    Chilaquiles
    Omar C.

    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.

    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 !!

    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.

    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.

    This is called Asada Fries and it was good.

    Visited Casita Tejas after attending an afternoon show at Seminole Theater across the street. We…read moreheard good things about the food so decided to check it out. I would describe the restaurant as 'casual mexican'. Ample seating inside, clean and with festive decor. The food was good. We started with a 'Queso Fundido' appetizer which we added Mexican Chorizo to. The family gobbled it up before I could take pics! Chips and Salsa kept coming out as needed at no charge. They had a pretty good selection of popular Mexican beers: Modelo on tap, Corona & Dos Equis in bottles. They serve Margaritas (maybe wine-based liquor) but my wife said it was good. The food selection is very good and everyone liked what they ordered. Lots of Enchiladas, Taquitos, Salad options as well as Tacos, Burritos, Chimichangas, etc... I had the Chile Relleno (which they offer stuffed with cheese, chicken or beef. It was good. We discussed not orser dessert. Food was good. Prices were reasonable $15-$20/entree and Service was Excellent! Our waiter came by often to check on us and everything we requested came out quickly. Good experience. I would recommend!

    When we are in this area we come here often. We often have Margarita as our waitress. She always…read moreremembers our orders and the restaurant offers free fresh chips that often come out hot and with salsa. She makes sure that we always have a full basket of chips and salsa and she always is available to fills our drinks. This is an open and clean restaurant with large windows that offer great lighting. Street parking is free and just outside the restaurant is free parking as well. They offer daily specials and a large menu that provides lunch specials. Prices are very reasonable. Food is always fresh and served quickly. I always enjoy coming here.
