Food wasn't good... order came out wrong. It was not made with love. And for the price and forced tip it is Not worth it. Since you are forced to tip the server did not care. No napkins, wrong order, table wasn't wiped off. Bad experience. read more

Service was impeccable & food was absolutely delicious. I sat outside & really enjoyed myself. read more

Taco Island - Birria Tacos Birria - Mexican Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

See all

This place is very charming, and I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere. The food was delicious, and during our stay in Sunny Isles, we tried the shrimp, chicken, and birria tacos. The shrimp tacos were my favorite--they were flavorful and came with rice and beans, making them a great value. The birria tacos were also tasty, although they did not come with any sides. We also enjoyed the fajitas and the Mexican salad, both of which were very good. The staff was friendly and welcoming, though service could be a bit slow at times. One thing to note is that they do not offer complimentary water, but bottled water is available for purchase. My biggest complaint was the automatic gratuity. While many restaurants in the area add a percentage-based service charge, this restaurant appeared to charge a flat amount. For our party of six, the gratuity was around $35 on both visits, even though one of the bills was noticeably lower. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great, but there are a few downsides to be aware of. I would still recommend giving it a try, especially if you're in the area and craving good Mexican food. read more

The worst place you want to eat. I ordered a fish tacos plate to go! I asked for what type of fish! The waiter says ' yellow tail'!!! Let me tell this was not yellow tail! It was small pieces of tilapia! 3 tacos that you can hardly find the pieces. Not worth the amount they charge you $17.99 plus they added the tips. read more

Food was just eh. We got the guacamole and salsa... those were tasty. But the tacos were a different story, i had gotten the birria tacos after seeing decent reviews but i fear that they were wrong, there was an odd taste overall. My mom ordered the steak tacos and said that it tasted like the meat was reheated. We both got the horchata and would not recommend. Disappointing especially for the price. Service was okay. read more

Food was Ok, but 20% gratuity was included in the bill when the menu says 18%. I mentioned it to the staff, hopefully they correct. Not right. read more

Hand made margaritas, fresh delicious food, attentive service. Loved it enough to go back three times during a week-long trip to Hollywood Beach (worth the drive despite the traffic)! read more

On a recent trip to Miami for The Eras Tour, we stumbled upon this restaurant in a nearby strip mall close to our hotel. We were greeted immediately by the friendly owner, Jorge. Seeing us in our Swiftie gear, Jorge turned the tv screen to YouTube and played Taylor for us while we were dining. This was the day before our concert. Not only was the service wonderful, but the food was so good as well. I had the shrimp soft tacos and they were delicious. Others in my party ordered the chimichangas, elote corn, cheese enchiladas, and birria tacos. Everyone enjoyed their food. Jorge made this dining experience memorable for us with his kindness and positivity. We will definitely visit next time we are in town. Thank you!!! read more

Taco Island - Shrimp tacos - Mexican Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

I came by for a late lunch while in the area. It's in a strip mall right on Collins and close to the beach. The menu is standard tex mex classics (tacos, burritos and the like). Looking through their menu, I was thinking about ordering their chile relleno (stuffed pepper) with chicken. Unfortunately, it was not available. I then ordered their chicken burrito and chicken tortilla soup. They did customize out the guacamole from both the soup and burrito. The soup was pretty hearty and tasty, with a generous portion of chicken. My steak burrito was tasty as well, with a nice helping of veggies, salsa and a fluffy tortilla. No I didn't have a typo. I ordered a chicken burrito and was served a steak one. Not that big a deal, only a $2 difference. But between that, the automatic 20% gratuity and an added 3.5% cost for using a credit card (when hardly anyone carries cash) feels a little "nickel and dimey" and why I can only leave three stars. read more

Worst Chicken Tacos of my life! They tasted like nothing. The rice tasted like crap and so did the fried beans. The Tortillas were the worst on earth. Just horrible!!! They taste like paper! Never again would I eat there!!! Not if you pay me! read more

The service was amazing. They were very attentive and nice. The queso fundido was a hit, birria tacos and quesabirria were as well. The mojito was made with fresh ingredients, and that makes it stand out. Great experience! read more

