    Just had a killer dinner at Bakan!! Super atmosphere, great food and drinks and awesome service (Thank You Kevin!!). Highly recommend!!

    This was the first stop in my totally unplanned Sunday Funday and I had zero regret! It was my first time having the food and I enjoyed every minute! We sat at the bar since there isn't a bad seat in the place with such a nice aesthetic. The bartender was friendly and helpful with explaining the menu. My son in law had the vegan bowl, my daughter the shrimp tacos, and I had the oxtail tacos. Everything was a 10/10! My daughter and I swapped a taco and ended up getting another order of the shrimp to share. They were my fav. For my drink I had Hugo spritz. Couldn't go wrong there. I'll for sure be back for those tacos!

    The vibe is immaculate. If the weather is even remotely nice, do yourself a favor and sit outside. It honestly feels like you are being transported to Tulum. The food? Shockingly not overpriced for how legit it is. Start with the guacamole its a non-negotiable. It sets the tone and lets you know you're in very capable hands. My partner and I are still thinking about the Sera Melon cocktail. Honestly, it stole the show. Refreshing, balanced, and dangerously drinkable. I dropped my Classic Margarita and the staff graciously swooped in with a replacement. Zero judgment, only kindness. We ordered a couple of mole dishes, and wow deep, rich, authentic flavors that taste like someone's abuela is quietly running the kitchen in the best way possible. One of my favorite Wynwood spots hands down, and yes, I will absolutely be back. Also great for people watching lol.

    This place is great if you're looking for good Mexican food in Miami! I've eaten both inside and outside. The outdoor seating is great when the weather permits. Service was great but nothing that is overtly exceptional. They have an extensive collection of tequila and mezcal for those seeking a restaurant with such options. Their queso is excellent but this time I did the los esquites (corn) which was fresh and delicious. For entree I had the mole verde. The mole had a great flavor and the sea bass was perfectly flaky with a good sear. Their tortillas are freshly made and fantastic. The table gets two salsas, one more mild (red) and the other more spicy (green). I enjoy the heat and the green salsa was phenomenal. I also tried the duck enchiladas. The flavor was good but I'm not sure I could have told you it was duck or not. Overall a great spot to visit and highly recommend if you're hankering for Mexican food.

    Chicken Quesadilla

    Came to Bakan for dinner and was seated right away. We sat outside and it was a beautiful night with perfect weather, which made the whole vibe even better. The ambiance here is really nice and has that fun, lively Wynwood energy. We ordered the chicken quesadilla, which actually comes more like three tacos, and they were so good. We also got the short rib tacos and those were amazing too. Everything was flavorful, and well-seasoned. Overall, a great dinner spot with good food and a really nice atmosphere. I would definitely return.

    Absolutely fantastic! This restaurant has it all, delicious food, excellent service and a great ambiance! One of the best grilled octopus I had eaten in a long time, perfectly cooked. The cocktails are amazing, full of taste and flavors. The bar attenders are fantastic! The service is top notch, restaurant manager Francisco and his team do great job at making you feel welcomed and provided excellent recommendations. Definitely give this restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy every bite, every sip!

    Get the ribeye on cherry grill with all the fixings it's like fajitas but 10,000 better and then get the melon margarita. Steak was cooked perfectly! Salsas are amazing it was perfect for 2 to share! Beautiful patio and lovely bar. Server was amazing excellent service fast, clean and great experience.

    Great wine
    Rick K.

    From the moment you walk in, this restaurant makes you feel welcome. The service is truly exceptional--attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. You can tell the team takes pride in what they do. The food is outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly made with high-quality ingredients and great attention to detail. Each bite reflected consistency, care, and culinary excellence. The ambience ties everything together perfectly--elegant, comfortable, and inviting. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a relaxed evening, celebrate a special occasion, or simply unwind with great food and company. Overall, this restaurant delivers on service, food, and atmosphere at the highest level. Highly recommended, and definitely a place I'll be returning to again and again.

    Short Rib tacos, one shredded chicken taco
    Meghan T.

    Bakan is a fun, modern restaurant in Wynwood. It's a great place to take a break from the heat with some delicious food. Our server started us off with salsa and chips. The green salsa, which is certainly house-made, was phenomenal. It was a bit spicy, but the flavor was incredible. I ordered a three taco plate which came with beans and a little slaw. I got two short rib tacos and one shredded chicken taco that was off the menu. The short rib tacos blew me away. The meat was so flavorful and perfectly braised. The corn tortilla was beautifully fresh and, with a squeeze of lime juice, these tacos were heavenly. The shredded chicken taco was also good but less unique overall. The plate was a bit pricey for $20++, but honestly really enjoyed the meal. All of the staff were very polite and the aesthetic of the restaurant was very cool.

    Bakan for Bro-Time as well as brunch, dates, dinner, and birthday surprises!
    Nick Q.

    Uplifting hop ambiance, phenomenal service, delicious well thought out menu, drinks you'll order more of, and space for your bro's girlfriend's birthday surprise party! The staff there went out of their way to make sure we had an amazing party and the privacy we needed. Woooow! This doesn't happen anywhere in Wynwood. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Get the guac or ceviche for the table. The tacos and main dishes are all delicious! Definitely come and experience Bakan for yourself for any occasion!

    The cutest spot! Part outdoor, part indoor - totally embodies the tulum vibes. Most of the menu is pretty gluten free (not the mole sauce!) but the blue corn tortillas areeeee Gosh the menu is so cute and has suggested pairings for drinks and the wait staff are very kind and break down the menu for you. Food is delicious and tastes so different - very unique. The prices are reasonable and portions are fair. Come for the mezcal!!!! That's all. Enjoy

    Busy place in Miami FL with outdoor seating to people watch & enjoy the weather. Their margaritas are great tasting but I prefer the simple tequila agave & lime. We started w guacamole that has spicy green & red sauce. They use blue corn tortillas for everything. We enjoyed it. I ordered 3 pulled chicken enchiladas that were uniquely made with mole negro, goat cheese & sesame seeds. Nice flavors! My hubby ordered meat n cheese thinking it would be like charcuterie but it was served hot! He enjoyed it.

