    Steak Quesadillas (3 Pcs)
    Montsant V.

    Amazing chips with guacamole and quesadilla. Super nice waiters. Music is nice and makes a great ambience. Perfect!

    I just left and had to leave a review. The food was absolutely amazing. It tasted so fresh and flavorful. The service was really great and attentive. I would recommend eating outside because it's like an oven inside, but the outside seating was decorated nicely with good music playing. If you're on vacation and want some good food I'd recommend this place 100% Special mention: the chicharron was fresh, hot, and delicious!

    Veggie Taco + Beans
    Rohit A.

    El Taquito was on our last stop on the Little Havana street, and we were excited to try their Mexican cuisine. We ordered the Veggie Taco Bowls, and added extra beans to that order. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with statues frogs in the front which the kids enjoyed. The Veggie Taco Bowls were very good and presented nicely. I wish they had added more beans, since we paid extra for them. Maybe a language thing. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at El Taquito, and the service was good. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, and the food was delicious and well-prepared. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in Little Havana. I would ask for a printed receipt since depending on the size of the group the tip is already included and the electronic bill gadget does not show that and you might end up double tipping.

    If nothing else is open, then ok - I guess, but I wouldn't purposely return. THE PLACE: Located in Little Havana, plenty of street parking is available. El taquito is very well decorated, is clean, organized and has a great "mom & pop" feel to it. THE FOOD: The food options are typical, on my visit, I have 3 al pastor tacos. 1/5 edible yes, but were very dry, no sauce, barely any pineapple and the meat was straight-up burned. I have to take out many charred pieces. Not to mention I paid 12 dollars for 3 mediocre street tacos with no sides. THE SERVICE: Staff seemed overwhelmed but were ice and worked quickly.

    Ahogado chicken burrito
    Sergio F.

    When I list an item in my "Late Night Gourmet" list, it means a place that typically does not have white table cloth service and space isn't a premium. However, it's not a knock on the food. It's a lifesaver after a drink (or 3) or conversely a quick lunch during the day when you're starving and don't feel like being boogie. On all of those counts, El Taquito II fits the bill! I stopped by for a bite with friends after a nearby Yelp event and we snagged two tables in the cozy inside as well as some bar seating. The soundtrack was tropical I believe (the drinks were pretty good from the earlier event :) , the seats were backless stools and our waitress pretty decent. But the conversation and jokes with our crew was the best. My sustenance was their "Ahogado" chicken burrito; a sizable and deliciously cheesy & sloppy tortilla with cilantro, plenty of cheese, salsa verde and a decent amount of chicken pieces. I believe chips and salsa would have been extra, though the salsa verde tasted good. All In a all El Taquito is a solid spot for a quick bite in Little Havana.

    Tortilla Chips with Guacamole
    Jessica R.

    Went there on a Friday night and the ambiance was good. Not too crowded. We sat outside and it was nice. We had the passion fruit margaritas and the corona margarita. They were delicious and huge! Very tasty and refreshing. We had the elote, esquinites and chips with guacamole as appetizer and they were very fresh and yummy. As entrees we had the churrasco tacos, steak sopes & Al pastor tacos. They were fresh as well and very tasty. Also very satisfying. For dessert we had the churros and they were okay. The service was okay. Thought it could of been better and more attentive.

    Tamales
    Catherine J.

    Wow. Amazing. Took my cousin here visiting from Mexico and thought why not just try and see if it tastes like our grandmas. To our surprise it might have surpassed her tamales but we asked to keep that on the low. Amazing service followed by amazing food. I wouldn't miss it.

    Good after hours taco place! Have tried most of the tacos and find them tasty and the best part is the price! Good for large groups and the service was fast.

    While we wait 20 minutes for someone to come to us. At least could've had water.
    Jaritza S.

    Terrible service. Beautiful location but the service was bad. The cooks had better service than the front. The sweet lady cooks looked concerned about what was going on and at least looked at us unlike the rest. They even alerted them that we are waiting even though they know that. Food was delicious. The drinks were not great at all. My spicy margarita tasted super sweet. We waited 20 minutes to get a server. I don't know what they had going on but they had no manners or respect for the guests. Two tables in front. The whole time they were all arguing over something. I felt like I was in a reality show. I left very disappointed and will never return because of the treatment. I would've left but I stayed for my stubborn friend. Service is the number one thing. My server had a bad attitude and was basically rushing when were paying and not even at least a smile or thank you goodbye nothing. My friend was telling me about this place and we were super excited to check it out so this is definitely a let down. And especially for the prices as well.

    Veggie Fajitas supreme 10/10 Steak fajitas Supreme 10/10 the mango margarita is $18 but they are big and yummy this place serves some delicious mexican food, is in a great spot, plays great music, and the outdoor seating is very nice. I recommend to anyone. I will definitely be back!

    Flauta
    Pedro L R.

    Would I go back to El Taquito? Definitely!!! But I would have to order 8 meals. One to dine-in and one for each day of the following week... Great staff, delicious meals (taco salad, flauta, and my favorite tacos-al-pastor), music and ambiance was very folkloric and reminded me why I like going Up & Down 8th St, rediscovering the "latino flavor"

We went here between January 27 & February 6/2026. La Potranca has five Florida locations, but this cantina does not feel like a chain. Authentic sabor Mexicano with an excellent friendly staff. Family friendly & handi-able accesible from the parking lot. This location gets full by 7pm but there is extended service & seating in the common covered courtyard. Plenty of parking in this strip mall location. Service is excellent, fast, & great choices of tacos & drinks. You can choose from 14 different meats/cuts for your tacos, including birria & al pastor. Bow to the taco! Also gringas, vampiros, & burritos. They have bowls (they're BIG) & brunch. p.s. try the churros with 3 dipping sauces. Drinks are extra special here. The clamato & beer cocktail is very unique. Served in a Tajin rimmed large mug, with lime & a tamarind wrapped straw. Excellante! Also a variety of margaritas served in whimsical glasses & their three house cervazas (beers) on draft. La Potranca pays homage to iconic singer & actor Vincente Fernandez "King of Ranchera". Check out the interesting connection with the staff or online. The staff here is excellent. Very helpful when navigating the menu. Very friendly. True professionals. Special shout out to Mauricio & Ralphael - you hombres make this place truly special. Mucho Gracias. We give La Potranca our highest recommendation.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food.

I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost!
