Alegria Taco

Alegría Tacos is a gem — plain and simple. From the second you pull up, you’re met with warmth, not just from the grill, but from the family running the show. These are the kind of people who treat you like you’re already a regular — smiling, generous, and clearly proud of what they’ve built. Now let’s talk flavor. The al pastor? Unreal. Perfect balance of sweet and heat, with crispy edges that somehow melt in your mouth. The asada is bold and juicy, packed with smoky richness like it just came off a backyard grill in Mexico City. And the chicken — underrated until you try it. Tender, seasoned to perfection, and not just a throwaway option like at most places. It’s rare to find a spot where you feel just as good after the meal as you did during. Alegría isn’t just serving tacos — they’re serving up pride, hospitality, and real-deal flavor that hits you right in the soul. We can’t wait to go back.

Incredible Experience – A Must-Visit for Authentic Mexican Cuisine! Absolutely phenomenal! If you’re craving real, flavorful, and truly authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Every dish is packed with bold, fresh flavors that transport you straight to Mexico. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch – friendly, fast, and genuinely caring. From the burritos to the seasoned meats, everything was beyond delicious. Trust me, come hungry, leave happy… and thank me later! 🌮🔥🇲🇽

Amazingly delicious tacos !!! The owner and staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. I will definitely visit again and recommend this to my family and friends!

Very friendly staff, clean, presentable. Loved the torta de asada!! Love this spot.

Absolutely delicious. I came for the first time yesterday, and I'm already back today for lunch! I love the chicken tacos, and the lunch special is a great price for the amount of food. I also love that it's a small place - makes for a cozy lunch. Friendly and welcoming staff. All around new favorite taco spot! I'm already planning to come back very soon to try the chicken taco salad.

This spot was closed for about a month but finally had a chance to visit it. For the food, we got al pastor tacos and an al pastor burrito with a side of beans and rices. The tacos and burrito were incredible. This is place is very very small, so chances of eating inside are not too high and it's a bit hot inside but the focus for me for this place was the food which was incredible. If atmosphere is a big part for someone this place would drop a star. The service was great, the man upfront was very attentive to everyone eating inside while taking orders.

A Must Try hole-in-the-wall spot in South Florida ♥️ I cannot believe that I have not yet reviewed my absolute favorite taco restaurant!! 🙌🏼 Just cannot say enough, it is the kinda food that makes your soul happy!! The best Mexican Food spot in Florida and any I’ve ever tried on the East Coast and trust me I’ve tried way too many and they are all subpar in comparison to Alegria. I’ve been visiting this place for over 6 years now and have never been disappointed. Worth every 💵 and consistent taste each time 🤌🏽 I always bring my friends and family here when they’re visiting, almost like a landmark for tourists 😎 1. The tortillas are perfectly toasted, crunchy and soft as it should be. 2. Al Pastor and Carnitas are my top 2 favorito choices of meat, although every meat option is amazing. 3. The service is quick enough. 4. The owner and each staff member is super friendly and accommodating. If you’re dining in there are only 2-3 tables, it is very clean and well-maintained. I vote to open up branches 😉

This was our 1st time trying Alegria and my daughter's and I were very pleased! We were in the area and craving tacos and googled what's near by, Alegria popped up with the best reviews. Im glad we stopped in! Very delicious food and also the employees were super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating by bringing us some chairs to sit outside. We will definitely be back!!

Five Star Tacos! Five Star Burritos! Small corner shop turning out some really great authentic Mexican fare! My Veggie Burrito was very generous and satisfying!

We had an excellent lunch here. Sometimes you're not sure you'll agree with the Yelp reviews, but this set was right on. Yes, it's a tiny hole in the wall place. Located on the west side of Andrews Avenue at the south end of the strip and at the corner of the street. We parked a couple doors north and walked over. Inside, there are only two small tables and one booth. I ordered a couple tacos and my husband had a burrito. They were doing a lot of take out when we were there. Many of the people stopping by were long time, regular customers. One guy said he'd been coming here for twelve years! I asked and they said the woman cooking has been doing so in the same location for 18 years. We dined in (we got the booth!). I had one chicken taco and one asada (steak). Both meats were well cooked, nicely seasoned, and hot off the grill. Even the taco "shells" were warmed. With mild white onions and cilantro, they were some of the better tacos I've ever had. I didn't need to add a thing. My husband's veggie burrito was packed with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onions, jalapeños, and sour cream. He said it was good. But he wished they'd added the cheese he'd wanted, too. They have Mexican sodas, and even Inca cola. We just shared a canned soda (American) and they nicely gave us a couple cups of ice. They now have Mexican ice cream bars in several flavors for dessert. And they're contemplating adding a couple other options as well. And yes, I'd come back.

