La Granja - Fort Lauderdale

I have a simple philosophy about food: for the most part I 'll try anything once, because even if it turns out badly I 'll be get to eat again in a few hours! That said, I 'd driven by La Granja several times and, other than recognizing a Spanish name, knew nothing, but was curious. (And rather than coming here first, I finally just jumped in. After all, (see first statement.)First recommendation: Bone up on your Spanish, and read the menu here first, because it 's big, and because at the counter it 's on a computer screen that scrolls (I did say it 's big) There 's one plastic copy on the counter you can review as well, but if there 's a line you are kinda expected to read fast, because it is fast food after all... Anyway, between me and the counter attendant I sorted out my options, and ordered the spicy garlic fish with shrimp. O. M. G. It was so delicious I had to slow myself down as I started gobbling it down. Mind you, it says fish, and it 's fish, but her English seemed to fail when I asked what kind of fish...lol Didn 't really matter though because the creamy garlic sauce was the star. The shrimp are small but numerous enough, and flavorful. The side salad, basic: lettuce, tomato and a LOT of onion. Fresh, nicely dressed, a good offset for the garlic. So, anyway, AFTER I ordered, and after I started eating, I learned here that La Granja is a Peruvian place. And an always good sign, most of the customers appear to be Latino, and I 'm willing to bet, Peruvian. In closing then, good food, plentiful, reasonably priced. I 'll be back!

I know this is not a Michelin star restaurant and just a fast food place. But wow, the food was great!!!We had not being to a La Granja restaurant in years but happened to be near this one on Sat. We were hungry to decided to go in. The place was full of locals which is always a good sign. Service was good. Order took 10~15 mins. Food was hot, fresh and super tasty!! We both ordered a bowl- 1 chicken 1 pork. Both meats were very well seasoned ??Service size is good too! We actually took leftovers home. Overall a great place to eat good food at a counter service restaurant. Definitely recommend!

Nice and comfortable place for you guys! The place was very clean and very good condition and the atmosphere was great. So good to taste and enjoyed my experience with this one.Food: 5/5

Damn this place is good. Also the employees are fine, they don’t need to bend over backwards for y’all, the food speaks for itself.

Food and service were both bad. Black beans tasted a few days old. The restaurant appeared to be clean with ample people inside. Maybe you should order in when eating here. My order was to go.
