Miami isn't traditionally a taco town—Cuban food dominates—but the Mexican community has grown, bringing authentic tacos alongside creative Latin-fusion options.
Authentic Mexican
Taqueria Viva Mexico
$ • Little Havana
Authentic taquerias in surprising locations. Al pastor on the trompo.
Tacos and Tattoos

Late-night taco window. Perfect post-clubbing fuel.
El Rey de las Fritas
$ • Flagler
Cuban, but their tacos are solid. A Miami institution.
Trendy & Modern
Coyo Taco
$$ • Wynwood
Wynwood hot spot with excellent tacos and hidden speakeasy. Very Miami.

$$ • Brickell
Modern tacos in Brickell City Centre. Good for shopping breaks.
Playa Limón
$$ • Coral Gables
Mexican seafood with excellent fish tacos.
Late Night
Taco Stand
$ • South Beach
Open late on the beach. Solid drunk food option.
El Mago de las Fritas
$ • Little Havana

Bodega Taqueria

Taqueria up front, speakeasy in back. Very Miami Beach.
Pro Tip: Miami's Cuban food is the star, but Homestead and Florida City (south of Miami) have more authentic Mexican restaurants serving farmworker communities.