    Grasshopper taco
    Catalina C.

    Such a fun, colorful, delicious experience! Parking: street parking or near by garages but they will require a little bit of walking Ambiance: the outdoor seating area makes you feel like you are in a tropical rainforest, the inside of the restaurant is much cooler but also carries a fun tropical vibe Food & Beverage: the drinks are so fun! My friends ordered the watermelon margarita and everyone loved it! (A little on the sweet side) the mango one was to die for as well. They served it in the clay looking glasses something. I ordered the verde cilantro drink, did not love it. The apps were fantastic - we tried the grasshopper tacos for the table! I feel like it's a must if you come to this place. If you are looking for something on the lighter fare the shrimp lettuce wraps were the best. For dessert the churros and the flan are must order. For a large party: the server was very attentive and did a great job of keeping up with everyone's orders and check split. Will definitely be back!

    See all

    They are probably super busy. The Weekend tourist are already there.

    We went during the week and they open at noon daily. There's no special brunch menu that I'm aware.

We went here between January 27 & February 6/2026. La Potranca has five Florida locations, but this cantina does not feel like a chain. Authentic sabor Mexicano with an excellent friendly staff. Family friendly & handi-able accesible from the parking lot. This location gets full by 7pm but there is extended service & seating in the common covered courtyard. Plenty of parking in this strip mall location. Service is excellent, fast, & great choices of tacos & drinks. You can choose from 14 different meats/cuts for your tacos, including birria & al pastor. Bow to the taco! Also gringas, vampiros, & burritos. They have bowls (they're BIG) & brunch. p.s. try the churros with 3 dipping sauces. Drinks are extra special here. The clamato & beer cocktail is very unique. Served in a Tajin rimmed large mug, with lime & a tamarind wrapped straw. Excellante! Also a variety of margaritas served in whimsical glasses & their three house cervazas (beers) on draft. La Potranca pays homage to iconic singer & actor Vincente Fernandez "King of Ranchera". Check out the interesting connection with the staff or online. The staff here is excellent. Very helpful when navigating the menu. Very friendly. True professionals. Special shout out to Mauricio & Ralphael - you hombres make this place truly special. Mucho Gracias. We give La Potranca our highest recommendation. Closed Mon, Open: Tue, Wed, Thu, & Sun 10am-11pm, Thu & Fri 10am-1am. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY, USA

Each table has bottles of their homemade salsa sauce- about 8 of them! It is always fun to try the different types with the complimentary chips. I always sit at the bar, and the bartenders are awesome. Friendly, funny, knowledgable and attentive. Every time I have come here, it has been BUSY and yet I never want for service. I always get my favorite tacos- al pastor. If you want extra pineapple, they will provide without extra charge. Pork is always cooked perfectly and arrive piping hot. My only gripe is that the size is on the small side. Probably the size of my palm (and my hands aren't big). For the drinks, they arrive in interesting vessels- like the butt mooning me one with the tajin on the cheeks! LOVE their margaritas. Good balance of sweet, sour and tequila. They also have specials each day of the week. This is a great establishment.

The hardest part about dining here was deciding what I wanted to order. I could have ordered the entire menu it looked so good! Helpful tip... check out the menu and know what you're going to order before you get in line. Otherwise you're going to be pressured to order at the front of the line. When you walk in, you place your order and pay for it and take a table number. You need to find your own table. Our service was pretty quick, despite how busy the restaurant was. My cold brew was very good and a nice start to the meal. Our guacamole came next and it was nicely styled with pomegranate, cheese and cilantro on top. Yum! The real star of the show for me was this unassuming looking House Club Sandwich that was to die for. Seriously ... it was so good. I ordered mine without the ham, and it was divine! I wish i lived closer. I'm already dreaming of coming back. My son ordered some kind of short rib/beef burrito and it disappeared so quickly I didn't even get to snap a photo. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a great meal, I highly recommend it. One thing I can say is that it's on the pricey side. $113 lunch for 2 added up super fast but it was well worth it. I'll be dreaming of that sandwich til my next visit!

I ordered the mahi mahi tacos, and while they tasted ok, the portion size felt pretty small for the price. Overall, it came across as a bit overpriced for what you get. The service style is more casual and self-directed. You order and pay at the register, get a number, and then find your own seat while they bring the food out to you. Water is self-serve, and once you're done with your meal, you just head out. There's minimal interaction with staff, which might appeal to people who prefer a more low-key, independent dining experience or want a place to sit and work without being interrupted. That said, the service did not feel very friendly or welcoming. And personally, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

My order was a very generous plate of chicken fajitas, with red refried beans and grilled veggies.

Having stayed till closing of two music week events the prior to evenings, this was in my mind a great recovery meal. Despite the name, this restaurant is not just Mexican, but actually fusion with Uruguayan cuisine. The main courses focused on that area, and the tacos had a lot of exotica such as ear and tongue. Given my preferences, and my stomach, the only basic options that I would get were there Al Pastor and chicken tacos, five dollars each. The menu said that they had alcohol, but apparently not on that week, supposedly for some bureaucratic issue. The tacos were served with just the tortilla and the meat, along with a basket of fixings, such as cilantro and line. No complaints of the food really, the tacos were actually well seasoned and for my taste buds made even better with the hot sauce that left a yummy after burn. When I went to the bathroom, the handle on the door was damaged. Besides that, in the end I was not feeling the place especially that there was a mandatory gratuity.
