Not a bad place to eat. I went here after having a bad experience at another restaurant in Pompano. This one was pretty good. I actually called first and the person on the phone was very pleasant and told me what was made fresh and what ingredients were in what I wanted to order. I'm into fresh and authentic. The vibes were great and the prices were not bad. I found some of the flavors were not really my taste but I will be back and try other food to see if they are at least consistent. read more

Came across this place while in the area. They have a $10 dinner menu and that's unheard of these days. Simple and good quality food. We ordered 2 steak dinners with rice black means and plantains 1 grilled chicken with rice black beans and yuca Yuca was dry unfortunately but with a little salt, oil and lemon will bring them back to life Place was nice and clean. Had football playing and a decent crowd there drinking and watching the game. Server was nice Chefs were nice as well. Had a good time and will be back again read more

We had a great lunch here. Parking was right outside. They are still doing some construction of the shoppers haven area but you can avoid that coming south on federal. We were greeted and seated right away. The menu is extensive -- plus you can look at some of the dishes displayed in the cafeteria area. They do a lot of takeout and have numerous lunch specials. Shout out to Yelp elite Lisa H who came here. And caused me to bookmark the location. The restaurant is Latin. It's a mix of country cuisines. Mexican, Cuban, Colombian, Honduran, Salvadoran, et al. My husband wasn't that hungry and decided to just have a small chicken soup. The small soup turned out to be a huge meal! The soup was excellent -- a flavorful broth and packed with all sorts of veggies and chicken with a side of white rice and plantains. He was very happy. I'd been craving a cocktail de camarones after seeing a recent Instagram post. So I searched Yelp and this restaurant showed it on their menu. I was disappointed when we came in to no longer see it on their menu. However, after asking the server about it, the kitchen was happy to make it for me. It was a very big serving -- delicious and refreshing. There were two huge shrimp on the edge of the glass plus a large lettuce leaf. Inside there were chopped shrimp pieces along with chopped tomatoes and onions, all in a red (ketchup) based sauce. It's kind of a mix between gazpacho and ceviche. They served a fresh made tostada along side. And I used some of the taco chips as well. The different daily lunch specials sound wonderful as do their taco specials. Pricing is quite reasonable and portions are large. We'd definitely come back here! read more

Located in the Shoppers Haven plaza, this little gem is busy with hungry diners. (Including me!) We were greeted and seated immediately to look over our menus. I chose a Small Chicken soup, a complete meal in itself. Rich flavorful broth, lots of tender chicken and veggies. A side of white rice and plantains added the requisite carbs. Good food and a great find! read more

The food wasn't terrible and the service was great. BUT they charged us a $15 service fee for eating there. It wasn't gratuity where it would go to the waitress we had to tip her on top of that. They didn't have enough burgers for my kids, and the chicken tenders were not any good. I could understand charging a service fee if my kids had made a mess or we had made a mess. But it was two adults and three kids only two of which were eating. I will definitely not be going back charging someone $15 just to eat in a restaurant is ridiculous. read more

The food was good, the service was satisfactory, and the ambiance was pleasant. Overall, it was a nice dining experience.

Was looking for a new spot to eat w some family and came across Las Carnitas. Upon walking in, the place was absolutely dead (should have took that as a sign) but we proceeded to walk in and check out the food they had. Some of the food was sitting out and did not look appealing what so ever, and to our disgust there was a fly sitting very close and near all the food. We didn't even have to eat there to know it was going to be bad. The ambiance was an environment I would never step foot in again, yet alone eat at. Unfortunately, the fly stayed so my advice is do not eat here if you care at all about your well being. read more

Wow. Padrino's definitely know how to do Cuban Food. Real deal Cuban food! Great location in FL. We are vacationing in Pompano and ate here three times this week! Service and inside was excellent. Give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

We decided to try a new local place for breakfast. We parked out front in the strip center and were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was very pleasant and my goal was to get a good cafe con leche which I did get. We ordered omelets from the breakfast menu which came with toast, potatoes and a really tasty sauce in the side. Everything was fresh and tasted great and prices were very fair. We noticed they had a cafeteria type counter where you can order take out. A lot of people came in while we were seated and took prepared food to go. Most of the food was prepared Latin American style with lots of good flavors and spices. They also advertised Taco Tuesday with $1 tacos and a fun night. The atmosphere felt like a diner with a number of locals. We will have to try the tacos. Im sure they will be authentic!! read more

I absolutely love this place! I've been here a few times and have yet to have a negative experience. The food is amazing and decently priced, especially when taking into account how good the food tastes . I like the location. It has a mom-and-pop feel to it, which made me feel welcomed, and the restaurant as a whole is very clean. The service is fantastic. I've had multiple servers and they've all been great. Even when there was a small mistake, they would quickly try to fix it. And of course, nothing beats Taco Tuesday! Tacos are $.99 and they taste phenomenal. If I were to give a small complaint, they have a DJ on Taco Tuesdays, and the music is extremely loud; to the point where I need to scream at the person in front of me to have a conversation. Other than that, I can't recommend this place enough. Star Breakdown: Location: Yes Service: Yes Food: Yes Price: Yes Cleanliness: Yes read more

We first went for lunch on a Saturday. We enjoyed it so much we went back a few weeks later for taco Tuesday. My Mexican tacos were tasty. My husband was happy with the American style tacos. We liked DJs music too. I ordered a sopa de pollo to go because I liked it so much when I had during our lunch visit. The cost for two for was very reasonable. We will be back. read more

SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD. Cheap delicious food! Reminded me of Hispanic restaurants serving food on the spot in NYC. I had a carne de res soup without the carne with rice and veggies. So good, my husband had MASSIVE baleadas. My son had rice beans plantains. He loved it. Delicious seasoning and loved their food options for a great price. I plan to be back soon! read more

As the taco Tuesday deal is always amazing I went back to Las Carnitas tonight to pickup some Mexican tacos (chicken and pork) for my wife and I. Along with the tacos I grabbed two Flan from the fridge as they are her favorite and I like them as well. Once home we demolished the tacos which were fantastic and my wife started on the Flan. As I grabbed mine I noticed the best by date was 7/3/24 (today is 7/30/24) and that there was some mold growth on top. I asked my wife to check hers which she was almost done with and the best by date sticker was missing. She said it tasted fine and finished it lol but mine with the mold was a hard pass. I tried calling the restaurant back but they closed in 25 minutes and no one picked up. I'll probably still go back for the tacos but pass on desserts in the future. read more

I love this place, especially on taco Tuesdays. Great menu, friendly staff and delicious fresh food. My only complaint is that the music is too loud. The music is too loud to the point. You just want to finish your food and leave as fast as you can. Please turn the music down, thank you read more

Went here before the remodel 3 times. It was a solid 3 stars at best. I went here again on a Friday evening they had a DJ. It was obnoxiously loud. I couldn't hear the servers talking. So instead of asking them to lower or do anything about the music.I took my order to go. There was only 2 other people at the restaurant and they had to yell at each other to talk, eventually gave up and went on their phones.. I mean... It's a restaurant not a club. We ordered plantains they were not in the bag. We got 2 yucca instead. The beans were watery. The meat from the milanese was really tough. But I was hungry and finished it anyway. Got food poisoning. Never going back here again. read more

Place had a bad feeling to begin with, but there was a roach leg under one of our plates and when it was addressed the workers pulled up every excuse to save themselves and begged to compensate us when all we wanted to do was leave at that point. And when we wanted to take a photo of the roach leg for evidence they were quick to dispose of it and act like nothing had happened, when we asked for someone in charge they were also quick to deny our request to see them and refused to take proper action about the whole situation, instead they laughed and blamed us for bringing a roach leg into the restaurant and frame them, also making up excuses saying that we sat by the door so anything could happen, and so on. Again the place still even looked dirty, honestly the bathroom looked cleaner than the rest of the restaurant and the workers gave us a hard time. Lastly one of the plates (food) was too salty, and another while the food was hot there were pieces that were freezing and disgusting, and the soft drinks were honestly sad, it was like they didn't care for the machines they had and the sodas came out nasty. read more

Great food great service I ordered the chicken and shrimp plate Chicken was fresh shrimp was juicy and flavorful there is a great vibe in this place you feel like you're home . The yellow rice is a great choice and Yucca fries is pre boiled in my opinion which makes it crispy from the outside and really soft from the inside . 15 dollars for the entree . Big portions and you can tell food is fresh ! A hot meal that warms your heart ! read more

My food was horrible. Tacos were so salty, the empanadas had no flavor!! And my rice was made with slimy long onions, ugh. I just did not like anything about my delivery order. PLUS I was charged a delivery AND a cc fee which was not told to me when i had even asked if i should pay with cc or cash?!? This place was all sorts of red flags for me. I will never return. read more

Unfortunately I can't say great things about this restaurant. I'm sure others have had a great experience, however my ex was not the best. We were a party of 4, we ordered tacos, pupusas, tostones, and a taco salad. All the food came out except the taco salad, there was only one waitress and is understandable that things happened. However, she didn't even bother to come by the table to make sure we were ok or if we needed anything. The taco salad never came! We called a gentleman that worked at the restaurant and we expressed our concern, he went back to the kitchen to find out what happened and he stated it was a mistake and apologized for the error. He gave us a 10% discount and gave us a to go bag. Again, this was my experience and understand things happened. Not sure I would ever go back. read more

The menu is from all parts of Central and South American dishes. They even have nights as a lounge with DJ and great sound!

The people were very nice, but the food was subpar. I ordered a chicken fajita. It didn't come with tortillas, so basically it was a stir-fry with dry chicken. The fried plantains were hard and rubbery. read more

Roaches were in my Cup when I finished When I told the waiter she said sorry but that's all ? Disgustingggg They all starting talking spanish so RUDE and all the waiters were looking at me like I never seen a roach before then they starting laughing read more

The food was sub-par. The service was absolutely horrible. The server was a pretty girl with straight black hair. I asked her for the Tex mex style tacos with the flour tortilla and cheese, specifically. I don't really like corn tortillas. My friend asked for carnitas tacos with just the pork, onion and cilantro. We ordered guac asked for it first as an appetizer. We asked her 3 different times for the guac and the third time she was like "oh yeah". She brought the guac with my tacos then brought my friends tacos about 8 minutes later. So obviously as the polite thing to do I waited for my friend to get her food and let my tacos sit there. Both of our orders were wrong. She gave me Mexican style tacos and my friend had tomatoes and pineapple on hers. We had to get to a movie so I just asked her to give me a side of cheese and flour tortillas. She charged us for the tortillas. I tried to dispute it because it was the wrong style tacos which was her fault in the first place but she wouldn't budge. I asked for a water and she took a very long time to get it, bussed a whole table before getting it. I'm in the service industry so I know not to be rude but this is the worst experience I've had in a restaurant I think ever. read more
