chicken and steak mixta platter and my man got the steak fajitas. Everything was tasty and had big portions! One plate can feed two people. I highly recommend this place and for a family order the family platter for $47. They even have a drive thru which is super cool. read more

Customer service is not La Granja's strong suit. The ladies taking your order barely speak while you're placing it. Their roasted chicken is delicious and reasonably priced, which, if I had to guess, is what keeps them in business. As for the restaurant itself, it's nothing special--a bit dingy, in fact. Overall, this place is decent for a quick meal to go. read more

Food: 0/10 Service: 0/10 Ambiance: 0/10 Price: 0/10 My first time trying spanish food. Very dirty and filthy restaurant. The a/c was off and there's water leaking everywhere throughout the restaurant. No warning signs. Food was the worst. No flavors. Fish sandwich was very bland and didn't have much flavors. Seafood gumbo wasn't tasty at all. Very low quality. Very pricy too. The customer service was bad. The girl at the front register seemed very moody. Too many employees but barely any customers. read more

I eat La Granja every time I'm in Florida, and then I crave it for weeks when I leave. This is your no frills, local, authentic spot for really flavorful food. I've been to four different locations over the last few months and each one holds the same, consistent quality. My favorite dishes are the fish and beef. Surprisingly, I haven't ordered a chicken plate (yet!). I always get every sauce/onion offering. Trust me, they pack a punch and bring a jolt of flavor to the dish. I was very apprehensive on my first visit because I'm not a huge onion eater, but believe me, you're going to want to get extras! I love La Granja and I hope they make their way north! Run, don't walk here. read more

Man I gotta say, after a hard gym workout or when you're starving La Granja is the perfect place to eat. Been here a couple times in the last few weeks I went once with my mom just now & with my wife last week. There is definitely something about the yellow rice that I really like... maybe it's MSG? I'm kidding. Or maybe it's a little oil & a hint of salt for old-school culinary. Both times I got the boneless chicken breast and then my wife did the same. Today my mom picked the steak which is number 8 on the menu and she gave me her onions! I felt so blessed, lol. The flavor, the way the chicken is grilled with the char is so juicy along with the tenderness of the meat... man you can get lost in a whirlwind of calories here my guy(or gal)! This La Granja location has all what you could ask for. The only thing I notice about this location is the tables are set up uncomfortably close together other than that there really isn't much to complain about as I enjoy scarfing down the food like I haven't eaten since Michael Jordan was a rookie with a full head of hair! read more

Please don't come here, they use a cloth mop to clean the grills where they grill the chicken and then they put it back on the floor where the cooks walk up and down. And sometimes they put it in a garbage can. Very disgusting. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Called about an incorrect order, as well as undercooked noodles that I paid $22 for (which I was willing to bring back). I placed the order on DoorDash which I understand but at the end of the day DoorDash only delivered it. Called to come back in and get something else instead however the person that answered the phone was so rude and disrespectful. They said " I don't have time for this, call DoorDash". I explained to them that I was only trying to bring the food back in and get something else instead, but he said I don't have time for this and hung up the phone. When I called back immediately after I got no response. Terrible customer service, the employees need training, definitely will not be patronizing this business ever again. read more

Went during lunch and it was busy but they are fast! Good customer service. There is around five different LaGranjas in a 4 mile radius of me and this is by far the best one! They have a decent seating area inside, and they're always busy. Inside is pretty clean too. The sauces are so delicious! read more

I went on a Friday evening the place was very busy. I didn't have to wait long and the cashier seemed sweet. I ordered the sautéed beef. It came upto $19.something. it was delicious but very skimpy on the beef. The picture shows plenty of sliced beef at least a half pound. I cut maybe a 1/4 pound. I had mostly juice on onions. I won't order it again, it wasn't enough meat to ask for 20 bucks. read more

La Granja Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Margate, Florida

The food and sauces are always so good here. I get cravings for the green sauce and struggle to order anything except the Lomo Saltado. Soooo good. I almost forgot to take pictures AGAIN today. I can't help it, I see and smell the Lomo and everything goes blank. Next thing I know, I am looking at an empty plate and kicking myself for forgetting pictures again. Today, I remembered a few bites in. I order mine extra saucy (jugoso). Then I put the onions in green sauce and squeeze lime over it. Mouth watering. The restaurant and ambience are blah, this is just a place you go to get down on your food in a fast, very casual setting. Good value prices as well. read more

If you want Latin American rotisserie chicken this is the place to go not I repeat not the La Granja on 441 just south of Atlanta. That one is terrible however if you're willing to drive another five minutes on Atlantic this one is what it supposed to be. Good rotisserie chicken true yellow rice not plain old white rice and portions that are supposed to be not half portions. I was at the one on 441 last week my salad was barely half filled, The rice was plain old white rice not yellow rice and the quarter chicken white was more like an eighth chicken and was almost in edible it was so dry and burnt Not the case At the location on Atlantic Avenue in Margate. read more

I love me some La Granja! I always get the same thing, and so does my hubby. We get the chicken breast meal with yellow rice, black beans, plantains, and your choice of drink. They have several yummy sauces and different marinated toppings you can add to your meal. I am obsessed with the green sauce. I don't know what it is, but it's damn good! Whether you eat there or get your food to go, it's amazing! I've been eating here at this location for at least 10 years. I want to say 15. Love love love! read more

