I really wanted to like this place because I love the Miami location. Hands down the best taco spot in the city. But the Uptown 66 in Hallandale just doesn't compare. I'm not even sure if it's under the same ownership.
The quality of the food was way off. If this had been my first experience with Uptown 66, I honestly wouldn't come back. I'm definitely never coming back to this location.
At the Miami location, the birria tacos are always hot, flavorful, and come with that satisfying cheese pull. The ones I got here were bland, lukewarm, and disappointing.
I also ordered a burrito, and it was noticeably smaller than the Miami one. The steak pieces were tiny, and the potatoes were soft and mushy, which made the whole thing one note. In Miami, the burritos are bigger, the steak chunks are generous, and the potatoes are crispy everything just hits better there.
Not sure if the smaller portions are due to summer or something else, but this location feels like it's hurting the Uptown 66 name. I gave it three stars only because of how much I love the original spot. Should've been a one star review. Staff was friendly and drinks were solid, but unfortunately, the food didn't hold up.
