Despite its name, East City Grill is nowhere close to the east side; it’s located in Weston, emphasis on the west. This contemporary-designed establishment prepares American and international fare with a focus on Florida produce and fish when possible. And if local fish isn’t available within reach, East City Grill has seafood flown in daily. […]

Showing 243 - 264 of 818Long before Chipotle and Moes began hawking burritos in South Florida, hometown favorite East Coast Burrito Factory was constructing gargantuan, one-pound burritos and unleashing them like mini-Godzillas on the public. The burritos say East Coast, but the style is distinctly San Franciscan with a Florida twist — Frisco burros are known for their bulging mass, […]
The menu boasts that this elegant Hollywood strip-mall eatery serves “the finest and latest in Chinese cuisine.” The latest can be found in only one dish, really – a moist fillet of salmon topped with ground pork, chopped peppers and green onions, and black-bean sauce presented on a bed of spaghetti. But the finest is […]
Putting the “dine” in diner, the Thai and Japanese dishes at this roadside joint are superb. Mee krob isn’t too sweet; pad Thai isn’t too fishy; curries are beautifully balanced. For Japanese fare, order any one of the numerous fresh-fish rolls or the katsu – pounded chicken or pork that’s deep-fried and served with plum […]

Pria’s daily specials change often and might include tantalizing starters such as escargots sautéed with white wine and onions or Pria’s famous cilantro soup, […]
If you need a hit of that old-fashioned greasy-spoon goodness, investigate this ancient US 1 icon. You already know the type: the waitresses have worked here since God’s grandparents needed a babysitter; the chef probably invented the wife-beater; and the percolated coffee flows non-stop. A seriously 60s vibe pervades (the diner sits next to an […]
Delray Beach wasn’t complete until it received its new taqueria-ish El Camino. Here, owners Brandon Belluscio, Brian Albe, and Anthony Pizzo — also of Cut 432 and Park Tavern — deliver Mexican soul food and a topnotch tequila bar just a few steps from the city’s Atlantic Avenue restaurant row, at the entrance to Pineapple […]
The word charamusca roughly translates in Salvadoran slang as “a mix of things,” which is just what you’ll get at the homey El Guanaco. The yellow building on Prospect Road caters to the large Salvadoran and Mexican population in that blue-collar stretch of Fort Lauderdale. But El Guanaco serves just as many customers from north […]
The creation of chef Mike Saperstein and partner Evan David — the pair behind Charm City Burgers — El Jefe Luchador offers “hard-core Mexican street food” in a fun environment. Tables and chairs wear primary colors. Flamboyant lucha libre wrestling masks are mounted on one wall. A gaudy crystal chandelier hangs from tin ceilings. ZZ […]

It’s served between two halves of a big baguette. To counteract any possible health-food taint from the lettuce and tomatoes, the […]
Even if you don’t know what the name is in English (little Colombian nook), don’t let that stop you from trying the grilled steak with pork skins, eggs and corn cake. Hens’ (yes, that’s what I said) soup and a baked fresh pan con queso (bread with cheese) from the bakery should heighten your tastebuds […]
El Tamarindo’s menu is all over the map – a map of the American continents, anyway.

Just pick your […]

The longest-lasting relic of Fort Liquordale’s awesome permanent spring-break, the Elbo Room has seen Category 4 hurricanes, wet T-shirts, and drinking contests come and go. The place is located directly across the street from the beach and carries its own salty swagger. Both young and old continue to congregate here and let the good times […]

Here’s to hoping nothing changes – as so many good fish tacos at new restaurants almost always do – with Ends Meat chef-owner Kevin Dreifuss’ satisfying combination of fresh catch married with a piquant slaw accented with a spicy chipotle aioli, cotija cheese, and large sprigs of fresh cilantro. It’s just one of many dishes […]
There’s a long history behind Ernie’s BBQ, with its eclectic mix of Libertarian philosophy on the walls and funky decor. It usually leads to stories about Ernie Siebert, a good ole’ Florida boy who just so happened to also be a part-time rumrunner. Popular lore estimates he once purchased $250,000 worth of booze and stored […]
Proprietor Lynne Esposito, a veteran pizzeria owner from Long Island, bakes a “diet pizza,” at this Davie spot, which is made with low-fat cheeses and a whole-wheat crust (for the natural-foods sticklers among us). Of course, purists can feast on regular ol’ New York-style pizza, not to mention calzones and other Italian entrées. They just […]
