    La Michoacana is off the beaten path, standing by itself and surrounded by tax offices and wire transfer shops, in what I would call the inner guts of the foregone Little Havana, and what has become Little Honduras/Nicaragua. This is probably not a nice area to walk around, not because it is crime full, but because there is nothing nice to look at. Only those who work around here visit La Michoacana, as well as the residents of the nearby areas. People may be puzzled to figure out how La Michoacana has survived. But if you stop by, you will figure it out right away. First, the place looks awesome, with lots of original art work depicting pop Mexican art, artwork that is also used as menus. Second, they are extremely helpful, because they are a family run business. And third, they have lots of food available. As far as foods available, this will be elaborate. This place labels itself as an ice cream shop. They sell ice creams, paletas, raspados, and some things I cannot pronounce or don't have the correct word for. Flavors include tequila, jamaica, horchata, mango, etc. Paletas (fruit/ice cream bars) come in arroz con leche, mango, etc. There are many flavors available but unfortunately I can't remember them all. But that is not all at La Michoacana. They also serve tacos, tortas, quesadillas, and something I have never seen, chicharrones, which is a large pork rind covered with all types of meats and vegetables and sauces. Interesting. Everything is made in house, fresh, and daily. But that is not all. Sorry for being redundant, but fresh juices, Mexican sodas, regular sodas are also available. And more importantly, they have a huge collection of Mexican candy. This place could also be a candy shop just by the amount of imported candy available. If you come here for Mexican candy only, you will most likely be equally satisfied. La Michoacana is definitively a look into Mexican culture. Candy, pops, drinks, food, this place is not only foodie heaven, it is also kids heaven. I see how the area has impacted the popularity of this ice cream shop, but this place is Mexico in Miami. And they have paletas. Yes, they do.

    So glad we found this spot ! Me and my boyfriend went in to just get one thing but, decided to stay for food and even left the place with snacks for later. First went in for the chamoyada, they were premade(which I was a little disappointed at first) but found out they made there there and it's ALL natural. I found out they have this nanche flavored ice cream, ITS A MUST.(nanche is a common fruit in Mexico) it was so natural and homeade , the seeds were still in it! And good chunks of the fruit itself. We also tried the queso fresa and mamay flavor(both were so good) While sitting there another customer ordered fresh tacos, the tortillas are homemade, so I HAD to get an order. You don't find too many places that make homemade tacos, so we ordered 3 tacos asada. My goodness they were delicious. As a snack we also got a chicharron preparado, and left with four popsicles to go, (Wednesday's they have a special on them for 2.25) I must say, this is a hidden jem! We came from Miami Beach and we're looking for some good Mexican food, a bit of a drive from our location but it was well worth of a trip! If in the area you have to check it out !

    The service was very inviting. They have everything and more for such a small and quaint venue. The paletas and ice cream flavors are all natural and delicious. I can't wait to go back over and over again. My new favorite spot for an inexpensive treat.

The service was just okay and the music too loud for my liking, making it perhaps not ideal for families with children. It was very busy and not necessarily spacious. However, the food is transcendent. Everything that we tried was outstanding, even the chicken nachos and quesadilla. They season and cook everything properly. The beef tacos were fresh and tasty and the quesabirria tacos were even better. Great flavor and balance. What takes this restaurant to an elite level is the mole. It is exquisite and a rare find.

When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system.

Mauricio was at the bar and we definitely missed being under his attention by not sitting there. Eliezer (the Venezuelan waiter from Mérida) took care of us in the dining room. Both are always very friendly and attentive. This time we decided to sit in the dining room because we were a group of three and had a lot to talk about. The place has 4 TVs and we were able to enjoy the France vs Spain match. We all ordered La Tropical Draft beer, a light, smooth, and very refreshing blonde. In total we had 16 beers . We shared nachos with grilled steak, which were very good (they pour the melted cheese right at the table). We also ordered tripa tacos well toasted (that's the technique) as we requested, and they came out excellent. Note: They have different promotions or offers depending on the day, not a regular happy hour variety, so it's good to be aware of that. The restaurant offers a good variety of 8 salsas: Sirloin, Chips, Guacamole, Verde, Vicente, Pastor, Chilanga, and Asada. Good atmosphere, pleasant service, and tasty food. We'll definitely keep coming back.

We really enjoyed the short rib tacos and Verde chicken enchiladas. They were both outstanding. But the best part of the meal was the watermelon margaritas, holy moly so good! I highly recommend this place and its a cute little area to walk around and explore after.

    I have heard so much around this place and I can confidently say it lives up to the hype!…read more Finding parking nearby is a bit tricky as it is only street parking and there's only outside dining available. The music selection is fire though and I was jamming out the whole time while waiting for my food. I complimented them on the music selection and they mentioned the owner is dominican and puerto rican which explained the great music selection. I was helped out by Adrian and his service was helpful in finding what dishes to order. I took my food to go and it was piping hot, definitely made fresh to order which I enjoyed. The nachos were what I was most eager to try as they are all the rage on social media. They lived up to the hype and that nacho cheese is absolute gold. I love that it's served in a pizza box. It just makes it iconic. It travels well and everything was still hot when I got home. The Al Pastor taco was just okay, nothing to write home about but now the steak burrito was really really good. I love that they don't have rice in their burritos and instead replace it with potatoes, which is absolutely delicious. They give two different types of salsas with your order plus limes and the green salsa is unreal. Add it to everything for a flavor boost!
