About Taco Bell
Taco Bell is a haven for Mexican delicacies such as tacos, quesadillas, burritos, nachos, and other specialty items. Owned by Yum! Brands, Inc. Taco Bell is one of the fastest growing American chains of fast food restaurants. The restaurant operates from 7,072 different locations which are mostly run by independent franchisees and licensees.
The background story of Taco Bell is interesting and inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. The fast-food brand is the brainchild of Glen Bell, who started his first food venture as a hot dog seller in San Bernardino, California. The year was 1948. After witnessing long queues outside a Mexican restaurant called Mitla Café across the street, Bell saw the opportunity and demand for hard-shelled Tacos. He reverse-engineered the recipe and later started selling Tacos and called the venture Taco-Tia.
Later, the name changed from Taco-Tia to El Taco. Eventually, Glen Bell sold the company to his partner and opened the first Taco Bell in Downey in 1962. By 1964, the restaurant also got its first franchise in Torrance. The 100th Taco Bell restaurant was opened by 1965. PepsiCo acquired Taco Bell from Glen Bell in 1978 and the restaurant brand is currently a subsidiary of Yum! Brands which looks after the restaurant business of PepsiCo.

Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This was my first time here and was very happy with my meal. I had the Beef Chimichanga and it was outstanding. Everything is made fresh and it's authentic Mexican. It's a little hole in the wall spot but it's worth visiting if you're in the area.

I know everyone loves Chipotle Mexican grill, yeah yeah. But, if you want to try something outside of the burrito then check this little place out. First, it's not some big corporate monster like the previously mentioned CMG. Its something they aren't....personable! People there actually talk to you and not at you. The food is really good and the service is fast. And it's a ton of food. I spent 6 years living in Texas and then I Lake Worth, I've tried many many Mexican and Tex Mex places and this one is good enough to have a repeat visit. And they have Mexican ice cream and sodas!
(4)Marco R.
I love this place! The staff was super nice, the food was good, and the prices are amazing for the amount of food you get. The environment inside the restaurant is great too. Would recommend and go again.
(4)Dayli A.
Love this place, they're family owned - always quick on the to-go orders, very customer service oriented, and they always have specials going on. They're open till late and the food is AWESOME!!! Really not sure if it's "authentic" Mexican food, it may be, it may not be, but it's delicious!!!
(5)Sergio F.
If you skimp on sauces, it's going to cost you! I've eaten at this spot a couple of times on and off and somehow hadn't been motivated to review it. To it's credit, it's OK. It's pretty authentic (staff is actually Mexican as is the decor and soundtrack. ) Their chicken tacos, are particularly good. They were loaded with chicken, lettuce, Pico De Gallo, and sour cream. The chips were crispy, if a little greasy. Service was pleasant. But... If you read my reviews, you know the sauce and seasoning is an essential part of my meal. They used to have a self-serve salsa bar which I generously patronized especially with their burritos. However, when I went tonight the salsa bar is no longer. I had to keep asking for salsa, which was served in cups smaller than a cortadito and a little less than the nearby chain Mexican restaurant. No es bueno! Especially because my chicken burrito, while nicely packed with meat and a decent helping of crema tasted heavy on beans and light on salsa. That's why you get only 3 stars.
(3)Linda A.
Great spot right on 49th street (nw 103rd) in Hialeah. It's a casual place that offers a nice assortment of easy to eat Mexican dishes. Fast and friendly service. Another plus side is that they are open later than other places in the area so this is one of my go to's for a late affordable dinner. My usual is the Carne asada chimichanga. It's like toasted burrito. I don't like veggies so I really like it that they already have the lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. I've also had the rice dishes with chicken and beans. Also a great option. Some other things I've tried are the taquitos (so-so) and the chicken enchiladas (good but I have to add the salsa for more flavor).
(5)MICHELLE C.
I do not get to Hialeah often and my daughter bragged about this place so we were in the area and decided to stop in for lunch. Located in a small strip center a few doors down from Sweetness Bakery. Free parking lot, always nice! The inside has nice Mexican décor. Bright gold walls, sombrero's, very colorful. They have a nice salsa bar with mild to spicy salsa's to choose from. You walk up to the counter, order, they give you a number and you grab a seat and they bring out your food when ready. My daughter ordered a Burrito and I chose the carne asada tacos. The chips and salsa were ok. The taco's did not have any cheese just the meat, lettuce, and diced tomatoes. There was no real taste to them. They were just ok, nothing to get me to want to come back. Sure the prices are reasonable. OK place to stop in for a quick fast food concept. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

