50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Miami Shores

“Great taco stand hidden behind Chevron gas station and car wash. Had Pollo, Carne Asada, Chorizo and slab Bacon tacos. Basic small street tacos with cilantro, onions, hot sauce. Very well made, bacon was especially flavorful and surprising. Liked it so much that we got more pollo, bacon and chorizo ones. In my quest for finding decent authentic Mexican tacos, this was a great find! The young gentlemen who runs the stand is very pleasant as well.“

“Visiting from L.A. Diego the host, waiter was great. Food was delicious without the salsa, but green and red were home made and made tacos and burritos extra delicious. Tamarindo Spicy Mezcal Margarita was good too. Good Vibes. Outdoor seating in April, some of the best weather. Recommend over other busy and loud Mexican spots on Ocean front with no gimmicks.“

“Vanessa's service was exceptional, amazing, she made sure everything was perfect at my table, she gave me excellent recommendations, the tacos al pastor were a hit, the margarita mango with tajin OMG!!! Everything here was excellent and Vanessa made my experience even better!“

“Worked with Alicia Smith for our Coyo Taco catering needs and she was so incredibly helpful, responsive, and quick. We enjoyed working with Coyo Taco so much for taco delivery for 16 of us to our Airbnb and its all because of Alicia Smith. If you need a large group catering for a bachelorette or big party, highly recommend “

“The waitstaff, hostess and manager were very hospitable. Talked me through the menu and made suggestions based on my tastes. The fish and steak tacos were excellent but the corn esquite was outstanding. The traditional margarita was yummy and they only put salt on one side which is nice. I may have to go back a second time before I leave Miami.“

“The best part of our experience was Constanza, our server, who made sure we were always ordering the best things on the menu. Warm service, fantastic food, margarita pitchers included generous pours, and the Miami vibes were def present.We had the elote, tuna tostada, and birria tacos and absolutely loved every bite.“

“This place was so welcoming and the staff were very lovely. I got a little lunch consisting of cheese quesadillas and a fresh horchata and it was fantastic. I would highly recommend it especially if you don't want to be in a more relaxed environment.“

“Saw this on tik tok and had to try the birria pizza, and it was soooo good. It is enough for two people.The restaurant is an easy walk from south beach area.Nicole was very nice and welcoming.They mostly do to go orders but you can stand and eat in the restaurant as well.“

“Was welcomed in by friendly greetings, and glad i stayed! We had ceviche tacos, chicken fajitas, de la rosa tacos, and chipotle shrimp tacos. Everything was fresh and delicious! Got a pitcher of mojitos and it was amazing and came with sugar cane! Definitely recommend stopping by. Beautiful patio, great service, thank you gonzalo!!“

“Checked this place out for their Sunday brunch with a couple of my friends who were after their oyster deal they had heard about. They enjoyed their oysters and practically ordered all the ones the restaurant had, so if you go on in looking for the same deal i would suggest getting there on the earlier side of the Sunday brunch. They offer bottomless mimosas, Bloody Mary's, Bellinis, or monopolio (draft beer) for $25, they do not let you mix and match unless someone at your table also orders something different. Then you can mix with whatever they ordered. The place is really cute, with plenty of outdoor seating and a cute bar. We were sat at a high top by the bar, but the stools were dirty with what felt like kitchen grease so we asked to be moved to a regular table, and we were accommodated quickly. Our waiter was sweet and did his best given it was his first day. I ordered the Lomo Saltado with an egg (as it comes) it was delicious, loved the sauce. I was surprised with the size of the dish. Very generous portions.“

“The food quality is out of space top notch. If you are very sensitive to taste, you will be very satisfied with their food. All ingredients are very fresh. The service is above average for their menu being somewhat pricey. Reservation is a must. Despite the very tasty food, the portion is kind of small.“

“Good service. However, the outside area is too crowded. In my opinion the tables are too close together. The main thing is that as many guests as possible can be served. This reduces the quality of dinner. Pasta with cheese cream sauce is not recommended. Very bland.“

“Come here all the time and the food is always great, always a good time. The bartenders Megan and Dee are just the best! Also i recommend the frozen Marg…Kid-friendliness: Open air seating and a park next doorWheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp“

