Osvaldo is happy to explain the difference between real Mexican food and the mostly Americanized version ubiquitous in Miami. More important, though, he makes some of the best tacos, quesadillas, and enchiladas you’ll […]

The only thing better than the bean dip – a large bowl of equal parts refried beans and melted Mexican white cheese zinged up with a mild blend of spices with unlimited baskets of tortilla chips – is this authentic, family-owned restaurant’s attitude toward BYOB. Walk in with a six-pack of Corona, and the waitstaff […]
Ernesto’s Taco Shop is an authentic, locally owned Mexican fast-food joint with a menu filled with rare dishes such as tortas (Mexican sandwiches), menudo (cow stomach lining, available Saturday and Sunday), and tacos de lengua (beef tongue). Your favorite meals from late-night Taco Bell runs are here too, just much better: burritos, enchiladas, and chimichangas […]
Firito Taco is restauranteur Alfredo Patino’s third restaurant and his second on 79th Street. It’s a neighborhood he’s betting on. He moved there a few years ago and in 2014 opened the no-frills bar Tap 79, serving a slate of local suds and smart pub grub like crisp saffron risotto balls. Firito steps up with […]

Just off South Dixie Highway, Guadalajara is one of Pinecrest’s hidden dining gems. Unabashedly bright decor and an invitingly open layout elevate it above most Tex-Mex eateries. Yes, the expected offerings dominate the menu; anyone familiar with Taco Bell knows nachos, burritos, enchiladas, gorditas, and flautas. But Guadalajara goes a step beyond typical Southwestern cafes […]
Situated on South Beach’s Lincoln Road, Huahua’s Taqueria doesn’t abide by any authenticity besides its own. It isn’t exactly a Mexican restaurant, nor is it Tex-Mex or even fusion. It’s the kind of place you usually visit after midnight, on evenings when you’ve perhaps had too much to drink, and nothing but a deep-fried avocado […]
Slap some cheese into a tortilla, melt it up, and you have one of the tastiest treats this side of Mexico. At IQ: International Quesadilla Company, you can get a grilled cheese unlike anything your mom ever made. Think ginger, soy, cabbage, mushrooms, chicken, carrots, and bean sprouts inside a light and flaky tortilla. Or […]
Jefe’s Original Fish Taco & Burgers is nothing new to Miami. The yellow-and-orange surfer-themed truck that features “vatos making tacos” has been on the scene since 2010. The truck is still rolling, but it now has a brick-and-mortar eatery in North Miami. Owner Jack Garabedian has expanded on his food truck’s offerings with grilled sandwiches […]

For a place smack in the middle of Little Havana (and one that specializes in tacos), La Gringa may not be the first spot on your list of where to find a well-crafted burrito, but you’d be remiss to overlook these. The meats are mixed with melty cheese, a red-tinged, spice-infused rice, and your choice […]
This place is simply one of the best restaurants for inexpensive, mouthwatering, and authentic Mexican food. The service is usually on the poor side, sometimes even downright rude, so take advantage of the drive-thru. Yes, Pasadita has a drive-thru. Use it. Take those fresh, delectable tacos and burritos to go and enjoy them in the […]

La Quebradita offers a low-key ambiance that practically reeks of being in Mexico. The homespun space has an especially authentic feel during the daytime, when sunlight streams through wooden blinds onto vividly colored tablecloths; there’s also a little outdoor dining patio in front. All the familiar Mexican comestibles are plated here, all at south-of-the-border prices. […]
The brainchild of Jim Heins and Food Network host and cookbook author Ingrid Hoffman, this black and hot-pink truck roves the streets of Miami serving guilt-inducing street food. Its Latin macho burger ($6.25) – a double patty of chorizo, chuck, and sirloin blend topped with caramelized onions, jalape
