Worth the Drive Every Time!
I travel to South Florida twice a year, and whenever my work takes me to Fort Lauderdale, I make it a point to drive the extra hour to visit this location—specifically for one dish: the Picada.
The Picada here is absolutely outstanding. The portion is generous and beautifully balanced, with the perfect amount of chicharrón and beef, each cooked to perfection. The meats are abundant without overpowering the other components of the dish, making every bite a perfect combination of flavors and textures.
In the photo I’m sharing, you’ll see two of my coworkers enjoying the Picada for the first time. I had been telling them about it for ages, and I finally brought one for them to try it. You can practically see their enjoyment in the picture! What’s even better is that the portion was so plentiful it easily fed the three of us—making it not just a meal, but an experience to share.
Inevitably, that same evening we went to dinner together, and my coworkers had the chance to sample some of the other amazing dishes on the menu. As always, the food did not disappoint, and it was the perfect way to round out a day already filled with incredible flavors.
If you’re anywhere near South Florida, do yourself a favor—make the trip. Whether you come for the Picada or explore the rest of their incredible menu, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning...
Read moreHeading back late from a friend's home in downtown, I was hoping to grab a cheap bite to eat but looking for somewhat of a filling meal since I was starving at the time . Not much was open but luckily through yelp I found this late-night local gem. The restaurant is very casual dining---order at the counter and take a seat type of place which was perfect because I showed up in pjs. Also, I was very pleased with how quick the food came out considering how large my order was.
I ordered the salchi-mixta (French fries, criollas potatoes, grilled beef and chicken, chopped sausage, fried pork bellies, green plantain, white cheese & guac) while my boyfriend ordered the salchi-criollas (criollas potatoes, sausage, & quail eggs). Both of our orders were obviously made fresh and so much better than most things available at that hour. My meal was $11.50 and well worth the money since after gorging myself I still had plenty to take home for a full meal the next day. The salchi-criollas did not lack in size either and was an affordable $7.25.
This one is definitely a keeper and will become my go-to late night eats...
Read moreThe quality of Food, for fast food late night place is just ok, the steak is so chewy, this short you on cheeses and sauces, and the tequeños taste like cardboard. but in reality what’s not so good is the costumer service. They are literally so rude, the girl that just cashed me out made me wait on the front of the line as she took care of the others right behind me, went to the back and played at the counter to come back at me with this attitude mumbling gave me the eye rolling, it’s exhausting yo name the rest. Mind you I just walked in to pick up an order, it wasn’t even busy and all I did was to mention it, obviously after she gave me the change to talk. If they literally can’t find good quality of people yo work at the counter, no matter how the food is, they’d consistently will lose their client base and reputation over all. There is another fast food Colombian place about a mike from this and the food is good but service is way...