“My husband and I were in Miami for a few nights and we walked to Bakan from our hotel. We’re both vegetarians and the food was absolutely delightful- fresh, imaginative without sacrificing taste, and delicious. We loved the handmade blue corn tortillas and the spicy verde sauce, the cauliflower dish was amazing. Very strong margaritas served frosty cold to top it off! Service was great and manager stopped by a few times to make sure we were good. Beautiful decor with plants and artisan tule. We enjoyed every moment at Bakan and will come again next time we are in Miami!Vegetarian options: Lots of great options, including mole tacos and grilled cauliflower. Plenty of vegan choices too.“

“Good food and environment. I play soccer on the back of the restaurant each Thursday, and many of those days, after the game, we go and eat, and have fun. Despite of our attire, we have been accepted. Sometimes is full, and last night we waited for almost half an hour. I even invited the Consul of Honduras with us (you will see some diplomats going in the future), and liked it as well. I also visit you guys during the day with clients. Your state-of-the-art service is the one that make the difference. I highly recommend you.“

“The Nachos and Pink Taco are fabulous! It’s something about those picked jalapeños that make the nachos some of the best I’ve tasted. Chips and salsa are delicious! The Bell Tacos are delicious. Not a bad price considering the amount they give you.“

“Great place to eat with quality food at affordable prices and the staff are friendly and welcoming. First time eating there and we had a great experience. 5 stars for amazing food and great service! Thank you and we'll be returning soon!“

“La Diosa taqueria was really good.We came here on a Sunday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. There was only one other table with 3 clients.The food was great, and the drinks are also very good. We had a variation of tacos and appetizers, and everything was delicious.The cochinita pibil tacos were very good and plentiful. Actually, all tacos are packed with meats. Very filling.Queso fundido with chorizo appetizer was very flavorful and is usually great for sharing.The best overall taco was the quinoa shrimp taco. Outstanding!Service was a little slow even though there were almost no other tables to take care of. That is why this place only gets 4 stars.The restaurant is cozy and has a nice vibe and decor. I will definitely recommend coming here and giving them a try.“

“Im from Indiana on Vacation and decided to check out Taco taco and i gotta say, the food was delicious but the service was even better. Shalina the bar tender was amazing. Great smile, great attitude, overall just great. She made our experience the best. She deserves recognition. When i come back to Miami i will be visiting this location. Thank you“

“Uptown 66 in Miami is a hidden gem delivering Mexican flavors. The cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff create a family-like vibe. The diverse menu features standout tacos bursting with goodness. What makes Uptown 66 special is not just the delicious food but also the attentive “

“Mexican restaurant next to Miami Beach! The atmosphere at the venue was great, and I was completely immersed in the atmosphere of South Beach! The incident during the meal was that there was a problem in the store's kitchen, and the meal had to wait for a long time, so the store gave away a free dessert! This is a rare behavior in North American restaurants. The checkout includes a 20% service charge, but he still asks if you want to tip...“

“The food here is great and authentic, glad to have authentic Mexican food in Miami. Also the price is right. The service is not great nor is the atmosphere as it’s packed and very noisy most of the time but the food keeps us coming back. The fajitas, chilaquiles and especially the flan! Probably the best flan I have ever tasted.“

“Took a group of 15 to dinner here. We sat outside as the weather was perfect that evening. It took a while to get things going with the server but once we did the overall experience was a good one. For this area the Makes Taco's prices were very reasonable. Most places on south each are over priced. Food was really good! The appetizers were delish. Had the chicharrones and the chips and salsa. The meals around the table looked delish as well. I had birria tacos. They were quite good. Overall great experience. Good food good service and cool vibe.“

“Loved the food, the server (Joselyn) was sweet and professional. The ambience was nice. The lunch was delish. Music was not too loud. Was able to have a normal conversation without screaming. My kids loved it too. Definitely come back for more.“

“This is my first time eating here. I absolutely loved it, the guacamole is best I have had. The favors are authentic. The Tres Leches was delicious, see the difference from other places. I will be coming here again! I just wish the restaurant was larger.“

“Emiliano was very efficient explaining both modalities, self order and waiter service. We used both services. He was very quick handling orders over and asking how were we doing at the right time. Great Service!!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsParking: Expensive“

“Great customer service. A total different style of taco place we're use to here in TX. We were shocked on how good it was, every bite on my taco, and burrito was juicy. Salsa Verde was good. Definitely recommend, and we're looking forward to eating there again when we go back to Miami.“

“The food is amazing. I love the quality and care Tacombi puts in their food. It speaks to my taste buds. The bottled soda drinks except for the cola flavor are irresistible. If I did not have any self control I would have bought bottles upon bottles. I definitely recommend coming to this restaurant.“

