I found out about this restaurant using Too Good To Go app. I reserved two evening surprise bags and didn't know what to expect. When we got to the restaurant and showed the employee my order info, she grabbed a to-go container, and put white rice, black beans, corn, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes. When we got home, we made tacos using store bought tortillas and chili sauce. The food was delicious. Would love to try their other food next time. read more

Did too good to go. Got a big container with mainly rice and then some beans chicken lettuce and tomatoes. Food was good but mainly rice. $7 though so it was a deal. read more

Liked - Taco sampler - a little salty - Chicken burrito - Taste of horchata Did not like - Stingy amount of the meat with both dishes (burrito is large but mostly filled with rice and vegetables) - Size of horchata; the dine-in amount seemed much less than in the advertised take-out bottle Decent option in the area but expensive considering the portions read more

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. read more

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! read more

The Better Taco - Chicken Basket (Big Bowl) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Virginia Gardens, Florida

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. read more

Ordered street tacos both (chicken and steak ) and a couple of burritos. The street tacos were delicious with the perfect amount of protein. The burritos were tasty however, very skimpy on the protein. It seemed the street tacos which are small had more protein than the burritos. Also tried the cheesecake desserts (Oreo and guava) both good but the guava was excellent. read more

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). read more

The Better Taco - Lobby - Tex-Mex Near Me - Virginia Gardens, Florida

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! read more

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!

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. read more

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. read more

The better taco??? That's a lie. Food was terrible. Tried the Al Pastor Burrito and the meat is so far from what Al pastor should be and the rice in the burrito was hard and crunchy. Extremely disappointing after reading the good reviews... afraid to trust good reviews after this. And on top of the food being disappointing the service was even worse. Luckily there's an iPad to order from on the wall because the staff just straight out ignored us and another customer that was trying to pick up an order. I'm so mad I wasted my money at this place... read more

Stayed in Miami post cruise with my family of 6. Looked for something nearby for lunch and stumbled onto this gem. Was promptly met by the owner and he assured us through the menu.

Tried a little bit of everything on the menu, was not disappointed. read more

The Better Taco - Birria Street tacos 3 - Tex-Mex Near Me - Virginia Gardens, Florida

If you're searching for good Mexican, search elsewhere. I have to be honest, the only thing I LOVED here was my Corona (not even offered a lime). The food was blah. It lacked flavor and where they tried to add "flavor," it fell flat. I ordered tacos de birria with pico de gallo on the side and a side of elote. My husband ordered a burrito with birria and a side of chips and queso. The tacos were low on seasoning and didn't even have a hint of spice (I thought this was a Mexican place? Not even a bottle of hot sauce in sight) and the pico de gallo lacked lime. The elote was even more disappointing... I don't even know if you can call it an elote. It had shredded cheese, not even a hint of lime, very little queso fresco, no tajin, and some pineapple puree drizzled on top... I took two bites and said absolutely not (heart shattered because I LOVE elote). I took a bite of my husbands burrito which was okay... (he got to build it himself so that's the only thing I can say was okay). He wasn't too thrilled about it. The chips and queso are literally Tostitos with Tostitos jar queso. Overall we paid $70 for 4 items and 2 beers, which is the most gut wrenching thing of all. I would've been happier with Chipotle or Lime for that price. As MS locals, I'm sad to say we won't be returning. Maybe if they completely changed their menu, I'd consider trying again, but right now it's just not worth it. read more

I've been here more than a couple of times and I have to say I like! Me gusta! (I'm holding off the fifth star because it been only takeout and I haven't been able to try their desserts and or boozy stuff). This is the kind of place I call "paint by the numbers". You get a bowl, burrito or no carb. I enjoyed brown rice, black beans (they're cool and will give you an extra helping), fresh tomato, pico and cilantro. An advantage they have over their national competitors whose name begins with a C is that their toppings and sauces show us with a significant sweet tooth some love. That's right - you can do like I did and add sweet plantains "maduros" to your bowl. One of their sauces is also pineapple. Very much a yes! The cashiers who have helped me are always pleasant and with great recommendations and condiments. read more

The better BURRITO!! They have amazing burritos/wraps to-order at the counter. You'll have a choice of white, yellow, or brown rice; chicken, beef, pork; dozens of add-ins; black or red beans. Of the many sauces they offer, my favorite is the cilantro sauce. And, don't forget to try their pineapple sauce! At the register you can add delicious home made horchata, and grab a Mexican-bottled soda. Always service with a smile! They also have seating at colorful tables inside... although it's so close to home that I just pick up to-go. read more

The Better Taco is a hidden gem in the Springs. Stopped by to get lunch to go - a simple cheese quesadilla with a side of guac. The quesadilla was nothing too special but the chipotle sauce that came with it was delicious (with a kick)! Guac was good too. I found it a bit overpriced at almost $18 including tax and tip but I'd give them another try. The inside is clean and nicely decorated, and it wasn't busy when I came by on a weekday lunch hour. read more

The food was ok. What didn't appreciate was the fact that both of the ladies who were working there were really rude because I couldn't order my meal in Spanish. I was trying to ask if I should get one sauce or two for my salad, and the lady said "oh my God" and rolled her eyes. As I was leaving, I noticed the two ladies were really pleasant to the two Spanish speaking patrons that came in after me. Again, the food was decent, but I'd rather spend my money where I'm appreciated and respected. read more
