Sandra was our server today. She greeted us as soon as we walked in and brought us menus. I started off with the Horchata. I like when the Horchata is potent with less milk. It was nice, dark and refreshing. I ordered 2 chicken and cheese pupusa. They were huge! I ended up eating only one there and I had one to take home for later. My daughter ordered steak with rice and beans. The meat was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. It's a nice place to stop in for lunch and very affordable. Both of our meals were only $30. There's plenty of parking right out front and the food was served quickly. read more

Amazing! This restaurant has such authentic food and there is a variety of everything. Defensively a 10/10. I will be coming back!

We ordered the chicken tamal and it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered the carne asada with rice and beans and my husband really enjoyed it. I had the combination chicken, beef and shrimp platter with rice and beans and coleslaw. It was perfection! I tried them on a whim and will never consider ordering South American food anywhere else. The prices are reasonable and they don't skimp out on quantity or quality. I this place. Actually just talking about it makes me want to order again today read more

We went for the first time. Prices are ok. Restaurant is clean and the waitress was friendly. I order a beef and chicken empanada (both were beef) they didn't have much taste and had a mushy texture. I asked about the daily soup (beef soup) and sizes. We weren't told that the medium soup came with rice so we weren't able to order actual plate. Soup was tasteless (had to add salt) the tiny piece of plantain that had the peel so I had to take it out. Overall I didn't like it. My son had the chicken finger and fries. That was actually good. Chicken was fresh , homemade breading. The cortadito and the flan was also good. read more

El restaurante estaba sucio la música del televisor muy alta y, para colmo, la señora que nos atendió fue muy grosera creo que era la dueña pero nos trató mal que al final salimos discutiendo solo porque le dijimos que los chips tenía un pelo.Definitivamente no recomiendo este lugar, fue una experiencia muy desagradable. read more

The meat tacos are tasteful and good served. The place it's clean and the ladies are always with a smile.

So far so good. soup on a rainy day. Local beers and soda. What else can you ask for? Ambiance clean with lots of family present

I've lived in Pembroke Pines for 8 years and have never tried this place. I ordered the bean pupusa only and they were delicious and the price was economical. I will definitely try this place again. read more

This food is so good. And there's so much of it. Everything is handmade everything is made right there. The staff is really friendly it's a family-run business so everybody's related. It helps if you speak Spanish but there's people there who speak English. Is indoor seating news take out as well. There's one small table in front if you want to sit outside. But everything is so good. I got the beef fajitas and they have handmade cornmeal tortillas. It was amazing. I'm eating the second part for lunch. read more

I was craving pupusas and La Joya hit the spot! I also ordered scrambled eggs and the waitress recommended I add the onions, green peppers and tomatoes. Best eggs ever! They serve complimentary chips and salsa to each table. Apparently Mondays are $1 pupusas! Needless to say I'll be back. read more

This restaurant is a hidden jewel on Davie Road Extension. From the outside it might not look like much but it's actually a cute, clean, and tidy little restaurant that serves incredible food at great prices. I've only been here for lunch and there's almost never anybody here except to pick up phone-in orders for takeaway. It's nice in here, so it deserves a dinnertime sit-down crowd. The lunch specials are amazing: huge portions prepared perfectly for $6 to $7 including two sides. They have a variety of chicken, fish, beef, and pork dishes on special for lunch as well as the full regular menu. I had lomo saltado today, and it was the best lomo saltado I've had. It's an El Salvadorean restaurant but they serve Mexican food as well as dishes common to Latin America. Their corn tortillas, by the way, are fabulous. They're thicker than the corn tortillas you know from street tacos. Like little quilts you can fold your meat or rice and beans in that give each bite a nice chewy texture. read more

We enjoy their Lomo Saltado as well as their chicharrón pupusas! We usually order take out.

This place is fantastic! You feel right at home as soon as you enter. Super welcoming staff and friendly owners. The food is top notch and a must try. We had the parrillada, lechon asado and chicken francese. Every single plate was delicious! Prices are reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area and they don't skimp on quality. 10/10! If you're looking for a new local spot definitely hit this place up. I'll be coming back again and again! read more

Hidden gem. I'm Honduran and always looking for local restaurants that will satisfy my cravings. This place had fresh pupusas and baleadas. Truly homemade. If you're into Central American food, you need to stop by. But if you don't speak Spanish, sharpen up on it, most of the girls don't speak English. But I Promise you'll love your food! read more

I love the family feel! You walk through the doors and sit down... you feel you are in someone's home because of the way they make you feel. They explain what their specials are and how incredible each dish is.... I took one of their specials and it was delicious! I asked if my came with salad they said no but it can... a few minutes later I had a salad with a home made dressing. Don't know what the dressing was but tasted fantastic. The dessert was home made bread pudding and again was to die for. So if you are looking for great food with personal service. They treat you like you are their only guest. Then you need to try this family owned restaurant. You will be thanking me. read more

S súper cute family owned restaurant. Yes 100% authentic from mom and pop restaurante.Pricing is great lots of food will fill you up!! If you grew up drinking hispanic atole you should try their salvadoreño corn atole. They sell out of this quick soo come early. read more

Although I had the restaurant at great standards regarding their food , I recently have been very disappointed by one of their bullying servers. I've noticed that every time I go to pick up my order, this server always gives me a hard time if I ask for my receipt before I've paid my bill. Reason being is because they're automatically adding the 10% tip to the bill but don't want you to know and ask you for an additional tip on the credit card receipt.... too smart, huh? And when I ask for the receipt she always has some comment to add: 'you should have asked me before (in Spanish)".... oof, so much extra work I guess. Aren't they supposed to give you a receipt before paying...? And yesterday, after picking up my food, and even leaving an addition tip, she had the audasity to call me out when I grabbed a few napkins... (5 napkins). Always rude and nasty with me, they've lost my business. There are many more Spanish restaurants I can certainly find with better service. read more

What a nice surprise!. Don't let the area or simple exterior fool you...this place has simple and tasty food. Lots of options abd a very inexpensive lunch menu....place is clean, well maintain and service is attentive. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't prepare their own desserts. read more

This place is amazing. It's a family owned restaurant and the quality of food is incredible. The menu has many options and the quantity of food is unmatched. One plate can easily be enough for two people. The service is very friendly, the owners are very nice and they go above and beyond for their customers. They are a little short staffed with the waiters but if you have a bit of patience I strongly recommend you give this gem a chance, you will not regret it. I can't wait to be back. read more

I loved the family oriented feel of this establishment. Don't let the outside fool you out of enjoying to experience here at Sergio's. My friend and I were welcomed by a happy staff and the ambiance was very calm. We stayed in Hollywood, FL for three days and every days since we arrived, we are Sergio's. Even if we didn't sit down and have a meal, we would call in for a meal. The service was great as well. I even asked to spread to Sergio himself and I let him know that I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. I will be back. The food was very well priced as well. Food experience: Chicken/meat empanadas = amazing! Snapper dinner meal = mouthwatering! Burrito = awesome! read more
