1. Tacos El Carnal

This cash-only eatery is known for its authentic "tacos de lengua" (made with beef tongue), carnitas, al pastor, tostadas, tortas and burritos," per the specialties section of its Yelp profile. El Carnal is ideal for a casual friend date or a late-night taco run. The building may not impress at first sight, but the tacos will definitely impress your stomach—which is all that matters.

2. MAYAMI Mexicantina & Bar

Mexican eatery meets club night; that's Mayami. The restaurant offers unique Tulum-inspired Mexican dishes and original Mayan cocktails in stunning decor.

Talavera is a modern, well-designed restaurant that's been serving some of the best Mexican dishes in Miami for over a decade.
