I just wish there had been more meat in the soup there were more potatoes, plantain, and yucca chunks than chicken. Since it was a pickup order, I wanted to add empanadas, but they mentioned it would take about 10 minutes, so I passed. Unfortunately, both servers were not very friendly and came across as dismissive, which took away from the overall experience.

The rest of them only spoke Spanish. I ordered the grilled chicken breast, fries and bean. The chicken tasted like rubber and was so bland.

I was wrong! The server was nice but not that sharp. I think this is more of a locals joint where they go and everybody knows each other. I don't plan on going back.

I've been to this spot many times before but been a while. This restaurant has been at the same location for years. It used to be half the size. Place is really spacious and clean.

Good sign. Food was good but not great. My sister and I had the Steak with french fries and tostones. Meat was tender and flavorful. Very convenient location and will come back again soon whenever I'm in the mood for quick Colombian food in a lay back setting.

The Dimelo Papi food truck had a small line of hungry customers which was a good sign. The wife wanted to try the Mofongo which is a traditional Puerto Rican cuisine with roasted pulled pork & rice for $21.00. The chef took only ten minutes to create the dish, who then displays it to me before sealing the container. Loved this, allowing my approval before payment. Unfortunately, a mini storm rolled in and drenched the area which put a damper on our day, so we took the food home instead of eating at the market. The styrofoam box was heavy and smelled great - plenty for two people to share. Enjoyed the garlic in the mofongo and the roasted pork was moist and tasty.

There are other Latin business also in this small strip of stores on the north side of the street. The menu is large and prices are very reasonable. There was only one gal serving the tables out front, but she was very friendly. While waiting for our food we were served chips and salsa. The salsa is made in house and is a bit spicy. I wanted to try a few things, so I got one of their pupusas -- with pork and cheese. It was very good. And large (I took half home). It was served piping hot with slaw served on the side to eat on top of the pupusa. I also got two different tacos -- one birria and one carnitas. They each came with a separate dipping sauce. And the plate had cucumbers and radish slices and a cut in half large jalapeno pepper on it as well. I liked the pork carnitas a lot. I got it without onions. And it had a nice amount of cilantro on the top of the crispy pork pieces. The birria had tender shredded meat in it. Both soft tacos were double layered. The only thing that wasn't a fave was the sauce that came with the birria taco -- but I didn't miss it. I tried it and then felt the meat was flavorful enough without using it. I took half of the birria taco home also. My husband ordered a beef burrito. It was huge and even cut in half, he could only have half in one sitting. It was packed with slices of steak meat, rice, beans, avocado, slices of jalapeno, and slaw. He really like the burrito. They should do quite well here once discovered. So come now while you can still get a seat without waiting.

So as I do, I'm going to give you the straight-up view on this place…read more Let's start here. This is not Cuban food. Not even close. The owner was sitting there while we were there, and to be clear, she's Colombian, not Cuban. That matters when you're claiming a Cuban spot, especially in South Florida where people actually know the difference. Now the coffee. I ordered a colada and it came out ridiculously sweet. I'm talking over-the-top, almost undrinkable. We had to reorder it with less sugar, and they didn't even offer to replace the first one. That alone tells you a lot about how they handle things. Then the Cuban sandwich. They put mustard and mayonnaise on it. Let me say that again. Mayonnaise. On a Cuban sandwich. That is straight-up wrong. As a Miami native, I'm telling you, that's an abomination. If you grew up around real Cuban food, you already know that doesn't fly. And if you're defending it... I don't know what to tell you. Lol. Look, I'm not trying to be harsh for the sake of it. But when you call yourself Cuban in a place like South Florida, there's a standard. This place doesn't meet it. Unless you've got nothing better to do, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here for "Cuban" food.

Bohio Latin Flavors, Margate…read more Dominican and Puerto Rican cuisine with a heavy emphasis on mofongo, and based on this visit, that's one of the reasons to come here. They offer numerous variations, with your choice of sauce and protein, making this one of the more mofongo-focused restaurants I've seen in Broward. We started with the shrimp mofongo. The plantain mound itself was moist, flavorful, and nicely seasoned, avoiding the dry, dense texture that plagues lesser versions. Ours came topped with a rich shrimp sauce, but other options included a garlic cream sauce and a Creole-style sauce, both of which looked excellent as they passed through the dining room. Of the dishes we tried, the mofongo was actually my favorite. The masitas de cerdo (fried pork chunks) were flavorful and well-seasoned, although they came out a bit drier than I would have preferred. I'd still order them again, but based on what I saw arriving at nearby tables, the pernil may be the move on a future visit. The rice deserves mention as well. The arroz con gandules was excellent, with plenty of flavor rather than simply serving as a side dish. They also offered moro rice in both red bean and black bean versions, which was nice to see. The Punta Cana cocktail was worth ordering. Sweet, tropical, and considerably stronger than it looked. The dining room is much larger than it appears from outside, but this is very much a casual neighborhood spot. It reminded me of the kind of local restaurant you'd find in Puerto Rico or the Dominican Republic: a large dining room, full bar, TVs on the wall, families gathering for dinner, and the emphasis squarely on the food rather than creating an upscale experience. There's also a stage and DJ setup for live entertainment. One note: service was slow on our Sunday evening visit. After speaking with the manager, I learned she was also the restaurant's only server and that a single cook was handling the kitchen while also keeping up with a steady stream of takeout orders. Given those realities, the pace made more sense. Everyone was friendly, but this isn't the place to visit if you're in a hurry. Both English and Spanish menus are available, although the primary server was clearly more comfortable interacting in Spanish. They also feature Latin music and a DJ on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, which is probably when the room really comes alive. If you're a fan of mofongo, pernil, arroz con gandules, or Dominican comfort food in general, Bohio is worth adding to your list.

I do not claim to be an expert on Dominican authenticity, but seemed to be the real deal to me. The food was served a few minutes after ordering. Excellent timing for seating, ordering, and arrival of entrees. A Dominican dance competition played on all the HDTVs; the Dominican music contributed to the authentic ambiance. The music volume was higher than initially seemed appropriate for a restaurant, but I quickly adapted, and turned out to be an acceptable volume level. I enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance, and recommend Bohio, if you're interested in Dominican food.