“I loved the service of Cesar the bartender, his attention was excellent, his recommendations and his charisma were incredible. I live near the place and I really come back for him to do my service... I recommend him and when you return ask for him.“

“La Diosa Taquería is a truly spectacular place. It has a perfect combination! From the entrance they receive you with the best attention, the decoration is magnificent (bright colors, ornaments representative of Mexican culture and a perfect contrast), the food is tasty, the service of the place is attentive to everything (it is fast and with a lot of provision). The cocktails are extraordinary and varied. Without exaggeration, this place has the most delicious margaritas in Miami. Coco helped me, super professional. The explanation of the menu was excellent. I would recommend this site 100%. Of course I will return!!!!“

“I had a carne asado taco and a mushroom taco and my daughter also had a mushroom one and a fish taco. Delicious. Fresh. Loved watching the tortillas being made in front of us and the grill going on. Highly recommend it. Clean and great food.“

“Visited Miami Beach, was recommended here by this funny homeless argentinian guy i ran into. love u pedro??‼️ordered birria tacos, fried yuca and drinks, also ordered for delivery a different day.usually ordered here at night, a total amount of times like 6 during the two weeks i was therealways amazing and juicy. never really dined in because not much space and it’s always packed with a bunch of people dancing and stuff LOL. great atmosphere. i personally just liked eating w friends at the beach or in my motel.“

“I tried jaguar for the first time last week and it did not disappoint! I think what really did it for me was the service, my server Gabriel, was so attentive/helpful. He told me to try the merken sauce and it was 10/10! Will be returning soon!“

“Aida Mexican Restaurant rocks with awesome guacamole to start. The tacos are crazy good, I recommend getting the Baja fish tacos. Their Churros con Cajeta dessert is the bestttttt! Those churros are one of the best churros I’ve ever tasted!!“

“A randomly popped by for lunch while walking along South Beach. I was immediately greeted with exceptionally kind service.Their NA Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita was sooooo damn good. It could be spicier but so fresh and tasty regardless.The cauliflower tacos were delish!!!Plus the view and vibes. You can’t go wrong!Cheers!“

“I had an amazing dining experience! The food was authentic and delicious, with generous portions that left me feeling full and satisfied. The carne asada tacos were tender and flavorful, and the homemade tortillas were a game-changer. The service was friendly and attentive. The vibrant atmosphere and traditional Mexican music added to the festive vibe. I'll definitely be back for more! 5/5 stars“

“A-mazing food and flavors. Facundo, our incredible server/host for the night, helped us select a foodie’s delight of a tasting menu for our large party. They accommodated us at the last minute and never skipped a beat on service. Cocktails and desserts not to be missed.“

“Food is amazing especially their tacos ? ? ? Recommend their elite with tajin is the best ? on the cob. They don't have beer but they have sodas and their sauces for their dishes are delicious. Jenny their cashier is super nice and friendly plus the cooks and the rest of the kitchen staff make you feel at home. Not really a place to dine in. Can get crowded because restaurant is narrow. Highly recommend their pastor tacos with or without pineapple ? ?Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos or their Pico de Gallo.Parking: It's in a small parking lot that can get full during lunch and dinner.Kid-friendliness: Family oriented establishment. No kids menu.“

“I recently vistied Oh Mexico in Lincoln Rd and my server Ana was amazing. She explained the menu and made great suggestions for my table. which I loved. I tried the mix Molcajete with the red sauce and im glad Ana recommended and expalined the dish to us. It was delicious and the maragarita was too. Keep up the good work Ana!!!!!! Will come back to visit you soon xo“

“I came here only to see what became of Soyka. I wasnt disappointed.The item on the menu that is a must order is the Mezze Sampler (gluten free). Its a great take on each item. I wont spoil it... just order and youll be happily suprised.I ordered the Ribs for my entre, and it was wonderful. I wanted the Tomahawk steak but my company wouldnt share it with me at the moment so I'll have to return to try out their 42oz $240 cut of meat.The arepas are divine, though requiring you to order 2 is kind of despicable when the menu only displays the price for 1. They alre also pretty small, so be prepared to hash out $32 for 4 tangerine width arepas with knockout flavor. Theyre the little thicc bois on the menu.The bill was roughly $100 per person if you order food without looking at the price. Though theres great value in the pre selected menu for $60 per person; a 3 course meal that includes an appetizer, entre and desert.Overall I was happy, but they need to redesign their menu to include allergen accomodations such as Gluten Sensitive/ Celiac Friendly and Shellfish. They did show an appropriate amount of concern and even made us feel more than accomodated. We even got a visit from the Sous Chef for assurance.This place is a great spot to take a date or have a romantic dinner with your partner. I want to come back when they have dancers and loud music, again a party or date environment. I dont recommend this place for family dining even though they do jave highchairs.I forgot to take pictures. Next time.“

