Best Mexican restaurants

Rocco's Tacos

Locations in Boca Raton and now on Las Olas Blvd in Fort Lauderdale. Rocco's Mexican food is consistently good and the atmosphere is fun and hip. An open floor plan gives a casual feel and the decor is Mexican with a sophisticated touch. Try their guacamole made fresh at your table ... it's fantastic.

Baja cafe Deerfield

The ambiance is authentic and fun and the Mexican food is amazing. Portions are ample to say the least and the service is very fast. They also offer take out and have a couple of TV's over the bar to keep you entertained while you wait to pick up your order. An endless selection of fine tequilas (Baja is as much a bar as a restaurant) will satisfy any aficionado.

Capital Grille - Ft Lauderdale in the Galleria

Great steaks and a very upscale atmosphere in the heart of Ft Lauderdale a little off the Intracoastal. The rich decor compliments the food and excellent wine list and the service is impeccable. Don't forget to have them validate your valet ticket. This is a great spot for a rich meal which you can promptly dance off next door at Blue Martini.

Best Chicken Wings

2011-10-17T11:52:00.000-07:00

Brus Room - any location

Their grilled chicken wings are the best I've ever had. Nothing like grilled wings in a hot sauce that brings tears to your eyes with a nice cold Guinness to wash them down.

Bonefish Mac's in Lighthouse point

I've never had wings like these before but they were cooked perfectly and super spicy hot. The wings come in a sauce that's almost like a soup in texture. In the soup are onions and jalepenios which really give the wings a bite. The chicken falls off the bone and the flavor is awesome. Bonefish Mac's is a sports grille and a really fun place to watch a game. They're big Stealers fans.

Rickey's in Hollywood

A small little neighborhood bar in Hollywood. Rickey's has been a long time fixture in Hollywood and their wings are legendary.

Hooters - any location

I love the breaded wings at hooters. The pines location is a great place to start your Sunday before heading in to watch the Dolphins.

Best Sushi

Tatu - Hollywood Hard Rock

Awesome atmosphere and a very South Beach vibe make for some great times in Hollywood. Tatu has a fantastic menu (I love the crab Rangoon) and a very good wine list. The bar is full liquor and they have some of the best martinis in town. Loud ultra lounge type music and an ambiance that is truly unique creates a fun and energetic vibe. The family style menu is the perfect fit for an unforgettable evening with friends.

Blue Fin - Parkland town center

Great little family style family run restaurant in Parkland. The food is the focus but they have a nice wine list too. Ambiance is welcoming and warm with a very large sushi bar in the center of the restaurant so there is no mistaking what they're all about.

Doraku - Lincoln Rd South Beach

At the west end of Lincoln road Doraku has a very Asian feel to it. The decor is heavy on the bamboo and the food is authentic and reasonable. Full liquor bar and once in a while they offer naked sushi.
