Parking is free. The restaurant is small & the food comes out pretty quick. Everyone's meal arrived correctly. The kids loved trying the pupusas. The soup was a good size and the chicken is chunky.
Mm mmm mmmm, as much as I'd like to keep this spot my little secret, they deserve the recognition. It's tucked away in a plaza and is a small space but that makes it all the more cozy in my opinion. The food here hits the spot and the best part are their prices. The best bang for your buck for Mexican food around this area. Now, don't expect top of the world service, this is very mom and pop local shop type of vibe. All of my experiences here have been fine.
Finally - good tacos in the Sunrise/Plantation area! I dropped in by chance after seeing this restaurant mentioned in a Yelp email, and am so glad I did. The al pastor and lengua tacos were delicious, with super tender meat, a hefty portion of fresh herbs, and a fresh salsa verde hot sauce that tied everything together with a decent kick. Extra points for a good tortilla that held up to the fillings and didn't get soggy. There was a decent amount of seating inside for such a small place, and it seemed like they did a lot of takeout business. Staff were friendly and it felt homey inside, no loud performances or big crowds. I could easily see this becoming a go-to whenever I'm in the area.
Very nice find. Came in with my coworker for our lunch break. We easily found parking and received great service from our waitress, I think her name was Sandra. She was very friendly. The restaurant is small but has a homey feel. I love that you can just order a few random things and that they're all decently sized and not very expensive. I took full advantage and ordered three things- Taco de camarón (3.99), sope de pollo (3.99) and Gordita de carne (6.99). All three were very good. The shrimp in the taco was very fresh and tasty. The largest of the three was the Gordita. I also tried their fried yuca which comes with a delicious sauce. Very filling meal. If you're looking for a quick bite I would for sure come here. I love their prices and how generous they are with the protein. Great spot all around!
This place was amazing. Authentic Mexican food! Large portions, fairly priced. Restaurant is pretty big and tables are constantly being cleaned.
Bien chido move along. Plantation has a new and better bite for Mexican food. This food tasted like if I went over someone's house and they cooked authentic Mexican food for me. Sooooo good. Conveniently located in the same shopping center as my son's daycare, I will be coming back here. The service was perfect. Our waitress was soooo nice. Restaurant looks like a little hole in the wall. Very cute. Food - amazing and cheap. We feasted a little bit, having quesidella, tacos and a steak. All of that came to like 30 bucks. And the food was soooo good! I will be coming back!
Came here with some friends for dinner. For starters the service is great! Our server Sandra was so friendly and patient with us while we ordered. The food was brought out pretty quickly considering we were a large group and we ordered a good amount of food. This is a family friendly, small restaurant. I'd say it's great for smaller groups and quick casual meals. The food was amazing! The steak tacos and gorditas were absolutely delicious. So flavorful and tender. The shrimp tacos are also a MUST! The tortillas are all handmade and taste so fresh. On top of the delicious food, the prices are amazing! This place will 100% be added to my rotation of restaurants I frequent thank you Sandra!
Cute new Mexican spot in a nice size plaza with parking to match. They have a traditional Mexican decor. Its bright, clean and staff was welcoming & friendly. I came in for take out. The menu is not huge but has a decent variety. I ordered the flautas. Nicely filled with chicken and crispy in the areas that didn't have all the toppings. Next time I'll ask for the toppings on the side so the flautas stay crispy. Would definitely stop in again to try their tacos.
Stopped by spur-of-the-moment to try this new place in the Publix plaza at Cleary Boulevard and Nob Hill. We ordered a pork sope, a beef sope, a chicken taco, and a whole fried tilapia fish dinner to share for two hungry people. We shared the sopes and taco while we waited for the fish to be cooked (about 15 minutes). I did not realize that they pour cilantro and raw onions on the top of their sopes and tacos, so I immediately had a problem. I am allergic to raw onions. So, we had to scrape the condiment off the first two items that came out and ask for it on the side for the third. The server seemed flustered and pointed out that I had not told her about my allergy. I had not. Because it didn't cross my mind that the items would come laden with raw onions. We fixed the situation quickly and proceeded to enjoy our food. The tortilla used for the taco is definitely freshly made from corn; it was delicious. I also enjoyed the sope. The clumps of pork on the sope was a bit fatty; it was definitely not shredded or ground. The chopped meat was not as flavorful as the pork. I was so taken by the homemade tortilla for the chicken taco that I failed to notice the taste of the chicken (which I guess is a good thing?). The whole fried fish was very well done. Yet, there were a few small spots where the fish inside was not cooked well enough. Otherwise, we added some of the house special salsa verde (green hot sauce) and some fresh-squeezed lime juice to create a tasty entree. The accompaniments included red beans and rice (sooo good) and salad. I definitely will be back for more beans and rice and more tacos. Maybe on a Tuesday when the Taco special is three tacos and rice and beans for $11.99. I also want to try the soup and the burrito. This is definitely a mom-and-pop place with a server who does all the out-front work and (what seems like) a single cook in the back. We were the only ones dining in, but there were at least four or five take-out orders during the hour or so we spent having dinner. And the server did get a bit harried. I don't think they would be able to handle a large crowd or a packed restaurant very well. But, baby steps. First they must draw the crowd. Also, the server did not speak English very well. I communicated with her using my Spanish. We did well. But even though I studied the language for five years, I still had to ask her to slow down (despacio por favor) because she spoke rapidly. She admitted that she needs to slow down, not just with her Spanish but also with English, which she is still learning. Tacos and sopes are about $3.99 each. Our dinner--including tax, tip, and surcharge for using a credit card--was about $35. Because of COVID, we have lost a few Mexican restaurants in Plantation. So, it's nice to see a new decent one has popped up.
This small and very unpretentious 'mom & pop' restaurant is slightly hidden. It's located in the Publix plaza on Cleary and Nob Hill, a couple of doors from Clean Juice. I have thought of trying this place every time I pass by when shopping at Publix (used to be a Stix Chinese restaurant), and after reading some reviews, we decided to give it a shot. It was a weeknight and there were only two patrons (Publix employees) dining in and I wondered if that was a bad sign. Nope, don't let it fool you! The prices for the tacos were great at just under $4 each, slightly less if you order 3+ of the same. We ordered five tacos (3 carne, 1 fish, and 1 shrimp) and 1 beef Gordita (it's ground beef and more than the tacos). You can definitely tell that they make their own tortillas! What a big difference that makes! The green sauce they provide with your tacos is also delicious and you can tell it's not from some bulk container from Costco. There were slightly too much pico de gallo and diced onions on my shrimp and fish tacos, but they were delicious. The Gordita was flavorful in a lightly fried outer shell, but was a tad too greasy (dripping orange grease), although it didn't stop me from devouring everything! The bill, with tax, came to under $30...Whoa! IMHO, that's a bargain! My bill at TacoCraft would've been much higher, and it would've been a longer wait (for both service and food)! My son can be picky about his tacos, but even he enjoyed the carne tacos. I'm SO glad we decided to try this place! The service, food, and wait time were all on point! I love supporting good local family businesses whenever we come across one and will definitely return to try other menu items! Just an FYI, they don't offer free chips and salsa (it is available for purchase) and they do charge a small nominal fee for using a credit card.
A place that I want to gatekeep so I can get it anytime I want but a place everyone needs to know about because it is locally owned and truly a amazing place in terms of food, quality and service. The place is super small and intimate but that has not stopped me from ordering here because the food is out of this world. Everything that I have had has been impeccable and the flavors are out of this world every time with everything! The service is top notch and they stop by more than they should to make sure my meal is always going without a hitch! I have gotten many different dishes at this point and it has never disappointed me in the slightest. The chicken plancha was juicy and amazing with the perfect flavoring. All the tacos I have had are wonderful as well, with the lengua being my favorite. The green salsa is very spicy but the flavor is amazing and the heat dissipates quickly. The gorditas are the best thing they have to offer and my favorite is the ground beef gorditas! The prices are beyond reasonable and the amount of food you get for the price is wonderful as well. read more
An incredibly tasty hidden gem in Plantation. What a delicious restaurant with a large variety of very authentic Mexican and Central American dishes! The beef soup is so amazing. They now make it Fridays Saturdays and Sundays . The cena completa with steak is my husband's favorite here as well. They offer pupusas and baleadas also, to represent cuisine from El Salvador and Honduras. They have a house made green spicy sauce, it's quite strong and very flavorful, I am obsessed. The service is excellent here as well!! Try this place, you will not be disappointed in anything you order. read more