“Chito's is an unassuming food truck tucked between buildings off NW 2nd Ave. You need to be patient, as the food takes a bit to prepare, but it's so worth the wait. Crispy tacos loaded with juicy meat at a reasonable price. Soooo delicious! I'm not a big taco person, but for the price and flavor, this will probably be my go-to food spot when I'm in Wynwood.“

“We found this place on a simple search online and wow we found a gem. We had guac with chips, and then we shared 5 different types of tacos. All were absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was friendly and casual. Definitely want to go back if we’re in the area again.“

“THe view of the rain forest at sunset is magical! The open air dining room and relaxing music made you feel part of the outdoor landscape. The food that we ordered, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees for 2 people was outstanding with generous portions. Our.server,Jamie? , added to the experience. She was friendly, knowledgeable, didn't rush us and allowed the right amount of time between courses. By the end of the meal we felt like she became a new friend! I highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“My first time experience in talavera was great and the restaurant had a nice vibe. Our server Javier was fantastic and the food was delicious. The Guacamole with chicharron was amazing & the tacos were awesome and a nice portion and variety. They have a full stock bar and variety of drinks so you have plenty to choose from, the margarita was great! I will definitely be returning to talavera to try the rest of their delicious menu. Thank you Javier for providing a great service and experience.“

“A gem in Brickell, it's a must try! You can blame me if it becomes your favorite spot, it's okay. Food, drinks, fruit bowls! juices you name it, they have it and the presentation is just as amazing as the flavor and the décor inside!“

“We come here all the time....we just got home from there tonight and decided to write this review it absolutely couldn't wait! Alejandra our server was absolutely awesome!!! She started off my warmly welcoming us and suggested appetizers like the Guarnachos and home made Guacamole...beer and cocktail suggestions followed...it's a work day so we came in for a couple sodas and a quick bite with no intentions for dessert but once again Alexandra suggested several choices so of course we couldn't pass up the flan and we're so glad we took her advice because it was outstanding!!! I've lived in Little Havana my whole life and it was the best flan I've ever tried and believe me I've tried many...I've also been going to Taqueriad since I was a little kid and have witnessed the amazing changes and tremendous improvement to the restaurant...I'm treated so well every time I go there and will continue to do so! Thank you again and keep up the fantabulous work!!!“

“I had some queso barbacoa tacos (birria); delicious, in the company of a Chelada with Pacífico beer!…an excellent recommendation from Lidia Colin, who treated me wonderfully. Ask about her from Monday to Friday, you'll thank me! Excellent place; Really!“

“We ordered the catch of the day tacos, fantastic! 2 crispy fish tacos with pickled purple shredded cabbage! We also got the chopped salad with chicken. This was also wonderful!The dressing was so tasty!The corn chips were fresh and salsa had great flavor!We also snagged the cheese quesidilla, which we wouldn't get again. No taste but they were very cheesy!“

“We planned on going to lucali's for pizza seeing that they were open to 11pm. They were closed and refused us. Same with barceloneta's right next door. But tequiztlan welcomed us despite their kitchen closing soon. We were very grateful for their hospitality and their food was amazing. Gods plan brought us there and we had an amazing experience.“

“I was surprised to see that there was one in fl because last time I had it it was in Jersey. Nonetheless I went to ordering to the one in Palm Bay and somewhere along the way the location shifted to Malabar. When I went to show my husband he then informed me that it was a 100 mile location and that’s not what i obviously wanted so I panicked and called immediately and spoke to a lovely lady named Kaila. I was panicking worrying if I was going to get it refunded or it’s something that most places do and say that’s not my problem or I can’t help you. My perfect night was ruined and your amazing manager was able to make me feel like I’m not a dummy ? and she informed me that it happens a lot more than I thought. She communicated throughly and kept her word and made sure my refund went through. Thank u for going up and beyond and saving my night cause between the food and the generosity it turned my mood around. I feel like we so often are so quick to write about the bad but disregard the good so here is my acknowledgment to someone who truly deserves it ❤️“
