Went there on Saturday night. Awesome barbacoa tacos, guacamole was very good as well. We sat outside on the sidewalk. Chicken tacos and quesadillas were okay. Recommended read more

Amazing food and quick service but the staff is not friendly or helpful. Had to remind our server to bring things we had already paid for. 4 stars is simply because of the food. read more

The guacamole was bla! No much taste to it, the chips were nice and crispy but the guacamole need it flavor. Also order a carne asada soft taco, it wasn't back but i wouldn't come back for it! The only other good thing besides the chips was the margarita read more

It's true that the place looks small and a little sketchy but it's so worth it! They're the best authentic tacos in Miami! Try the tacos al pastor! They're delicious! read more

Dani was amazing. What great service. The food was very good. The beer was cold. Salsa and chips super fresh.

Very good. Authentic. And the horchata was sweet and delicious! If you like REAL Mexican food, you will like this place :)

Decent food and authentic, but a little bit flavorless. You can easily tell that the tortillas were frozen or came out from a package and the salsas were watered down, so they barely had a flavor. If you are looking mexican, then this is one place you can try. read more

Five stars all the way; while I am still fairly new to yelp, I have been coming here since 2011 and the food is always exceptional. I agree with other reviews that the location leaves something to be desired but the food is AWESOME! My preferred dish is the chicken burrito with some of the mild or medium sauce on top. You can't go wrong with their options and the lack of a Taco Bell in the area might explain why :) Don't be fooled by the imitators in the area, this place is legit Mexican! read more

So delicious. We've been looking for a great taco place for almost a full year, and this is it. I am as thrilled with this food as I was disappointed by Coyo last weekend. They have beef, chicken, pork, lengua, maybe a few others. We got carry out, four tacos for $9. read more

The food is good but it's a shame that the wait staff is so rude. Our waitress looked miserable while taking our order, got it wrong, then made it seem as if we had misspoken. She disappeared in the time between giving us our food and bringing the tab, and overall just had a negative attitude. Although the food is good it is honestly not worth putting up with the staff. read more

I love this place. I had had four tacos and two beers. The atmosphere is like you're actually in mexico, although I haven't been to mexico before. read more

What a fantastic little hole in the wall! We had the beef flautas and a variety of tacos and they were all delicious, especially the tacos al pastor. I'm not typically a huge fan of Mexican food (primarily because most of it sucks here in Miami), but what a great find! I had to stop myself from scooping the scraps onto my fork with my finger. lol As a side note, the owner and his friends and family were all incredibly kind and engaging. He told us about all the photos he had on the wall (fairly impressive wall of fame for such a tiny spot) and I was inspired to learn that he had outgrown his original little lunch trailor after only 5 months of being in business. I love stories like that... it's what makes America great. :D read more

Blink and you'll miss it! I went with a beef burrito ($6.50). It wasn't all that big, but it did have quite a lot of meat. Just beef and a little cheese, and lettuce and tomato on the side. The salsas were very good. I probably won't look for any more Mexican food in Miami. Actually I rarely drive down there but was at Dade County Auditorium for an event. For me the taquerias of Lake Worth are closer. read more

Food is fresh, authentic and delicious. The corn is AMAZING, the tostadas and carnitas tacos are so good...everything we've tried here has always been on point! Wish they would put out some toothpicks for the corn aftermath read more

The food was good. But the salsa choices where subpar. Also they absolutely need to have sour cream. Those tacos are too dry to eat alone. Over all was ok experience not enough to visit back. read more

First time here and can say VERY authentic Mexican tacos.So good, had to order seconds.Defiantly coming back again‍‍

I ordered lengua + asada tacos. Both were good but I definitely preferred the lengua. The salsas are FIRE. Literally. Delicious AND spicy. I recommend the red one if you really like spicy foods. Will definitely come back. Great late night eats. read more

Always when im around its a must go to.. love their tacos 5 stars, great customer service always its a hidden gem!!!