This place is definitely a hidden gem. One thing I was not prepared for was the lack of seating and how incredibly small it was. But the amazing customer service and flavorful food made up for it. The Tacos exceeded my expectations. While waiting for our food to be prepared we had the privilege to speak to the husband of the owner, he honestly made us feel like family. I can't say enough good things about the food here and how fresh it is. The burritos were huge and full of fresh ingredients and flavors, the tacos were amazing and the rice and beans perfectly complemented the food.

The size of the restaurant may be "small" as some of the other reviews have mentioned but it's MIGHTY. The expression "good things come in small packages" is an understatement with this place. Cozy and warm from the authentic decor, pleasant owners and love poured into the food you can taste with every bite. Their service is impeccable! I needed a last minute order of 200 tacos (with sides) for my office and they over delivered! From the quality of food, the careful packaging, and the being able to complete the order within 2 hours is unheard of but they were able to do it - MIGHTY INDEED. I highly recommend this establishment for all my taco lovers! You won't be disappointed

Alegria Taco @alegriatacos Oakland Park, FL It was love at first bite! Service was friendly and i felt right at home!

Paired perfectly with a guava @jarritos If you're looking for Authentic Mexican Tacos, this is definitely the place to be! What's your favorite taco filling? #alegriataco #Alegria #taco #tacotuesday #fishtacos #authentic #Mexican #jarritos #holeinthewall #guava #oaklandpark #letsdrinkz #eatzwithsweetz #letseatz

Good food , the tacos are flavorful ! A bit pricey for the place though The place lacks of cleaning and the trash was super overfilled

Came here on my lunch break , and was not disappointed made an order knowing the spot and they made it in under 10 minutes. These tacos were some of the best I've had in a while. They don't taste like your typical tacos and I believe they use a different type of corn tortilla that I don't see often. They seared the tortillas a bit which gave it a bit of crisp when you bite into the taco the steak was seasoned and delish the toppings were fresh not only that, the rice and beans were good too. can't wait to come again and try the torta and their burrito, I see why they're so highly rated

Best tacos I've had in my entire life! Not too overcomplicated, just good meat and good ingredients!!

Fantastic authentic street tacos , i got the al pastor and they were even better than ones i had in Puerto Vallarta mexico , very full of meat $4.95 per taco well worth it . Service also A+ , super nice people

Ordered a steak burrito, chicken quesadilla and a variety of 4 tacos - everything was incredible. Can't go wrong!

Amazing food and super nice staff. I will be coming back many many more times. I got the chorizo tacos. My friends got tacos too. I heard the burritos are delicious as well.

Some of the most authentic Mexican street tacos I've experienced in Florida! We found them on Yelp while visiting the Fort Lauderdale area, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The owner herself was there taking orders around lunch time on a Thursday and they were definitely busy (looks like they do a big to-go businesses). I recommend calling ahead and putting your order in for pickup if you're on a time crunch. We were on vacation, so we didn't mind the wait. We ordered one of everything (asada/steak, pollo, chorizo, al pastor, carnitas)... they were honestly all amazing. I think the chorizo and the asada were my two faves tho! Paired perfectly with Jarritos and a Mexican Coke. I love when a spot like this has a full fridge of Jarritos. It's a small joint with only about 2 tables inside and a couple outside as well. They also have some good lunch combo options, but since this was our first visit, we needed to try allll the tacos. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in South Florida!

They have the best tacos in my opinion. The food is delicious no matter what you get. The service is always friendly and you can tell it's genuine. The place is small but I love places like that, the food is always good. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone

This is the closest to homemade as I could get. Their birria tacos are ahhhmazing! We also tried the chicken tacos and birriaqueso tacos, which are just as excellent. This is a must try! The place is a bit small so suggest taking to go.

Sometimes when things come in small packages, they are the biggest gift. My vegan daughter picked this spot to help me with my birria taco addiction. When I say this is a hole in the wall, I'm never t kidding. There is one booth and maybe 2 tables and one chair. There are 2 tables outside that sit 2 people. There is no alcohol, but that did not turn me away. I was here for the taco. The taco hit the spot. It seems like everyone knows your name. They were steadily busy and these are the regulars.

