🫤 I was looking forward to trying this place as it was recommended. Needless to say I would not be recommending this place to anymore else. Will we were seated relatively quickly, that was the only thing about the experience that was good. After getting seated nobody attended to us for over 15 minutes... People often mention good, tacos, chips, amazing, ordered, service, delicious, steak, flavor, restaurant,

    I was looking forward to trying this place as it was recommended. Needless to say I would not be recommending this place to anymore else. Will we were seated relatively quickly, that was the only thing about the experience that was good. After getting seated nobody attended to us for over 15 minutes. Mind you, we had 2 people asking us if we were helped. Finally, someone came and started taking our order. We ordered two drinks and an appetizer. When the appetizer finally came, the waiter asked if everything was okay. I looked at him shocked and replied, "uhhh the drinks?!?" He proceeded to go behind the bar and make the drinks himself. The drinks were bad needless to say. The chips that came with the guacamole looked like the last of the bag. Once the food came and everything was "okay," the food itself wasn't even impressive. I ordered the Sante Fe bowl which was okay at best, but the portion was far smaller than expected. I don't remember the name of the other item, but like the bowl it was okay at best. Overall the service was horrid and the food wasn't worth the dive.

    Not a bad looking place. The atmosphere is very inviting and open. I was greated fairly quick, we sat, received menus........ Waited. 15 minutes in the first person aproached table, and said " be right back". Another 5 min. Then he offered to bring water. No, it was not busy, most of the tables were empty. Now we order, the steak cheese fries did have a good flavor, the steak was a bit dry, tge cheese sauce tasted like canned cheese. The birrito was good. Good flavors, right amount of spice. Tacos al pastor was dry, chewy. The server which i dont remember his name, was very friendly, very nice, very professional. Other thing that i did not enjoy was eating around other dirty tables, i was there a total of 1 hour and tables next to ours wasnt cleaned. Not sure if im willing to go back or would i reccomend.

    My wife and I both agree this was an excellent first visit! We were served chips and salsa upon arrival with our drinks. Both of our platters of tacos were outstanding. The black beans are highly recommended. Our meal was enjoyable and we definitely want to return to this location because of our great service.

    I like tacos. Actually, I love tacos. It's amazing considering how many tacos that I eat that I'm not 300lbs.🤣 I'm on a mission to eat as many tacos as possible; from as many different places possible as I can find. 🤣 I've been waiting for this restaurant to open for a very, very long time. Let me start with the ambiance first. I love the high ceilings. I love all the open space inside the restaurant. Now let me me get to the heart of the review...the food. The corn chips with the four different dipping options were delicious. My guest and I ordered tacos with the soft corn shells. For fillings, we got steak, chicken and carnitas. I chose refried beans as my side, she chose vegetables. They have 8 excellent options to choose from. I got four tacos, she got four tacos, except she could only eat three, so I ate the other one for her. 😂 Oh, did I mention, we also ordered quesadillas. They forgot to bring me sour cream. It didn't bother me because my guest and I really enjoy these quesadillas immensely. I had two she had one. I can never go back to Lime, I can never go to Zona Fresca, I don't think I can never order tacos from anyone ever again, unless I'm in Mexico. I think I am going to be busy eating in this restaurant more than a few times a month.

    Modern Mexican restaurant with a small but good menu. The fries with steak appetizer was so good. The enchiladas with rice were very good and the bowl was flavorful as well. Service was ok, prices were decent, music was a little loud so it made it hard to talk, but I would come here again!

The food was really good and delicious. Thank you for the amazing service.

    This place is pretty nice and the food is really good. They give you chips and dip which are amazing and have the right amount of flavor and freshness to them. The Asada fries were really good and would get again. The guacamole was really good as well. The other foods looked just as tasty. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. The environment and scenery was also clean, colorful and spacious. You almost want to stay there for a while to hang out. The one thing I will say is the menu was a bit odd to read. They tried something I have never seen before and felt that it was too much and had to ask the server for more questions then I wanted. I would recommend this place if you want to try a good all around Mexican place.

    This restaurant opened not so long ago in Dania Pointe, I realized it was there a couple of weeks ago while eating at 14 North Daiquiri Bar. To start I ordered the guacamole appetizer, they served a generous amount, the flavor to be honest was not the best I’ve had but it was still good, simple but good, the sauces are on the house with tortilla chips, awesome flavors. For the main course I had the Chimichanga with chorizo, I can say it was really flavorful, the combination of the rice, cheese and salad was not overwhelming, just perfect, tacos were really good too. Drinks were good, well balanced. Will come back for the food and the friendliness of the staff which I didn’t mention in the beginning, felt at home with everyone working there.