El Carnal was definitely a surprise. My husband and I were told this place had authentic Mexican Tacos and Burritos, but how many times have you heard that before?? The location is small and can be a bit uncomfortable if really full, but thank God for the out door seating. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos and my husband ordered the Tacos al Pastor. Each plate came with (3) corn tortillas and and the meat selection desired. They provide various sauces and Pico de Gallo for seasoning. I must say the simplicty of the food and the natural ingredients, had me melting on the floor. This place is a whole in the wall, but the service and food are great. I am a fan!! read more

My friend took me here last nite i had 4 tacos mixto, The guacamole with chips n super spicy pico de gallo. read more

Honestly sone of the best tacos I've ever tasted. I read reviews, yet never really leave any. This one was worth it. Extremely authentic setting maybe a little much for the higher end types but the food was fantastic. I went at 11 pm on a Sunday and the place was operating like a lunch rush. They also had a selection of some of the most intense hot sauces I've ever tried. read more

Had a bad experience where they wouldn't give me lettuce in a side box, instead telling me I should put it on tacos or would need to charge extra. Overall food is good but I'm sad to say I'll be looking at other taco places in the future after tonight. read more

Not the best place if you can pass it up. Only reason why I gave a 2 is because they had modela. Other than that meat was way below average. I'm from Vegas and our local taco shop Roberto's out does this place. I had carne asada nachos my cousin had carne asada and chicken tacos and she couldn't even finish the last 1. Late night spot not worth the stop. read more

Looking for authentic tacos, go to El Carnal. This is not Tex-Mex. It's a laid back, casual spot. I can't say one taco is better than another because the four we tried were all great, fresh, and prepared to order (nice and warm). We had el pastor, the fajita taco, chorizo, and carne asada. They had run out of the carnitas, which makes me want to go back and see what I'm missing out on. They only sell one dessert, the chocoflan. Don't let looks deceive you. When the dessert came to the table I was not impressed by the way it looked, but it was actually very moist and just the right amount of sweet. This dessert is chocolate cake with flan cooked on top. The owner was at the restaurant saying hello to everyone who entered and since he knew we had never been he was extra accommodating, telling us about all the condiments and hot sauces, making sure everything came out as we ordered it. The only down fall is that they don't serve too many chips and charge for refills. Considering how good everything else was this didn't phase me. read more

If you like tacos this place has to be on your list Simple low end, small but good seating outside read more

Really good food, good portions, good prices and friendly staff. Authentic Mexican food, which is hard to locate in Miami, with reasonable prices, also hard to locate in Miami. You won't be disappointed. We ordered the Burrito, Chicken Nachos and Fajitas, all very tasty. Homemade salsa choices are also really good. The staff is super friendly. read more

Ahhh I love this place. Always here at a ridiculous hour on a weeknight. Perfect late night spot for tacos. Al pastor and carnitas are the best thing to order here, along with tamarindo juice if they have it! read more

This place is cheap and open really late. Service was good. Food was eh! The meat was low quality and guacamole had no flavor. Disappointing... read more

Had the pastor and carne asada tacos, both were very delicious!!! 4 tacos for $9 = amazing deal plus their avocado sauce is my fav!!

Cute spot, great food and value but the service needs lots of work. Long wait times for tacos you can get out of a food truck in 5 minutes is a huge NO! Other than that I'd consider returning because the food is great. read more

Let me begin by saying that it was really late at night and we were STARVING, that's how I ended up at this place. I ordered tacos al pastor and the food was ready in less than 5 minutes. The tacos were good, simple but good; that is, until...... I FOUND A HAIR ON MY TACO! It was a medium sized hair that was really intertwined in the pulp of my lime and meat. We were sitting outside, next to the little cart where the food is prepared and I began to observe as the "chef" grabbed all the tortillas with his hands, wiped or scratched his nose, grabbed another tortilla, ALLL with NO GLOVES. I began to freak, mainly because the tacos were already in my tummy. My husband, who loves "authentic" hole in the wall places, told me to relax. It was then when I looked down and saw cockroaches everywhere, entering their premises. We had already paid by this point, so I ran to my car and went home. That's the end of my horrible story at this little hole in the wall taco place. read more

First of all our took about 40mins to come out ... we only order tacos and nachos. The waiter forgot the nachos after waiting 40mins. Had to wait another 10 for the nachos, they finally come out and it's horrible. Taste like all they did was melt some cheese and throw a Can of beans on top. The meat was very dry and had no flavor. Vp sent it back and the owner came up to me basically yelling saying how I don't like it. It's regular cheese and rolled his eyes and walked away. Very rude will never come back again read more

I've been coming here for the past few years. Whenever I want REAL Mexican tacos and tostadas. Service is always good, and the prices can't be beat! read more
