La Costa, Olas

I only have one experience here and I typically would not be writing a review of a Ft. Lauderdale Beach restaurant unless it was negative, but I am completely impressed by La Costa, Olas. It is described as a "Latin American" Restaurant, being Honduras/Mexican owned (not Cuban). This is NOT a typical Mexican style restaurant either. The menu is much more Central American inspired, with a bit of Mexican staples you could eat for every meal. Not sure if its a chain or a stand alone but definitely has the atmosphere of a small family owned place, in the heart of the FTL action. The beef spare ribs is not a lot of food, but one of the better meals I have ever had, and I have had many at other great restaurants. Their homemade Chimichurri sauce (cilantro, lime, butter, rosemary...) is phenomena

My husband and I came here our first night in Fort Lauderdale and were blown away. It was a reasonable volumn inside to have dinner unlike some of the other restaurants around that are blasting music. It’s a bit off the main path but so worth it. The margaritas were delicious (we got blackberry and strawberry). The food had so much flavor and was scumtipuous. We had reservations somewhere else for our second night and I cancelled them so that we could come here instead again.

The food was absolutely delicious, and I truly enjoyed every bite. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, which made the experience even better. The server was very kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Service was impressively quick without feeling rushed. On top of that, the prices are very affordable for the quality and portion sizes offered. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and excellent service.

Went in for drinks but smelled so good, we stayed for dinner. Everything was great! Drinks were great tasting and not watered down. the food tasted fantastic and the staff were all super friendly, including our waitress whose name I wish i could remember. She helped us pick what we ate and we truly appreciate her suggestions. Atmosphere is great for a date or hanging out with friends.

Truly my favorite meal I’ve had in awhile. I do not leave reviews, ever, I despise the negative review culture. But for this meal I would like to give a HUGE shout out. Bartender made me my own personal guacamole, my “house” margaritas came out smoking, literally, and the campechano mocajete was the best food I’ve eaten in years. I’ve never had better pork chops and the carne y pollo was also cooked to perfection. I’m in love ans would be back every day if I didn’t still have enough leftovers for the rest of the week ❤️❤️❤️
