    Genuinely loved this place and will definitely be back! We ordered the corn with brisket, cornbread, Dino brisket, and the chicken--which was easily a 10/10!!!!! Everything was delicious, and it was the perfect amount of food for my boyfriend and me. What really surprised us was how incredible the service was. Talia took care of us and absolutely sold us! We originally went in just looking for a small bite and somehow left full enough for lunch and dinner I love when a server is genuinely passionate about the food, and every single thing she recommended was delicious. We also brought our dog and sat outside, and the entire team was so attentive. They made sure we had a fan, kept our pup hydrated, and even recommended a few bites she could enjoy too. Great food, amazing service, and super dog-friendly. We'll definitely be returning! Oh... and the music they were playing, the vibes were great. Highly recommend.

    Its baaaaaack! Now serving in South Miami, La Traila makes its return slinging texas-forward barbecue that will have you craving it. Big portions, bold and juicy flavors, great folks working the spot, a must visit in the Sunset area, right next to Akashi. I love the Loaded Barbecue Quesadillas here as they do the job well, perfectly stuffed and flavored. Matcha Mule and El Pepe cocktails were great, loved Pepe and will definitely get again. Desserts rotate a bit so snagged this Guava cheesecake this go-round and it was a great closer. This is a great neighborhood spot to come with the fam, coworkers, and crew. Come get it!

    It took a while to try it. I had to make it take out for my first visit. It didn't seem like they are setup for take out. It's suppose to be the bar tender to take the orders. She was so busy. One of the managers saw my frustration waiting to get my order taken. He had the hostess take it. Then had me sitting next to the hostess stand. Which made me in the way. All the tables were full. And it was lunch time on Saturday. That's abnormal. The bbq is slow cooked/smoked perfectly. Great spices. Just too much pepper for my taste. The brisket was soooooooft. Meat fell of the bone on the spare ribs. Don't miss the Mac n cheese. While the corn bread is moist. For Meat quality. This is the Top bbq place I've tried in miami.

    Miami just leveled up its BBQ scene and La Traila is leading the charge. It has only been open for a month, but it's already making serious noise in South Miami. Sitting right in the heart of the neighborhood directly across from Akashi. The brisket elote is a must, has a generous portion of smoky, savory brisket. Although everything we ordered was a hit. The pork belly brisket was deeply flavorful and paired great with their house made bbq sauce which was mustard based , along with the spare ribs as well. Onto the sides, the queso blanco mac & cheese was comfort food done properly, and the cream of corn was rich and satisfying. The one heartbreak of the visit was being out of sweet potatoe cornbread by 3 PM on a Sunday. That's not a knock on the kitchen .. if anything, it speaks to how fast things are moving at this place. It just means a return visit is already mandatory.

    I checked this spot out after seeing it on social media, and I'll admit--I was a little skeptical. Having tried some of the best BBQ in Texas but this place surprised me in the best way. What really stands out is their unique concept: a Texas-Mexican BBQ fusion that actually works. The flavors are bold and well-balanced. The ribs, cornbread, and mac & cheese were easily the highlights for me--each one done really well. I also loved the addition of pickled onions with every order; it's a small touch that adds a lot. The brisket had great flavor on its own, but it really came alive with the house made bbq sauce. I didn't try any cocktails this time, but their menu features a variety of Mexican-inspired drinks that gives me another reason to comeback for. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the space offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating--great for anything from a casual outing to a date night. The decor feels intentional and well thought out, adding to the overall experience. This spot is still relatively new, but I can easily see it becoming a go-to BBQ destination in South Miami. Needless to say, they've gained a new fan. Wishing them lots of success! Can't wait to come back.

    Really good food here. Better than many places I've visited in Texas. The service here is the issue . They made a lot of mistakes with charges and completely forgot to tell me my food was ready. Also almost slip and fell multiple times with wet spot that was never corrected. The ambiance is nice but this place is very packed because of the hype. Overall great food, but not so great service.

    The manager and staff is super friendly they kept coming to our table to check if everything was good. The food is delicious. Meat is very tender and flavorful. It's a pretty new spot but social media made it very popular. We had a wait time to be seated about 20 minutes. Once we were seated and placed our order, the food came out quickly because everything is pre-made. My only complaint was that when the food was delivered they didn't bring any of the Bbq sauces or tortillas. We had to ask for tortillas and i got up myself to find the bbq sauces.

    Ribs, brisket elote, rice/beans, sweet potato corn bread w honey butter and the best pickled onions!

    Excellent experience at this new barbecue spot in South Miami! From the moment we walked in, Dominique, our waitress, Jordan, the manager, and the rest of the staff made us feel truly welcomed. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the portions were generous. Loved the fun, relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again soon with friends!

    Pulling up to La trails in south miami i was already excited by the smell of smoke and bbq spices in the air. We sat outside although they have a huge indoor service. The drinks were great and to our surprise the old fashions were $4 all night and were a perfect pairing to all the delicious food. Especially their cream corn and bbq brisket empanadas. It's Texas BBQ with a Mexican flair and those flavors pair altogether too nice in my opinion. Great place for big family meals sharing style.

