    I've been coming to taco stand for at least the past eight years, and the quality has never gone down no matter what is going on in the area. Tacos stand always has a line, but it's always been worth it. They cook everything super fresh and all their salsas have this kind of zestiness and brightness to them. They also have a bunch that you can pick and choose from. For really good, simple, authentic tacos this place is where you wanna go.

    I really wanted to love the taco stand, but the tacos were just okay and much smaller than what I expected. The best part about the taco stand is their handmade corn tortillas and salsa bar. I tried the Al pastor taco, carne asada volcan taco from their secret menu, and horchata. Solid taco spot, but definitely not worth going out of the way for. SoCal street tacos are just on a different level vs here

    If you've ever been to Los Tacos No. 1 in NYC - The Taco Stand very much resembles it. We got there just in time to snag the last available bar stools by the window. I appreciated the fact that our chips and guacamole were given right at the register so we had something to munch on while our tacos were being made. The guacamole was nice and creamy and not an onion in sight which I very much appreciated. All the tacos are made on corn tortillas which is my favorite but they tend to fall apart easily. Thankfully, plastic forks were available for grabs near the soda fountain. The reason for the lower rating is because the entire time we were there the only trash can in sight was overflowing. Not one employee addressed it which was a bit concerning since it seemed to be the only place for guests to throw their trash away at aside from leaving trays at the tables.

    PESCADO TACO (MAHI MAHI) MUSHROOM TACO MAR Y TIERRA FRIES
    Jillian B.

    In all our visits to Wynwood, we had somehow never stopped by The Taco Stand until this weekend... and oh. my. gosh. It's probably my new favorite in the area! Very reasonably priced with a good amount of filling in the tacos. We also got the mar y tierra fries which was a super generous portion. One thing to note with the loaded fries is that they use a more american cheese-based queso, so if you're not a fan of nacho cheese, may not be for you. We LOVED the fact that there is a salsa bar with a ton of salsa options to customize your bites further. Not much seating inside and it does get crowded around peak mealtime. Everything was solid, would definitely return.

    Taco Stand had a long line standing all the way outside! Must be good if so many people willing to wait in line. Had to find out for myself. Ordered the carne asada tacos and the Al pastor burrito. These two were a hit ! The carne asada tacos were flavorful wish I had ordered more than two. Very popular spot and eventhough there is normally a long line the staff was fast and food came out fast. Clean and vibrant spot loved the Chapulin Colorado picture.

    With a line out the door all night, you know this spot has a good reputation. Let's Taco bout this iconic location that's small in size but big in flavor! The Taco stand has limited seating inside with an open kitchen where you can see some magic happen. We ordered the carne asada taco served on fresh corn tortillas and made fresh and fast. The Al pastor is aways a must try and I got it in a burrito. Every great taco spot always has to have a salsa bar and the taco stand has all the perfect dressings and salsa's to complement your amazing Mexican dish. Service was fast and ready in no time after your order is placed.

    New horchata

    The name the Taco Stand is fitting cause it really is a tiny place. But they are incredible. You order your food right at the cashier, and the girl was so nice. She even told me about a new aguas frescas drinks they had and recommended we try it. The good comes out rather quickly. Mind you it's made to order so there is a little wait. But you can spend some time at the sauce bar getting all you may need for your experience. This time we got al pastor, chicken and carne asada tacos along with carne asada fries. Those fries were to die for!! It's covered in a cheese sauce with the carne asada an its so amazing!! The horchata was also delicious. They come bottled which is convenient if you're taking it on the go. Definitely one of the top Mexican spots in Wynwood. Check em out!

    As we asked around the area we were hanging out, many recommended this place. And as we should, we followed those suggestions. The line wasn't too bad but when we got there it was a little wait. The place was popping and full of people. Smelled great inside so that was a good sign. We ordered a few different tacos and the asada fries. The fries were solid. Tasty. And for the tacos I want to say my favorite was the nopal or the asada. But either way the food was good. Not your typical Mexican food as I'm used to from Texas but I'd eat here again.

    Our party of four rolled up to the taco stand on a Tuesday night around 8pm and it was a SCENE. the place was packed with hungry young people and the 5 guys behind the counter were flying around and just whipping orders out--the chaos was perfection for a hole in the wall taco joint but with the seating space for a larger group. We ordered the carne asada burrito, Camarillo, pesce, carne, and carnitas tacos. And a huge order to carne asada fries. The portions were massive and the price, affordable considering the chain is an establishment in a youthful, gentrified neighborhood. Definitely come hungry and bring friends if you wanna order a ton of food! They also serve beers and have a cooler full of paletas to round out your meal.

