Notable Picks
8.2
Opened in 2014 in a meticulously designed Art Deco space overlooking Brickell Key, this upscale cantina attempts to represent all 20 states of Mexico through an ambitious menu that swings between traditional preparations and avant-garde techniques like spherification. The taco gobernador and bone marrow marimba are the kitchen at its best, though reviews suggest execution can be uneven—particularly when the dining room is packed. Live mariachi on Wednesdays through Sundays adds genuine energy, and the tequila and mezcal collection ranks among Miami's deepest. Best suited for groups who want theatrical Mexican dining with a view, though be prepared for prices that match the setting.
Must-Try Dishes:
Taco Gobernador, Dobladitas de Jaiba Suave, Vuelve a la Vida Ceviche
What Makes it Special: Elevated Mexican cuisine featuring dishes from all 20 states of Mexico with avant-garde techniques like spherification and foam, plus one of Miami's largest tequila and mezcal collections.
Born as a 2016 pop-up and now a Brickell neighborhood fixture, this Cali-Mex joint has built a reputation on its Gardener's Margarita—a multiple-time winner of Miami's best margarita—and $3 happy hour street tacos. The Long Beach and Anaheim tacos satisfy without pretense, and the staff cultivates a genuinely welcoming regulars bar vibe that's rare in the neighborhood's glossier establishments. Dog-friendly weekend brunch with free pup ice cream seals the deal for the pet crowd. The food won't redefine tacos, and salsa options are pedestrian, but the value proposition and laid-back energy make it a reliable neighborhood hang when you want drinks that outshine the food.
Must-Try Dishes:
Long Beach Tacos, Anaheim Tacos, Cali Style Tacos
What Makes it Special: Award-winning Cali-Mex street tacos with original craft cocktails including Miami's best margarita, all in a laid-back neighborhood vibe.

Tacology
7.9
Established in 2016 as a mercado-style taqueria on the fourth floor of Brickell City Centre, Tacology sources its corn directly from Mexico to make 26 different tacos in-house. The birria and lobster tacos earn repeat visitors, though the iPad ordering system and auto-gratuity feel transactional rather than hospitable. It's loud, it's busy, and dishes arrive whenever they're ready—not necessarily together. Works well for a post-shopping pit stop with friends who don't need hand-holding, but don't expect a relaxed meal. The Taco Tuesday half-off deal makes it genuinely worthwhile on the right night.
Must-Try Dishes:
Taco de Birria, Lobster Taco, Queso Fundido con Huitlacoche
What Makes it Special: Mercado-style taqueria with 26 different tacos made from scratch using corn sourced directly from Mexico, all ordered via tablet at your table.
