Las Colinas Restaurant — Restaurant in Wilton Manors

3/24/25——Another Cuban restaurant! Today is my little sister’s birthday, and since she keeps saying she wants to marry a Christian Cuban man, I thought—why not help her dream come true, at least halfway? So, I celebrated her birthday at a Cuban restaurant.

I took a Lyft from my hotel. It was about 15 minutes with no traffic, which in Florida feels like winning the lottery. When I arrived, I was happy to see it was a regular Cuban place—the kind I like. No fancy lights, no Instagram traps—just good food and strong coffee.

As I walked in, I had a weird flashback. I thought, “Wait, have I been here before?” I checked my Google Maps reviews like a detective, but nope, no trace. Guess I haven’t. I chose a seat at the last row of tables, you know, the kind of seat where the wise people sit—close to the exit and far from drama.

At the entrance, there was a table covered in business cards, flyers, and some random things. I always dig through those—I treat it like a treasure hunt. I grabbed a local magazine and took my seat. Then came Victoria, my server.

I started with two croquetas and some spicy sauce—not because I’m sick, but because I’ve been stuffed up. Hot sauce opens my sinuses and my soul. For the main dish, I ordered Perico-style huevos revueltos with three salchichas and tostadas. Yes, I was hungry and a little dramatic. For takeout, I got tres leches, bread pudding, a pineapple Jarrito, and coffee. Priorities.

The coffee here? Amazing. Cuban coffee is not just a drink—it’s a lifestyle. Victoria and I chatted a bit, and I found out she’s from Mexico. Super sweet and very kind. Honestly, she made the whole meal feel like a visit to a cousin’s house.

Moral of the story: celebrate birthdays with food, dreams, and a little hot sauce. You never know what you’ll discover—maybe even a Cuban husband for my sister . But for now,...

This is one of the few Latin restaurants in the immediate area and the only one that serves grits. There is table and counter seating available and to-go service from a window. I usually only eat breakfast of grits eggs, toast and cafe con leche. The breakfast menu includes ham, bacon and hash brown potatoes. The lunch menu includes the typical Latin flair of Cuban sandwiches, beans and rice, churrasco and other steaks and chicken and so on. The orders are taken quickly and the food arrives quickly as well. I don’t live in the area so I tend to eat only breakfast here, I’ve eaten lunch here only once, it was very appealing. The portions are reasonable and so ate the prices. Waitress Sylvia was very polite and always nearby when I wanted more water, had a question or was ready for the check. The place, including the marquee sign can use a makeover baca use of the weathered look, however, the restaurant is always clean, inside and out, a makeover would probably mean increased prices. The bathrooms are single-accommodation and has a huge bowl of condoms. I would eat here more if the minimum order with a credit card was not $10, my breakfast is usually $6 or $7 with tip and I have to make sure I’ve cash. My order never is $10 or more. This is a nice neighborhood choice or a quick stop while passing through the...

Super disappointed to be writing this review.

The food is always top notch and exactly what I’m craving when I want some Cuban cuisine.

I ordered some food for pickup last night and when my app told me it was ready my husband and I went to the store - my husband waited for 15 minutes because the first woman who attempted to help my husband said the order wasn’t ready yet.

The second person to come look for our order and first tried to give my husband someone else’s to go order.

Then she told my husband that the order had already been picked up to be delivered by someone else, my husband tried to explain that wasn’t possible as our order was not for delivery and if they messed up and gave our food to someone else that was their error and we still wanted our food.

After 10 minutes of the woman trying to call her boss (who wouldn’t answer) my husband finally said forget it, we will call and get our money back and take our business elsewhere.

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just re-make our food since they screwed up and gave someone else our food and I don’t know why that needed to be called to her boss anyways.

Service is lacking and to have at least one person who is fluent in English would probably assist with issues regarding food orders.

Very very sad and disappointing as I...