This is a mom and pop restaurant and it's a gem!! It's best to go in person and place an order because they're very busy. The food Amazon! I had rice, beans, Al pastor taco and carnitas taco. I also eat the red and the green sauce. Green sauce is very spicy but tastes so good. Don't let the location discourage you. This is a true authentic Mexican restaurant t. They don't use canned beans, they make them from scratch!

Hate they no longer serve lengua :( and there's not much space if you plan to eat in. I ordered three tacos: chorizo, al pastor, carnitas. Carnitas are AMAZING!

I drove 25 minutes to Allegra as I heard great things about their food I arrived almost 20 minutes before they were supposed to close and the doors were locked and the lights were off. They lost a customer that was dying to try their food Just dumb

One of the best tacos I have ever had. Better than the one's in Mexico. This is a hole in the wall with only two seats but that's ok. When I am in the area I always stop here.

The best hole-in-the-wall spot for authentic tacos! If you're looking for a no frills, straight to the point taco joint, then you're in luck. Alegria Tacos has a plethora of options and still somehow remains true to their roots. We came in for the first time and noticed how small it was inside. But it's the true definition of: small, but mighty. We snagged one of the three tables inside and enjoyed our tacos while noticing a steady flow of customers coming in and our; either take out, dining in or picking up. This place is doing really good business and I know why! The food is delicious! I had 4 tacos: steak, Al pastor, chicken and veggie. I was a little over zealous ordering 4 because i was full after 2, but they were so good I couldn't stop eating them! My favorite was the steak. So much flavor! My boyfriend had the al pastor and carnitas tacos and the steak torta. He enjoyed the tacos more than the torta but I just think he was full too and didn't have space for the torta. It was huge! We took his other half home. Service is friendly and looks like the kitchen is family run listening to them interact and cook with each other. It's a very special place and I'm looking forward to coming back.

Food was delicious. Def should try. We tried steak , al pastro, carnita & chrorizo tacos. They were alll good. We also had a steak quesadilla which was also very good ! Small cozy restaurant. Very nice & friendly. They made sure we enjoyed the food. Loved it

Seriously the best Mexican food! The food is always so wonderful and the owner is like the Abuela I always wanted. They have limited hours so check before you go and it is worth the trip!

LETS TACO-BOUT IT. Yelped a taco spot while on a road trip that wasn't too far off of 95 and ended up here.... Not disappointed!!!! Got some al pastor tacos, a carnitas taco and a steak taco. So so so good! The tortillas are slightly crispy around the edges which make them so tasty. I also got a side of chips and salsa- the chips were fried hard, which I love! The salsas were both delicious (note- the green one is veryyy spicy!) They were only doing outdoor dining because of covid, but had a steady stream of takeout orders while we were there. Would definitely recommend !!

Whenever i come to this spot it is always hot and very good service. I came all the way from Virginia to try this place and it was worth the drive.

Not the ritz Carlton but the food sure is award worthy. I pigged out totally. I had carnitas torta, steak burrito and chicken quesadilla. All of it was fantastic. The ingredients were all fresh and made by one person. You can taste the love in her cooking. My wife and mother are Mexican and they absolutely love the food no matter how much they try to critique the place. Two bites and they were convinced. I absolutely love the fact that if a homeless person walks up for food that they will meet them outside and take their order and treat them like a human being. The food, the people, the humility and grace they showed and again the food make this my new go to spot for Mexican food in the area. Go there enjoy yourself, chat with the gracious young man taking orders and thank me later.

First time customer and the rice had some kind of dirt, grit, or sand. Almost the exact sensation of when you bite into clam chowder and chew little bits of sand. I had to spit it out. This photo shows what I bit into. Absolutely disgusting. The sand or dirt was scattered all throughout the rice. I don't think I am not eating here ever again. The food here didn't even taste authentic. I've noticed a lot of Yelpers like to hype reviews out here in Florida. I was disappointed after I had a poor experience when people swore in their reviews that this place as "the best tacos in town". If I didn't account the multiple specks of dirt that was scattered throughout my rice, I would give the food a solid 3 stars for taste alone. I don't like to give restaurants harsh reviews, but that dirt in the rice was almost unforgivable. I hope you guys double check to wash your rice.

the food was delicious and had flavor with every bite and they even consider the food that falls out the taco so they give you a fork to eat that

BEST TACOS in town. I am a sucker for the chorizo tacos and their rice and beans. Recently I decided to have a lunch date with my daughter and it truly did not disappoint.

Hands down one of our go to places for authentic food. It may be a small place but they pack a lot of flavor into their food. They always greet me with a smile and the service is quick. When we don't feel like cooking we will hit this place up for take out.

