1. Tacombi – (Multiple locations: Brickell, Design District)

Tacombi’s tacos taste exactly like the ones you’d find in Mexico: fresh and flavorful, and consistently delicious whether you’re dining in or grabbing tacos to-go. The quality never misses—a testament to their mastery of good food done right. With simple ingredients that speak for themselves and a mission centered on connecting guests to Mexican culture through their food, the Michelin starred restaurant delivers a taco dining experience that feels both nostalgic and adventurous at the same time.

Created by Chef Omar Montero, La Santa Taqueria brings the bold energy of Mexican street tacos to the heart of Miami, with an elevated yet affordable approach. Known for their juicy, flavor-packed tacos, this spot doesn’t hold back when it comes to taste. A standout on the menu is their De Birria taco: tender braised beef marinated in a rich dried chili paste, served with salsa taquera, fresh herbs, and a side of birria broth to pour over your taco for an extra hit. With a sleek, high energy atmosphere and a menu that stays true to tradition, La Santa Taqueria delivers the kind of taco experience that lingers in your mind long after the last bite.

The menu covers all the bases, from classic chicken tinga and pork carnitas to standout options like the Seared Shrimp Taco with a citrusy slaw and chipotle aioli, or the creamy Potatoes and Peppers Taco for a flavorful vegetarian pick. It’s the kind of spot where you can grab a mojito or margarita, kick back, and fuel up before a night out. The dulce de leche flan is optional but highly encouraged. Check out their menu here.
