My Husband and I can share a dish and leave completely full of yummy food for $10 bucks. Enough said! Their salsas are imaginative and fresh ie: mango salsa, roasted tomato salsa, etc. Service is very friendly. There is a nice "make yourself at home" feel to the place. Our fave is the mahi mahi tacos. The fish is perfectly seasoned and tender, the large pieces of onions and peppers grilled to perfection, beans flavorful, and side toppings plentiful! I like this place better than Zona Fresca, its rival up the street. The service and quality makes me want to keep coming back. Just a note: its very small-so small that the bathroom is outside around the corner. You may enjoy the experience more if you take out.

The Whole Enchilada is the perfect place for a quick, delicious dinner when youre in a rush. 2 people can easily eat for $12 if you share a big entree and an appetizer or some extra guacamole. The service always stands out here--theyre always really friendly and polite. The food is very fresh, and not too greasy. The homemade salsas are excellent, especially the sweet touch of their mango salsa. When im finished with the gym next door and I have no dinner plans, I usually stop by here to get my "protein fix." There is some seating indoors, but I usually see many people do take-out. I think you will really enjoy this little gem.

Was very unimpressed! Building is way too small to accommodate the amount of people coming through at lunch. The food for what i ordered which was one of their burritos was shoddy at best. I ordered a whole wheat tortilla that was either stale or overcooked and cracked and fell apart while eating. The components were terribly wrapped were coming out of the ends before i even picked it up. It was a good 15-20 minute wait which for this product is completely unacceptable. I hate to say a corporate chain is way better but Baja Fresh and Moes destroys this place. Not even worth checking it out as far as Im concerned.

Lot of negative comments that baffle me... the Hasselhoff is to die for. Id say the only place that beats it is chipotle but hey how can you beat a monopoly... Moes food is a joke an tijuanas meat has never tasted right and I live across the street from one... so its saying something that Id make the trek for a dam good steak taco... also the vibe itself is worth it over all the other establishments.... they cook it in front of you so u know its fresh what other mex restaurant can say that?

Can you stop saying this food is Mexican because its not and white people own this restaurant. They need to stop feeding this gross food to the public. You should try real Mexican food because it doesnt taste like this crap. The tortillas are gross and made bad. I wish they can stop using the word Mexican every-time it as a tortilla holding it together and white people stop stealing Mexican food and trying to pass it has your food its no good.

Service was great, I usually start with the rice to see how authentic it tastes and it was very close to what you can find in Mexico. The enchilada sauce could have used more flavor but the salsas were able to enhance the flavor. Black beans were cooked and seasoned. The one thing I would chance is the addition of real meat versus ground beef. You rarely find an enchilada with ground beef.

This is my favorite place in town for Fish Tacos. They are amazing, really great value and the location is really cool and different than most places. Theres a great outside patio and they play fun music. I enjoy the Salsa Bar, and my boyfriend loves that they dont charge him extra for steak in his burrito vs ground beef. So this place gets 5 stars and we will definitely keep coming back.

Not as good as Chipotle, Tijuana Flats or Moes... but a close fourth. Their meats are a bit bland... spice up the chicken, beef, pork, etc... and Id consider going back. Ive been here multiple times. So, Ive found a way to spice up their chicken. You simply have them mix ground beef and chicken 50/50. Its really good that way. Im upping my previous 2-star to a 3-star rating.

The three stars are for the fajita burrito and the mango salsa which are amazing. The missing two stars are because it has taken regularly up to 20 minutes to get lunch which is way too much for a take-out place. Also, if its hot outside, itw warm in there, not enough A/C and theres not enough seating. Also, food can be inconsistent. Amount of meat varies from day to day.

Ive been coming here for years now, the "One Fish" Mahi tacos with the crispy flour shells is my favorite and Im a sucker for the Black Tiger Burrito. To the naysayers that say some items are bland, thats because they dont use extra salt or added fat in their recipes, which I respect. Theres a couple awesome fresh made hot sauces at the salsa bar to spice things up.

GET THE SKRIMP TACOS! NOM NOM NOM. Me and the bae have eaten here many times. Its a great substitute for Chipotle if youd like to switch it up for more options and even fresher fare. Good beer menu, and an exciting salsa bar . . . try the mango salsa, with some sliced jalapenos and cilantro on the shrimp. DELISH. Good guac too.

Ordered benito burrito and the whole enchilada platter. First, its not even close to Mexican food. The burrito was big but taste of old beans and no favor, the platter was slightly better due to the red sauce. Way too expensive for the quality of the food.

$22 wasted... we tossed the food in the trash. No flavor, old beans, dry chicken, chips and salsa were also flavorless!!! The worst Mexican food ever! Will never go back, our friends said the same thing. Save your money.

This place is always on my food radar when I am in the Ft. Laud area. I grew up there and this place is without a doubt the best Tex-Mex around. Zona Fresca doesnt hold a candle to it. Friendly service and great food.

Without a doubt the best Mahi tacos Ive ever had, and Ive had a lot. Well priced, ample portions, great friendly service. Do not miss this place if you are in the area. Definitely worth going out of your way.

Whenever we are in the area-we always stop by. The story behind this little place is fascinating itself. This place offers a variety and choices not found elsewhere. And the sauces and salsas are just yum!

Every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday my office orders from here for lunch and we always get the shrimp tiger burrito, hands down best burrito restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. Even better then CHIPOTLE!!!!

Inconsistent recently :-/ The once-amazing fish tacos are now a mess, half the fish hidden in twice the cabbage, with bad distribution of too much sauce. And even that changes day to day.
