The self-serve-at-a-counter setup speaks of fast food, as do menu selections such as burritos, chimichangas, enchiladas, quesadillas, and so forth. But the food is tastier, more authentic, and much fresher – prepared from scratch daily – than anything you could ring up at BajaTacoFreshMexBell. Some menu items are better than others. Patrons with hearty appetites […]
Finding good Mexican food on Miami Beach is about as likely as finding a cheap beer at LIV. But miracles do happen, and Alma Mexicana might just be one of ’em for beachgoers seeking a good burrito. Particularly popular for their speedy lunchtime delivery service, this inexpensive eatery serves up tasty South of the Border […]
The building that houses the Anderson has been a bar for far longer than most of us have been alive. Restaurateur Ken Lyon has given the space new life by revitalizing the beloved Magnum Lounge with jazz nights and a menu of classic dishes like a “square” burger and steak frites. Outside, a lush garden […]

The focal point at Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is a pair of slowly twirling stacks of meat. The glistening, dripping columns of pork shoulder, layered with bacon and chicken, are topped with a pineapple whose juices sweat down into the meat. The method is inspired by small roadside spots on the outskirts of Mexico City. […]
The strength of this Mex café is the mom-and-pop appeal. Begin with a complimentary basket of crisp yellow corn chips and zesty tomato salsa (a small dish of smooth, mellow guacamole is worth the two-dollar surcharge). A recommended starter is salbutes: small rounds of thick, fried tortillas topped with shredded chicken and a small dice […]
This teeny, tiny little Spanish outpost in Edgewater earns its moniker (Rincon Escondido, roughly translated, means secret corner). Tucked away in a strip mall, they serve up tasty tapas and Spanish wine at budget-friendly prices. From various montaditos to tortilla Dde patatas to jam
Why travel to a luxury resort in Mexico when you can experience authentic cuisine and vacation-like ambiance in Key Biscayne? At the Ritz-Carlton’s Cantina Beach, you’ll find an open-air, poolside dining room. Don’t overdo it at the addictive guacamole station. Save room for inventive menu additions such as tostadas de cochinita pibil, made from delicately […]
Easy to miss and small inside, Cantina Grill is not unlike many Mexican joints that have popped up in recent years. But it seems to have garnered a sizable following, and the restaurant is often packed with eager patrons likely drawn to the generous portions. The interior is colorful, if not terribly original.

Cantina la Veinte is not your average nacho spot. More than a dozen kitchen workers, browning tortillas and simmering large vats of fragrant soups like caldo de camarón, scramble to stay ahead of the weeknight buzz. The contents of the two-page bill of fare features tortas – Mexican sandwiches slathered with black beans and topped […]
Since it opened in 1987, this “Little House of Texas” has not stopped serving heaping portions of Tex-Mex fare. Starters include the Americanized pleasers you might expect at Señor Frog’s but here are prepared with more aplomb – and more chilies. A fiesta sampler of a quesadilla, flauta, tamal, and taco with beans, guacamole, sour […]
