    Establishment is location in a plaza with plenty of parking. Went for dinner around 7 on a Friday and the place was pretty much empty. The decor was really nice but the tables were dirty for previous customers. I had to clean my table off. There a machine on the wall to order food but the servers behind the counter took my order. Unfortunately, servers were unable to explain certain things due to language barrier. Next time I'll read the menu beforehand because I also felt rushed to complete my order. The food was okay, not special about it. I didn't like the lack of sauce selection for the rice bowl I ordered. The sweet plantains had a weird taste, that I couldn't describe. The chicken was a little dry. Meal didn't include a drink, so I had to pay an additional four dollars for a small lemonade. I might give this place another try.

    Really, really yummy tacos! Not the street tacos you're expecting - they are grilled with cheese and meat inside! Very indulgent. The topping bar is so fresh as well - cilantro, pico, jalepenos, etc! Their menu was a little hard to understand, but I really don't think you could go wrong! A "basket" is a taco salad, the "taco platter" is essentially a bowl, and it's a LOT of food! The "Royos" is a burrito. And I described the tacos above! They do have beers/alcohol. Walkable to from nearby hotels. Friendly and fairly quick service. Good prices ($11-$17 for a meal). The sides of rice and beans and again huge portions - share them! Cute dining room, seats about 10 groups! Overall a great, casual vacation stop!

    Just delicious! Quiet and clean restaurant in a strip mall. Owner is so kind and engaging! Taco platter was so fresh and good! Small Plantain bites were sweet little gems of flavor in my bowl. Guacamole was fresh and flavorful. Will definitely be back!

    After checking into my hotel in Miami, I ordered food here via DoorDash. I got the 3 birria street tacos and the chips with queso, pico, and guac. I loved all of my food so much! The quac was excellent and the queso was unlike any other queso I had before! The queso does come cold, so make sure you have a way to heat it up. Also, no cutlery provided so a little food went to waste unfortunately without it as not everything fit right in the tacos. That would be nice if they provided some cutlery and napkins. But it didn't ruin my experience. Food was excellent and I wish it were local to my home.

    Food arrived to my hotel quickly. Portions were good for the price. Birra was a little dry worked out well having the extra side to Pico.

    This is essentially Chipotle, but it feels more authentic to Mexican food. The food was okay. I did like that when you dine in there, they provide customers actual dishware that can be reused by the restaurant, unlike Chipotle. The service was okay. It didn't seem like they were that happy to serve us since it was our first time there and we were unfamiliar with the menu. That didn't make me feel quite welcomed. I ordered the Basket (big bowl) and my boyfriend ordered the Authentic Street Tacos (3).

    Great spot for authentic tacos and delicious Mexican bowls. Birria Tacos 10/10 Chicken Tacos 10/10 Service was fast and friendly. The Mexican music was wonderful and made the experience even better. The bathrooms were clean as was the restaurant overall. Can't wait to come back!

    This is an unbelievably good location to have tacos! WOW! Those street tacos are on point. Grilled with the melted cheese, protein, and onions with cilantro. Talk about amazing. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. They do one order at a time. The food is fresh and hot. The flavors are amazing! I stopped for lunch once and got traditional tacos and they were great. Went back a week later and tried the street tacos and that's my new go to. The bowls look phenomenal too. Just can't get past the street tacos to try them. This is a place you MUST try. Close to the airport, come to Here and try it. Even if you're a little distance from this location, it's a hidden gem and you should try it. The location is well lit. Decent seating. Overall very good. The food is a little pricey...but the flavors are there. Amazing amazing amazing!

    Servers were so helpful with guiding us our first time here. Street tacos were amazing and overloaded with meat! Everything we ordered was top notch!! I highly recommend this place. Great for kids too. Such a cute cozy place with reggaeton playing. Super close to the airport also. Loved it! The owner said he makes the paleto bars himself and so we tried them & they were divine!!

    I visited this establishment a few weeks ago and it was amazing. It's located in a strip mall type of area. The restaurant is beautifully decorated in the inside and has a Mexican vibe. The staff were friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and fresh. I ordered the taco platter and it was a lot more food than I expected. I enjoyed my meal and will definitely go back.

    Birria tacos
    Yulaidi S.

    Ordered this via uber eats so my review is just on the food and I guess their go to container. I got birria tacos, chips with guac, chili chamoy Mexican gummies and orchata to drink. The tacos are A+. They come with like an aoli sauce or something. They delicously messy and it was difficult not to eat all three through my full pains. Chips and guac were well chips and guac. I feel there's no going wrong there except maybe the guac but the guac was good and kept well in the fridge when I put the container top back for several hours. Usually guac gets yucky by then but this kept well on my fridge with their to go container. The orchata was actually delicious. I say this cause usually I don't really like orchata but I always feel like it should be something I like so I keep ordering it whenever places have it and this is the first place I've actually liked and finished. This alone gives them the 5 stars. Lastly I had the gummies. It's the type of gummies I usually don't like but I guess with the chamoy it makes it goood. This is the perfect kind of desert for me since I usually don't like desert but I love candy. Overall great food and super filling. I basically ate only this meal throughout the day and still had candy left over by the end. Next time I want to check out the restaurant but food alone I recommend! Update: Went in person. Updated some photos for the view of the place. 1) place is cute with some mild decorations. The way the front looks is like cafeteria style (or if you prefer an example kind of like Chipotle). 2) a women helped me and a friend. She was super nice and patient. Even checking if we were going to pay together or separate after she took my friends order so she can charge ahead and then make my food. 3) I tried this time 3 regular street corn tacos, steak. I put both the Cilantro and jalapeno sauce. Delicious! Also of course I couldn't come here without my orchata drink. This place will be my new go to for orchata. Note: my friend didn't like it, he said it was too creamy but maybe this is why I like it ? I also tried the orchata paleta and omg was it good. Apparently it's a seasonal thing so try and grab one this week! Otherwise they'll probably have another flavor available. I saw they had starberry and some others that are probably permanent. Definitely gonna be a nice go to spot to have lunch or dinner with friends. Highly recommended.

    These tacos were the best tacos I've had I. A long time! Try the Carne Asada tacos and you won't be disappointed. They are amazing

    I think the empty plate says it all. The owner served us and was kind and funny! I got the street tacos and my husband got the taco plate. Very tasty and reasonably priced. We're all the way from California...long ways to travel for tasty tacos.

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.

Basically one person up front and one in the back. Didn't speak much English either so resorted to menu pointing. Food was solid but pricey. Decent portion sizes though. Quesadilla (4): good.

Flautas (3): super crispy which was good but the chicken was super dry and needed more seasoning. They really rely on the salsas here so drown them.

I was excited when they opened the Doral location since it's much closer to me, and at first their tacos were top notch. My go to orders were always the birria tacos and the shrimp tacos. Unfortunately, recently the quality just hasn't been what it used to be especially considering the prices. I'm not a big fan of the chicken tacos, and the steak tacos are a miss for me as well. The steak doesn't taste like high-quality meat and tends to be dry. I really wish they would improve the quality of their proteins. As for my usual favorites, the last two times I ordered the shrimp tacos, they had a strange flavor and were really soggy, which was disappointing. On top of that, it seems like they may have new employees because service has become noticeably slower. We waited almost an hour for about 50 tacos, which is unusual since they're normally pretty fast. Talkin' Tacos is still one of my favorite spots, and I'm really hoping the quality goes back to what it used to be. If things improve, I would absolutely raise my rating to five stars. But for now, I'm giving it 3 stars due to the inconsistency in food quality and the long wait times.
