Sydney S.

Definitely the best Mexican food in Miami! I've been to the wynwood location and tried out the 8th street location recently. We went on a Friday night, so there was unfortunately a line. The parking situation isn't the best unless you're lucky (like us) and someone left their spot as we pulled into the parking lot. The food is consistent with their other locations and genuinely the best Mexican food. Inside there's lots of seating and the service is great but sometimes slow.

Carne Asada, Pollo Asado and the Nopal taco
Paulo I.

Tacos have always been a hit or miss for me. Usually a miss and The Taco Stand is not the exception. I ordered the Carne Asada, Pollo Asado and the Nopal taco. When I got them, I first noticed how un presentable it was. I like how they pinch the bottom but the down side is that all the filling is then pushed to the top which makes messy when trying to eat. The flavor was decent, I wouldn't say it was delicious but it was alright. My major con is the lack of seasoning, everything felt under season. The Taco Stand is fast casual, so you order in the front and wait for them to call your name. The service was friendly but since it's fast casual you usually don't interact much with the employees. Next time I go I'll try something else from their menu.

Chicken burrito, in progress
Sergio F.

I came here for dinner the last taco Thursday while in the Little Havana area. I've been to their Wynwood location more than a couple of times in fact that they make their tacos and burritos fresh to order. Yes, that means you're going to wait a little bit! This last visit, I started with the bucket of chips and saturated it with fresh pico de gallo from the salsa bar. They have eight different salsas to choose from. The chips were crispy perfect to snack on. My very large burrito was full of fresh, rotisserie style chicken, very flavorful and a good balance of the other toppings. In fact, it was so full of seasoning that it became deconstructed. Messy street food is the best kind of street food!

Fish tacos

I cannot stop raving about this place. Coming from LA, there are more taco stands than there are people and it's hard to find a good one, but this chain needs to come to LA!!! All of the salsas, esquites, aguas frescas, handmade tortillas and flavorful carnes. Everything was so good!!! BRB booking a flight to MIA now so I can go eat here.

The Taco Stand in Wynwood is one of my favorite taco places in Miami and this location delivers the same fresh, made to order quality food without the hassle of going to Wynwood. The times I have been to this location there hasn't been a very long line and there is ample seating. Since the food is still made to order, you do have to wait a bit for your food still, but it's worth it! My all time favorite is the El Pastor.

Corn
May M.

By far the best taco place outside of Mexico City and in Miami. Place was styled after places in Mexico, simple but efficient. Staff was very friendly and calls out to let you know when your order is ready for pickup. Tacos, corn and guacamole were all fresh and delicious and I was happy about the mushroom tacos and burritos. Nice selection of cervezas and amazing michelada! Only thing I could think to improve it would be if more vegetarian options were offered and if there was outdoor seating, as the AC was set so high it made sitting inside too long uncomfortable.

Excellent tacos. Large seating. Fun atmosphere. The tacos here are delicious! I particularly enjoyed the Camaron and Sonora tacos. The Camaron tacos (Shrimp) was flavorful, and loaded with Avocado,cheese, cabbage, toppings, and sauces. The Sonora was a steak tacos loaded with cheese, beans, Avocado, guacamole, onions and cilantro. The Pollo asada and the loaded fries were also a hit. What makes these tacos flavorful are the fluffy corn tortillas and they are served fully loaded. Most places only give you onions and cilantro. Taco stand gives you the works!! The staff was friendly, and the service was fast!

Chicken tacos with guac, steak with guac
Autumn N.

Found this place on vaca that is open late night. They fry fresh churros to order that were an amazing way to end the meal. The star is the salsa bar with over 6+ free salsa options and fresh toppings like pickled onions, pico, creamy avocado sauce etc. food is fresh and cooked to order. Must eat fast because the cold toppings cool the food down quickly. Very clean inside and was full for a 1am meal. (Bonus - they have a location in Dallas as well)

Chips and guacamole
Sophie S.

Pretty good spot for tacos. I ordered delivery which probably isn't the best for tacos but after a quick air fry they were good! The chips were so crunchy and perfectly salted and the guac was fresh. The carne asada and al pastor tacos were so flavorful but the fish taco was lacking. The shrimp taco was also great! Overall would go back here but go to the actual restaurant (not delivery).

Spacious and bright dining area.
Devin W.

Little Havana location is just as good as wynwood location but a bit slower on preparing orders. Indoor dining only but it's very spacious with plenty of seating. Another enjoyable dining experience.

Shrimp quesadilla
Cindi W.

