JD's is a local gem offering a local selection of beer on tap and partnering with Just Juice cold pressed fresh juice perfect for Miami's heat.“

“I got their carne asada tacos which came with chips (which were perfectly fresh and had the right amount of crunch) salsa and guacamole. And everything was flavorful. I came just before closing and when I thought they wouldn't offer to make anything, they were very kind and said they didn't mind so customer service is 10/10. I would recommend this place to anybody.“

“An absolute hidden gem! I found about this place when I ran into the Kwik Stop for something. Mexican food is my absolute favorite cuisine and I'm known to be a bit judgemental about it, upon first glance it doesn't look like much but a little counter with two stools and a grill behind it. I decided to come back to try the chilaquiles and an horchata. I looked at the menu for sopes which were not there and I asked the man behind the counter if he has them and he told me to give him extra 5 minutes and he would whip them up for me. Beyond kind and accommodating! The food is fresh and prepared right in front of you. He offered me two hot sauces to go with my meal and packaged everything to go. I took it home and enjoyed every single bite! Will be my regular spot from now on for a quick Mexican bite ?“

“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!!“

“I had the chicken that was flavored in jerk sauce, named Chicken Costeño. It was very good. My wife at first had the pot roast but it had guava sauce, so she returned it, and got ceviché. It was taken care of, the manager spoke with us, and it was taken off the bill. It's not that a mistake happens it's how it's handled and it was handled well (and didn't effect the ratings). If ever Miami again will comeback.Dietary restrictions: They had almond milk for the café. I had a dish that didn't have gluten.“

“You can't get a tattoo here, but you can get lots of tacos. Sometimes the tacos have way too much liquid in them and you get a waterfall that pools up on your plate after your first bite. Not my favorite thing, but the food ain't bad. They also have a watermelon cocktail that has a watermelon popsicle. Get that one.“

“Surprisingly good and inexpensive. It's kind of tucked away in an awkward plaza. The food was good, staff was on the ball. I had the shredded chicken and shredded beef flautas and they were pretty good. If I had to rate 8/10 which is pretty good. I have been to a lot of Mexican restaurant in my time and for the money, service and food you can't go wrong.“

“Koko in Coconut Grove, is a place where the flavors are as vibrant as a salsa dancer’s skirt and the decor is more eclectic than a piñata explosion! ? Let’s dive into this fiesta, shall we?1. Grilled Meats: At Koko, the grilled meats are like the Avengers of flavor – they assemble on your plate, ready to save your taste buds from blandness. The chicken? It’s marinated in secrets passed down from ancient Mayan chefs. The steak? It’s so juicy, it moonlights as a watermelon during the day. And the shrimp? Well, let’s just say they’re the James Bonds of the sea – shaken, not stirred, and served with a side of intrigue.2. Argentinian and Desert Decor: Picture this: You walk in, and suddenly you’re in a tango with the decor. The walls are adorned with cool wallpapers and the patio is covered in Cacti. The furniture is that cool mix between modern and old that makes you feel at home. You feel like a rancher and a south beach foodie at the same time.3. Drink Options: Koko takes its drink game seriously. They’ve got margaritas that make your taste buds do the cha-cha, tequilas that make your worries vanish like a mirage, and mezcal flights that transport you straight to the heart of the agave plant. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try their signature cocktail – the “Desert Rose.” It’s like sipping a sunset while riding a llama through the dunes.4. Cool Location: Koko isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a secret hideout for flavor explorers. Tucked away in a Coconut Grove park, it’s like stumbling upon a treasure chest filled with guacamole and good vibes. The palm trees sway to the rhythm of the salsa music, and the parrots gossip about the latest fashion trends.5. Stellar Service: The staff at Koko? They’re like the Avengers’ support team – efficient, friendly, and always ready to save the day. Need a refill? They’ll swoop in faster than a toucan chasing a mango. Spilled salsa? No worries – they’ll summon the salsa fairy (yes, that’s a thing) to clean it up.In summary, Koko is a magical blend of flavors, colors, and laughter. It’s where tacos meet tango, and guacamole meets giggles. So, grab your maracas, put on your sombrero, and let Koko take you on a culinary adventure that’ll leave your taste buds doing the conga. Ole!“

“We went to the restaurant for the first time, the food was super delicious, good and fresh. My wife and I loved everything. The guys, Lurdes & Eduardo, were super attentive, friendly and delicious dishes that they recommended to us. We had a great time. I recommend everyone to go. We will be visiting them. from now on ??????“

“Delicious food, but be careful with your tips. There's already a 20% tip INCLUDED, and then they select the next screen and suggest for to "add a tip". After I requested a receipt, I saw that was additional tip, not adding a tip. I complained and the waiter apologized and said I can get a free drink or food item to compensate the additional tip and the inconvenience it was about that missing information. So be careful with that. I don't like people abusing and stealing by playing the victim. Unfortunately, it's a common thing in this place to do that. It has happened to me before.“

