Pembroke Pines may feel like a small town, but its food scene is anything but provincial. Whether you want Mediterranean, Mexican, Peruvian, Japanese, fine dining, or bar food, Pembroke Pines has you covered. Check out the eight best restaurants in Pembroke Pines.  

 

Sergio’s

3620 Pines Blvd. Pembroke Pines, Fla.

(954)-381-7711 

It’s impossible to live in South Florida and not have a good Cuban restaurant in your city. And Sergio’s fills the task in Pembroke Pines. Its picadillo reminds you of the one your abuela used to make, and its croquetas are unrivaled. It’s a South Floridian dining experience that you won’t forget.  

Havana 1957

14571 SW 5th St. Pembroke Pines, Fla.

(754)-210-3499 

Havana 1957 is another Cuban restaurant, but it’s so good that it’d be criminal to not include it in this list. Havana 1957’s food is equally as authentic and delicious as Sergio’s, but as soon as you walk inside, you’re transported to Havana circa 1957. Go figure, right? Dine on vaca frita de pollo and truffle yuca fries while drinking a pina colada and listening to Celia Cruz for the ultimate Havana 1957 experience. 

Brimstone

14575 SW 5th St. Pembroke Pines, Fla.

(954)-430-2333 

The best brunch spot in Pembroke Pines is Brimstone. No discussion. Conveniently located in The Shops at Pembroke Gardens, Brimstone is only steps away from your favorite store. Imagine spending your Sunday drinking unlimited mimosas for $25, eating Brimstone’s famed shrimp and grits, and laughing with your closest friends only to go shopping after. Count me in.

Mazza


15749 Pines Blvd. Pembroke Pines, Florida

954-436-9997 

If you're searching for the best Meditarrean cuisine in Broward County, then look no further. Mazza specializes in authentic Greek and Lebanese dishes ranging from savory chicken shawarma to the best Spanakopita this side of the Atlantic. Drop by on a Friday or Saturday at 8 p.m. to grab a glass of wine...or two and experience Mazza's live belly dancing show.

Agave Bandido


14531 SW 5th St. Pembroke Pines, Fla.

(954)-367-6141

As soon as you step through the doors of Agave Bandido, you quickly realize that this is not your average Mexican restaurant. Your eyes dart back and forth between the purple fluorescent skull chandelier and the sugar skull mural before finally landing on the wall of tequila and mezcal. You order a $5 happy hour margarita and the barbacoa tacos, and as you take your first bite, you understand that Agave Bandido is your new Taco Tuesday tradition.  

The Pub Pembroke Pines

Level29
