El Taquito - Fort Lauderdale

I discovered this restaurant during my mid-morning walk and, as someone from Texas where Tex-Mex is ubiquitous, I found this place to be outstanding. The food arrived quickly, and the drinks were refreshing. The staff was not only fast but also very friendly. I would highly recommend this spot! Thank you!

What a fantastic discovery! This place was perfect for satisfying our late-night taco cravings. We began our meal with the Mexican wings, which are an absolute must-try. They were bursting with flavor and cooked flawlessly. I opted for the Tamarind Margarita, which was delightful; they even smoke the margarita when they serve it to you, resulting in a stunning presentation. I also enjoyed the tostada, which comes with two per order and is generously topped with all the fixings. I can't wait to come back and sample more of the delicious Mexican offerings!

Staff were polite and attentive but it could be because we were the only ones there when we walked in. More people soon followed. We Ordered the Pina Colada, Tequila Sunrise, shrimp tacos, shrimp fajitas and steak tacos. The food was well seasoned. I?m not normally a big vegetable eater but I definitely ate them all. They tasted so good. My meal came with a side of rice and beans but it was more of a bean purée than actual beans. However, it did taste good. The drinks were kind of big but also overpriced for the amount of alcohol in it. All in all, it was a 4 out of 5 as far as satisfaction for me. My only gripe was the automatic tip on the bill. You should stop this practice immediately and let your customers decide if tipping is warranted. Tipping is a customers choice if they?re satisfied with service and food. We were very satisfied but not everyone will have the same experience. I would recommend dining here but just be cautious before you tip because it?s probably already on your bill, so look it over carefully.

I had the best mimosa EVER here at El Taquito. The tacos were authentic and the Mexican rice paired with the tacos was the best Mexican rice I ever had. I'll definitely visit again on the next visit.

We really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. The mango juice was fantastic, especially with the popsicle added. The corn starter was a bit too tangy for our taste, but it paired nicely with the fajitas.
