First time visiting @elchurrascaso_miamilakes in Miami Lakes, and I can honestly say I had such a great experience. 🥩✨The atmosphere felt upscale without being intimidating, making it perfect for date nights, celebrations, or simply enjoying a good meal with friends.Every cut of meat I tried was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The drink I ordered had a unique touch that made it stand out, and it was easily one of my favorite parts of the evening. 🍹Between the food, drinks, and ambiance, this is definitely a place I’d visit again.📍El Churrascaso Grill7419 Miami Lakes Dr, Miami Lakes, FL 33014Have you been here before?

One thing about me: I don’t move with hidden intentions.If I need something, I’ll ask. If I can’t get it from people, I’ll take it to God. I don’t believe in being deceitful, strategic, or using people to get ahead.In a world full of takers, I value genuine connections and honest communication. That’s the energy I give, and that’s the energy I appreciate receiving. ✨ by @_ashleydesires_

In the time it takes to scroll through your feed, Broward County generates 20,000 pounds of waste! 😳The good news? Small changes can make a huge impact. Recycling right & wasting less helps reduce our dependency on landfills & waste-to-energy facilities while keeping Broward County clean and beautiful for everyone. 🌎💚✅ Recycle aluminum cans, cardboard, paper, and plastic bottles❌ Keep plastic bags, Styrofoam, diapers, cords, hoses, batteries, and food waste OUT of your recycling cartBefore throwing something away, think about whether it can be reused, repurposed, donated, or recycled first ✨I’m taking the pledge to waste less and recycle right — and you should too!