This was my first visit and I thought will try it before shopping in Publix. The place was very clean, service was excellent I ordered Beef Burrito and the wife ordered Chicken Caesar which be both enjoyed. I can say only draw back is no chips and salsa presented to the table, and Burrito was just a Burrito with no condiments. There sauce they put on the table, is outstanding not to HOT, and just right and tasty. There prices are reasonable and there food delicious. read more

Just wanted to recommend this brand new restaurant in the Nob Hill and Cleary Publix plaza (where Stix used to be). They serve Mexican & Central American food. They have tacos, gorditas, burritos, as well as pupusas. The gorditas and sope were absolutely delicious and so were the home made hot sauces. For what I've read, they make their own tortillas (I did not really ask to double check, but they were super tasty and looked/tasted it). Must go back and try more of what they offer (breakfast and soups too). read more

This is a brand new sit down mexican restaurant with cute decor inside. It no longer looks like take- out Chinese or smells like it. The 3 ladies inside were getting the hang of things as we placed our togo order tonight. I believe they have not been open very long. We took a seat and waited a few minutes for our food to be boxed up. At home, our food was still warm and fresh. The Pollo Burrito was pretty big and had rice and black beans inside it. It also comes with a little container of a green hot salsa. The tacos were very good. The two I ordered were Carne and Lengua. Both had a good amount of meat inside, and both had very good flavors inside fresh corn tortillas. It too had a small container of green hot sauce. Overall, it was a good experience with the only issue, which is a slight language barrier from the staff, but everything was served as ordered. I would definitely dine in next time. read more
