Tiny spot compared to a picture I saw. Walked in, and was greeted right away. The spot was busy, but for pick up orders. People were picking up orders non stop. Only 3 tables and a small wall table. Service was exceptional. I got the birria quesadilla, their best seller. It was delicious! I was full after half, but still ate the whole thing. Great food and service all around read more

La Placita Taco Grill - Birria quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Miami, Florida

La Placita Taco Grill in South Miami is a really underrated spot for some delicious, honest, authentic Mexican food. They specialize in traditional Mexican dishes and their tacos are top tier. Their birria tacos are my favorite. Super fresh and dripping with flavor. The service is great, they treat you like family. Portions are pretty generous too. Only downside is the space is extremely small. If you eat there, you will smell like fried food for the rest of the day. It's a very casual spot that is sure to satisfy the taste buds. read more

Had the fish tacos. Great flavor, fresh fish and stuffed with so many different toppings. Wasn't a big fan that they were in flour tortillas. I should have asked for corn tortillas. Place is small and limited seating inside - also inside is not so ventilated so the frying oil smell is strong. Also taking away points for not using compostable serving containers and cutlery. At this price point, they can afford them for sure. Service was nice - they came out and served us on our tables. All in all - a good place to repeat. read more

Such a pleasant hidden gem in South Miami! It is located on the outskirts of Sunset Place, and has its own private parking lot. Although parking is small, it was not an issue to find a spot, and there is plenty of street parking around. Upon entering the establishment, we were immediately greeted! The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. We were told the birria is the best on the menu so we got that, and an order of the 3 amigos taco order (1 al pastor, 1 steak, 1 chicken taco). In my opinion, the birria and al pastor were the best! The Al pastor was so flavorful and very loaded! What I definitely appreciated is that they put two tortilla per taco...so they didn't disassemble right away. The order is 3 tacos, and also comes with rice. Overall, a great experience and decent pricing m. Should be noted that the place itself is TINY. There was only two tables indoor and one outside. Will for sure be coming back here! read more

From the service to the food, everything was incredible. We ordered chicken nachos and birria quesadilla. The nachos were loaded with melted, real cheese, beans, guacamole, and pico. We ate it to the last chip. The birria was some of the best I've had, the quesadilla was full of birria meat, they are not stingy at all. The host and the chef were both very nice, the place feels like you're eating in Mexico somewhere. read more

The food is delicious--big portions, high quality, and so tasty. The only thing I'd improve is the seating; it could be a bit more comfortable. But for a grab-and-go spot or a quick, high-quality meal, it's absolutely worth it. read more

Real sleeper. Absolutely loved the tacos. Wish they were a bit larger for the cost but flavor was out of this world

Looking for a quick lunch place offering Mexican food. Happened into La Placita in South Miami. I ordered their chicken taco salad which came with guac and salsa. The dressing which was cilantro based was delicious. The only thing missing was a nice cold beer because they do not have a liquor license, but just next door is a Tom Thumb if you just must have one to accompany the meal. So, if you are in for a good, quick Mexican meal at a great value without the frills of a sit down restaurant and their costs, this is your place. read more

This used to be the small location of a med take out spot. Now it has changed to this place. Never mind, I like tacos too. They were decent. I tried their trio. Worthy of a pit stop if you are in the area. read more

Really enjoyed this lovely little taco spot. People working were super friendly. I got 3 tacos al pastor-- I'm so incredibly picky with tacos, but they were good. I wish the meat was a bit more juicy. They gave me a ton of pineapple which I really really appreciated. The guacamole was fresh and delicious-- highly recommend. Jamaica was also bomb, but expensive for the size ($5 for a small cup). I looooooved the salsas. Overall I'd give this place a try again and maybe try some different meats next time. Overall I got 3 tacos with a decent amount of meat (comes with rice which was just ok), guac&chips, and Jamaica and it was $25. A little on the pricey side, but what's not these days. Since it's not like some big chain I'm definitely ok with spending more. read more

Stopped by this small Taco spot in South Miami and was happy to find they had parking available which is rare in the South Miami area. The place itself is very small, and unfortunately, the seating isn't very comfortable. It was also pretty warm inside, which made it tough to enjoy the food on the spot. I ordered a few tacos, which were actually quite good. The ingredients were fresh and solid. I started eating there but ended up packing them up to finish at home, where it was much more comfortable. The woman taking orders was very friendly and helpful. Overall, a good option for takeout if you're craving tacos--just not ideal if you're looking to dine in and linger. read more

