Las Olas

Cuisine: Latin, Mexican

10Best Says

A Cardiff staple for over 30 years, Las Olas is a festive, popular place to enjoy Mexican food and a good margarita. Las Olas translated means, "the waves" which is appropriate given its location directly across the street from the beach. They claim to have invented the now-famous fish taco. The pride themselves of always serving healthy fare from trans fat-free oil to locally sourced, fresh ingredients. Take advantage of the Puerto Nuevo Style lobster served from October through March. Should you be hosting an event, Las Olas caters. Go early on weekends in order to avoid disappointment.
