Idk why they making their food portions smaller. Enchiladas looked like kids meal. The strawberry lemonade comes now in a way smaller glass and still $5. Taste and service was excellent but they have to do something about their portions. Wife always leave some of her carne asada and it was so small she finished it fast.

Everything was great! love the place, highly recommended!

When we arrived, at 4:10pm, the host said, ok, give us a couple minutes to set up your table…? I mean I made a reservation and then confirmed the reservation, sooo why wouldn’t the table be ready for us? We waited about 10-15 minutes. When the table was ready a guy walked us back. Assuming he was the manager, (as I saw him in expo and working the floor as well) never said “sorry for the wait” or anything for that, just walked us over to the table and like a ghost he was gone. Once we sat to say service was lacking may be an understatement. I could only get the servers attention when I waved her down like a lunatic. Overall there was nothing special about this place, the food was good and the place was nice but that’s about where it ends. The drinks I feel like were poured short as they were too sweet, I did order the Oaxaca old fashioned, which I understand it has sugar in the drink, but it was soo sweet it was thick. I wanted to switch it up, but the only time I could order was when she was walking behind my chair, so really all I could order was “may I get another drink” she nods and says “sure” with a smile at least. But honestly, I’d rather her be rude and attentive then nice and not have any of her attention. Now I know it’s annoying when you get birthdays, but I did put in my reservation that we were celebrating one, but there was no mention of it at all. Figured maybe a dessert with a candle or even just a “happy birthday” but instead I felt like the staff only wanted us to just sit eat, and leave. Which I suppose is fine, but… Isn’t going out to dinner supposed to be an experience? It should be somewhat memorable yes?

Amazing food and service. This restaurant had come highly recommended on trip advisor and travel sites…and it did not disappoint. It’s a must when visiting Fort Lauderdale. I’ll be back!

If you are looking for a place with delicious Mexican food and a great ambiance, this is the place! We were a large group for my husbands birthday and everything was flawless. Our waitress was great! She did not seem overwhelmed even though she had multiple tables and our table being of 13 people. Drinks and food were delicious. You need to try the guacamole and the margaritas! Definitely recommend for a fun time with music, drinks, and food.

I’ve been meaning to try this place for the last year. It was well worth the wait. We went as a large 14 person party and had a great experience all around. Will definitely be going again!

This restaurant is always busy, even during the week. They get a good crowd at happy hour and I love the margaritas. I have been there many times and every dish is tasty and served hot. The servers and bartenders are great, very personable and helpful. Highly recommend

We went on a Saturday night it was busy but being on las olas blvd we expected as much! We put our name in they gave us a 20 minute wait time so we walked and explored until they texted us they were ready. Sat down waitress was friendly and fast service. I opted for the mango strawberry margarita it tasted great a lot of ice in the small glass but very enjoyable. We also got the chips and house made salsas we liked both especially the spicier option. My husband and I both got the chicken quesadillas which I think may just be the best ones I’ve ever had! Great experience good atmosphere for couples and adults, not sure I’d bring my kids here though.

We had brunch at El Camino on a Sunday afternoon. The food was ok and the service was meh. I got the feeling that the staff did not care about us or the other patrons. Probably won't go back.

I had a group of 10 for my birthday and we expected more/louder music, but the food and drinks were amazing!
