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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Just left here and let's just say I won't be back. I get it's a holiday but the wait time is ridiculous. Sat down had to wait 15 mins to get acknowledged. Took our order. Got a Birria pizza, guacamole and a burrito. One hour passed and no food has come to our table. When the food arrived it was the birria pizza. Guacamole was the last thing to come out and it wasn't even all that. Birria pizza was tasty but 1.5 hours just two get something that's is fats to cook is ridiculous. Also went to the counter and they were thawing chicken out in the sink. I will be calling someone or even speak to a manager or corporate because this is ridiculous and someone can get sick. read more

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. read more

The food was tasty. The service was really poor. Twice dishes were mistakenly brought to our table. Then it took more than 10 minutes, once the first entree was delivered, until our third diner got his. No suggestion of apology from a server. She seemed uninterested in engaging with diners. read more

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. read more

This was one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the Little Havana area. Not any more. Today we went back after several times there. It "Changed", menu, prices , quality and quantity. The food and appetizers came out in an incorrect sequence. Meats in the fajitas were dry and charred. The guacamole dish was more chips than anything. When questioned, the waitress coped an attitude. She replaced herself right away, instead of trying to redeem herself. Therefore it's not the same anymore. We did not even bother to take pics, something I enjoy doing when we dine out , if it's worthy. We will opt next time for a different Mexican restaurant. read more

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. read more

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...

If you're looking delicious, authentic Mexican food without the frills and heavy price tag - El Taquito is the spot! Located right in the heart of Calle Ocho, this place hits every "hole in the wall" requirement. The service is so/so, it's pretty much "ask and you shall receive", but this would never deter me from eating here... it almost adds to the charm. There is an inside dining area and a small outdoor patio area. Inside, you can choose to sit at the bar or at their high tops. It's a small and narrow space, but not too stuffy. I've never seen this place super packed, but the traffic is constant and I see lots of people stopping in to pick up orders as well. Their margaritas aren't the best in the world, but they're pretty good. I can munch on their guacamole all day long! On my last visit, I ordered a steak taco, a chorizo taco and an al pastor taco. Each taco is no more than $3 - a steal! Each taco was tasty in it's own right. I'll definitely be back, I'm dying to try their tortas and their fajitas! read more

Late breakfast? Late night? Feeling peckish? Or perhaps you just need a place to chill with your friends without the bullshit that goes hand in hand with the social scene in Miami? I've found my hole in the wall. If it becomes yours too, all I ask is that you leave empty the 2-seater table on the patio directly beneath the AC unit - I'll fight you for it otherwise. Micheladas are $6, and tacos are $3. Extra chips is $2, and four salsas come standard. Portions are fairly large (I'm talking 'bout the burritos that feed me twice), and while you're not getting like, USDA Grade A+++ steak, they season it well. As a California girl, I would consider this place as authentic as I'm going to get in Miami for a great price. I love this place with an intense passion, and with plentiful street parking on surrounding neighborhood streets, there's no reason not to come here. Food is made fresh, and chips are made in house! The open concept kitchen is always bustling, and if you get a counter seat, it's pretty mesmerizing to see this team at work. They have a vegetarian section of the menu, and truly everything is affordable. And though I love the Grove location, this place has more ambience and SEATING! Both inside and out, and don't be afraid to ask folks to scoot down the counter - most locals are friendly here, though you get lots of tourists peeking their heads in. The only issues I have here only happen with one waitress: burritos come with chips, always. During a recent visit, she told me that the menu was printed wrong (the same sticky menu they've been using in the years I've been coming here) and it only came with that sad salad of shredded lettuce and salsa. This is just...untrue. But most times I come here, my burritos come as ordered with a side of chips. Do double check your bill before you pay - I had ordered another round of drinks that didn't hit the table, but was charged for them. read more

Great dive spot! We were allowed to park in the empty alley (it was Wed at 2pm) for free We were the only people there so service was good, $7 marg-$4 corona on tap It's small. 4 seats at the bar and two high tops that fit 4 people Al pastor tacos were decent. My ONLY complaint is that they were a little dry but maybe they were supposed to be Husband got fish tacos and they were You get one small bowl of chips and salsa (I'm assuming only if you get food-which why wouldn't you?) the salsa was definitely garlic/onion/cilantro of some sort. Good and creamy. Only needed the one bowl of chips. Overall it was a fun little lunch spot for out of towners to cool off and grab some good authentic food and drinks Oh. The margaritas were on point! read more

Friday night and we were hungry for Mexican tacos. Closest one to us is El Taquito on SW 8 Street. We placed our order and took the back street to avoid the night revelers on Calle Ocho. The order was ready when we arrived 15 minutes later. Took the order home and indulged in a fabulous meal of green chicken enchiladas, guacamole, a steak burrito and corn tortilla quesadillas. The hot sauces were perfect, one smokey and mild, the other HOT HOT. My fav were the green chicken enchiladas. The green sauce was tomatillo and made perfectly piquant and spicy. The enchiladas were stuffed with juicy chicken and smothered in white cheese. The refried beans were done the way I grew up eating, although the rice was just so so. I loved the guacamole with large chunks of tomato and onion. My partner also enjoyed his burrito and quesadillas, with lots left over for the next day. Yum! read more

Food was very tasty. Ambiance was great. The tacos are simple but authentic. We sat outside on the side by the bar. Very cool covered area. Claudia, the waitress, was attentive the whole time. When i was indecisive, she went out of her way to ensure i had every sauce on my burrito. It's silly but it's the details for me. Would definitely return. read more

We have walked passed this restaurant a few times and I am so glad we decided to stop in! I am Mexican and from Cali and it's been so difficult to find authentic Mexican food here.

Got there around 10:24pm 36 minutes before closing, as soon as we walked the cook gave us a nasty face telling us that we can only get our drink to go, not only were they rude but they also overcharged us for two micheladas and on top of that they charged us for a large and they didn't want to give us a receipt so we had to take a picture of it.

No thanks! Came in dying of hunger, left full and disappointed. Ordered a cheese/chorizo starter... It was cheese from a bag with shredded chorizo and old chips. The "quesadilla" you really cant call it that since it was tree little tacos with lots of tomatoes and nothing more. Oh and on top they were dripping... Yuck tortilla wet. The bf ordered a carnita and cheese ONLY burrito. What does he get? A burrito with beans and vegetables. The service was mediocre at best, the prices are ok and the music was horrible!