    Brisket empanadas

    La Traila is back and better than ever! After closing their Miami Lakes location a few years ago, they recently re-opened in the South Miami / Sunset area. When I went the place was packed, which is not surprising given it's a new opening with a lot of buzz. I tried the brisket empanadas, ribs, brisket and the Mac and cheese. The empanadas were simply amazing and highly recommended. I could not eat the ribs, brisket or Mac on the spot as I needed to take carry out for the wife, so I could not fairly judge each as I had to reheat the food later on and did not eat it fresh. The only downside is my gripe with Sunset as a location since you have to pay for parking pretty much in that whole area, very annoying. The staff was super friendly, I will be going back.

    Pollo really delicious
    Tricia A.

    Best Mac n cheese had a jalepeno Tex mex vibe and the Pollo was also really good! Really close to public parking and service was also really good. The brisket was also good and looks like the smoke all their meats on site.

    Brisket, ribs, coleslaw, cornbread, and mac & cheese
    Jennie R.

    Food was deliciousssss. Service was also great. The ribs fell off the bone, the mac and cheese honestly was life changing. The fusion of Mexican and traditional BBQ was a super unique idea. The Mac and cheese has queso and green chiles in it. Brisket was soft and tender we really enjoyed everything we had here.

Staff Makes us feel they are glad we came-What a cool place! We settle on the brisket, baby back ribs, potato salad and beans with brisket. Can I tell you EvErYtHiNg was spot on!! And we plan accordingly to try their famous 12 hour smoked Flan dessert!! 1. Smoked Brisket- moist, perfect flavor, hearty portion, tender and high quality meat. Comes with great sauce, which I didn't use since it was so perfect as is. 2. Smoked Baby Back Ribs- Another hit with healthy portion, great flavor, and super meaty. Honestly, just hard to stop eating it! 3. Baked Beans with Brisket- A true meal unto itself! I could've stopped here! Tons of brisket ground into the beans, almost like the best "chili" ever. Flavor is sophisticated smokiness, not the usual sugary sweet restaurant rendition. Yay! 4. Potato salad is FIRE! Fresh perfectly cooked tender white potatoes, cooked carrots & peas add just enough interest and a magical a touch of mayo. Yes please. 5. 12 hour smoked Flan-STAR * of the show, the flan of my dreams! Staff insisted this flan is all that and they are correct! It's LEGIT. We left with a doggie bag, so worth it. Price was for real, you pay for quality. $74, but we brought plenty home. You could get by with a meal for two around $50-60, if you need.

One thing about me is I love to have BBQ fresh off the smoker, but I do like that this truck is well equipped to keep everything warm, soft, and juicy. We tried the ribs and they were BUSSIN. Soft and amazing. In my life, I've never had ribs that soft before. They were seriously incredible. The pork sausage, though, was a HIT for me. I'm a girl who loves sausage, any kind, and the way this was so juicy just hit a spot for me. Matter of fact, I'll stop cooking sausages at home and simply come buy them by the pound here. The pulled pork was good. It's my fault for putting Sweet Heat BBQ on it without trying it first because LORD JESUS. I don't know what I was thinking. I underestimated the heat, and usually I love it hot, but LORD. I think my bread absorbed all of it. So, tread lightly with the hot sauces. For me, next time I think playing with a regular BBQ sauce and adding little dashes of the heated sauces myself would be the move. BUT IF YOU LIKE CRAZY HEAT, THEY GOT IT. The mac was good. The beans were FIRE. Perfectly sweet, and they actually have protein in them, which I can't say for all BBQ bean spots. Overall, it's worth the money. The service is respectful, and honestly, I will be coming back. I'll be ordering less food next time because LORD, I bought too much, but I'll definitely be back for a fresh brisket straight off the smoker. I can't lie. All in all, they're great. I like BBQ that tastes like hard work. Frankly, I want some love put into my BBQ, not just something that was simply cooked, and here they definitely have that. Only a true master can get sausage the way they do it here. 10/10. All juicy, all good. I'll be back. I can't recommend enough that you need to pivot your Thursdays through Sundays and try this place, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S FRESH OFF THE SMOKER. Real BBQ isn't about the presentation. My car, my hair, and my clothes all smelled like I rolled around in a smoker, which is exactly what I want from my BBQ. P.S. My dogs were going crazy for my fingers and trying to jump on the counters to get a bite, so you know it's good because they're well trained.

There are many photos on the wall of people in uniform, including a few movie posters, such as Tom Cruise in Top Gun, as well as badges of various military, police and firefighter branches. The first good sign for food quality is when we placed our order and was asked, if we want the brisket moist or lean. Different people like their brisket differently, no wrong answer there just preference, and I'm glad we are given a choice. The brisket is moist, as we like. the cornbread though was too dry, and the collard greens too salty. They offer six different sauces, and my fave is the Florida one with mango. While we were dining, a staff came by, and gave us two cards to welcome our first visit, with very generous offer to entice us to return. Wow, thank you!

The green bean salad comes in one size as an add-on. Okay first, the owner is clearly magic, because there isn't a grill in sight. I had no intention of ordering wings, but these are seriously the best wings I've had anywhere, in a long time (100/10). The rice and beans (10/10), and the rice smelled like it came from abuelita's kitchen. The slaw, oh my goodness (100/10), so simple, and yet perfect! I thought the chips were unnecessary . . . NOT! These are delicious (10/10) and 100% belonged on my plate. The mac . . . well, you can't win 'em all. The brisket was good (9/10) and the sauce is mustard-based, just like I like it, but the star is what got me there, the green bean salad!