Ok I want to start off by saying these drinks were watered to the bone. My son ordered horchata it tasted nothing like an authentic one and tasted like milk,water,sugar, and peanut butter. Our food came 15 minutes after the drinks I got chili rellono first of all I'm not a Mexican food expert but I know the sauce is supposed to be at the bottom not on top to mask the horrible taste. It was not spicy at all no peppers were use probably and tasted like it came out of a frozen bag. My son got a steak burrito the burrito was ok but it costed 18 dollars for it which was absolutely insane for a burrito and a little bit of side pico and lettuce for the burrito. He told me it tasted bland and no flavor was present and I tried it as well and I have the same thoughts. Nothing was showed to make it worth that much money. After that was the check. Usually me I don't mind paying a lot of money for food but it had to be good at least. However this was not the case the horchata in a small glass watered down plus with ice cost 8 dollar absolutely crazy I can make my own for 4 dollars max both of our food came up the 40 dollars which is insane for the portion size we got as well. And now finally the part were it was really triggering 20 % gratitude the service was not that bad but still not worth 20 percent of the meal and if you pay credit card you have to pay 3.5 percent more which is not right. Please do not go to this place it is a scam for your money I bet you if you go to north Miami there will be better and cheaper food there instead of here if you crave Mexican food try different areas other in this one try this one if you want to be disappointed and hungry after!!!! read more

I'm not sure what special this was but I'm not sure how anyone could charge $30 for the world's smallest quesabirria. It was even that good. When I saw the recipe I was in shock. How is that a special? The restaurant looks cool and all but lower the prices, the food isn't that good. read more

Service was great. The queso and chips were delicious. The rest of the food wasn't what we were expecting. The food was more bland than what we are used to with Mexican food. If we are in the area again, we would probably not return to this place. read more

Been living in Sunny Isles for a few months now and never gave them a chance until recently. Now I regret waiting so long. Don't let their position in a outdated shopping plaza fool you, the food was GOOD. The server was very kind. I got the chips and queso and it was that delicious white queso dip with the thin crispy chips. That worked up our appetite to the main course, the enchiladas had pulled chicken and I ate every bite. Super delicioso!! My only recommendation would be to dim the lights to the atmosphere matches the buzz of the shaken margaritas. read more

Jorge was excellent had a fantastic meal. The food was delicious and drinks are yummy.

Not good. Service was slow. Food average. Margaritas were extremely watery. Waitress asked us if we wanted water - we said sure. Before we knew it - she brought two Poland springs and charged us $2.75 each. Plus - chips and salsa - $5.99. Name a Mexican restaurant that doesn't give those away for free?! Avoid this place. read more

george was so kind and thoughtful with my kids picky eating habits ! we are from New Jersey and we will definitely visit this phenomenal Mexican restaurant again as long as George is here! Ambience was awesome & the service was 10/10 read more

Went here for a quick lunch about two weeks ago and the food was really good. I went and the place was empty but it was early in the day which is good because that means the food comes out faster lol. I ordered a cheese quesadilla with chicken and it was really good but it was a lot of cheese. I also had a piña colada, the piña colada was good but I tasted better piña colada's. I gave it four stars because the card machine wasn't working I believe they were updating it in the middle of service so I had to wait an additional 45 minutes for them to even take my payment but overall the food was good and I would definitely be going back read more

The service was good. However, having experienced real mexican food, I was extremely disappointed by the flavors. The tortilla chips were stale. The guacamole was nothing else but smashed avocados, no lemon, no serranos, no flavor. I ordered the chicken enchiladas. They were salty, no seasoning. Not spicy at all. The meat was not seasoned with a good flavor, it tasted like cumin and salt. Not sure how they cook it. I did not want to touch the rice. The jamaica was ok. My friend ordered orchata, but after a sip, just left it there. This is not mexican food. read more

The food is a solid B but the portions are VERY small, making the whole experience definitely not worth the price. Service wasn't bad but I was one of two tables in the place. I've lived in Sunny Isles for two years and always walked the this place. I'm getting ready to move so I figured I'd give it a try. As it turns out, I haven't been missing anything. read more