Customer service I live a few minutes away and wanted to preorder a few family meals so it could cut down on the wait time. I called the store 6 times and no one answered. When I arrived at the restaurant it was not even busy. I called the store while inside and the employees just let it ring. No one cares to answer. So one point out the window for that. Second, no one speaks English here. I tried my best to explain my order to the cashier and she still got my order wrong. Another point deducted. The food The food is well seasoned and reasonably priced. If they can manage to get your order right, it's worth the wait. And they have this tasty red sauce that goes well with pretty much everything. Picture included read more

So I was a little too lazy to cook dinner last night. Story of my life! but as much as a foodie as I am, I simply can't afford to go out to eat at a full-service restaurant every other night. Today I opted for a cheaper, and much closer to home option. This restaurant is located in Atlantic Boulevard and it is a bit inconvenient to get into the parking lot. it is right there and it is tight. It can get pretty congested if there are more than two cars in and out at the same time. Not to mention that when a car is pulling out, and a car is coming in through Atlantic Boulevard you can get stuck waiting in the street thus clogging up traffic as well. I have seen this on weekends when I drive past. It is one of the reasons why this particular location does not come to mind when I need to find something quick to eat. Once in the restaurant we looked at the menu. I wanted to buy the family meal for the four of us I only saw one option for $36 which includes half a chicken, some chicken breast fillets,, and a half a pound of steak, plus a couple of sides. It was a little more meat that we needed. I asked the cashier if there was a way he would be willing to sell me a whole rotisserie chicken with rice and beans. He said they have that in the menu, which I did not see anywhere so they need to put this out there. If it hadn't been raining I would've just gone elsewhere. Besides the chicken, rice and beans I also got order of their steamed potatoes. Service was fast and I really love the sauces they offer. I don't know their names, but there is a green one that taste amazing, very citrusy and salty. I also love the different onion relishes they offer. The food was good and was made better by this sauces. Other than the parking lot being a little inconvenient, this is a great place to come and have a quick meal. But beware even though this is a fast food feel restaurant, some of the dishes can cost as much as the full service sit down place. read more

I've been eating here for years. Delicious Peruvian food served quickly. Each meal has giant proportions at economical prices. They serve freshly grilled chicken, but my favorite dish is the steak. The meal comes with plantains, yellow rice, and black beans. Try each of the four different sauces and add a side of marinated onions. This location is very popular, so you might find yourself waiting a bit. But the services tries to accommodate its customers as best as they can, so be patient. The food is worth the wait! read more

I love this place and I crave this place every time I'm back in Florida. I love that this place is a no frills, no thrills joint that will serve you big portions for a small price. Chicken here is delicious and the beans and rice served as complement to the chicken is perfect. Come hungry when you order here, a meal can easily feed two. read more

Slow service! Not sure how long it take to serve premade chicken and rice but the food was good as any other location!

On vacation for the holidays and was introduced to this restaurant. I would give it 5 stars but there's a weird smell that is not food related that violates your nostrils when you first walk in. That aside, the food is wonderment! I tried the Garlic Fish and a seafood platter that came with fish nuggets, calamari and shrimp. Every bite was full of happiness! We are definitely going back before we leave out to go back to Atlanta. They have multiple options of sauces and garnish to add to the food. Each one of those are tasty as well. There was a bit of a wait for the food but it was worth it because it was good and fresh! read more

Always great, never been disappointed the food is delicious. My fathers favorite Peruvian restaurant.

Straight to the point. I did not enjoy the tamale at all. I guess I expected much better in South Florida, but just like most women in South Florida, it was definitely a disappointment. The arepa was good & the empanada was average. Keep looking, there is much better in SoFL. read more

Went back in here after about year or so lay off from going in there. The staff actually got worse! The lady taking the order had about as much personality as the bottom of my shoe. No "hello, how are you, welcome to La Granja." Nothing of the sort...just "for here or to go." I got the #1 and the chicken they slabbed on the plate looked so dreadful, looked greasy and pitiful. Hardly any meat at all, poor chicken died for nothing because i took one bite and about got sick with all the grease pouring out of the dirty bird. Oh and what restaurant doesn't have white rice? Why only have yellow rice? Makes no sense to me. Last time, and i do mean it, last time i go in there. The staff needs upper management help about customer service or the upper management need customer service help. Also, the food taste was horrific. On a positive note, i did get a chicken soup and that sh... was amazing! The soup was the only thing that got this place 2 stars, they were negative zero, but the soup pulled them out of the negative. No more though (well maybe for the soup!) read more

La Granja has recently became my new favorite Cuban-food joint, beating pollo tropical. Their quarter chicken meal is super affordable and they give you an enormous amount of food. They have a nice menu to select from ranging from poultry to steak to seafood. Their empanadas are fried almost in a tempura style. SO good. I my opinion, the chicken empanada was better than the beef. Every time I go there I can't pick a sauce, so I get all of them. They're all delicious. There's tons of side options but my favorite is the cilantro rice. (Pictured) It's strange because it's green, but it's my favorite and I recommend it to everyone I take there and it never disappoints. read more
