"There are two Taqueria Morelias: one in Homestead and another in Florida City. Both are great for tacos, especially their asada. It’s rich, savory, and meaty. And while tacos are what Morelia is known for, you should also try their chicken enchiladas and alambres. Plus, there’s a little condiment bar where you can add your own salsa, onions, and accouterments to whatever you get. But be very careful with those salsas—they burn so hot you could probably use them to get to the moon." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"There are two Taqueria Morelias—one in Homestead and another in Florida City, which is just five minutes away and the better choice for tacos. This one is next to a gas station, and the best taco here is the savory asada. The al pastor is great too, but the tripe taco is a bit too tough (for a better tripe taco, head to La Pasadita). But even if you're not in a taco mood, come here for the delicious alambre. There’s a little condiment bar where you can add your own salsa, onions, and accouterment. But be very careful with those salsas—they burn so hot you could probably use them to get to the moon." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"Nestled within a Homestead gas station, this unassuming Mexican restaurant boasts tacos worth the journey, adorned with toppings such as avocado and pineapple." - Olee Fowler
"There are two locations of this excellent Mexican spot: Homestead and Florida City. While the Homestead location is larger (in case you're with a big crew), the Florida City location is our favorite. Tacos are the main attraction here, but the alambres are a must-order too. The combination of carne asada, chorizo, bacon, onions, and peppers under a blanket of melted cheese can make you forget all about fuel prices. Scooped onto one of Morelia’s excellent corn or flour tortillas, it’s everything we love about fajitas, nachos, fondue, and loaded fries all rolled into one." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"There are two locations of this excellent Mexican spot: Homestead and Florida City. While the Homestead location is larger (in case your day trip involves a big crew), the Florida City location is conveniently right down the street from Robert Is Here. Tacos are the main attraction here, but the alambres are why we’d gladly drain our gas tanks to eat here. The combination of carne asada, chorizo, bacon, onions, and peppers under a blanket of melted cheese can make you forget all about fuel prices.
