My review is similar to others. The tacos are good but the prices are not. $25 for three tacos (tax and tip) that should be around $12. I think you'll have more customers and better reviews if you bring your prices down. read more

Food was very good but like most places in South Beach area just overpriced. Birria and the barbacoa tacos were seasoned well, portion size was small. read more

Matilda's Taco Bar - chicken quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

If you are looking for great tasting, affordable, and kids friendly food, DO NOT GO HERE!! We have had better tasting tacos at the hood taqueria for less $$$. This is a tourist trap and you will be paying mostly for eating near South Beach. The best thing was the host. He was really nice and did his best. The waitress was like something out of a porn movie. Maybe she thought if she spoke in a fake sexy voice and shook her body, she would get a tip in addition to the 20% gratuity that is added to the bill. She got on our nerves more than anything. When the $115 bill came, she explained that a kid's chicken quesadilla was $15 and that there was no kid menu for chicken tacos. My grand daughter tasted the food and threw up at the table. Our fish tacos had no flavor and my grandson, just made faces and said it was disgusting. The salsa was mostly water (more sauce than salsa). So, if you're in Miami, just ask the locals to direct you to the nearest hood taqueria stand and save yourself $80 plus the parking fee. Never again!! NASTY WE Immediately asked for to go containers. My husband ate most of his food because he had a headache, but did not enjoy the season less fish tacos either. read more

We were all excited to get tacos & margaritas. We sat down outside. It was a nice night. The waiter came over and told us they don't have margaritas or even sangria. He could make us a tequila drink. It was disappointing so we left. Who wants to eat without a nice drink.We will try again next time we are here. read more

They have a great location but the service is terrible at best. They serve small portions at high prices for just OK Mexican food. I won't be back. read more

The shrimp tacos are so good and also so affordable. Located in such a fun spot in south beach and has a cute decor for outside seating. read more

Our food was excellent mix of flavors. I recommend and will come again. The margarita was authentic.

I was really surprised by the misbehavior of the waiter and how rude he was. He also charged on a Tuesday for three tacos on the regular price. The tacos weren't that season and cooked right. I'm sorry but this guys need customer service read more

I'm pregnant and had a craving so I ordered dessert from an 'authentic' Mexican restaurant. The tres leches and flan were literally in a plastic container that says 'manufactured in' and 'like homemade taste' - almost like the kind from a convenience store. The churros were oily and fried very hard... and were def not homemade or even close to the pictures on yelp's menu. There were a few careless drops of hard caramel sauce that managed to make it into a plastic container, but it was unscoopable. I think it would be different if the restaurant actually made this and I didn't like the taste, but I feel like there was zero effort put into this dessert. Please update the description to say that none of this is homemade. read more

*Tourist trap*. Service is good, but this is not an authentic Mexican restaurant. The chips were stale, the margaritas light, and the queso had pieces of chorizo as opposed to the traditional ground chorizo. You are paying top notch $$$'s for fast food quality... and automatically get charged 20% tip. Do yourself a favor and go to the Italian place next door. Ive been living in Miami 10+ yrs and this is still one of my favorite restaurants in town, despite it being q touristy area. read more

Very welcoming little Mexican restaurant! We had a couple margaritas that were well mixed, a variety of tacos, and cheese dip and chips . Quality of food was good. The only complaint would be it was hard to get our servers attention and pay. Outdoor dinning was nice and got to people watch while we waited . Check it out if your in the area and not in a huge rush . read more

Very overpriced but edible. The margaritas were very light so I was disappointed. The ONLY reason this place gets 4 stars is because the bathroom was so strange and it stuck out to me during my entire vacation in Miami. The restroom was in the freezer in the back of the restaurant!!!! I cannot make this up, please see the video for yourself ! read more

Ok where do I start... overpriced. Low quality. Not a good way to leave a first good impression. Ordered tacos to go and this was probably the worst take out ever... read more

