We listened to the previous reviews and agree! Best tacos in south beach. Got the birria and al pastor. Chips and salsa and elote en vaso. Todo rico. service was excellent as well! read more

I was craving birria tacos, and this place did not disappoint! I'm born and raised in Southern CA, so my Mexican food expectations are super high. I ordered the tacos with added cheese and it elevated the dish. I thought it was quite pricy for only three tacos, but thankfully they were packed with birria, cheese, cilantro, and onion. The tacos came with a green salsa, lime, and consomé. The salsa had a nice kick to it but honestly wasn't needed with how flavorful and rich the tacos/consomé were. Just a heads up that there's very limited seating inside. read more

We came back around 10:30 PM, and this was one of the few places open until midnight, so we decided to stop by. It's a casual, to-go spot. I ordered the al pastor burritos, which were just okay. They lacked flavor, and the pork was a bit dry for my liking. Overall, it was a decent, filling meal but nothing particularly memorable. read more

Honestly, didn't like this place. $20 burrito and it didn't look great plus fell apart to pieces before I was even able to put it in my mouth. Their guac is a pretty tiny portion and is overpriced for that matter. read more

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant - Birria burrito - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is a rare and hidden gem. The authentic quality of the food makes it feel as though you are being transported all the way to Mexico. The ambiance is vibrant and chill. There are no chairs, so if you choose to eat inside they have a high-bar table where you can eat your food standing up. Warm and welcoming service, with a chef can get down in the kitchen! I ordered a shrimp burrito that truly rocked my world! Bold and delicious flavors, the beans and rice were seasoned and cooked with a nice mesquite flavor! I also love that the salsa verde had a spicy kick to it. The food was so delicious that I gobbled it up like the big bad wolf & unfortunately did not take any pictures LOL. Cheers to good eats! read more

whatever server was there Monday morning was extremely rude, basically yelled at us to scan the QR code for a menu, the website wasn't working, so we asked her for a menu and she just stared at us like if we were dumb. We walked out horrible way to treat customers. read more

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant - Birria Burrito - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Quite possibly the worst chicken burrito I've ever had was from here . Super wet , salty and the ingredients didn't mesh well at all . Individually , the ingredients weren't very good either . I ended up forcing myself to eat half , as I planned to do a long walk and needed the calories . Fortunately , I was able to try their Birria tacos and those were an infinitely better experience . Those are definitely worthy of being ordered again . This restaurant has 0 seating , so you have to stand and eat at the counter which didn't add to the experience . Not sure I'd return as there are so many solid restaurants around that offer similar meals with seating . read more

This place is great to visit before or after the beach. I got the nachos with chicken and they were super flavorful and really fresh.

I would definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for some good Mexican food. read more

These Tacos were good, I had the carnitas, while they were tasty I would probably go with barria or al pastor next time as I was jealous of the people next to me that ordered those. That being said I would also happily eat the carnitas again. More of a typical taco stand /Walkup not a restaurant but is a nice little spot to stop on the way to /from the beach for a quick tasty snack. read more

I got the Birria brisket tacos for $18.50 and they were so flavor and delicious. A bit spicy. The service was quick and polite. There's no where to sit but we stood at the counter and ate without a problem. Spent $42 on two people so can get pricey depending on what you order. Would definitely come back here again! read more

Probably the best taco joint in South Beach. This place is a the size of a closet. Just an order counter with a kitchen and no seating except for bar stools. Still, locals and tourists flock to this tiny taco shop. And it's not even on the main road. Why? Because the tacos are that good. Established in 2018, this husband and wife team has been serving the beach tasty tacos and anything birria. The Birria Pizza is a must. So cheesy and flavorful. And don't forget the Brisket Nachos. Both items are perfect for sharing. For those who like seafood, I suggest the Shrimp Birria Tacos. Love this place, or I guess its a hole in the wall serving authentic street food. Its super small but the food is big on flavor! read more

Nicole took our order and she was great and friendly! We stumbled upon this hole in the wall Mexican place and it didn't disappoint. We ordered birria burrito which my son devoured, my husband and I each got the birria shrimp tacos and normally I never finish my food and kid you not 1 order came with 4 tacos and I ate it all up! It was so good! The consome had a lot of flavor! Only thing is don't expect to get seated since they only had counters and you'd have to stand while eating your food! But food was so good you wouldn't need to stand long anyway! read more