    Tortillas

    If you come late in the night, expect a bit of a wait in line (about 10mins this Thursday after 10pm) but it moves quickly. The enticing smell will keep you company. Lots of salsa options- a creamy chipotle, ciltrano. Salsa verde, a fire roasted ( tatameda) and habanero. The tacos- I got al pastor and pescado (grilled Mahi mahi) Size- slightly larger than food truck sized. Al pastor- good flavor but dry each bite. Pescado- I was surprised I enjoyed this a lot. Fish was tender and flaky, the cabbage added nice cool texture and the salsa chipotle was balanced. Maybe an off night for the Al pastor? It's worth seeing if it's a fluke. 3.5 overall- solid option in Wynwood. P.S. Sit at the counter to watch the tortillas being made or a burrito.

    The food and service was outstanding!!!! We were starving and this was our first stop. Two burritos (California and chicken). 5 tacos of variety. All were insane!!!!! Pastor, chicken, shrimp and Baja. All were so good. Ice cold modelos right in front. So good!

    This is my favorite taco spot and I haven't reviewed it even though I've been coming here for years. It is always a busy spot, especially at night on the weekends but it is worth the wait. Its got limited seating though. When it gets packed, there may be a wait to get your food. There is tons of colorful graffiti on the walls to keep you distracted while waiting for your food. I always order the Mar y Tierra fries/burrito depending on my mood. They cook the shrimp just right and the steak is delicious as well. For their tacos, I do like the carne asada, camaron, and al pastor tacos. If you need a late night taco craving, stop by the Taco Stand.

    Carne asada, pork, shrimp tacos

    This place was great. I stayed at the Moxy and this taco stand was always busy. I recommend the shrimp taco and burrito. Also the corn was top notch. You will wait but it's worth it.

    Ask the Community - The Taco Stand

    Is there adequate seating for 4 for lunch at 12:30 during the week, and will there be a line?

    They have both indoor and outdoor seating. A good amount of seating.

    Do they still have a sauce station or no more with covid?

    No self-serve sauce station. They pack the sauce in little plastic takeout containers - ask for the sauces you want when you pick up your order (whether you're dining in or getting food to go).

    Do they normally not answer this time of day for pick up?

    They get super busy and because everything is home made, they may just not have the ability.

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.

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.

Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

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.

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.

Chorizo Queso: Not your traditional dipping queso, but FULL of flavor and the chorizo was great, decent portion. The table loved this. Comes with some warm fresh purple corn tortillas! 9/10 Guacamole: Nothing extraordinary, standard guac, I wish there was more guac and chips! The tortillas these come with are the same as the queso but fried and uncut. A little different but it was a nice change! 7/10 Chicken and Chorizo Enchiladas: Not your standard enchilada that you may be used to! Full of flavor though and everything was cooked very well! 8/10! Drinks: 10/10 Fair warning: expect a bit of sticker shock when the bill arrives.

    The purpose of a food crawl is to theoretically try a variety of bites, typically with one theme…read more This was the case la few Sundays back for a taco crawl UYE. Having stayed till closing of two music week events the prior to evenings, this was in my mind a great recovery meal. Despite the name, this restaurant is not just Mexican, but actually fusion with Uruguayan cuisine. The main courses focused on that area, and the tacos had a lot of exotica such as ear and tongue. Given my preferences, and my stomach, the only basic options that I would get were there Al Pastor and chicken tacos, five dollars each. The menu said that they had alcohol, but apparently not on that week, supposedly for some bureaucratic issue. The tacos were served with just the tortilla and the meat, along with a basket of fixings, such as cilantro and line. No complaints of the food really, the tacos were actually well seasoned and for my taste buds made even better with the hot sauce that left a yummy after burn. When I went to the bathroom, the handle on the door was damaged. Besides that, in the end I was not feeling the place especially that there was a mandatory gratuity.

    Stopped in for fast, delicious late night eats. Came because of the high yelp rating and will come…read moreback because it lives up to its reputation. We were starving and ordered quickly, got our food after just a few short minutes along with two trays of sauces and fixings. The quesabirria was INSANELY delicious, and the tacos were too. We enjoyed a glass of maracuya which is always so nice. Friendly and quick service on top of yummy food makes it an easy restaurant to keep going back to.

    I have heard so much around this place and I can confidently say it lives up to the hype!…read more Finding parking nearby is a bit tricky as it is only street parking and there's only outside dining available. The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food. I complimented them on the music selection and they mentioned the owner is dominican and puerto rican which explained the great music selection. I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. 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"
