"Taquerias El Mexicano, a Little Havana fixture since 1985, reopened earlier this year after a multi-year closure, bringing its popular Mexican fare and bright dining room back to the neighborhood. The menu features all the favorites, with various tacos, enchiladas, and other traditional Mexican dishes in a casual, family-friendly setting. After your meal, head to the ‘hidden’ speakeasy Los Altos for a nightcap." - Amber Love Bond

"A Little Havana staple for nearly 40 years, Taquerias El Mexicano, shuttered a few years ago and, after a long battle with the city, finally reopened its doors at the start of 2024. Keeping true to its roots, this menu is filled with tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and more. Opt for the combo plates to experience a little bit of everything — and then head upstairs to Los Altos, the restaurant’s mezcal-fueled speakeasy." - Eater Staff

"Don't call it a comeback — but this Miami taco staple is finally back in Miami after a years long fight with the city of Miami. On the menu are plenty of the taco favorites including al pastor, barbacoa, and fish varietals, served in a bright family-friendly setting." - Olee Fowler