La Placita is excellent. It's become mine and my bf's go-to place when we're craving something better than fast food but also not that fancy. It's connected to a row of 3-4 restaurants with covered outdoor seating but we've never had an issue with weather. The food is consistently good - hefty portions and comes out relatively quickly. The meat is always so juicy and tender. We usually get the birria tacos, Tulum bowl, and guac and chips. And sometimes one of the cocktails in a can too. Highly recommend! read more

A great spot for authentic Mexican food. The restaurant has a casual and festive atmosphere, with colorful decorations and lively music.

Ambiance: The ambiance was festive and fun. The restaurant was decorated with colorful lights and Mexican flags. There was also live music playing, which added to the atmosphere.

I went with my husband to the North Miami area and noticed the new sign outside, so we decided to give it a try. We were intrigued by the menu and excited to see what this new spot had to offer. I went with the Tulum Mushroom Bowl, and my husband had the burrito. We also shared some tacos to get a better feel for the variety. The chips and guacamole were out of this world--definitely a highlight of the meal! The flavors were bold and fresh, and the portions were generous. You could really tell the ingredients were of great quality. We left feeling completely satisfied and impressed by how much care went into everything. This place is definitely a hidden gem, and we're so glad we found it. I highly recommend checking it out--just make sure to save a seat for us next time! 5 stars! read more

They moved to a smaill space in sunset place as the land where they whwere located forst was sold and now demolished. The space is tiny, but the tacos are big in flavor. Love that they are teuly mexican style. read more

Good, relatively quick taco grill! This is a tiny taco grill on Bird Road, in a row of a handful of open-air restaurants. If it's rainy, they have a vinyl "curtain" that they roll down to keep you dry. The service is pretty good. The guac is tasty, but a little small. The tacos in general are good, but the baja fish taco is fantastic! read more

The birria tacos are amazing. Highly recommend ordering them. They come loaded with slow cooked beef, birria dipping sauce, red and green sauce and rice. My usual go to are the quesadillas. Those are loaded with the filling of your choice. I really like chicken or al pastor. They also come with sour cream and two sauces. I highly recommend both. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

La Placita Taco Grill - Trio Taco - birria tacos, so good. - Tacos Near Me - Miami, Florida

My favorite quick-stop taco spot in Miami! Outdoor seating right in front, bathrooms are available. 1. The chicken quesadilla = 5 stars!! Loved the taste of the chicken, and the mixed cheeses! Perfect, and evenly melted! Fresh! Comes with a small portion of sour cream (crema), salsa verde, salsa roja. *I always order an extra side of guacamole (the quesadilla does not come with one...) and I love the way the quesadilla is further enhanced in flavor with their guacamole! 2. Ribeye tacos = 5 stars!! My partners favorite taco! I rarely eat red meat, I tried a small bite and it was extremely fresh!! It comes with their guacamole on top and cilantro! Wow.... It truly is very good. 3. We have tried the 'trio tacos' = 4 stars, because not all the tacos were 'out of this world' tasty, compared to the ribeye taco. But if someone enjoys having a mixed selection of tacos, they should definitely give it a try. 4. Side of chips and guacamole = 5 stars! Crispy chips and the guacamole is very fresh! They also have awesome drink/soda options (the pineapple jarritos is my favorite)! I have already been back twice after my first experience on June 15th! I recommend everyone stoping by and checking out this Mexican-inspired food establishment. I will be returning for my amazing quesadilla! But I am also making plans to try their brunch, which features their chilaquiles!! Will be reporting back once I do. Take great care and talk soon fellow Yelpers! **AJ read more

I've been on the hunt to find the best birria in Miami since graduating from college because my college town has some hard to beat birria. My group and I ordered the birria quesadillas and the birria tacos. To my surprise the birria quesadilla tasted better than the tacos. The tacos were good just a little too greasy. We also ordered some chips with guac and pico de gallo. I didn't think the chip to guac/ pico ratio made much sense as the guac container only had enough for like 5 chips to be dipped. The pico de gallo also tasted very strange, I'm not sure if the tomatoes were bad or not but it had a peculiar taste. Overall I'd recommend their birria quesadilla if you're searching for anything birria. read more

Great local place as usual!, food is awesome, great flavor. Service is A+ always received with a smile!

