My fiancé and I decided to try Dona Leonor after having seen it getting ready to open for months. Located right on Coral Gables iconic Miracle Mile this place is just getting started. Situated right next to Maiz y Agave, this restaurant is actually an off-shoot of it. The inside of the restaurant is actually pretty cool. Mexican music plays inside mimicking a traditional experience. The tables and walls are decorated with ornate flower designs. Now for the food, we opted for the Quesabirria and some Mexican breads. The Quesabirria was bomb! The flavor was out of this world. There was an amazing amount of cheese and meat stuffed into the tortilla. The Consommé was delicious. The pastries were a little lacking unfortunately. The concha was very grainy. What really sold us, was the Horchata! WOW!!! What amazing horchata, which is super hard to find in Miami. Our waiter, Danny, was very helpful in making the experience so much better. Overall though, this was a very nice surprise for a place I'm sure can become a really cool spot in Coral Gables. Go on out and check it out! And until next time folks! Enjoy the meal!!!

I love this genuine & authentic Mexican restaurant. They are just fantastic in their quality,…read moreexecution, and deliverables!! Their staff makes the difference too!! From Ernesto, to Isaac, to Nieves there manager. Everytime I bring someone here, they tell me it's unforgettable, and they will be back. So please check this place out, it's worth it's weight in Gold!! Quick highlights: the Guac w/crispy made to order chichrones. They Queso Fundido, the ceviche, and carnitas are fantastic too. Check it out, and thank me later.

A very good friend of ours recommended Talavera as she comes here often. We were greeted nicely by…read morethe hostess by the front entrance and we decided to sit indoors to get a feel for the ambiance which was definitely very nice and beautifully decorated. The place was full with the lunch crowd and they all seemed happy. The music was loud but it was soothing music. The outdoor seating is in the Giralda Plaza next to the restaurant and looked very inviting. Next time! Our server was Ana and she was attentive and helpful. My daughter and I decided to share our dishes. We decided to start with the Queso Fundido Poblano and Tortilla Chips with Guac as our appetizers. The chips were crunchy good and the Queso Fundido was good but was burnt around the edges and could have used more cheese. Our main dishes were the Enchiladas Suizas, which were delicious and perfectly made with suiza sauce to emphasize the flavor. Yummy! We also ordered Quesa Birria, which seemed overcooked and the tortillas were too hard. Since this is considered a Mexican restaurant, for a side dish I asked Ana for red refried beans that I love but I received black bean hummus. I explained to the waiter that I didn't order that and described Mexican refried whole red beans to him. He came back with smashed red beans hummus style, similar to the black bean hummus. I ate a couple of bites and had to push it away. I had my daughter taste it and she didn't like it either. It didnt taste like the ones I was used to all my life. Every restaurant is different so we understand. We chose iced house water to drink because it was early in the day. They leave a bottle of it at your table which was nice. They do have a full bar and I would love to try a classic Margarita there one day. For dessert, we ordered the Tres Leches Chocoabuelitas. One bite each was enough for us and we had to leave it, sorry to say because we love chocolate but this was bitter and not smooth to the taste. I don't know what happened to it but it was not edible. We will have to come here another time to try other dishes. We were there on 01/07/26. There is street parking and we parked a short block away. Entrance to the restaurant is ADA approved.

On our first evening in Doral, FL we found this great place across the street from our hotel. It…read morewas so good we went there five times during our vacation in Florida. 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

Koko is among the natural tree canopy of Coconut Grove, the 6,000 sq ft indoor & outdoor restaurant & bar transported us to Mexico with its sophisticated and artistic design, cacti garden, and outdoor bar & terrace. The 170 seat restaurant & bar conveys a fun, lively & warm setting to enjoy our Mexican meal. The open view kitchen allowed us to watch the handcrafted tortilla baking & wall showcasing over 400 mezcales & tequilas. We sat outdoors in the magnificent cacti garden. We started with frozen margaritas, they were smoky, icy cold & refreshing. We opted to share a skirt steak taco platter, passing up the insects on the menu. The tacos came out in minutes before our margaritas. The skirt steak was lean, juicy, and so tender we could cut it with a fork. Our meal was absolutely excellent. An 18% service charge was added to our bill. Service was quick and on point.

Upon arriving the decor and ambiance was very nice and welcoming. The staff was very friendly and sat us down right away. Our waiter answered a few of our questions and we went with his recommendations which didn't disappoint. It was delicious! My cauliflower pistachio mole was a very unique blend of flavors I had never experienced before. I really enjoyed it. The guacamole and chips were tasty and I loved that the chips were not fried and were made of organic blue corn. My husband enjoyed his Chilean seabass tacos. He loved the flan it's a big one he couldn't finish it all. (Since I'm plant-based I couldn't try it. Over all we'll be back and recommend Koko in the Grove.
