We had dinner here tonight - the best chips and queso, the best wait staff and the best blackberry margarita . Loved our dinner tonight - hope to go come back soon. The beef quesadilla was amazing and the guacamole was perfect ! read more

My fajitas were terrible. The steak, onions and peppers were either terribly overcooked or burnt. Certainly not worth the $17.95 that they changed. My husband said that his beef burrito was just edible. I know we will never go back, once is enough. There are other Mexican restaurants, that have really good food, that you can go to. I tried it, so now we can cross it off our list. I will say that our waiter was fine(that's why I gave it more than 1star). read more

Small business with amazingly friendly service. Read the reviews and have to agree that this place is so welcoming. Great flavors and fast fresh food Can't wait to go back read more

The atmosphere at this off the normal grid is great. Very lively and lots of music. I visited this restaurant early on a Sunday, so their lunch menu was not available. I had my service dog with me and was still greeted warmly. I ordered Shrimp Creama which is one of my favorites. Their version was a little mild for me. I added green Tabasco to liven the leftovers. The server was nice enough to give me extra rice and beans with my leftovers. Their menu is expansive and I was able to get non alcoholic beer which is wonderful with spicy food. My only regret was my favorite Mexican entree Chile Releno was not available. Try it it's fun and at the very North end of Vero Beach at Highland. read more

we went there for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the server was very pleasant.

Great food but the hours are horrible. They are not open till 8pm they are open for breakfast and basically lunch unless you want dinner by 3pm.this seems to be the new hours since they reopened after being closed since Christmas 2022 read more

I had high hopes from this restaurant. I totally LOVE places in locations like strip malls. They often have fantastic food. We were seated promptly. Not a lot of tables, but it was a Tuesday, so we had no problem getting a table. We were ah fed menus with pictures and an English and Spanish labels. Pretty cool. There were no prices on the menu which sent off mini warning lights in my head. However, it was a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall, how much could it be. We decided to get the large sampler appetizer platter and Fajitas. The platter was delicious except for the four mozzarella cheese sticks with marinara sauce. Really odd inclusion, everything else on the platter was delicious. We took the cheese sticks home to my kid, because, well, that is cheesy kid food. The fajitas came in a sizzling plate. Everything seemed hot and fresh. They gave us flour and corn tortillas, on request. The flavor was good. Small amount of lettuce and tomatoes and with rice and beans. No guacamole and no sour cream. But, that is okay. There were also no complimentary chips and salsa, but I could deal with that. However, the sampler platter was $17 which seemed exorbitant for what it was. The fajitas were $20. It was a single hot plate. Very over priced. Flavors were good, food was hot but I wouldn't go back. read more

I was looking forward to having a good mexican restaurant down the street-worked in one for 10yrs and family owns restaurant. This one is a big disappointment Expensive- $13 for a taco salad & beans no chips included or salsa. Service was bad-rude takeout person and beans leaked all over bag. Will never return or recommend. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area. Very authentic, as I was told the chef is a woman from Mexico who makes everything from scratch. Best enchiladas I've had anywhere, and warm fresh tortilla chips. I also had carne asada there once which was very good. Dive bar setting but excellent food! My friend said the tacos were good too. read more

Owned by a wife and husband team hailing from Mexico and Puerto Rico respectively, la Taberna has made the right choice in opting to serve Mexican food. The menu is varied, with a kind of "middle Mexico" menu with dishes from various regions. The service wasn't very good and it looked like our server was in training--there were only three tables with people and she was really struggling. The food, on the other hand, was pretty good, and authentic. I loved all the Spanish spelling errors on the menu--they remind me of home. ;) - Guacamole 2/5. Price! They should be charging $5 for this, not $9. - Michelada 3/5. The beer cocktail of champions. - Sopes (beef). 3/5. Not a whole lot of flavor. - Flautas (chicken). 4/5. Really big for flautas, but light and delicious. - Adobo de puero. 4/5. Nice spice. I hope the red was from chiles and achiote and not food coloring. ;) - Service 1.5/5 Normally, I'd rate them a 3/5, but because the food is authentic, they get an extra point. Authentic Mexican places are hard to come by in Florida. read more