Matilda's Taco Bar - Steak tacos $18 for 2 - Mexican Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I was a typical tourist to Miami on a stroll around South Beach, and I came across this taco joint at just the right time on a lovely April evening, so I took a seat and had three super tasty tacos to feel like I had a proper Miami Beach experience. The seating is outside-only, but you can see through their windows that they have fun decor going on. I wanted to explore their taco menu with a sampler, but they told me they would only serve three of the same kind of taco. I requested no onions on my Carnitas tacos and they neglected that request. There were a few salsa options and my server apparently took one look at me and knew she needed to effusively assure me that the mild salsa is NOT TOO SPICY. I did indeed get the tame-enough-for-white-Minnesotan mild salsa and it wasn't spicy and it was actually delicious. That food was a little pricey, though probably on par for the area, but it did taste great so if you want some yummy tacos at a sidewalk patio around here, you will not regret trying this place. read more

Decent lunch on South Beach - they are quick to seat you but take a long while to get your order. But the food comes very quickly and is pretty good. We got some fish tacos and guac/chips. They were overall pretty good (not the most amazing tacos we've had but not bad). read more

The food was tasty and the service was terrific. Everyone was friendly and I love the decor inside and out. We ordered the Birria tacos, Mahi tacos, Pina colada, mojito and churros. The churros were freshly made and the fish was excitingly fresh and without batter. The consume tasted slightly like a mole sauce but hubby loved it. I wish there was a touch more rum in the colada but overall everything was amazing and I would go back read more

Extremely expensive for what it offers. $5 for an okay taco; $16 for a frozen ready-to-serve margarita. Counter service, but 20% gratuity included (in tiny print) with the option to add more (in big print). Fine dining pricing for counter service. 6 tacos + guac + two beers = $68 (!!!) read more

Good music. We ordered micheladas and tacos both were really good. Our waitress Belkis was super friendly and everything came out in a timely manner read more

Great drinks and food. The staff was great, they gave good recommendations and were very friendly

Tasty tacos and a good michelado! Friendly service and great ambience right on Collins Ave. We enjoyed the happy hour outside, people watching- great location! read more

Soggy, overpriced tacos that have very little in them. Service was also terrible. When the waitress realized I wasn't getting alcohol, she gave me attitude even though the place was empty. I had to go up to the counter to pay. For a place that has no indoor seating, this place is way overrated. read more

We waited about 10 minutes after we sat to get a menu. We received our menu from casa Matilda's hostess, then we waited another 15 minutes for the waitress to come to us. We wanted to order single tacos, she informed us we had to order a minimum off 3 although the menu represents pricing for individual or 3. Nachos were soggy, tacos were subpar. They add the tip but then don't show you the bill. Waitress was not even remotely friendly! read more

Super-expensive tourist trap, sitting next to one of the busiest and filthiest avenues on the beach, you'll sit next to the road and eat your food while getting blasted by exhaust fumes. 16$ margaritas with barely any tequila in them. Expensive tacos that are nothing special, fish had a non-fresh taste, carnitas flavors didn't mesh well together. Guacamole was not worth 10$ and portion was tiny. To top it all off, 20% forced tip -semi hidden- on the bill plus a 18% suggested "additional tip" that's going to mislead a lot of folks into thinking it's the main tip. Waiter was either stoned or utterly bored with existence, looked like he should still be at school with his head down a fucking toilet. Never coming back. It'll be a miracle if this place lasts another year. read more

In a city of expensive food and big plates, Matilda's is an oasis. A la carte ordering means you can tailor your tastes to your budget, but there's something for everyone, and I can't wait to come back to try some of the other offerings - EVERYthing is appealing, and this place is worth the repeat visits. 10/10 recommend read more

Matilda's Taco Bar - No bull, great food! - Mexican Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Belkis provided amazing service and the Birria was great. It was fresh and well seasoned.