“My boyfriend and I are avid taco lovers. So we are always searching for restaurants that have the best tacos for the best price and this place is it! The food is absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic. Jorge greeted us at the door and took great care of us. I couldn’t have thought of a better place to share a delicious meal for Valentines Day they even had mariachis!1000% suggested!“

“The server remembered us, since we come here often, as this is our favorite location. The staff here are all really niceand the service is amazing as is the food. Fun games for all ages, full bar, good music. Everything here is basically made to order and well worth any wait which is usually not more than 5 to 10 minutes.“

“The food was delicious and the portion to price ratio is honestly pretty good. We did the 1lb mixta and everything was cooked to the point we asked. The place is clean and the staff are super attentive. They are fast and it’s amazing that quality is not missed with the speed. The ladies there are super sweet and welcoming, definitely a 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a late night bite in Kendall.“

“My office order catering from here and the food was super fresh. From the fresh chips to the fresh pico de gallo it did not disappoint.

Thank you for your services we will definitely be ordering again !“

“Me and my friend wanted some late night mexican food due to natural burrito day! We looked up on the map the places that were open nearby that had burritos and this food truck was one of the options. They had great reviews so we decided to stop by and I’m glad we did! The owner was closing in a bit but he gladly took our orders and let us eat while patiently waiting. Great customer service and the burritos were freaking fire ( gave us free guac too)Goated. 100% recommend“

“The best ice cream you can find in homestead, all kind of fruit flavors, like you never tasted before. My wife and I go there often, you'll be amazed, helados de todos sabores y ricos. Nos encanta este lugar. Full of goodies and treats.“

“We stopped here because we read that this is one of the best restaurants for Authentic Mexican food and how happy we were!! What delicious food, all fresh and authentic!!! The flautas are delicious... the meat cake is totally delicious!! and that chili peppers with onions and carrots, ??and the best thing of all THE BEST MICHELADA I've ever had!! I loved it, We are making it a stop every time.. we live in Miami Lakes“

“There are many dining options in CG, but sometimes it’s hard to find something that doesn’t break the bank with food you would come back for. This was a find. My wife and I live nearby and it’s now an option for a non-extravagant and not too expensive neighborhood dinner for two. Half-price bottles of wine on Wednesdays help. All the food was great, the grilled octopus with the green mole and potatoes was particularly delicious and well made. Some of the staff was new, but they were extremely pleasant and professional. Only not so great detail was the music, it really didn’t go with the green, cosy, laid-back atmosphere and we needed to strain our voices even though it was early and there were few other patrons.“

“I confess that at first I had doubts when the person who served me was not Mexican, but they very quickly changed my opinion with first-class service. When the food arrived they confirmed their five stars and recommendations to my acquaintances.Thank you for such a good taste and especially for such kind service.“

“Tacos and margaritas were great ! Taco Tuesday deals are totally worth it! Even though I was given false information by a friend that they were $5 haha , they are actually $8 which isn't bad Our server was one of the owners family members. Very sweet and welcoming. The vibe was just right , weather was great and music was a mixture of all! Will definitely be back again“

“The food was delicious! We ordered a diabla tilapia and a fried snapper. The shrimp cocktail was a little sweet, but tasty. That day there was live music, a great atmosphere thanks to the singer.All the waiters were super attentive, not just the one we had.100% recommended!“

“Often stop by for breakfast and it's always been a great experience. The chicken and beef empanadas are delicious and my go to to for a quick bite. The chicken is shredded seasoned white meat chicken, and the beef is shredded beef ropa vieja style. Both of these are very meaty and always fresh. I've also had a breakfast sandwich made with a croissant which was very good too. Coffee is on point though I wish my coffee would be darker when I say oscurito lol. It's still good either way. I usually order at the window and the staff is quick to take my order and very friendly. When I order something that needs to be prepped in the kitchen, the service has been very fast and I'm always in and out in 10 minutes or less.“

“I'm soooo happy I found this place. I love authentic Mexican food, especially the breakfast. It's so hard to find Mexican food that isn't whitewashed but this is your new place if you're looking for 100% authentic Mexican food“

“They receive you with a basket of chips with salsa and extra glasses so you can help yourself to extra bar sauces, fast service, fast food and very good flavor, although I ordered some chilaquiles with eggs sunny side up and they came very well viewed, it was not a problem because the food was delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: It is located in a small shopping center but there is enough space to park“

“I came into bodega on a Saturday night with some friends, expecting a good time, and that was more than met with Paris as our server in the Mezcaleria. We enjoyed our Saturday night talking, drinking, and eating. She explained everything very well, made sure we felt comfortable and knowledgeable. Overall, a great experience; will be coming back.“

“They are extremely accommodating and nice. Just let them know of any dietary restrictions and they are happy to accommodate you. The seasoning of everything I had was on point, and you honestly can't beat home cooked. And that's what u taste here, home cooked food, made w love. Very chill and casual“
