El Santo Coyote

Miami's Mexican options offer a little too much Chipotle and Taco Bell, and not quite enough homemade guac and corn tortillas. But head towards Homestead, and there's a plethora of south of the border favorites that are better than the fast food standbys. In addition to serving up fresh, authentic Mexican eats, Homestead's El Santo Coyote is a gallery of sorts for Spanish-style, hand-painted pottery. Snap up carnitas, chicken, steak, tongue and tripe (small intestine) tacos - or indulge in guacamole made tableside by friendly staffers. Get a gander at the aesthetically appealing decor, and enjoy an afternoon away from fast-paced city living.
