The Wolf Of Tacos

We tried the Wolf of Tacos at the Brightline food court. The service was amazing and the food was excellent. If you are used to west coast tacos on any level you will not be disappointed. Corn, not flour mini tortillas with homemade salsas. While one taco is $7+ dollars it is actually 2 tacos big. The staff was very friendly. A nice touch for the train station.

The tacos are definitely not from Taco Bell... the Aquiles are soooo good. We've been to lots of street taco places but never had wagyu beef tendons with chicharron... to die for! This place slice the lengua after it's been braised for 24 hours. They do special combination on Tuesdays. The food was top rate. The atmosphere is a train station food court so don't expect fancy seating but it's clean & service is very friendly and clean.

So apparently this place is called The Wolf of Tacos… but after eating here, I think they meant The Wolf of Meat-in-a-Tortilla. I kept seeing them all over Instagram, so I figured I’d give it a shot during lunch. Big mistake. These were hands down some of the worst tacos I’ve had — zero flavor, no effort, just meat tossed into a tortilla like they were in a rush to clock out. Thanks to the salsa bar they have save the day but just to give a little of flavor so If you’re drunk at 3 a.m. and desperate, maybe these tacos could pass as food. But in the cold light of day? Nope. All hype, no bite.

I was at the Wolf of Tacos for Taco Tuesday and what a great experience was. At first, I was a bit skeptical because it is located within a food hall and on top of that , in a train station. Most of the food halls in Miami, in my opinion, have no success, that was the reason I was on the fence on whether to come for some tacos. But here it was Taco Tuesday and I decided to give them a chance. It always the best decision I could have taken. Their menu is kind of limited, which I like. Not always more means better. I had their pollo asado, costilla and al pastor tacos. One was better than the other one, even the chicken which is sort of controversial when it comes to tacos because it is usually dry. This one was not dry at all and nicely seasoned. My favorite one was the wagyu costilla, which was like a thin steak. It melt in my mouth, so soft and a lot of flavors. The place was packed and the service a bit slow but they were super friendly. Ambiance is beautiful, the entire food hall is. Can’t wait for the next taco Tuesday!

I really hope that the cooks can understand. I ordered steak, suadero, and pastor, and my partner ordered another three to dine in, so we got our order in to-go containers. I really wanted to eat my tacos from a plate with the paper at the bottom. Then we had some trouble trying to find out who ordered what; both orders were mixed. Green sauce, made with raw green tomatillos, was so flat and plain. The red sauce was even worse, with a lot of heat and no flavor, just árbol chile, garlic, and vinegar. Those cheap, rushed sauces just killed my tacos. Then I realized that I ignored a big red flag for a taqueria: Valentina sauce, not just yellow label, but black label too! After eating, I realized why they have supermarket sauce...

Finally, we got to try the Wolf of Tacos! Been following the IG and his food truck but haven't gotten the chance until today. He opened the first brick and mortar here...so we came to try. We ordered three of each: pollo asada, Al pastor and suadero. Good portions and good flavors. I appreciate the salaa bar where you can get your sauces and pickled veggies.. yum! My favorite taco was the Suadero, which features confit that was both tender, fatty, and crunchy. The only feedback I have is to add double tortillas as some of the tacosfell apart. Aside from that, great customer friendly service. We will be back.

This taco spot is tucked inside the Brightline train station—definitely not where I expected to be having lunch. I ordered the carne asada tacos, but they fell a bit flat in flavor. The tortillas were dry and slightly crunchy, almost stale tasting!! which didn’t do the filling any favors. I also prefer steak sliced for tacos; the cubed pieces kept tumbling out, making each bite a bit of a balancing act. Did I finish them? Of course—because we don’t waste—but I wouldn’t rush back unless they upgrade the tortillas or relocate. And one more thing: chips and salsa, or at least some guac, should be non-negotiable. Tacos deserve friends!! Also pretty expensive for these small tacos lol

I’m from Guanajuato, Mexico. I moved to Miami a year ago and have been trying to find other Mexicans and good tacos. Being from Mexico, my expectations are very high when it comes to Mexican food and this place did not disappoint! The costilla tacos are SOO fire! Mexican approved!!!