AVOID THIS RESTAURANT at all costs. We ordered Uber Eats for delivery this evening after craving Mexican food. Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant came up in the search engine. Our choices included Al Pastor Tacos and Elote en Vaso. Please trust me when I tell you the pork in the tacos was the worst quality we have ever experienced locally or internationally. More than 50% of the meat was either fat, gristle, or bone fragment and completely inedible. We have a photo to substantiate. Dulce Vida is an extreme disappointment in a vibrant culinary landscape. The owners/staff clearly have no pride in their product and quality control is completely lacking. Hungry in SOBE! read more

Birria tacos here were great - the consomme was delicious and not too oily / heavy. Cheese and meat were solid, but I do wish the tortillas were crispier. It's really all about the consomme and their salsa verde. read more

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant - 4 Birria Tacos! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

It's not the best Mexican food but by Miami standards it's also not the worst. It filled me up and tasted decent. It is overpriced, however, for a place that's carryout only and a burrito that was mostly rice. I had a bean burrito and the beans were pretty good. The chips they serve on the side were delicious and crunchy and a highlight of the meal. Burrito was poorly folded and hard to eat though, and went very heavy on the rice while skimping on the beans and leaving out the sour cream altogether. For a $15 burrito, I was pretty not stoked. Storefront is small. QR menu and order at the counter. There's one small counter where you could eat but it otherwise seems like the kinda place to grab and go. It'll do if you're really in a pinch, but there's better Mexican in Miami and on Miami Beach. read more

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The upsides of this place was that the service was good and the food itself looked very tasty. The downsides were the flavor, the prices, and no seating area. The flavors for the chicken tacos, birria burrito, and birria rice bowl were nothing special. It was all very underwhelming and average. To pay $14.75 for chicken tacos, $18.50 for the birria burrito, and $18.50 for the birria rice bowl for average tasting food (all plus tax) was disappointing. There were also no chairs inside to eat. Pretty much a takeout-only spot unless you want to eat standing up. read more

We was so excited to try this taco spot . They are known for their birria pizza and I can tell you it was flavorful and so cheesy. The cheese they use is so gooey. We also tried they shrimp taco it's also good , the sauce they put on it made it even better. We love horchata so we definitely got that with some lemonade they wasnt too sweet it was perfect. The staff? So chill and friendly. No doubt we're coming back for more. So if you ever hit up Miami Beach, make this spot a must-visit! read more

All counters, no barstools. Chips were stale and cost thru the roof. $5 for horchata "concentrate" x 2= $12 birra quesadilla & (3) chicken tacos and a side of quac was like $20+ served the guacamole with chips so there was not enough guacamole. Had to order "a side of cheese" for $5 that was about the size of Wendy's ketchup. Service was good but communication gap (obviously). Ambiance is a huge kitchen and a dining area for hunchback mice . If I win the lottery I will buy this place to close it down. In NOLA they would be out of business in a month - minus a few days. Stay in Miami, please! Sorry to escribe, pero es verdad. read more

Such a hidden gem in Miami beach. I think we found this by accident and let me just say it did not disappoint. It's not the type of place you go to sit and eat. It has standing table you can eat there or take it to go. Honestly the tacos are so good you wouldn't mind standing to eat because they'll be gone in 5 minutes. The Elote was delicious, the quesadilla was very much cheesy and the star of the show - the Birria tacos were one of the best I've had in Miami. The price is very reasonable for fresh authentic Mexican food. If you're ever in the area, must try! read more

Convenient location for a quick meal or snack from our hotel so we stopped by! The interior was bright and colorful - staff was friendly and got our orders pretty quickly. BIRRIA TACOS - 15 Comes with four beef brisket birria tacos! The taco shell was pretty crispy but also very greasy (the oil dripped everywhere). The meat to shell ratio was pretty sad and I felt like I had to sanction the meat so I could have a bit per bite. Without the salsa verde or birria dipping sauce, it was pretty bland. Overall, pretty OK with the sauce and lime juice but not worth the price given the small amount of meat we got per taco. Would recommend Dulce Vida for the convenience factor, but I'm sure you can find tacos for a better price elsewhere. read more

10 out of 10 on anything Birria Tacos. They are known for their birria and there is a reason for it. Living down the street makes it easy to walk to this little mom and pop shop.