Quintessential mom & pop dive spot but oh so good. Although it's on a corner of a busy street, if you blink you'll miss it. It's a really cozy place with two small tables inside and two outside. Parking is extremely limited on the side of the building but worth the stop. Hearty authentic Mexican eats that'll have you moaning, ummmmm. From the yummy corn tortillas to the perfectly seasoned fillings and the fresh toppings all incredibly delicious. I ordered the three tacos lunch special. For my fillings I ordered one of each protein (chicken, pork & steak), all were on point. Must try spot!

I went to this place due to the positive Yelp reviews. I was expecting to get a lunch special, but instead of $8.50, it was $16.95!!! The Mexican cokes are $4.99!!! I could've had two lunches at my go-to place for that price. The carnitas had no flavor, the rice and beans were even tasteless. There are 2 tables in the place, so to-go might be a better option. However, everything is served in styrofoam and is edible, but not good. The owner was friendly and nice, but that was very pricey for what it was. When she asked how I liked it, I told her that it wasn't very good. She said that she will talk to her cook and next time it'll be better. There won't be a next time for me. I ended up giving my uneaten food to a beggar outside. First time shame on you, second time shame on me! Awful!!

It's a small place but the tacos are really good and have plenty of protein and fixings. The service is excellent, very friendly ladies.

Possibly the best Mexican food in Florida. Low on ambience as a little hole in the wall, but man this is good food. The service is always with a warm smile. This little taco stand is tiny, and looks a little derelict from the outside. A couple of the letters on the Alegria sign look a little crooked and less than happy. Ignore the tiny interior and slightly tattered exterior...the food at this place rocks. Fish tacos are always my acid test for Mexican food and theirs are fantastic. Simply prepared but incredibly fresh, these tasted like they might have been alive and swimming ten minutes before. The closest I have ever seen to this were fish tacos actually made on the beach in Cozumel, with fish just caught in the Gulf. Burritos are off the charts too. It can be a little hard to find, we drove past twice. It's half a storefront on a busy stretch of Andrews Avenue. Park in the small shopping plaza next door (there are TWO parking spaces in front of Alegria, hehe). The staffers here are uniformly sweet and friendly. It helps to speak Spanish, especially if you're customizing from something on the menu. Oh, and to add a little cool authenticity, pretty well everything comes in those compartmentalized styrofoam boxes. In short, I love this place. Recommended, big time.

I happened to stumble upon this place while being at my friends house and boy am I glad that I did. The spot is in a small little shopping center or plaza, and it's in a small location. I only gave it four stars because there's not much seating area so I had to eat my tacos in my car. But other than that, the tacos that I ordered were amazing and so delicious. They were ordered fresh and out by no more than six minutes wait if any. I ordered the Al Pastore taco and also the carne asada tacos and both were phenomenal. The tortilla was a Mexican corn tortilla and it was golden and crisp and they packed a lot of flavor. The hot sauce was definitely spicy if that's your thing. I'll definitely come back to enjoy more tacos while in the area.

This place is amazing!!!! Awesome fresh, homemade Mexican food!! Small but the best in town.

The best tacos in this town. Friendly family, delicious food. It's my fav restaurant for Mexican food. Thank you

An absolute gem! Seriously the best and most authentic street tacos around. Great service! A little hole in the wall which reminds me of the San Diego taco shops.

Great tacos but last time I tried to call for a take out order the lady put the phone down to take someone elses order and just kind of forgot about the phone :(

Their food is insane. Best Mexican food I've ever tried quite possibly. Fish tacos and beans and cheese burrito is what I ordered

Blown away by the tacos here! Safe to say the best tacos in town. Not a lot of seating and it's in a plaza so this is the perfect place to grab and go. The service is fast and friendly. I have now recommended this place to several friends and they all have amazing things to say about Algeria tacos as well. My only regret is not discovering this hole in the wall sooner!

Omg what a find. Someone (milamunchies) posted this on Instagram and it looked so perfect for lunch that I immediately got up and went. I got three tacos for ten bucks. It comes with two heated soft corn tortillas that are perfectly crisped to be a little crunchy and have the right amount of bite. I'm usually a hard shell taco girl so was very impressed with the texture of these. It came with onions, tomato and cilantro and choice of mild or hot salsa. They did have lunch specials but I didn't feel like rice and beans so just went with the solo tacos! It is literally takeout only - I walked in to order and had my food no more than 5 min later. Very fast. Definitely no frills but a solid taco. Will be back to maybe try more things on the menu but prob just end up getting more tacos!