Prices are WAYYY too high. They are charging more for 3 tacos than it costs to get into the nearby Buffet across the bridge. The amount of food for the price is robbery and we left hungry. read more

Jorge was my server and bartender. He makes an excellent margarita! The fish tacos were super tasty. Jorge said they caught the fish fresh that morning. They've been around for over 30 years. Excellent authentic Mexican cuisine. Perfect for this former LA girl. read more

Taco Island - Margs and fish tacos at the bar - Mexican Near Me - Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

If I could rate it 0 I would. Horrible food !! Horrible service !!! The service was terrible! Order drinks and was ready to order my food. I was told if I wanted an appetizer and I said no I was ready to order. They proceeded to take only my drink order although I was ready to order. After placing my order, I waited forever for my drink and food. When the drinks arrived it was watered down. I continued to wait for my food but after seeing multiple people come in and still waiting I decided to cancel the food. In an attempt to cancel and get a check I was told that my food was almost done and then being forced to take it and eat it although I wanted my check. Told them I didn't want the food and I would pay for the drink and they called the owner who told them to call the police. Waited over 30 mins for police to arrive just because I didn't want the food and it would be a waste to them. Then the owner calls back and requests to speak to us in which the owner asked what was going on and that the female waiter informed the owner that our food was here and we were refusing to pay the bill! Not at all what happened! We updated the owner on what happened and the owner requested to speak to the staff again. We waited again and asked for an update in which we was told to wait another 10 mins. I then called the cops myself and one of the waiters decided to brink my check for the drinks and stated that he paid for the food. We paid the bill of $79 for our drinks and walked out. While walking down the street the cops arrived and the staff at the store informed the cops that our bill was $200 and we didn't pay it. The receipt given to the cops was printed at 4:05pm, looked at my phone and they had just printed it which wasn't the receipt they gave us. Not sure who the owner is but definitely not a business person! Horrible staff! Horrible service! Horrible drinks! NEVER GOING BACK!!!!! read more

The food was far below satisfactory. I ordered the steak quesadillas and streak burrito. The quesadillas cheese tasted like cheese you buy from a gas station. I couldn't complain about the steak though. The rice in the burrito was undercooked and the portions were all over the place (steak burrito was 80% rice). The service was absolutely terrible, rude waitresses that treat you like you're dumb. The only reason I'd visit again is because the atmosphere of the restaurant, inside the place is very aesthetic read more

George was amazing! Great food and service! We would definitely come back again. Steak tacos were good and the piña colada was also really good. read more

I've been there many times and it was good but this time it was lacking. For starters the portions were small (except for the ground beef, that was adequate) and I was still hungry after finishing it. I wanted a taco salad with ground beef and didn't see that on the menu but I think I've gotten that before. So the server had to ask the bartender if they could put ground beef on the Ensalada Pollo and she said OK. What I got was a separate small container with unseasoned ground beef, a larger styrofoam to-go container with small piles of lettuce, corn, fresh salsa, some half tomato slices and black beans but no dressing or taco chips. Just two small containers of hot sauce. I took it home and put my own dressing on it. I called to complain and got cut off after a fairly long hold and then spoke to a man who did apologize for the lack of dressing and he said tortilla chips were $4.00 extra (who ever heard of a taco salad that didn't come with tortilla chips?) which would have brought the meal to around $40.00 (I did get an expensive mixed drink as well though). read more

We went today with the family because my husband brought food from this place and I liked.(I'm no really a Mexican food lover except for the tacos Al carbon and another plates) but this place have different options and the sazón in the Mexican food is really good. The place is beautiful, the food that I order Skirt Steak with salad and sweet plantains was delicious, also excellent amount and presentation. The Grill fish with French fries and salad was delicious too and the beef enchiladas also. The service was great. Thank you Alexandra and Camilo for stay in charge all the time , you was so professional, nice and attentive and is really good to be in a place that the service is so good. Another good thing is the hours we went at 11:30 AM. Ah next time I'm going to drink a Piña colada that you serve inside the pineapple... read more