Everything was a little bland and just ok. Definitely not one of the places you rave about and wish you had one back home. It wasn't awful but I wouldn't recommend it over some of the other options around. read more

I have been living here for four years and I have received the worst service today in this place, the waitress Miriam treated us badly the entire time, hot water, late food, bad faces and bad answers, at the time of paying the bill she didn't want to separating it for more comfort, a disaster, apart from that, the food is delicious and the cooks are cool, I regret that a person like that works in a place like that read more

Never expected to find such a good Mexican food on Miami Beach. I loved almost everything about this taco bar: location, food quality, prices, service. We ordered barbacoa burrito, shrimp tacos and carnitas quesadilla and everything tasted just yummy. Michelada also was super good. Service wasn't very fast, but was very friendly. We weren't in a rush, so we were ok to wait extra 10 minutes. The other thing that I didn't like is that they include gratuity into the bill, all Miami Beach restaurants doing this tho Recommend read more

Would be...a great spot. Was gonna order tacos as it is a taco bar but there's no way to try more than one type per order. Owners apparently changed their menu so an order of 3 tacos (no a la carte option) must be the same. Server and General manager on site were understanding as we shared feedback but couldn't accommodate. Don't go here if you want to try more than 1 type of taco for $18 read more

This place is NOT authentic at all. It's a tourist trap. The chips were stale and the food was not tasteful, perhaps if I was drunk the food would taste better. It's very expensive and I DO NOT Recommend this place. Don't get fooled by the professional food pictures. read more

Website needs to be updated. States Happy Hour every day from 4-7 but upon arrival was told there is no happy hour. Menu prices have been increased - not what is listed on the website. Can't review the food as we didn't stay to eat. read more

Cool and chill taco place with nice outside picnic tables. I came across it on Taco Tuesday. Tasty authentic tacos and drinks. The battered shrimp tacos were a great lunch, along with chips and guacamole and a margarita. Very cute place and recommend If in the area. read more

Matilda's Taco Bar - Mexican Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Some of if not the best tacos I have had they had amazing burritos and quesadillas too and one of the best margaritas around.

The food is even a stretch to be mediocre. Bland and over priced tacos. You cant split your taco orders and have to get three of the same tacos which should have clued me in that the kitchen was not up to the task of producing quality food. I expected more than canned pineapple as a garnish. $68 for 6 tacos , two beers and the hidden 20% tip. I don't mine tipping, but it's my choice not theirs. Especially for perfunctory service. If it's wasn't for unwary tourist, this place would not last ten minutes on local business. Total rip off. read more

Nice location and good service. Portions are small and food has no flavor except the red sauce. No warning for how hot and spicy this red sauce was. read more

WARNING: They add a 20% tip to all bills and do not give you a receipt! We gave a 42% tip for shitty service and flavorless tacos and didn't even know it! read more

Very over-priced for the quality. Our server was lovely but the food was pre-fab. The texture of the guacamole suggested it was pre-made. The meat was spongy and didn't feel grilled. I was charged $16 for a virgin mojito. Luckily our server cut that to $8 after we complained. read more

I've the the pleasure of dining here with a family member and we loved the ambiance and the menu from other reviewers here at yelp. HOWEVER, it became clear the menu was not what it once was. We were REQUIRED to order 3 tacos minimum for $18, which we got 2 of and we got an app for 12$. The bill was $62 BUT the payment DID NOT tell you it added 22% gratuity soon mistakenly added 7% on top of that. Learn from me and read your bill on South Beach. I'm from NYC and I am outraged by the money grab here. I'd like to support restaurants during and after the pandemic but I don't like being taken for a money grab. Food was good but not out of this world! read more

I have lot to say about this place , first of all it's a tourist trap . I went there hungry and I ordered 3 tacos in a basket for me and one basket for my kid . The tacos arrived in 2 inch mini tacos shell with almost no meat inside , there's tiny chicken pieces . I also ordered 2 Jarritos 4$ each . I wish I took a picture of that order as it was a shame and lie about what they say in their website , we left hungry from there after spending 40$ in 6 tiny tacos and 2 Jarritos . The staff added a service charge of 6$ and he didn't ley me customize the tip ,he put it straight on the bill without my permission that end up 40$ for 6 tiny tacos and 2 soft drink and left hungry . Don't believe what they say in their website and beware of scam and tourist trap in this restaurant , Big scam ,cheap and the food is not great for the money you pay. Never again and I will post this restaurant in all review sites for Miami south beach spots . I'm very honest about this review and you're the judge if you ever go there . read more