'PLACE NOT GOOD FOR GROUP'S....NOT BIKE FRIENDLY...We are a Bike Group that ride every Tuesdays in search of tacos out of Pace Park in Downtown Miami...We've been here in the past where we were welcomed, and because there is no place to park and lock your bikes, they allowed us in the past to bring our bikes in and put them against the wall away from entrance and exits and other patrons. This last ride there they waited until we all got in, park our bikes, walked up to the counter to order...and then told us we couldn't have our bikes there....You lost 20 orders that night...We will pass this on to other riders....Taco Tuesdays Miami Ride #tacotuesdaysmiami #tacotuesdaysmiamiride #tacos

I'm not really sure who is ranking this restaurant, but I will say I contemplated giving my first ever 1 star review. I came to this place for lunch, excited to eat a 4.5 star mexican restaurant and what I got was far from it. I also ordered a recommended dish by many yelpers and found the following. The refried beans were easily the best part of the meal. I ordered the tacos al pastor and found that the meat tasted like a chicharron, doused in so much oil, you couldn't even discern what type of meat you were eating. The rice was ok and the guacamole wasn't terrible but I would never go back to this establishment. I think it tells you enough that there is never more than one car outside of the restaurant and I truthfully feel defrauded by yelpers for having dined at this 4.5 star establishment. This meal was terrible. I don't know if I have hialeah yelpers to thank but I am not impressed. Go to jacalito and then tell me what this ranks.
(2)Sandy S.
Nothing authentic about it at all. So disappointing considering all the rave about it on here. Chicago still has the best street tacos and that is what I was expecting. None of that here. The wings were ok though. No I will not be back.
(1)Julie M.
They were previously located where Chipotle is now in 49st they used to have a drive thru and was a lot busier. I remember going as a kid with my parents, ever since they relocated it's died down a lot. I always order the Nachos it's this plate stacked with chips, steak, guac, cheese and pico de gallo and it's my favorite dish, I don't order anything else & their horchata is great. I leave stuffed and happy, this place is a hit or miss with what you order. But it's where you get actual Mexican food unlike Taco Bell or Chipotle or any of those fast food joints and one closest to me. So if you're going for the first time get the nachos with a horchata I swear by it!
(4)Jose M.
Me and my cousin went for lunch on a monday and we had the chihuahua burrito al pastor and the carne asada chimichanga they where great some of the best authentic mexican i had so far in miami . Only sugesttion is salsa for the chips
(5)Indya R.
Closest thing to a taco shop in south Florida. I am from California. Taco shops used to be my life. After moving to Miami, I found little to no REAL Mexican restaurants or taco shops, and learned for the first time, the term, Tex-Mex (Super side eye galore). Hey, either you're Mexican, or you're not. There's no other way, restaurant! I researched for YEARS before I yelped and found this place. Just like Albertos. This is a taco shop. Not a restaurant. It has it in the title. Please don't come here expecting to be wined and dined. Get your order in, wait for the deliciousness, and go eat it at home. And then I was happy. YOU'RE WELCOME!
(4)Lisandra S.
The service was so incredibly fast. The food was good and I couldn't believe that I haven been here before. It's family owned and that's one of the big things I look for. The quesadilla was delicious. And the mango smoothie tasted like real mangos.
(4)Leo C.
The food was ok with decent prices, but nothing impressed me to the point that I would go back.
(3)Danielle C.
NOM NOM NOM!!!!! A friend from school had a Groupon to this place, but practically had to beg me to trek out to Hialeah. WELL WORTH THE DRIVE Y'ALL!!! Cheap. Yummy. did i mention yummy? We had a $20 groupon and had trouble ordering that much because everything was so cheap! I had the Chihuahua Burrito and my friend had 2 enchiladas. Both came with chips and your choice of an assortment of salsas!! The verde caliente was my favorite!! We also ordered 2 single tacos with pork. They came with lettuce, pico, and guac. The pork was a little dry. I would probably try chicken next time. The burrito was AWESOME!! Just a flour tortilla, lettuce, sour cream, beans, rice, and carne asada yumminess! The enchiladas looked very good! They piled the sauce and cheese onto 3 of them. The only downside to this place was their guac. Didn't seem homemade which I am fine with.....but didn't taste appetizing either. The consistency was very blended and was pretty bland. It is a decent sized walk in place that gets pretty packed at lunch! but clean and organized! Everything comes on a styrofoam plate but I could argue it makes the food taste better! Cant wait to take the Wine Goddess along next time to get her Mexican on!!! Oh and they serve beer. Always a plus in my book!
(4)Jova R.
Visited Taco Shop last minute because we saw a groupon for it and decided to try it out. Definitely not worth trying again. The Groupon was $14 for 2 entrees and either nachos or a sample platter. If you enjoy large quantities of food for minimal price and are willing to sacrifice quality food then this is the spot for you. A lot of food for very little money. I don't know why I was under the impression this was a sit down restaurant. but its definitely not. You walk in order your food off a large screen you sit and they bring it to you. its dark lit and smelled kind of musty like wet rag. i was expecting to smell fried beans and meat. That's the last thing i smelled. I ordered the taco salad and it was ok. a lot of chicken which was good but didn't have a distinctive Mexican flavor. i wish there was more cilantro and lime in there. we shared the appetizer that brought a few things. again lots of ok Mexican food. My fiance had the wet burrito nothing wow just a burrito with red sauce over it. If your in the area and are craving Mexican, this is your best bet b/c the only otehr option is Taco bell in that area. But if you want good authentic mexican food, drive to Pines and go to I Love Tacos.