The food was okay, but difficult to eat with the overwhelming smell of horse excrement outside. The service was fine, for counter service, but the prices on our receipt differed from those on their video menu. I found it a bit pricey with most simple items around $25. My wife and I spent $39. That does not include a tip, which I typically do not leave with counter service anyway. We left half our food uneaten. Overall, this restaurant left me with no reason to return. read more

It's like winning the lottery when you can just search for a random taco spot and it turns out being authentic, delicious, outdoor, high quality ingredients, and authentic flavor (this part is the key). This place has them all, and the owner Daniel, is one of the most charming owners I've encountered in a long time. We ordered the ribeye, the arrachera, and carnita tacos. They came out with red and green salsa and plenty of lime. Ribeye: the best of the best. Wow what a blast of flavor and the quality of the meat is the first thing you notice. Gourmet-ish but still authentic. They even put little pieces of potato in this one. So good and my fav. Carnitas: not greasy yet super juicy and flavorful (the owner came by and told us he does this by design). They were really top-notch. Lastly the arrachera: it was tender and reminds you of eating at a carne asada. This is what resembles the most classic carne asada steak taco but it was again above the average in the quality department. Overall I'm so glad I stopped by this place. I was so hungry I didn't even take a pic! I will be back!! read more

I am new to this area of Miami. I am always on the lookout for new great food spots. I saw this place and knew I had to check out their tacos and the rest of their menu Wow was I pleasantly surprised! I ordered the Alambre Arracheria tacos. Which is grilled angus steak with bacon, grilled onions, bell peppers and melted cheese. I add pickled onions to them since I love them. The steak was super tender and juicy! They were served super hot off the grill with 3 juicy limes and red and green homemade hot sauces. The flavor of these were amazing! They were nicely filled with steak and were not skimpy at all! I loved them and can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious foods. Especially the Birria tacos and quesadilla. Even the owner came out to make sure I liked them. read more

I tried this place two times before I made a review, I decided to try different types of tacos each time. The location is tiny and shared with three other restaurants. Limited seating, but the staff was friendly and attentive. The tacos are bland and have very little flavor, both times I was underwhelmed. There are far superior taco places in Miami in my opinion, I won't return. read more

Ordered takeout from here yesterday and was completely satisfied with my meal. I ordered the chicken tacos and my boyfriend got the chicken quesadillas. Both entrées were plentiful and priced fairly (~$10 each). The chicken quesadillas were thick and filled with gooey cheese and lots of grilled chicken. The chicken tacos came with my favorite corn tortillas and topped with a plethora of delicious vegetables (3 per order). The food came presented nicely and with pico on the side. We ordered guac and chips to go with our meal, which was also delicious (~$5). Delivery was also surprisingly fast! Can't wait to order again :) I read more

Since my first visit, La Placita has become my go-to Mexican food spot. While I do like the casual, al fresco atmosphere, since baby came along, we find ourselves relying on delivery which they provide via Postmates. When #YelpsBigNightIn rolled around, we knew some tacos were in order! I love a good quesadilla, burrito, and the like, but their tacos are among the best I've had. Whether meat or veggie filled, they're always stuffed with super fresh ingredients. They come with three different salsas which vary in spice level and flavor, so you're bound to find the right compliment for your order. Pair that with some guac, and you have the perfect meal. There's nothing like a nice Jarrito or Sidral Mundet to wash it all down. More than enough food for two comes out to around $40 including delivery/tip. I'm so happy they're still open for my self quarantine cravings and I know it won't be too long until I have to order again! read more

The best tacos in Miami! Out door seating only. And very good guac. I have never had a bad experience here at La placita! Service is amazing and they love to make their customers happy. 10/10 would recommend read more

Holy Yum! La Placita Taco Grill has been on my hit list for a while and I am so happy I popped in for lunch. Located on Bird Road it's part of a food stand where there are a few other tasty spots. I was craving tacos, but when I spotted their burrito menu my heart skipped a beat. I love Al Pastor, so I got that in burrito form and it was SUCH a great choice for my life. The burrito is massive - I couldn't finish the whole thing. Super flavorful and packed with beans, rice, and of course - meat. I got a side of guac with my burrito and it was great. The burrito comes with salsas which you can tell are made in house. Super spicy and fresh. Loved my visit here and will definitely be back to try more things! read more