Amazing tacos and food! Cooked on the spot, so you know it's fresh. Don't be swayed about the location, you won't regret the taste of these tacos!!

This is a cute mom and pop place that mostly caters to take-out though there are two small tables inside and outside. The owners are so kind and really care about the customers. They are very kind and easy to talk to. Most importantly the care about serving delicious food. The tacos Al pastor is the best you can get in south Florida. Absolutely delicious. There salsas are great and refreshing.

10/10 best tacos i've ever had. a little on the expensive side but 100% worth it... tried a million taco places and this is hands downs the best i ever ever had.

My niece was in town from Orlando and we went to Fort Lauderdale with the intent of going to beach but than the craving for street tacos came on and of course I went to my yelp search bar. Lol Two places with great reviews came in, which was this place and Quates Mexican Restaurant which are literally across from each other on opposing corners. We knew that we were going to be in that area again the following day and decided to try both places and back to back fresh reviews. We went to Alegria tacos first on Friday. First off the parking lot is almost non existent and DO NOT park in the shopping plaza next to the restaurant. You will be towed apparently. The parking for this restaurant is on the side by the street and it is limited. It looks like this building used to be an apartment complex at one time which explains the limited parking spaces. The restaurant is very very small inside. One booth and three two seater tables with a soda vending machine inside the dining area. The server was very nice and accommodating and explained everything and made sure the orders were correct. I could tell she was from out west because I am originally from Utah and we do have accents. Apparently the family is retired military from California and Mexican! Which made me very happy because Mexican food from the West is very different than from here. We ordered steak and chicken tacos and a tamale and a bean burrito along with bottled Mexican Coca Colas! The corn tortillas were grilled perfectly and the chicken and steak were diced and shredded nice so that when you take a bite you don't have a gigantic piece of meat in your mouth. The lime was fresh as well as the pico. The retried bean were very good as well and fresh. The rice was good but ok. Needed more taste. The salsa's were a green and red ( home made) they were tasty but I have had better. The Coca Cola bottle was large and cold! Loved it. The tamale was just ok for me. Not a lot of meat inside and really no flavor but tamales always come out different. The tacos are what makes this place without a doubt. My son loved his burrito, pretty large portion. I will definitely come again.

The restaurant was closed. I came here to have lunch but upon arriving I found that they were on vacation apparently. Maybe I will try again some other time.

This has ALWAYS been my go to for the absolute best tacos. Stopped in today, and well, they will no longer allow dining in what was once a two booth, two table "dining room"....so had to eat at one of the two, two person tables outside, barely covered by awnings, with one table quite wet from the rain...disappointing for sure, and I'm not sure how acceptable this arrangement will be for those who would like a little respite from the rain, or worse, sweltering heat while enjoying their tacos. Now, on to the food: as I stated, their tacos to me have been the absolute BEST...have eaten here dozens of times, and the food quality has without fail, never disappointed in any way...until today: got three chicken tacos which looked as they always do, superb...oh so lightly crisped soft corn tortillas, and plenty of somewhat finely chopped griddled chicken with ample amounts of cilantro and onions, with three limes on the side, along with their truly stellar hot sauce...check, check, check, check, check, and check...only problem was they had a little bit of an off flavor, as though--perhaps--a cooking utensil used on the chicken had been also used to cook fish...not overpowering enough to condemn the whole meal, just slightly off. Based upon all of my dozens of previous absolutely stellarexperiences, I have to conclude this was just a slip up owing to inattention, and I do not expect it will be repeated, and I will definitely be back...one disappointing experience cannot cancel out the dozens of prior stellar experiences, but it prompted me to withhold that fifth star...but I suspect that I will be inclined to add that back after my next trip (though I do not at all like the either "take-out" or "outside in the weather" dining options.)

Yum!! Fresh authentic Mexican tacos. Very flavorful. Little to go joint. Not eat in. It was right near where we were staying in Oakland park. Our food was ready quickly we called ahead. I got the al pastor tacos and my boyfriend had chorizo tacos. The beans and rice that came with our meal was very good and filled us up. We ordered during lunch time so we opted for the lunch special, if you get al pastor meat they up charge you but I didn't mind because it was very good. Very fresh!

Decided to try this place today i didn't know what to expect. Welp they were the best tacos i ever had and the service was the best. It's worth the price and it's made to order. Definitely will be returning definitely will tell people to come here. Very nice people running this place. They deserve the best!