(3)Teresa M.
Very good food, and lots of it! Reasonable prices and good service! I will go back whenever I get a chance and am in the area!
(4)Monica M.
Great food for the price, casual feel and teally convenient and yummy. The place is a total dive but fun to stop by
(4)Erika E.
Love it!!! If you want Mexican fast you don't have to go to a fancy restaurant to do it.
(5)Francesca A.
It's ok. It's a step above Taco Bell but I was really hoping to love this place. I had the chicken enchiladas and the chicken tasted processed and to top it off was cold. I see potential here but they should really try fresh ingredients.
(2)Cid P.
Updated 9-5-13 Upgraded from three to fours stars. I had the #1 Enchilada/Taco combo. Are they the absolute best Tex-Mex? No, of course not. For that you would have to go to Texas. Very filling, very tasty, many selections to choose from and everything is made in house. Yes, I did ask because you can tell the minute you put the first bite in your mouth. From the tomatoes down to the cheese, very fresh and made for you while you wait. A must are their tacos. Sorry to say, you lost one star due to the obvious lack of cleaning. The counter had a pen, food and a lemon wedge visible once you open the door beneath it. #KeepItLocal La comida es sabrosa y muchas opciones de cual escojer. No vayan sin probar los tacos.
(4)Gigi G.
Not authentic Mexican food. Chicken strips? Friendly people, but I'm looking for authentic Mexican food.
(2)Gabriel B.
Very good food. Close to authentic, but not quite there yet. Fast and very friendly service.
(4)Javi S.
Don't be scared when you walk into Taco Shop right off west 49 street in Hialeah. Here is why. It is in the middle of Hialeah for starters, and well, its pretty close to authentic Mexican food and say this because I am not a native Mexican who can make these types of decisions although my best friend who is confirmed that its as close as he can remember to home. Good enough? The menu is full of classic items such as the quesadilla's and tortillas with your choice of meat as well as the burrito. But they also have an expanded menu for the more adventurous folk who want to feel like they are dining in Tijuana. My meal was a platter consisting of a variety of items and the food was above average quality (for the price). But the reason I am giving this shop 4 stars is because it brings you that small town feeling and its just a place you find anymore considering all of these Chipotle and large franchises are trying to put the mom and pops out of business. This joint definitely has earned my fourth star for other reasons such as great customer service, I was greeted by the owner, who was working with his son and prepared our meal in less than 7 minutes. They offered me complimentary sauces (which come in a variety, home style favorite salsa, tomatillo *green* salsa, medium spice and hot spice salsas as well) which are also available on their sauce bar. And lastly, their prices are fair and are pleasant. In today's economic situation considering the prices of almost everything have double 100%, they have still managed to keep costs at a small town price and that's another reason these guys managed to get my fourth star. I am definitely a fan and will be back as the Terminator would say.
(4)Reid H.
My kinda Mexican food. Great selections. Paper plate delicacy. I'll be back with recruits.
(5)Daniel C.
Great fresh Mexican food in Hialeah! Give this place a try, excellent fresh authentic Mexican food. I had the number one, it was amazing.
(5)laura G.
Horrible place!!! Food is not fresh! So gross. Let me start of by saying guacamole is not fresh how is that authentic when u buy the prepackaged stuff and they give you a teaspoon of it. I was expecting guacamole made with fresh avocados like how chipotle makes it down the street but no, very disappointed. Chicken is so terrible and bland absolutely no seasoning. Lettuce taste so old like its stored open for a few days in the fridge... the smell of the lettuce grossed me out. I ordered the quesadilla which is smaller and not as tasty as Taco Bell, I regret spending more money on worst food . Prices are crazy I paid 8.00 dollars for my quesadilla which brings two chips on the side I am not joking it's true and NO drink. Meat taste like it was warmed up not cooked to order. There's no cool sauces they have a sauce bar where u serve yourself sauce but they all taste store bought nothing authentic or amazing just meh!! They served us warm lemonade they don't even care enough to serve ice with there drinks. People there don't smile when they greet you they look fed up with there jobs. This place just seem careless there is no love in there food!!! Go to chipotle you get lots of flavor and you can see the cooks making your food fresh and you get a way bigger portion for about the same price. If you want a cheaper route go to Taco Bell there beef quesadilla is full of flavor. Taco Bell is not authentic but it has so much flavor than this place and it's cheaper. Don't be fooled by the previous reviews that's what got us to go in this place, its overpriced the food has no flavor, it's not fresh and the staff look depressing this place sucks don't waste your time or your money!!!

