    Coming from Los Angeles where we have the best Mexican food, I was skeptical about eating Mexican food in Miami. But my friends who lived there said it's the best Mexican food in town. So I decided to try it and they were right, this place is so good! First off, if you're staying in South Beach, this place is far! It's in Little Havana so be prepared to drive. Inside of the restaurant was like a loud fun party and our server was great! She didn't speak much English but had someone come to us and explain everything if we didn't understand. I came in a group of 4 and we ordered guacamole, 3 carne asada tacos combo, tacos pollo, taco camaron, taco fajita de res, burrito pollo, and ceviche de pescado. Everything was really good, but the guacamole was exceptional. If I'm ever in Miami on this side of town I will visit again, but it's not worth driving 30 min from Sobe. Still very good!

    Had the late night munchies and decided to give this place a try. Upon arrival the place was pretty packed for 1am on a Sunday and they had the music bumping in there. I placed my order and waited in my car 15 minutes while the food was prepared. Now for the Tacos, the Al Pastor tacos were very flavorful and chunks of pineapple which I liked only downfall was the tacos were pretty small. The Carne Asada tacos had to be carried by the Salsa Verde but overall I was quite surprised for a spot that's open till 3am.

    Was looking for an authentic place to get some tacos after a long drive from Key West. Walked in and the ambiance was nice and the staff was welcoming. My first impression is that this is the cutest Mexican restaurant. There are three tvs and the main one was playing a nice Mexican music concert. FOOD: Tacos are amazing. We ordered carne asada and Al pastor. Both were so good but the Al pastor was so flavorful and delicious. Highly recommended! CAUTION: The extremely important thing that I would like to add is the at there are peanuts in the salsa at the table. As our second time visiting Miami, we're not familiar with all native cuisine. From Cali, we frequently eat Northern Mexico cuisine and orange salsa is popular. We are aware of mole having peanuts, but never heard of salsa de Cacahuates. Unfortunately, my husband is extremely allergic to peanuts! It's sitting on the table as an orange sauce with no labels. Please consider labeling or removing it from the table. As he started getting a severe allergic reaction, we left quickly to get his medicine. Luckily we didn't have to call an ambulance.

    Tacos El Carnal has quickly become my favourite Mexican spot in Miami. The decor is authentic, food is always delicious, the music is always perfect (all Mexican, all the time) , margaritas are strong & the service is fantastic; everyone is SO nice! I have been here no less than 15-20 times since discovering it & always had a wonderful time. Have brought many people here & they are also blown away. Do yourself a favour & come on a Friday or Saturday and get treated to live music by their amazing singer dressed in full mariachi regalia!

    One of the my favorite Authentic Mexican restaurants. Servers are nice but not super friendly or chatty, but everything comes out quick & correct. Which is the important part! Mexican music is always playing in the background and decor is bright and TVs always playing. My favorite has to be combo #1, which is a hefty mix of two crunchy flautas, a loaded chicken tostada, and a cheese quesadilla for 10$. Parking is complicated and limited, so be warned now!

    New taco spot for our household! I've been meaning to try tacos el carnal for weeks now and today was officially the day. Started off with the guacamole(not pictured) I thought the medium was rather large even splitting it between 3 people, I would definitely get the small next time. The tacos were the star of the show!!! Every single one I tried was mouth watering and delicious... they all tasted extremely fresh as well. I will 100% be back.

    Combo #1 Cheese quesadilla, 2 flautas, chicken tostada... guacamole and crema

    Found this spot late night. There wasn't a wait to be seated. The waitresses were great and came by to check on us frequently. I ordered a Combo #1 that came with a cheese quesadilla, 2 flautas and a chicken tostada. It also included guacamole, crema, and onion on the side. It was a great sized portion for $9. The flavors were really good. Definitely tastes homemade and fresh! I'm looking forward to come back and try some tacos.

    queso fundido

    I had such a great time stopping by Tacos El Carnal for a last minute dinner. There was no wait (thankfully, because we were starving) and the staff was very nice and attentive. It was the middle of the week but all the staff was so energetic, even though there were only a couple other groups sitting. With the music, it really brought up the vibe. We ordered the queso fundido which was soooo cheesy. I ordered the burrito but I couldn't decide if I wanted green sauce or mole, so the waitress brought me some tasters of the sauce to help me decide. I went with the mole sauce and the carne asada burrito which was delicious.

    En Ingles: The food is SO good. The waitresses are so kind. Classic mariachi music is playing, just the right volume. It feels like home. If you have been looking for authentic Mexican food and haven't found it in the Coral Gables/Miami area, you're in luck. This is the place. The Al Pastor is marinated so well, and the pineapple is tender. The corn tortillas are soft and sturdy. A slice of lime for each taco. And actually reasonable prices! The horchata is made by somebody who knows what they're doing. The food comes out so quickly and the quality isn't compromised. Not to mention they are open until 2:00 AM even on weekdays! I'm in tears. Since being in Houston, I have looked for a taco that were as good as the ones I tasted there. This is it. Thank you Tacos El Carnal. En Español: La comida es MUY buena. Las meseras son muy amables. Tocan música clásica de mariachi, al volumen perfecto. Se siente como si estara en casa. Si has estado buscando comida mexicana auténtica y no la has encontrado en el área de Coral Gables/Miami, estás de suerte. Este es el lugar. El Al Pastor está bien marinado y la piña está tierna. Las tortillas de maíz son suaves y resistentes. Una rodaja de lima por cada taco. ¡Y precios realmente razonables! La horchata la hace alguien que sabe lo que hace. La comida sale rápido y la calidad no se ve comprometida. ¡Sin mencionar que están abiertos hasta las 2:00 a. m. incluso de lunes a viernes! Estoy llorando. Desde que estoy en Houston, he buscado un taco tan bueno como los que probé allí. Eso es todo. Gracias Tacos El Carnal.

    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! All in all this place is fire and if you're craving nachos, this is definitely the place you should come to get your fix!

    I'm not sure if it was the churros or what but I got really sick from eating in this place. I…read morebarely slept last night. Miami-Dade should send the health department to see what's going on there. Sorry.

My dinner plans changed last minute due to the weather, which was heavily raining and decided on Lolita despite not having reservations. Upon arrival we were instructed to go upstairs where the very young and inexperienced host could not figure out the system and said sorry there was no availability to accommodate us. We left disappointed and while going downstairs I decided to pull uo their booking site to confirm availability. The system reflected several available time slots for dinner. Kudos to the downstairs host that accommodated us immediately once I showed her the system reflected availability. The servers were truly incredible downstairs and I appreciate the very attentive and charming service provided throughout the evening! I ordered a beet salad which was almost perfect but was lacking feta or goat cheese which I highly recommend they consider having in the kitchen. The oxtails tacos were delicious and very filing. I also enjoyed the brown dessert. Thank you for a yummy evening with fantastic service!
