Recommended by friends and now recommended by us. Our 1st experience with Cuban food and we couldn't have picked a better one. Family owned since 1970. A family run business and " home styled food". Very good and nicely flavoured. We tried the pork as well as shredded beef. Tasty and very well priced. The meals came with rice and... More

Comfortable family run restaurant with great dishes and good service. Reasonable prices for Cuban specialties.

I came to this restaurant for the first time back in the 70's. I thought I should return and check it out. I enjoyed the black beans and rice as well as the plantains.

Don Arturo is by far the best in the United States, rivals most in Cuba and is the way Cuban food should be. That... More

It's more of a local favorite and very kitschy, but excellent food and great service...a must go to for dinner.

Having lived in Ft Lauderdale for over 7 years I like to check the top restaurants on Trip Advisor every once in a while to see if anything new has popped up that I haven't heard of. Today to my disbelief I saw Don Arturo at #17. I dined here many years ago and thought the food was good but... More