Came here for lunch and got the shrimp quesadilla. It was huge and super cheesy!! I loved the salsa bar! Definitely a good spot for a quick meal.

Leslie S.

Pros: wow, wow, wow, DELICIOUS. The place is understated but don't let the outside fool you, the tacos are phenomenal. I had the shrimp taco and mushroom taco and they were the best tacos I've had in a long while. The music selection was also 10/10 with some banging salsa oldies. Cons: The only con is that it's not closer to my house. Will return soon.

Indoor
Vanessa R.

The Al Pastor were AMAZING!!! Best tacos I've had in a while! The shrimp ones were good but the Al Pastor were much better. The churros were yummy they weren't too hard and the fries were just okay. But I would totally go again just for the Al Pastor tacos 10/10! Service was also very nice it is a bit of a wait because they make things fresh and do get a bit packed. The place is also very cute and has parking which is a plus in Calle 8.

My wife and I stopped by Don Maguey for the first time while passing through the area for lunch…read morebefore heading back home to Boca Raton. Parking was a bit challenging due to the limited number of spaces, but once we walked inside, the experience more than made up for it. We were warmly greeted by Carolina, who also became our server. She was incredibly patient and took her time walking us through the menu, explaining each dish and how everything is prepared. Her dedication to customer satisfaction truly stood out, and we hope management recognizes what an asset she is. Carolina proudly shared that every item on the menu is made in‑house, and it absolutely shows. My wife ordered the Quesadilla de Pollo with a side of Arroz Mexicano and couldn't stop talking about the exceptional flavors. I chose the Tostada al Pastor, a small Tortilla Soup, and a side salad. Everything was delicious, but the Tortilla Soup was the star of the meal--a perfect example of why in‑house preparation matters. Since we're not from the area, we weren't sure where to go for lunch, and we truly lucked out choosing Don Maguey--and having Carolina as our server. Thank you, Carolina. As the banner on the app says, MEXICAN FOOD MADE WITH LOVE, and our visit proved it.

BEWARE: Before I get to the food; the waitress is manipulating the system to receive more of a tip…read more My food total charge with tax was $60 and change, I left a $10 and change tip. When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system.

We went here between January 27 & February 6/2026. La Potranca has five Florida locations, but this cantina does not feel like a chain. Authentic sabor Mexicano with an excellent friendly staff. Family friendly & handi-able accesible from the parking lot. This location gets full by 7pm but there is extended service & seating in the common covered courtyard. Plenty of parking in this strip mall location. Service is excellent, fast, & great choices of tacos & drinks. You can choose from 14 different meats/cuts for your tacos, including birria & al pastor. Bow to the taco! Also gringas, vampiros, & burritos. They have bowls (they're BIG) & brunch. p.s. try the churros with 3 dipping sauces. Drinks are extra special here. The clamato & beer cocktail is very unique. Served in a Tajin rimmed large mug, with lime & a tamarind wrapped straw. Excellante! Also a variety of margaritas served in whimsical glasses & their three house cervazas (beers) on draft. La Potranca pays homage to iconic singer & actor Vincente Fernandez "King of Ranchera". Check out the interesting connection with the staff or online. The staff here is excellent. Very helpful when navigating the menu. Very friendly. True professionals. Special shout out to Mauricio & Ralphael - you hombres make this place truly special. Mucho Gracias. We give La Potranca our highest recommendation.

Mauricio was at the bar and we definitely missed being under his attention by not sitting there. Eliezer (the Venezuelan waiter from Mérida) took care of us in the dining room. Both are always very friendly and attentive. This time we decided to sit in the dining room because we were a group of three and had a lot to talk about. The place has 4 TVs and we were able to enjoy the France vs Spain match. We all ordered La Tropical Draft beer, a light, smooth, and very refreshing blonde. In total we had 16 beers . We shared nachos with grilled steak, which were very good (they pour the melted cheese right at the table). We also ordered tripa tacos well toasted (that's the technique) as we requested, and they came out excellent. Note: They have different promotions or offers depending on the day, not a regular happy hour variety, so it's good to be aware of that. The restaurant offers a good variety of 8 salsas: Sirloin, Chips, Guacamole, Verde, Vicente, Pastor, Chilanga, and Asada. Good atmosphere, pleasant service, and tasty food. We'll definitely keep coming back.

You can tell they work hard and it definitely doesn't go unnoticed. The food? Easily 10/10. I ordered the carne asada fries and a carne asada taco, and both were outstanding. The fries were honestly insane, not just because they were delicious, but because of how massive the portion was lol.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

Online it shows the quesadilla is $13, when I ordered it was $14 + 2.50 for onions and tomatoes (which ended up coming on the side). Also, when I asked to order that, the waitress was a bit rude. So I ended up paying $17.82 for a terrible quesadilla and experience. I really liked the horchata matcha though (hence the 2 stars).

