The food he is very authentic and good. The verde enchiladas have a nice spice and overall flavor. The mole enchiladas is also very good. Had a sweet and nice flavor. Probably the best mole I've ever had. Come and eat here. The staff is very friendly and we sat outside. read more

I just left this restaurant on taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo. My friends have been here before for Taco Tuesday. On their website they advertise five dollar margaritas and three dollar tacos on Tuesday However, today the owner decided he wasn't going to honor that because it was cinco de Mayo, I wanted to leave and go to Paquitos every Mexican restaurant I know has some type of special not even happy hour specials today at Chen Huaye. Honestly, the food wasn't even good. I ordered some steak tacos with hardly any meat in them and the meat had a lot of fat in it. I will not be back. The margaritas will run you between 14 and $18 depending on what you order. I asked what tequila they were using on my premium drink. They use José Cuervo. It tasted terrible. I don't drink José Cuervo save your money and go elsewhere for an overall better experience. read more

What a fantastic night at Cheen-Huaye! I was honored to be part of the first tequila paring foodie event. Service was incredible and the chef did an amazing job with the pairing and dishes. The ambiance with the guest was fantastic. read more

Let me preface my review by disclosing that I really dislike Mexican food. Mexican people are lovely, the beaches are beautiful and Mexico City is one of my favorite cities. Mexican food, on the other hand, is probably my least favorite cuisine. I will eat it only under duress. Last night presented duress. We were trying to get to the Home Depot on 163rd and the traffic was so horrendous, we ended up wedged into a turn lane on Biscayne Boulevard. The best option was to pull into the strip mall where Cheen-Huaye is located and have dinner while waiting for the traffic to die down. Eating here would not be my first choice, or my second choice, or anything other than my last choice, and last night was a last choice kind of evening. That said, there is plenty of free parking in front (although I swear that every other motorist in the lot was drunk or high or both) and the interior of the restaurant is so cute and welcoming! The service was also perfect! We were seated right away and brought menus and water. The menu is small. They have a great selection of tequilas and mezcals, although we were not imbibing last night. We were offered chips and salsa but declined them. I liked that they don't automatically bring them to the table so you stuff your face while waiting for the food. We ordered the shrimp tacos and veggie quesadilla. The tacos came with a black bean puree instead of black beans. I dislike black beans and yet the puree was absolutely delicious! The shrimp were large and nestled inside of a corn tortilla. Yuck on the corn tortilla, but that's my personal preference; I think they taste like feet. The quesadilla (flour tortilla, thankfully!) had a good amount of veggies and a mild melty cheese. I am not a big cheese eater and I find cheddar and jack cheeses to be the most offensive members of the cheese family, so I liked that the cheese here was more of a texture than a flavor. The pico de gallo that came on the side was fantastic. I gave the sour cream that came with it (another big yuck) to Larry. The food was prepared well and very fresh, even though it's not to my liking. I think if someone likes Mexican food, this place is a slam dunk! read more

We have my daughter visiting from NYC for the holidays and decided to try a Mexican restaurant that we've been wanting to try for a year or so. We found the perfect occasion to go to this restaurant, as my daughter is a huge fan of Mexican cuisine. Our family, being originally from Los Angeles, our family was very accustomed to great Mexican food. Although we've been very apprehensive about trying true Mexican cuisine in Miami, we weren't deterred by our past experiences here. We've tried quite a few different restaurants for tacos, burritos, etc. and have been pretty much underwhelmed by the quality and taste of the Mexican cuisine here in Miami. Whereas, other Latin foods are well represented (Brazilian, Peruvian, Puerto Rican, etc) but not authentic Mexican cuisine. Upon entering Chen-Huaye, we were warmly greeted and seated immediately (we were very early for dinner, arriving around 5pm). Seared immediately and offered drinks and appetizers. We ordered a serving of guacamole with chips and salsa. Please note: all sauces and the guacamole were made fresh. We also ordered the tortilla soup (so unique and quite delicious!) Everything was delicious and very nicely portioned. The waitress quickly refilled our chips and salsa, which was very appreciated. I forgot to mention, our waitress was so very pleasant, smiling and was so very hospitable and friendly, which was very welcomed. For our mains: an order of one of the most popular skirt steak items (sorry that I can't remember the name, but I guarantee that you'll love it. Also cooked a perfect medium rare as ordered), an order of chicken Floutas and an order of Seafood Cerviche. Can't say enough how fresh and tasty everything was, including the house made habanero sauce! Lots of tasty delectable heat with a smoky finish! Simply put, exquisite, especially if you are looking for something that adds a beautiful spicy heat to your dish. Flavors are very authentic Mexican flavors (with only a small American influence) , very fresh taste and oh so flavorful. All in all, a truly wonderful experience and need I say, we will be back. Lastly, prices are very affordable and well worth it, as is the top notch friendly service! Thank you Chen-Hauye for a wonderful experience with some amazing food! read more