Still on my quest to find outstanding authentic Mexican food in the Vero Beach area. Not sure there is such a thing here (Outstanding), but La Taberna is worth a try. Made up my own plate as I wanted to try a little of everything. Had the carne asada taco. Little dry, but a decent taco. Ground beef enchilada was OK, just a typical run of the mill enchilada. Was happy to find sope's on the menu. When I asked if they use cabbage or lettuce, the waitress said cabbage. I was elated to say the least! (This is just one of my personal hangups. Lettuce wilts so quick on hot sope's. Cabbage is the way to go. Might just be a Southern California thang, not sure.) Went with the carne asada sope'. After ordering the waitress came back and said they were out of cabbage. Looking at the Yelp pictures, I'm not so sure it isn't just lettuce. Sope' was good, but would be better with cabbage. I will go back and we'll see if indeed cabbage is used, that would increase their star rating to a "Yay, I'm a fan". La Taberna is nothing over the top great, but it was a pleasant surprise here in Vero Beach. Staff was super friendly, place seemed clean and well kept for the dining area. Quick, easy, decent service with prices just a tad above what I'd expect. A little strip-mall joint off Highway 1 that's worth visiting. read more

Got the kale salad with tempeh added. One of the best salads I've ever had by far. Friendly people also, definitely will be back.

FOOD: Good tacos - Asada Tacos were my favorite. Didn't care for the chicken ones. The carnita ones were good as well. Had nachos as an appetizer...very good! OVERALL: I'd come back! ***Sorry, forgot to take pictures. read more

Pretty good for a strip mall restaurant/bar. Prices were on point with the quality/portions. Friendly staff with quick service. A/C seemed like it wasn't really working well but maybe someone asked to turn it down. It was pretty empty at the time. read more

The food and the service are great nice friendly staff always Aqua Fresca are very good

I was impressed. Starting out with fresh warm homemade tortilla chips and salsa. Ordered the chicken enchiladas off the lunch menu. They were way above average than others I have had at Mexican restaurants. Even the rice and beans were homemade and fresh. My Mother who really doesn't like Mexican food was dinning with me and she finished her plate and enjoyed it. Great service and high standards. I will be definently be coming back. read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. Everything is made from scratch. Everything from the homemade tortilla chips, the tacos and carne asada where fantastic. read more

This is a great authentic, quaint Mexican bar and restaurant! Love their micheladas with camarones. Its a meal in a glass! I moved away 2 years ago and miss this place dearly! read more

Just went here for my birthday dinner. What a disappointment! I had beef enchiladas and they were dry and tasteless. Hubby had carnitas which was just shredded pork, also dry and tasteless. The "homemade" tortillas were thick and fell apart. The salsa was yummy, at least, and the waitress from El Salvador was nice. I believe the cook was from Honduras - maybe the problem with a Mexican restaurant. Not cheap. Don't waste your time here read more

Cute little spot. The staff is friendly and the food is good. I had the enchiladas and liked them.

I used to be able to go in there, get speedy and competent service, and order a small side order of guacamole to go with my chips and salsa, along with a meal. Now they want to charge me $8.99 for a large bowl of guacamole or they refuse to give me any guacamole at all. I wouldn't mind paying up to four dollars for a ramekin of guacamole. I don't expect it to be free. I know avocados are expensive. Waitstaff turnover seems to be so high that there is always a new waitress serving customers. Maybe that is why I can't get a small side order of guacamole anymore, because the new waitress doesn't know I'm a generous tipper. The food is okay, but the service is unpredictable, often poor. read more

Went there for lunch the place was full the food was excellent and had very good prices if you want to try authentic Mexican food give this place a try is not like the other mexican restaurant in town the place is small and friendly service even the cook came out to ask if we were happy with the food definitely will come back and try different entrees read more

Love the food! It is so fresh, homade, light for what can be heavy food. Service was good,. The waitress is also the chef and boy does she know great food! The atmosphere is "diner Formica", but that's not why we go. Great place to take the kids for a casual dinner. Chips/salsa dip outstanding! read more

What a disappointment...dinner was supposed to come with rice and beans...there were 3 beans in soupy watery stuff. They also forgot the guacamole--unforgivable! read more

I really like this restaurant. Very casual and the prices were very reasonable. They have a huge selection and the portions are large. Everything that I have tried has been delishes. The customer service has been exceptional. It has a small bar and plenty of TV's. I was happy to stumble upon this place. The restaurant is by no means fancy and that what I love about it. For being a little strip mall restaurant I think this place is fantastic. You wouldn't know it by driving by. Definitely worth giving it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Just had a awesome time here an must say the food is very good and very authentic. My wife is mexican so trust me. It's good shit lol . I recommend the tacos an tortas. So good read more

Very authentic Mexican food in South Vero. My friend and I had the soft shell tacos: 3 shredded beef and 3 chicken. Both delicious. The fajitas at another table looked so good. read more

Carne asada tacos were delish, and the service at the bar was great! Very clean, small but authentic. I recommend!!

The service at this place was disgusting, I've never been treated so rude in my entire life, my girl friend who has an emotional service dog got denied service, when it is illegal to do so, we were starving so I ordered food to go and I am pretty sure that they just threw some crappy gas station burritos in a micro wave and gave them to us, avoid this place at all costs!!!! read more
