Who doesn't love tacos? I know I do and with my love for the little Mexican treat why not go to a place called I Love Tacos. I mean, you really can't have the name I Love Tacos and not be good because that would be just plain wrong and in that case it should be called Everyone Hates Tacos but hopefully that isn't the case here!
Anyways, I was in the area so I made my way to I Love Tacos for some grub. Based on the unassuming location in the typical South Florida shopping center you may think this can't possible be all that good. Then, when you walk inside and you see the bright, colorful and cheesy decor, you may feel tempted to walk out in fear that this is going to be Mexican food of the Taco Bell variety but as soon as you see the food you fear will subsides and eventually your first bite will erase any doubt you may have had.
I Love Tacos is the name of the restaurant, so I knew if I had to try anything on the menu, it had to be tacos so I went with the Shrimp Tacos. I was thrilled with my choice. The slaw was delicious (although a little too wet) and more important, the pico de gallo and tortilla were fresh. The shrimp were unbelievably yummy with a light crunchy outer coating that added both flavor and texture.
I don't know if my friend loves tacos but after eating his Carne Asada Burrito, he left saying I Love Burritos (or at least, I still like burritos)!
The food was good, the staff was friendly from the moment we walked in the door and truthful, it is hard to find decent Mexican food this far west so if you truly do love tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas or flautas, it is worth the trip.

If you're looking to watch sports, there are numerous sports bar and restaurants you could go to, but one that that I seem to see all over South Florida is Bru's Room Sports Grill. I decided to hit up the Pembroke Pines location to see what it was all about.
Beyond just being a bar, Bru's Room Sports Grill is a large space with plenty of seating outdoors, indoors, and by the bar. The sports grill also has a ridiculous number of televisions (over 65), so they are most likely playing whatever game you'd like to see.
The food is decent pub grub, nothing amazing but certainly not bad. I most recently had the Slider and Wing Combo with Buffalo Chips. The chips were awesome, the wings were pretty good, but the burger could have used a little moisture or anything period. The sliders were a definite hell no!
My friend ordered the Philly Cheese Steak. It was actually one of the better tasting Philly's I have ever had. The bread, steak, and cheese were on point. Soft, tender and delicious! The French Fries it came with were pretty standard.
Our server was friendly but inattentive. I felt like she and some of the other servers cared more for the regulars and the hot guys they wanted to hook up with.
