I never knew this place existed. It's tucked in between a street and is overshadowed by another (bigger) Mexican restaurant. The inside is small, but a much bigger outside covered area. Inside is wall seating w/ stools. Came here on a weekday for late lunch, it was empty inside, so parking was not an issue and I sat in front of a window. Staff was super friendly and you can hear them talk and laugh listening to music in the background...good vibes. I had the chilaquiles and my wife had their taco meal (3 tacos and rice/beans). Both were really good...I was very surprised. From the several other Mexican restaurants in Homestead, the food here is the best I've had here, which is why I gave it 5 stars. We tried the food with no sauces,l and confirmed it was good. The restaurant didn't use shredded cheese, fresh cheese (just the right amount). it's the best 30 dollar meal I've spent in a while. Bottom line, a must try for Mexican food spots.
Very delicious food and very affordable! The staff were lovely and made our food in less than 10mins. We stopped by to grab some lunch on our way to the Miami airport. I ordered 2 of the Barbacoa Sopes and my boyfriend ordered the Carnitas Burrito, which came with homemade chips. We were also given limes and 2 different hot sauces with our meals which were a wonderful addition. The food was super tasty and if I lived in the area I would definitely be back! I had never tried sopes before and was surprised how much I liked them. The portions were pretty big so I was full after just one. The flavors of the meat, beans, cheese, lettuce, and corn masa dough were so yummy. I would definitely recommend this spot! It's got something for everyone.
La comida muy rica y el servicio muy bueno, muy amables, pedimos fresa con leche y birria tacos y el sabor estaba súper rico y la carne muy suave me encantó, nos sentamos afuera y el ambiente muy acogedor
Excelente! Just what we needed to hit the spot for our Mexican food craving when we were in the area. Service was quick and very friendly. They brought us a tray with extra limes/cilantro/onions/lettuce. Food was tasty - would definitely revisit when in the area!
I loved their set up. It looks like an old home, yet inside it is a Mexican mini restaurant. We settled outside under their vast tiki hut. We ordered some tacos. They were ok but they did not blow my socks off. They were traditional no thrills Mexican style tacos.
Honestly, our waitress was the best thing going for this place. She was friendly, attentive, and she made our dining experience nice, but the food was underwhelming. I LOVE a good taco, I LOVE Mexican rice & beans. The tacos didn't have a lot of flavor, the shells were crumbly, the rice was ORANGE and mushy, and the beans were very sad. Joel was disappointed as soon as the food came out. He felt like they should serve more rice & beans with your order, but then didn't care for the taste as well. I really wanted to love this little taco joint, but unfortunately that didn't happen.
What a little gem! My boyfriend decided to get creative and look for top taco spots and this one came up. This place is very small inside but they do have an outdoor seating area that is much larger. While I was there I noticed a lot of customers were picking up. Our server was great, she spoke English and Spanish and was quick. My boyfriend got the Tacos and I went with the enchiladas. GO With the enchiladas, that's my recommendation. The plates are small but still a good portion size. You do receive a small app of chips and salsa and topping for tacos if ordered. You don't feel overly stuffed and uncomfortable. The food is fresh! The chicken was delicious!!!! I'll definitely be going back!!! To all my Yelpers remember to check in you will get a 10% discount on your first order. Our bill was only $30 with tip included. This spot is definitely one to check out !!
I had the Al pastor, Carnitas and Lengua all were good. Highly recommend and Definitely going back.
This Mexican place is located on a side street, and while the restaurant is small and looks like an average home, they do have a large-ish sign in front. It's across the street from the larger Rosita restaurant. Walking in, the place is quite bare (likely because all tables were removed) with only the kitchen and ordering counter. If you plan to dine in, you can eat outside the house in a tiki hut. We opted to try a variety of tacos. They came out fast, brought to the table by a lady, and were heaped with lots of meat, so it's a pretty good value. They are quite delicious, though could be more sizzling hot. I also wish they have more condiment to choose from, besides the onion and cilantro, like pickles and radish, as well as hot sauces of different spice level. The only issue with dining there is that there are lots of flies. I could barely stop shooing them long enough to snap a picture!! Needless to say, that didn't make an enjoyable dining experience.
SERVICE:5 FOOD QUALITY:5 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME:5 AESTHETICS:4 NOISE LEVEL:5 MENU SELECTION:5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.83 After a long day of swamp hiking and gator gazing we found this place had great reviews and wasn't far from where we were staying. They don't really have a true parking lot and it's really just parking on rubble and the side of the road. The inside was all relocated outside and was just a order window. If you want to eat there you have go outside or you can get it to go. We chose outdoors. The lady at the counter was very nice, and their menu had many great traditional choices to choose from. The outdoor area was very clean, and the tables were in good condition. All the tables were under a covered patio with plenty of shade. With the shade and the slight breeze it was very delightful. They delivered the food to our table with plenty of napkins, and utensils. Our food was absolutely delicious. Sadly I ordered too much food because it all looked, and smelt so good. I wasn't able to finish the fries because I was too full. The fries were cooked to perfection. I honestly would just order fries if I ever go back. The salsa was very flavorful with a hint of spicy. Overall, this restaurant had authentic tasting food that wasn't overly greasy. The eating area was very clean and the service was fantastic. If you're in the mood for Mexican food then this is definitely a place to visit.

