    Amazing local place. The prices are cheap-moderate. They always have lunch deals for about 9$ depending on the day of the weekly specials. Great ambient. Food taste I give it a 8/10. Parking: I’ve usually been able to find parking easily. I suggest parking on the spaces facing the street. The spaces right in-front of the restaurant have parking meters…….never seen anyone checking them but I don’t like risking not putting quarters in regardless lol! 👀

    When we first moved here in 2001 this was a regular staple at least once or twice a week. While my family has stayed, I've personally relocated 3 times in the past 20 years, and pleased to see that Latin American Grill continues to be a relevant source for great food and family time. When I told my daughter, who was getting ready to hang out with her friends, that I was heading to LAG, she almost canceled on them, and said, "Awe daaaaad... why didn't you tell me that's where you were going!?!" [In that very dramatic whiney way your 18 year old daughter can] 🥺🙄😷😜😁 To my delight the interior has been upgraded yet again, the seating is always amenable to all family sizes, and there's ample seating at the counter, as well as outside in the comfortable shade (with fans no less). The Cuban Coffee is ALWAYS SPOT ON!! [con un pocito asucar y canela] ☕ Was in the mood for a combination of carne y camarones, and while it wasn't on the menu, Lourdes said, "We can do that for you!" (Hugs to Lourdes) 🤗🤗🤗 Love this place! #LocalGem #GoodEats #theresthatfoodie #AuthenticLatinFood

    This is my first and last time ordering Delivery from this place. First off this place has the worst pan con bistec in South Florida. Plate covered in over cooked greasy fries with stale Cuban bread and unseasoned Carne Asada (which is supposed to be Bistec). Nearly a $10 sandwich just to not have lettuce, tomatoe, seasoning, and soft bread. I rather spend 2 hours out of my day and drive down to Miami and wait outside someone's abuelas house and pay them $30 for a good Cuban sandwich. Luckily your chicken soup was the only bright spot alongside your signature stale bread. 0.5/5 stars.

    The breakfast was straight to the point and delicious! The Cuban bread was my favorite along with the fresh squeezed orange juice. I will definitely be back next time, I am in town!

    The food was good. We went for breakfast and it was warm but nothing out of this world. The cafe con leche does come nice and hot and is very good. The hash browns are the ones that come frozen so if I were to go back I would order something other than hash brown. The staff is all so sweet and friendly like if you were family. If I lived closer would actually would keep going just because of them. The music was a bit loud and made it hard to keep up with a conversation with family.

    Horrible customer service for a customer that comes regularly and puts up with multiple mistakes. Normally I ignore the rudeness and the lack of service but today I needed to write a review. After ordering and waiting for my food way longer than advised, waitress came to window to tell me my card declined. It had not, after debating, restaurant realized card machine was down and not working. No apology given… then she takes the food in my hand back and says we can only take cash! She did not even try to ask if I could come back, leave a business card, take my credit card info and run card later etc… other customers were so upset with how it was handled that one suggested I Zelle him and he would pay cash for me. 30 min of waiting for my food, all this lack of customer service for me to just then get in the car drive away and realize they gave me the wrong order. Horrific experience! Wish I could give 0 stars!!

    If there was one word to summarize this location it would be ..... Frustration. To Go window customers - Frustrated They obviously get a ton of UberEATS orders and the window consistently has three to five people waiting so instead of frustrating every single one of them have the dine in wait staff help instead of lounging around. I can see two to three employees inside doing absolutely nothing yet the window staff is in the weeds. Staff - Frustrated To many orders for just one of them. Poor lady was swamped the hour it took to get a to go order. In closing it starts from the top and this place just doesn't got it. Really sad.

    The husband and I came here for breakfast and both got the steak & eggs breakfast and it was filling and delicious! It comes with steak, two eggs, fries, toast and cafe con leche. The service and waitress was quick, attentive and kind. We will definitely be back.

    When we are in the mood for a home cooked meal this is definitely the place to eat. Because we are so busy and have little time to stop at Publix to pick up all the perfect herbs and spices for the meal. I recommend LAG.!