Dulce Vida Mexican Restaurant - Pork tacos - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

I was craving authentic tacos and most places were charging $14-18 for TWO tacos. Also, a lot of them seemed touristy. I thought NY was expensive but south beach takes the cake. After scouring Yelp and Google for an hour. I landed on Dulce. One of the few places serving THREE tacos to an order. Plus the most reasonably priced. It's a small pace with a standup counter for those who want to dine in. Colorful, they have a bathroom and it was very clean. The cashier was nice though she didn't speak English very well. The cooks were moving fast and the wait wasn't that long to order or receive our food considering they were packed. I got the carnitas tacos, my mom got chicken tacos and we got chips with guacamole. The carnitas were okay. They needed to fry them on the flattop so they can get that crispy crust. Also wasn't as flavorful as the ones I've had in other states or Mexico. The chicken tacos were cool. Standard and hit the spot. The sad excuse they gave us for guac and chips is comical. We got our food to go because we didn't want to be cramped up in that small space. Had I checked I would've demanded more chips or choose to skip that. The salsa verde was weak. Overall if in Miami. I'd might try them again if I'm in the mood for tacos. Though there were mistakes based on reviews, pictures I've seen, and pricing. I don't believe I would've received better from the surrounding places. Probably have to leave south beach to get some banging Mexican food. read more

My sister and I needed to use up some time while we waited to get into the Artechouse close by and since we had not eaten, we stopped into Dulce Vida. We figured they would have vegetarian options and honestly all you have to do is ask and they'll find a way to make it vegetarian. I ended up getting the three tacos for $10. My sister got veggie taco salad and rice. Lemme just say...those tacos REALLY hit the spot especially with the spicy sauce that they give you on the side. Mmm they were soooo good! I'm kind of salivating thinking about it. I will also say that I've never had corn in my tacos before so that was different. Everything seemed to be seasoned really well except for the corn. The corn did have a slight grilled taste though so at least it wasn't raw corn. Nonetheless, dip those tacos in the sauces and nothing else really even matters. My mind was blown and my stomach was beyond full. The food was prepared really fast too. It was also nice that it wasn't directly on the main strip so you can just casually stand and eat while watching people pass by the window. It is standing room only and your can't sit. That's not because of covid restrictions. That's because the shop is kind of small and they probably don't have enough room for people to linger. Will definitely eat here again if I'm in Miami. read more

Honestly, I've been to many taco spots but never truly enjoyed a place like this. My gf and I ordered the birria brisket tacos. I've never had birria before so I didn't know what to expect. We ordered our food with Nicole and she was very sweet. The birria tacos come 4 in a container with the consommé. The service was great and the ambiance was fun if you're looking for a fast quick best bite of your life in south beach! Let me tell you, I was blown away by all the fresh flavors and the juiciness of these tacos. I swear I woke up this morning thinking about them and I have to go back before my flight . We will be back Nicole!!!! read more

Oh my gosh their Birria is off the hook. Birria 101 per Wikipedia is " a meat stew or soup traditionally made from goat meat, but occasionally made from beef, lamb, mutton or chicken. The meat is marinated in an adobo made of vinegar, dried chiles, garlic, and herbs and spices (including cumin, bay leaves, and thyme) before being cooked in a broth" We opted for the brisket tacos, and they were beyond flavorful. Love the homemade tortilla and that the tacos had crispy edges. The guacamole and chips were perfect. And because we were shopping hungry, we also got the Birria pizza and it was cheesy, meaty deliciousness. I'd give an edge to the tacos though. No real dine in options other than counters but perfect to go. read more

I know about this place through somebody on Instagram, then decided to check it out.

Was so excited to try this place. I am a vegetarian so usually Mexican is very friendly. I opted for no protein and my burrito came with steak. Also it was the smallest burrito I had ever seen. The "quesso" was like fake processed movie theater cheese. My mom said her chicken tacos were pathetic. We also got guacamole which was brown and sides of rice and beans. I had to order from another place since I could not est the burrito. Really upsetting. read more

Let me say I've tried a few birria tacos at some staple spots in Miami and they were my favorite, even though it's a little more pricey. Hey they're in South Beach what do you expect??? I'm just saying. They offered 4 tacos while most places only provide 3, which is nice. The portion size was generous. The consome sauce was perfect. I just wish it had a few chucks of meat in it. The tacos had a good combined portion of meat and cheese. Most places either don't have enough meat or too much cheese and etc. Their tacos interior was well balanced. I also purchased the carne asada burrito. It wasn't dry. It had a good portion of cheese and meat. The burrito was not soggy. They provide green salsa for both dishes and they weren't too spicy but had a well balanced kick. Just wished they gave a small cup of pico de gallo with the meal. I will be ordering from them. read more

Dulce vida is a hole in the wall birria restaurant. It doesn't have indoor seating so prepare for take out. They have so many different birria options. I got birria tacos and birria queso and it was $40. Very pricey but it is worth it. The tacos were amazing. The queso only came with a few chips but the queso itself was enough for multiple people. Very good read more