Wish I can give a better rating because we've been here before but today's experience was borderline satisfactory at best. To start they took at least 10-15 min to actually acknowledge us and let us know that they are really busy... we understand it's cinco de mayo but at least acknowledge us and tell us, don't leave us hanging!! When it came time to finally order our food they gave us the unfortunate news that they were out of carnitas tacos (which was the special and the reason we even went) so we ordered Al pastor tacos and carne asada fries. Now, the food.... Absolutely delicious and phenomenal as always! Definitely authentic and explosive flavors with each bite! But before we can even eat we realized they forgot to bring us the cilantro/onion side toppings so we had to remind them and wait another 5-10 min while our food was just getting cold to get the servers attention. The carne asada fries was something we tried for the first time today and I can't recommend it enough. Please order this when you come they were so goooood!! We also ordered the classic margaritas which were on the happy hour menu.... However the margaritas had 0 alcohol and was just straight up lime juice! Pretty disappointed in the drinks.... Last time we came we had a much better experience, I guess we can't come when they have busy days! Maybe we'll give it another chance maybe not, there's plenty of fantastic Mexican spots here in homestead and tonight was not a good look for Tacazo. read more
Sat in the outdoor space, even though it was muddy we were so well protected. Service was genuine and prompt. Lots of different choices and we ordered way too much food. The chips and guacamole were delicious and there were plenty of extra hot sauce. Sauces to accompany them. The three plate taco meal was delicious. All three tacos were flavorful. The beers were cold and hit the spot. read more

I've been coming to El Tacazo for over 2 years now and never has it disappointed. There is a reason why I drive 35 minutes to get the best Mexican in the greater Miami area. The service is great, prompt, and friendly. The food is delicious, healing and warms the soul. No matter what you get, you can't go wrong at El Tacazo. read more

Tacazo is a very traditional Mexican taqueria. Today I came for lunch and as always.... I wanted to try the tacos. I had Al pastor, tongue and mix carnitas which has pork belly and pork skin in addition to the traditional pork. Tortillas are freshly made and served warm... Al pastor tacos I would say were the best of what I tried... tongue tacos and carnitas I thought they needed a lot more seasoning. The salsa station was dirty but had a trio of salsas to pick from as well as toppings for tacos. In my opinion they need to adjust their seasoning and restaurant experience. read more

Great little hidden gem in Florida City! I was just driving by one of the side streets off of Palm, near Krome, & happened upon this Mexican restaurant that looks like a lil house! Upon walking inside, it's a quaint little room with a counter facing you and large menu on the wall. Also great décor, very kitsch. with posters of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and even Bob Marley along with some street signs on the wall. When you walk through to the backside door, you have access to the back patio large tiki hut with great Mexican decor, picnic style tables painted nicely, fans, & sound speakers playing fun Mexican tunes. It's a great atmosphere! The food... It was my 1st time here and I was hungry... I ordered the burrito meal with carne asada... It was super hearty & delicious! What's great is they have your choice of a few different types of meat you can put in your burrito or tacos or what not... so I chose carne asada. The little pieces of steak in the burrito had some pieces with fat on them but that was no biggie. Didn't effect how great tasting the burrito was! Next time I'll probably try the tacos al pastor. This place is a great hidden gem though.. Off the beaten path with a cool atmosphere. Perfect for single diners, couples, and definitely family or groups (to sit in the back tiki hut area!) I'll definitely be back. :) read more
Stopped here after work to have an early dinner with one of my friends/coworkers. A little hole in the wall type of place with some outdoor seating. I ordered the 3 taco dinner as well as some fresh guacamole with nachos. The guacamole was fantastic. Very fresh and delicious. Same thing with the tacos. I had a chicken, al pastor and barbacoa as my choice of the tacos. All super delicious. The horchata I had for a drink was absolutely on point. My only complaints. No alcohol and it's pretty hard to enjoy the food with lots of flys flying around. Nonetheless I gave it 4 stars because the food is just worth it! read more

