What we’re about
8/5/2024 --OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
11/04/2024--230+ MEMBERS STRONG!
Who are South Florida Ethnic Foodies (And Pizza Too!)?
1. We're a diverse group of singles and couples who reside in either Palm Beach or Broward counties who get together for the joy of eating, learning, and sharing our travel and eating experiences.
2. We order entrees when we dine together.
3. Sharing our ethnic food with others does not mean we pay more than the price of our purchases.
4. Separate checks will always be issued whether we eat ethnic food or pizza.
5. We leave political and religious discussions to other meetup groups and our friends, neighbors, and family members outside the group.
6. We try to keep our cell phone use to a minimum and focus more on eating and sharing.
7. We happily pay our tab with a reasonable tip for what we've ordered even if we've shared part of our meal with others.
Please read the revised waitlist policy on the group's main page.
You'll be glad you did.
Seriously.

See all- Indian Lunch Buffet 5th Element Delray w/ Alice Hosting!5th Element Indian Bistro & Bar, Delray Beach, FL
Here's a chance to experiment with Indian food (both veg and non-veg) at a lunch buffet hosted by our esteemed member Alice.
Alice has donned the "host hat" elsewhere, so you're guaranteed a memorable experience and an old-fashioned good time.
5th Element has multiple locations and has garnered very positive reviews.
Let's kick off the "lunch version" of South Florida Ethnic Foodies (and Pizza Too!) in grand style and welcome Alice into her new role, if only for one time!
And of course, this post wouldn't be complete without the pesky group rules:
1. Entrees must be ordered assuming the event isn’t a buffet. Pizza is an entree. Breadsticks are not. (Revised)
2. Political and religious discourse is strongly discouraged.
3. Please show up if you RSVP.
4. Please un-RSVP within 12 hours of the event if you cannot attend.
5. Please try to show up within 15 minutes of the time of the event. Arriving later may disrupt the experience of other members who have arrived on time and begun the ordering process. (New)
6. Please don't message the entire group if you won't be attending an event. Instead, un-RSVP and privately contact those who were expecting you to attend.
7. A "3 strikes and you're out" policy is in effect without exception for repeated no-shows and late cancellations. There will be no reminders to members as to their status. Your action or inaction may deprive a waitlisted member of a place at our table. (Revised)
8. The best efforts will be made to offer you a positive culinary and social experience. Your positivity is necessary to complete the circle of fun. As such, negative words toward myself or other group members whether verbally or through Meetup related to restaurant choices, times chosen, or group policies would be best left unsaid.
9. Being made uncomfortable by a fellow member necessitates changing seats or a mental note not to sit together again. With this said, the group has zero tolerance for harassment. (New) - Chifa Taypa Peruvian-Chinese Fusion in Margate!Chifa Taypa , Margate, FL
This should be very special.
I'm game---how about you?
You say there isn't good Chinese food in these parts?
Then say hello to Chifa Tapa.
Chifa Taypa specializes in Peruvian-Chinese fusion.
Highlights include the Sopa De Wantan Especial (special wonton soup) and Chaufa Especial (house special fried rice), blending flavors from both culinary traditions.
Classic American-Chinese dishes like shrimp in lobster sauce are also prepared with exceptional care, making this spot a must-try for those craving bold, flavorful fusion cuisine.
The reviews are very good although the cumulative Yelp rating isn't all that good.
That's because some of the reviewers talk about things beyond the food.
This isn't gourmet dining, but do expect a unique and tasty culinary experience!
I've limited the group to 10 this time although those on the waitlist are welcome to come with the understanding that you might be sharing another table. Please connect with me if you're on the waitlist and you will be coming.
Please be mindful of the group rules.

- Early New Year's Eve (Mexican/Colombian) Dinner at Hacienda!Hacienda Mexican Restaurant & Bar, Delray Beach 33484, FL
Let's squeeze out some of the last remaining moments of 2024 (what a year!) together by eating tasty and affordable Mexican and Colombian food at Hacienda in Delray.
This is a large place and they are offering us part of the "back room" for larger parties at no extra charge.