    It feels like I waited forever for this place to open and was so excited to try it on opening day. Everything was PERFECT! Sara was our server at the bar and she was great. We had the queso, guacamole, salsas and the four of us ordered different entrees. Everyone was very happy with our food. Definitely going to be my new favorite place for Mexican.

    Very difficult to rate this experience. The restaurant is big and well done, food is very tasty and good portions our only issue was the waitress, service was poor, she was very upset for some reason, we had to chase her to get anything, and like other reviews we waited good 15min before she showed up, if I have to rate this place for that I will give 0, I hope the owner realizes how employees are hurting this nice place.

    I wanted to take the time to compliment the outstanding service I received from start to finish . I was greeted by a lovely hostess named Tiffany. Her smile and enthusiasm made it so exciting and welcoming . We got sat down right away and we’re introduced to Anthony . He was extremely knowledgeable, efficient and went above and beyond . What made the experience even better was being greeted by the store manager Michel who ensured we had a premium experience . Overall they have an incredible team who make the experience one of a kind . Highly recommend the food which is delicious . Don’t forget they have amazing specials for Taco Tuesdays

    My wife and I love to check out new bars/restaurants in Dania Pointe. When this place opened for business, we had to give it a try. The place is huge and has a nice size patio in front. We sat down at the bar and started studying their happy hour and regular menus. I started with a Margarita and tasted alright. The chips and salsa come with a variety of salsas and some were pretty spicy for my taste, but still pretty good. I tried a few different mini street tacos, the Al pastet was my favorite. My wife tried their tamales but she thought it lacks flavor. But the vibe of the place is moving and our bartender lady was nice to us. Should be going back there soon.

    This New Mexican restaurant at dania pointe is spectacular . Starting strong with the complementary chips and 4 salsas of different flavor it was a 10/10 , the chips were very fresh as well as the 4 salsas one for everybody’s liking . We ordered 6 steak tacos 2 with corn tortillas and 4 with flour I’d recommend getting the corn tortillas it was very tasty . We also went ahead and ordered the guacamole trust me you need to get it . We also decided to order el fundido burrito it was so rich in flavor 10/10 . Our waitress was also very sweet and very attentive with everything we needed . The ambiance was amazing especially for a Friday night. Music was playing the playlist was also very very good this place is a solid 10 .

    We were walking around looking for a good margarita. Lo and behold there was CT Cantina Taquería. Definitely found the right place. The service, drinks, and food were exceptional. The owners are on site and making sure you have the best experience. Highly recomended and will be coming back.

    I loved my street taco. My sister did not like her entree but loved the steak fries. The corn dip was good. We did encounter hair in our queso. So we returned it. We did not want it after that. The rice is delicious. There were no beans.

  • 4/5 meg r. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice menu with plenty of options. Should have skipped the pork ( they will give you more than 1 meat as a filling in your chimi/burrito/enchilada) Food was tasty though. Margarita was excellent. All salsas are a little spicy, some more than others. The baker didn't show up that day but my server told me the desserts were just ok, go get ice cream😁😁 (at Haagen Dazs so that's saying something..) Easy walk from hotels in Dania Pointe complex. Prices are Florida resort pricing so not cheap but not as high as if you were over by the beach. I'll go back if I stay at either the AC by Marriott or Ft. Lauderdale Airport Marriott.

    The place was cute, almost cozy. The staff was great, the Tacos seemed a little dry. The flavor was great, but I think it needs side of sour cream or something, like it's missing a wet ingredient on the taco. We had a party of 8, and we all agreed on that fact. I sampled my friends steak taco salad and it was amazing. I would go back a few times to try more items on the menu.

    Been here many times and in different times. The pros: Margaritas are delicious. I sat by the bar many times and the bartenders are always nice and friendly. They offer chips and salsa and they are delicious. Street tacos is a must, yum! But they are small so always get at least 3. Cons: Service at the tables can be a bit slow,specially at lunch hours, and for some reason I always see the same waitress working, poor girl I really think she is the only one working during lunch! Last week when I went, I also noticed the lady’s bathroom were a mess, dirty and with broken toilet seats! Management definitely should focus in hiring more staff.