Honest Mexican food!!

Great Mexican cuisine/ 24 HR. Carne asada is tender and tasty. You can help yourself to the salsa cart for your spicy interests. This constitutes one of my fast food go-to's in the area.

Let me start of by saying, this used to be Roberto's Tacos. I LOVED that place and have many fond memories of the almost 24 hour service. This place though, is superb as well. My Cowboy is VERY particular about his Mexican food and he will brave Hialeah to get to this place! (No offense but the drivers and roads suck in this area) I have had a long standing affair with Mole Sauce and theirs is ON POINT! The steak strips nachos is hands down Orgasmic! All their juices are just like the ones my Aunts and Grandma used to make for us kids, growing up!!! All the dishes we have tried thus far have made us quite happy! The only draw back for us is the very limited parking, where its located , and the spiciest sauce they offer is rather weak. Can't wait to go back!

I am originally from San Diego, CA and I to Miami about 2 months ago. I'm used to eating homemade mexican food on a daily basis and yes Mexican food is my favorite food. Back home there are tacoshops on every corner. We have so many varieties of mexican food. Moving to Miami was a bit of a culture shock for me. Mexican food was an everyday thing for me, until I moved to Miami. I have been on a mission to find a good mexican place since I've been here and after about 4 or 5 different attempts that ended up in failure I was starting to give up until I found this place. This taco shop reminds me of back home, I had rolled tacos and california fries. They don't call them California fries for nothing...The meat was real carne asada, they way it's supposed to be; thin, grilled and lightly seasoned, the guacamole was decent, but what can you expect from a tacoshop. The salsa were like home, they had the green one, the mild red and the hot red, it was heaven. When I took the first bite I almost shed a tear, it was so damn good. The horchata was delish as well. I am so happy that I have finally found place that is of the same quality that I am so used to. I guess I have high expectations when it comes to Mexican food, but what can I say, this is how I was raised. If you are not from Miami or if you are and you feel like eating at a REAL Mexican Tacoshop then this is the place for you.

Great find in Hialeah. There are lots of options from Taco's to Quesadilla's to Burritos and much more. You can tell the food is fresh and made right when you order it. Everyone there is very nice and funny too! They have different salsa's that range from mild to hot, you can choose and try as many as you want. Their guac is REALLY good. I had three tacos for lunch and they were delicious. Thumbs up!

My biggest problem with this place is that the food is always COLD or lukewarm. With that being said, the beans are quite dull & flavorless. The chicken tacos have a strange texture, almost like chicken salad. The carne asada is flavorful, but expect a bit of chewing here & there. Most of their sauces are pleasant tasting. I recommend the wet burrito with carne asada. It's not perfect but it's hearty & has a tasty enchilada-like sauce. The workers at the counter have always been polite as well.