Four of us went here for an early dinner on Sunday on recommendation. We looked at the menu, and the prices were a little higher than average, but not too bad. They brought us some salsa and tortilla chips. The salsa was really good, but after the four of us finished it, our server did not come by to ask if we wanted some more. We waited for a while too. At one point when the server came by, we asked but we were brought chips but no salsa. My friend had to go to the counter to get some. When we were served our entrees they got one of my friend's order wrong, and mine didn't come out. We both had to wait about 5 minutes. The worst part of that was that no one explained or said anything. I should also say that the place was not crowded at all. I ordered fish tacos that came with refried beans. The refried beans were delicious, but it was a small portion. The fish tacos were kind of dry. They needed some more sauce. The other people at the table enjoyed their meals. While the place was okay as a whole, I probably would not want to come here again. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Read great reviews and decide to try. The servers were friendly. They give you complimentary salsa and chips, so good. We ordered the enchiladas which was amazing! It was our first time trying this dish. We also got a set of 3 taco pastor and steak skirt tacos. So good. Best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. The prices are also reasonable. read more

To start off parking was fairly simple to get, and we were able to get a table fast when we got inside. They have a good amount of staff, and this day it was pretty full inside. It took a while to place the order, but understandable considering the amount of people. Our waiter was very nice! For an appetizer we got the guacamole. It tasted amazing! Super fresh and smooth. And they give a great amount of chips and salsa ro go with it . And for our entrees, we got the chicken fajitas, pollo yucateca, and the arrachera a la campesina. Everything tasted amazing! It was enough food for the four of us. All the meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Finally for dessert we ordered a tres leches and an expresso. very tasty and perfect to end off dinner. Overall good place and would recommend it! read more

We came here for my boss' bday and had a great time! Everything came out fresh and our server was awesome. Doesnt look like much from the outside but its very cute inside. I would definitely try another entree next time, the mole got over powering by the end of it. The tacos looked pretty standard, so I'd skip those. Everyone loved the tamarindos and fresh lemonade! read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food! The service was friendly among the entire staff. We started with their chips and salsa which had the perfect amount of spice. I ordered the verde enchiladas and they were delicious. The verde sauce was excellent and I wanted to cover the rice and beans in it to soak up all the flavor. I also enjoyed a frozen margarita with my dinner. read more

The staff is warm, welcoming, and very professional. The food is reasonably priced. I ordered the special--it was decent, but I'd recommend sticking to the main menu. Everything else was great. The atmosphere is wonderful, and I really enjoyed my time there. read more

What a disappointment! The food is mediocre at best and OVERPRICED like it's a 5 star restaurant and not a hole in the wall in a strip mall with smelly inside and plastic chairs outside. They served $4.5 dry tacos with no salsa (authentic Mexican?). The service was also average at best. The suggested service charge started at 20%, followed by 25%. Suddenly, Matador Room at the Edition hotel seems like a steal. Definitely not a place I will come back to or recommend. read more

This place has the best tacos in Miami! I have to travel all the way up to North Miami from the Gables just to get their tacos! I don't just love any tacos, so that's saying a lot! The taco Tuesday special starts at 3pm and has $5 margaritas (also delicious, and strong!!) and $3 tacos. There is always a DJ there playing the best tunes and really getting you in the taco Tuesday mood. They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa to start which is always so tasty and nice. The happy hour list consists of around 7 different tacos you can choose from. Every time I go, I have to get one of each! If I had to choose, the barbacoa, cochinita pibil and the fried avocado are probably my favorite. I was hesitant about the avocado at first, but it is such a burst of flavor and it not heavy at all! The filling-to-tortilla ratio (which is very important) is perfect here for every taco. Lastly, I would say that the staff are very friendly and attentive. Always ask for the spicy sauce - it's fire (literally)!! read more

This has been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in N.MIA for the past few years. I was bummed out when they weren't open for the summer but I've been able to catch them open with their new hours. I was super excited to try their lunch cv taco special .. so delicious one of my favorite carnitas of course. I love their guacamole, ceviche, quesadillas, and cocktail drinks. What I enjoy the most is the support and authenticity of the waitresses, they are super sweet and genuine.coming to this restaurant gives and overall 5 star experience. Highly recommended they always get the meals right read more

Consistently outstanding food and service. Everything is fresh, flavorful and generous portions. Their mole dishes are absolutely fantastic, as are the fajitas, salads, guacamole and the salsa is the best around. The lunch specials are delicious, including the burritos, as is the amazing crispy avocado tacos on Taco Tuesday. Enjoy the fresh brewed iced tea and flan for dessert as a must! We have been coming here since they opened 20 years ago!! read more

I wish there was a way to give a 6th star. We found this place on yelp as we were staying nearby for the ND-Penn state game (Go Irish!). We were greet by Malena who was super sweet and walked us through the southern Mexican menu, outlining the highlights and things to notice. We tried tacos, Molcajente, and enchiladas in their own custom mole sauce. We love Mexican food and this mole sauce was hands down the best Mexican sauce I've ever tasted, never mind the best Mole. Wild mix of chocolate and spices. Everyone loved their meal and the sweet staff. Margs were great too! Finished with churros which not surprisingly were incredible as well. Run don't walk to this hidden gem in Miami!! read more