    Tacos are delicious and very cheap on Taco Tuesday! The queso with chorizo is also a phenomenal choice. After we arrived our order was taken promptly and the food delivered quickly. We’ve already made plans to come back every Tuesday just to eat these delicious street tacos.

    Our server was so kind and very attentive. The food was good, but the portions were so tiny. It says on the menu that they are mini tacos, but they felt micro mini. Two bites, and they were gone. I started with 3 and ended up ordering 2 more. I had a steak taco, which was good, a steak BBQ taco that was amazing, and a chicken taco that was good, but the chicken was dry. My friend got the combo, and the serving of rice was unbelievably small. She had a shrimp taco that she said she enjoyed but was little spicy and the impossible taco, and she said that was amazing!

    I went to Taqueria with a large group of coworkers on a Friday for happy hour. We sat at the bar and there was probably 20-25 of us. I only saw 1-2 active bar tenders taking orders, but it took us about 20 minutes to finally get someone who wasn't busy. I watch a gentleman patiently standing and trying to get some's attention to order. He waited probably 15-20 minutes and no one acknowledged him so he just walked out. The food was good, but service was really slacking. Several of my coworkers shared similar experiences. I understand that it's difficult to serve so many people, but I hardly saw any employees available. The bar had another 10 people that also were waiting to be served. The food did come quickly once we finally ordered after 20 minutes or so. I would definitely recommend getting a table and not coming with a large group.

    The server was very attentive, the restaurant itself is nice and the drinks are pretty good but the food was OK. The cheese sauce tasted like it came from a can and it was just heated up. I had high hopes for that sauce since it’s one of our favorite appetizers, chips with cheese sauce.

    Best Mexican food in Fort Lauderdale/Dania Beach area so far (I’m from Mexico). The place is very clean, hopefully it stays that way. Mango chamoy frozen margarita did not disappoint.

  • 4/5 Alexa's W. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is large and inviting. We sat down at the bar for a drink and a snack. They immediately give you chips and 4 different style of salsas. Some spicy but tasty. I had a spicy margarita and it was good. We also had the chorizo queso and followed the bartenders recommendation and eat it with the chips and the tortilla. Soooo good. We couldn’t hear the music so maybe thats why I felt it was missing something. We will be back for happy hour.

  • 4/5 Patty L. 1 year ago on Google
    My first time, I ordered 4 tacos with refried beans. For some reason, They put the Chipotle sauce in the tacos, I almost died. I do not like hot spicy food. Thankfully, they replaced 2 of them. Great service, I got skinny margarita with agave it was delicious, strong. For dessert 3 leches with strawberries but didn't like it. It was 6 of us and was $157.00 + tip.

    Hubby and I had dinner here. We really enjoyed the laid back, casual atmosphere. The food was fresh and tasty. I had the Tamales entree which included three tamales types with lettuce, tomatoes, sauce and cheese. It was delicious and the portion size was large, I could only finish less than half. Hubby had the chimichanga which was also very large, very tasty and full of flavor. I enjoyed the house strawberry margaritas. All in all, it was a good experience.

    Walked in to Dania shopping center looking for lunch and was excited to find a welcoming bar/taco joint waiting for us. All the food was incredible especially the asada fries. Margaritas also were very good! Overall couldn't have been happier with lunch and the staff were so friendly and outgoing 👍 Thanks again!

    A perfect spot in an amazing place. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Free Parking garage is next door. Friendly staff and fast service. Plenty of options for Cocktails. Mango Margarita and Spicy Verde were excellent. Tacos 🌮 and Burritos 🌯 are great and Tamales 🫔 were the best. Kids loved the cheese dip. Do not miss their spicy 🌶️ sauce for the chips. A must visit for Mexican cuisine lovers.

  • 5/5 Garrett W. 2 years ago on Google
    The Al Pastor tacos were the most flavorful I’ve ever had. The guac could use a little garlic. The Fundidio was the best burrito my boyfriend has ever had. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food came out in a flash!! 10/10 would recommend. We will be back when in town.

  • 1/5 ashley t. 2 years ago on Google
    Place looks very nice. Food needs some working on from flavor to presentation, we ordered the queso and guacamole brought out two separate times without any chips, waited 15 minutes for our server to come to the table to let him know we did not get chips and waited another 10 minutes. Salad and tacos did not come with any ranch as said. Place needs more staff and working on.
