Bandoleros Tacos & Tequila Bar - Fort Lauderdale

My go to late night taco spot. I drive past probably 6 other taco restaurants just for the quality of the food and service here. Highly recommend to anyone in the area if you're craving late night Latin food

Can't say enough about how amazing this place is. We found it entirely by accident one night trying to find a place to eat before a play at Broward Center. It was amazing. Went back last night after our son's band finished up a gig with a group of friends and it was just as amazing as I remembered. The service was amazing, the food is off the charts good and I love the atmosphere and decor. We can't wait to go back. All of our friends said same. Highly recommended!

4.5 stars. Cool spot in Fort Lauderdale with very friendly and acommodating staff. Their salsa was made from scratch and one of the best I've ever had, along with some crispy (maybe too crispy even) chips. I had the fish tacos and they were delicious. The only .5 deduction is due to the taco being a bit overpriced.

I came here while on an early birthday vacation for my daughter. We were waiting to go to the museum up the street, so we stopped in for lunch. I’m so glad we did. It was almost completely empty inside, but it looked amazing. From the outside, it might look like a hole in the wall, but once you step in, it’s a whole different world. There’s so much room inside with amazing lighting, decor, and a great layout. Everything was spotless, including their beautifully designed bathroom. The artwork was a nice touch too. We were immediately greeted by our server Andrea. She was absolutely amazing—sweet, personable, knowledgeable, and patient as we, out-of-towners, looked through their delicious menu. My daughter ordered the portobello mushroom quesadilla, which she said was the best quesadilla she’s ever had—super cheesy and flavorful. I ordered the carnitas tacos. I thought 3 were coming, but quickly noticed it was two on the menu. No worries, though, because they were completely stuffed with super delicious slow-roasted pork, red onions, cilantro, and cotija cheese. These were some of the best carnitas tacos I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. If I had to make one small complaint, which another reviewer also mentioned, they were extremely wet. I understand they wanted them to be juicy, but it did cause the tortilla to rip and leak a bit. Maybe they could drain them a little before serving or double wrap them. But still, they were so fire! Both meals came with rice and beans, which was also delicious. In my opinion, they just needed some or a little more lime and cilantro added to them. I would highly recommend coming here. When I visit again, I will be 100% coming back. Some things I want to try on my next visit are: • Carnitas quesadilla & Chicken quesadilla • Carnitas burrito, Chicken burrito • California burrito with carnitas & Short rib burrito • Carnitas bowl, Buffalo chicken bowl & Short rib bowl • And finally the chicken tacos and barrio short rib tacos This might take several trips. HAHA

When choosing to celebrate my birthday at this place, I couldn't have made a better decision. The restaurant provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable celebration. From the moment I arrived, the staff went out of their way to ensure every aspect of the evening was exceptional. Had an AMAZING night with friends and family. Food is delicious 10/10. I really recommend this place!!

We’ve visited Bandoleros Tacos on Second Street in Fort Lauderdale three times now (most recently on a lively Saturday night) and it never disappoints! As true foodies who love Mexican cuisine so much we actually have a place in Mexico, we’re picky—and Bandoleros delivers. The birria short rib tacos and the short rib bowl are out-of-this-world tender and flavorful. My husband is Cuban and knows his way around chicharrones, and he swears the pork belly bites here are some of the best he’s had. The cocktails are fantastic, the music is always on point, and the vibe is fun and laid-back. You’re not coming here for five-star white glove service—it’s casual, energetic, and all about great food and good times. We’ll definitely be back again (and again)!

Amazing! Such a great lunch! We had the queso to start. Loved the freshly made chips. I had the birria tacos with rice and beans. Love the yellow rice and beans with some hot sauce. The birria tacos were so good!! Lots of flavor. We had the churros for dessert. Really taste. Cute interior with a blue ceiling and colorful lights and plants. Totally cute! Very friendly server. She was excellent.

Had the best time at the UFC fight! They have lots of TV’s so that every table has a view. The food was sooo good! & the vibes were the best. Great spot to watch the fights or game days. Nino’s hospitality and service was amazing as well. Can’t wait to go back!!