This adorably quaint restaurant is a must visit. I'm always in the area but surprisingly never eat anything when I'm here. A few days ago I finally decided to give something a try and boy, oh boy, am I glad I did. El Tacazo is so cozy and comfortable with great atmosphere and pricing. When you arrive you can place your order at the counter inside or you can take a menu and they'll come to you at a table of your choosing. There are a few tables inside and a bunch outside under this wonderfully decorated gazebo. If you'd rather order online and pickup they also offer that! The staff was very kind, patient, and helpful. I felt extremely comfortable making my order and oh gosh the food was scrumptious. It 100% hit the spot on my craving. I ordered the enchilada platter with rice and beans on the side (no meat) while my partner ordered the asada fries with a side of rice and beans. Both meals were so yummy and and large. I believe each of our meals were $12 and to get rice and beans on the side was another $2 or $3. When we went there was only one other family outside and it was really just a great experience. Great music, large fans for the Florida heat, and sweet decor. Our food was brought out to us, along with lime, cilantro, and other additives for our meals, as is traditional for Mexican restaurants. Next time I have to see if they have any desserts because I'm 100% coming again! read more
Wow! Great little place for delicious tacos at a bargain price. Didn't want the fast food options when leaving Key Largo so I used Yelp to find a local spot and was glad I did. I ordered three tacos. El pastor, carnitas, and shrimp. Meat tacos were $2 and shrimp was $3. They make their own tortillas, either corn or flour. Made to order and grilled they are filled with a generous pprtion of tasty meat. They have onions, cilantro, and lime as well as hot sauce or salsa verde on the tables. The tacos were so good I bought some meat and tortillas to take home. The meat ranges from $10-$15 per pound and the tortillas are 8 for $2. The service is very efficient and helpful. You can eat inside or outside. Skip the chains and come have a great meal at this local taqueria. You won't regret it. read more

Awesome food. Reasonable prices. No alcohol. Everything we ordered here was super delicious. The only thing that could have been better was to have a margarita or a beer. read more
I must say, the only disappointing part was the outdoor seating. Although it's a nice area and open air, you got the flys around which is just annoying. But is Miami and that time of year... I can't imagine coming here in the middle of August, but i will surely be back. The attention was great and food was delicious. You must start worth the nachos, they are a nice amount and every nacho had something on it. I also had a sope, with chicken, i enjoyed it. Also ordered a tripa taco and a al pastor taco, both were delicious. My friend had a gordita and a burrito, which he enjoyed very much also. Maybe next time we'll just get take out, but surely a spot you want to try. read more

While walking through the Redlands market place, El Tacazo is a good stop for a quick bite. Good truck based, but with sit down service. Now, it's nothing fancy, but it does the trick. The food is your basic, but still filling to provide energy for walking around. I ordered the steak quesadilla and the small menudo. The quesadilla was really good. The tortilla is fresh and fluffy. Oh also it is a pretty big quesadilla. The menudo was pretty basic, not really anything to rave about, but it is very filling. Oh the horchata is a good choice for a beverage on a hot day. When I go back I'll definitely get the quesadilla and perhaps some tacos. read more

Is the food good? YES. Amazing, in fact. Delicious. Authentic. That's why we came back. But the service leaves much to be desired. I get it, you are slammed. But don't tell me is going to be 20-30 min to get a to-go order and then after that time is up tell me is going to be another 20-30 min. And then tell me that a third time. That's disrespectful. read more