  • 5/5 Jeffrey S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this restaurant! Every visit is top notch from the service to the food. Portions are big, the quality is amazing, and the prices are very reasonable. So many options to try on the menu and so far we have thoroughly enjoyed each dish we’ve ordered. Best Cuban sandwich around too!

    Latin American Grill is a great place for a fresh hot breakfast. So many choices on the menu. The wait staff is friendly. Your food arrived quickly and the cafe con leche is delicious. I highly recommended this restaurant.

    Wonderful place! Authentic Cuban food and reasonable price prepared well. Recently had a facelift. New placard style menus. Excellent wait staff and sufficient help to accommodate a full and busy restaurant

    I rarely go this far west and It was worth it. Cuban cuisine, fast and hearty. No passport needed. Servers were Amazing. I wanted something light, So I had soup. Really good, home made. Mom would have been proud! I'm going back for their churasco steak dinner this weekend. The guy with the trophy chick at the table next to ours was having it. I heard him say it was "fantástico". Yep, another eatery to enjoy. Life is good for Us meat eaters!

    Food and service is great. I go to many of the Latin American restaurants. This one is always above and beyond.

  • 5/5 Suyen E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good. The service could have been better. Waitress acted as if she was annoyed serving us.

  • 5/5 Stephen C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time visiting this establishment, although I've lived nearby for over seven years. I gave it full marks as I didn't feel like cooking anything after Christmas day, I had scrambled eggs and ham with Cuban toast, hash browns, and coffee, added a side of tomatoes, and my bill was under $11. A true value for money breakfast, I'll definitely go back again.

    They have the best breakfast. I always visit this location on Saturdays and Sundays. The waitress are very nice. The food is very good and the prices are ok.

  • 1/5 Former DI 6. 2 years ago on Google
    Probably the worst customer service in south Florida, if you order over the phone and pick up from their window. They usually take triple the amount of time than what they give you over the phone. You can arrive to the window, see your order sitting there on a counter, and they’ll tell you to wait for five more minutes. 15-20 minutes will pass they decide to pick up the same order that’s sitting on the counter. Way too often, there will be nearly a dozen people waiting at the window for their orders and they’ll allow individuals cut in line or go inside to order just so they can be served ahead of everyone. When people confront the staff about it, their response is always, “They’re a long time client of ours”. The group waiting there will erupt and the staff will just throw there hands up like to say whatever. It’s pretty pathetic. Food is usually good

    Rare find. Excellent Cuban food and service with smile. Loved their pot roast and cortadito. Very affordable and plenty of great choices. Can't wait to go again. Definitely recommended

  • 5/5 Max S. 1 year ago on Google
    We frequent this restaurant because we like the food and the customer service. I would like to specially recognize one of their employees named Junior. He is very professional and friendly. I have see him go out of his way many times for his customers and also others customers to make sure they are given the best possible service. He is definitely a valuable asset to this restaurant.

  • 5/5 lisbeth D. 1 year ago on Google
    Edgard, the manager was very kind an loving the waitress was excellent and the place was miraculously great. The food was exquisitely the desert and coffee was great I will eat there again. Can’t wait I really enjoyed the place.

  • 1/5 Lucia B. 1 year ago on Google
    First they put us on hold every two minutes while trying to order and leaving us hanging in the middle of talking. Then the lady who apparently was new said we need to have our order ready and know what we want before we order because she has other phone calls to get and can’t handle it. Then we get there to pick up the order and it was wrong and they said we had to deal with it because it’s what we said when it wasn’t and made a big deal about it being wrong when they made the issues. We had to finally speak to a manager which was very helpful and was able to resolve our issue and correct our order but the rest of the order had to sit there another 20 minutes getting saugy. Point being if someone is calling your restaurant and inquiring about your menu you don’t say that they need to know what we want rudely and then when the order is wrong give a big hassle to correct it instead of listening to and satisfying the customer which is paying for what they want not what you messed up on.

  • 4/5 Romina O. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is good, the waitress that served us was very kind and well-mannered. It took us a few minutes to get a table sine all the tables were full. Took about 10 minutes. The food is pretty good. However, I usually order a vanilla shake. My shake had some unusual spongy orange substance in it.
