Marando Farms
My sister-in-law was on a hunt for organic corn to feed my adorable nephew for months before I found this place! Best of all, as one of the employees saw me jumping for joy at the sight of organic corn, he went up and cut the price in HALF! That would NEVER happen at Whole Foods! By far the most affordable, best and largest selection of organic produce in the area and lots of delicious specialty items including delicious croissants for just a buck.
Sal's Italian Ristorante
I got lost on the way to a meeting and stumbled into this place for lunch. The pizza is terrific, perfect crust and the sauce, made from 100% Italian tomatoes, is just the right amount of sweet. You can either grab a slice to go or eat in at this really nice, clean restaurant. Great lunch specials- they serve all kinds of stuff. If I get lost in the Sunrise area again any time soon, I'm heading over to Sal's for lunch.
Your Big Picture Cafe
An eclectic combination of caffeine and Zen, Your Big Story Cafe is a great place to get together with friends and java up, or relax and read a book. Though the coffee is excellent, competitively priced AND they use organic milk, this place is not just a coffee shop. They sell herbs in bulk, lots of nice-smelling candles and oils, books and more! Wonderful local cafe with a peaceful atmosphere and lovely decor. Plus their cupcakes are ah-mazing!!!
El Rinconcito Latino - Broward
El Rinconcito is the best place to go in Pembroke Pines for yummy, authentic Cuban food. They make great tostones and you'll find their ropa vieja is just how abuelita makes it. Portions are plentiful and at an unbeatable price. Great place for a homestyle Latin meal with all the fixins. The amicable staff and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home.
The Greek Place
You know, a good stuffed grape leaf is hard to find, and the ones at The Greek Place are friggity fantastic! Delicious food, cool and fun atmosphere and the staff is extremely gracious and friendly. Great neighborhood restaurant and adorable decor. You really feel at home at this place, even if you're not Greek ;)
Assaf Salon and Spa
I get the royal treatment every time I go to Assaf's. Their mini-keratin treatment leaves my hair sparkly, shiny and frizz-free. Karen is the best stylist ever. They also have a great assortment of Aveda products and provide great suggestions based on your hair type. Best salon in Sunny Isle area.
Piola Pizzaria
Variety is not lacking when it comes to pizzas at Piola. Lots of delicious specialty pizzas including the Sao Paulo which features delectably creamy catupiry cheese- a must try! Their happy hour special is the best on Lincoln Road. Pizza special starts at 5pm with $7 pizzas and $5 capirhinas.