Before going, we called the restaurant to ask if they would be showing the World Cup games, and we were told they would be showing all of them. Based on that, we expected a good viewing experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. There aren't enough TVs, many of the views are obstructed, and we actually had to move to the bar just to see part of the game. Even then, the music was so loud that we couldn't hear the match at all. When we asked the manager about it, he told us that ownership's instructions were to play music instead of the game's audio. That was especially surprising considering this is a Mexican-owned restaurant and the match was a Mexico World Cup game. The biggest disappointment, however, was the service. To be fair, the restaurant was only about half full, so this wasn't a situation where the staff was overwhelmed by a packed house or unusually heavy demand. I was there with two female friends. I ordered a martini while my friends simply asked for water. The bartender reacted as if asking for water was somehow an inconvenience. We weren't even served chips and salsa until we repeatedly waved down members of the staff and specifically requested them. The bartenders consistently ignored us. My friends waited nearly 20 minutes before anyone came back so they could order their martinis. We later ordered guacamole and the Leña skirt steak. The guacamole arrived promptly, but the steak never did. When we asked another bartender to check on it, he looked in the system and told us there was no food order entered at all. This was unbelievable because the original bartender had described the dish, asked how we wanted the steak cooked, and appeared to take the order. He simply never entered it. When we complained to the manager about the missing food, he told us the kitchen was already closed but that he would "make an exception" and have the steak prepared for us. That response really upset me because this wasn't us asking for special treatment--it was the restaurant trying to correct its own mistake. I told him to simply cancel the order. He then said not to worry because he wouldn't charge us for it, as if not charging for a meal would somehow make up for the experience we had just endured. I declined the offer, but he responded by saying he would bring it anyway and that if we didn't want it, we could just leave it there. To me, that response was even more dismissive and completely missed the point. Throughout the evening, the bartenders were inattentive, dismissive, and consistently rude. Their attitude completely overshadowed what had always been one of my favorite restaurants in Coconut Grove. By halftime, we had simply had enough. Instead of continuing what should have been a fun night, we decided to leave the restaurant and go home, where we watched the rest of the Mexico match in the comfort of my home. Sadly, that turned out to be the best part of the night. I'm writing this review because I know Koko is capable of much better. My previous visits have always been enjoyable, which made this experience even more disappointing. However, if you're planning to watch a World Cup match there, I would strongly recommend choosing another venue. While they may tell you they'll be showing the game, the viewing experience is poor, the game audio is replaced with loud music, and based on our visit, the service was, without question, the worst I've experienced there since the restaurant opened. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously because Koko has always been one of my favorite restaurants, and I'd like to be able to recommend it again. Unfortunately, after this experience, I simply can't.

From the moment we arrived, we were seated immediately. Our server, Francisco, was exceptional, and Exantus, the server assistant, was equally impressive. They worked together like a well-oiled machine. Exantus constantly made sure our table was cleared of empty plates and glasses, and he kept the table dry by wiping away the condensation from our drinks. With the Miami heat, that little extra attention made a big difference. Francisco provided outstanding service. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He answered all of our questions, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

The tortillas these come with are the same as the queso but fried and uncut.

Having stayed till closing of two music week events the prior to evenings, this was in my mind a great recovery meal.

Given my preferences, and my stomach, the only basic options that I would get were there Al Pastor and chicken tacos, five dollars each.

It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost! All in all this place is fire and if you're craving nachos, this is definitely the place you should come to get your fix!

So I've been ordering food from uptown 66 for 5 years. I live a few blocks away and it was our…read morefavorite place to grab a quick bite or late night meal. Ever since I tried their steak Caesar salad I've been obsessed. That was my usual from there for 5 years. 2 nights ago we ordered from uptown and when we got our order I was so angry I didn't want to even eat my food. 1. Steak literally looked like wet dog food 2. They no longer do the frisée salad instead It's just plain old Romaine lettuce 3. For some reason they stopped giving their salsa now which was the highlight of my order 4. The container is so small and the egg was so hot that it melted all the Parmesan cheese and it was just a nasty glob 5. The eggs were so over boiled that they had that grey tint on the yolk and smelled horrible 6. 2 salads cost almost $50 so jokes on us Never again!!! I've literally banned uptown from our house. The audacity to charge so much for a mid salad topped with nasty dog food looking "steak"