West coaster here and this place is pretty damn good compared to the sea of crappy restaurants in Hialeah. I had the al pastor torta. The al pastor meat wasn't the best I've ever had (shout out to Tacos El Ivan in Sayulita Mexico!), but it did the trick. I think that because of food safety regulations they cant have pork on a spit like they do for greek gyros. The torta was decent, but lacking some sort of jalapeno. Maybe I should have asked. Also, I would have preferred whole avocado instead of guac on it. Anyways, it was pretty damn good for the price. Also, the place was full of Mexicans so that is always a good sign.

Really enjoyed the sampler platter! It's quite a treat!
(4)Lewis M.
Love the place!! When are you gonna start delivering?

If you have a hankering for "Mexican" Mexican food, the Taco Shop should meet your craving. That said, nothing here blew me away. Nothing bad, just A-OK. Beans were decent but really thick. Rice was just like every other average restaurant I've been to (does Sysco make a Mexican rice seasoning? That'd explain it). They do have a salsa bar with decent options, and based on the comments it sounds like the Miami-area is lacking in good Mexican restaurants. If you're heading south, swing through the Homestead area for some kick-ass Mexican comida. Some of the cheap, truly authentic places I go to down there are 10 stars if this place is a 3.

I live in Mexico City four years and i can tell you this place is awesome and the most authentic Mexican food i have had in my area. Their service is amazing, the food is amazing, the people are great. Highly recommend giving it a taste.
(5)Toomie M.
Amazing, super cheap and great good! So random I came across this place. I would not believe how much food I get for so little! The service was great! I definitely recommend this place!
(5)Charles L.
SOO Good. There al pastor burrito is a must.
(5)Katrina G.
This afternoon I had lunch with my coworker which happens to be Mexican. He said the food was delicious and I completely agree with him on that one. If this is coming from a true Mexican, you already know the food here is DELICIOUS! I had 3 Al pastor tacos de carne asada and a chicken enchilada, WOW! It definitely tickled my taste buds, the food was filled with flavor. I highly recommend eating at the taco shop, the food is great, fresh and not to mention cheap!
(4)Carla M.
This is real mexican food in miami! I'm from California and have been living near miami for a year now, and this place is legit mexican food lol, servers are friendly and the cook knows how to cook! So happy to have found a Mexican restaurant near us!!
(5)Iyali R.
PROS- My boyfriend and I were in the mood for real deal authentic Mexican food, but we'd had very bad luck finding a restaurant that serves it, up until this point. So we decided to stop at this TACO SHOP and see for ourselves. Let me tell you, the food here is great! I had the Chile Relleno with the Sopa De Arroz which also comes with an Enchilada. If you don't want the Cheese Enchilada you can also replace it with a Chicken or Beef Taco. This is the first time outside of home I've tried a Chile Relleno that is as good as my mom makes! I am Mexican, so I really look to find food that is just like home. This place is it! On a side note, my boyfriend had the wet burrito, the fiesta platter and the shrimp tacos. They were all to die for! I must also mention that the prices are VERY reasonable since they do serve you A LOT of food. The rice is awesome and so are the beans! The tacos de carne asada are TOO GOOD! Once you walk in, it is very Mexican! There are sombreros everywhere and there is also fun facts about Mexico on the tables you eat in, for those who don't know! My boyfriend and I are very picky when it comes to food! So this place is a huge thumbs up! Go and see for yourself! CONS- P.S: The ONLY reason why I gave it 4 stars, is because the first time we went there, we got chips. The second time around, we didn't get offered any chips. Chips are important! :) So if you decide to go, make sure you ask for them if you don't get them!
(4)Melanie B.
Excellent customer service, also I really enjoyed the food there. It's not really common to find a good Mexican restaurant in hialeah. Super cheap I wil be coming back more often I really enjoyed everything about this place.
(5)Philip K.
This place is great! I've had many different items and pretty much everything has been good. Prices are good (although they just went up a bit) and the service is fast. The restaurant is large and has plenty if seating. They have one if those condiment bars with various hot sauces and the mixed pickled jalapeños, onions, and carrots. Love that stuff. It's on the main strip in Hialeah with some parking in the front and a bunch more out back. Can be a pain to get to with traffic at certain times of the day. Also, it is located next to a really good dessert/cupcake shop. If you like Mexican, it is definitely worth a stop if you are in the Hialeah area!
(5)Joe T.
The best taco shop in south florida so far!!!! Fiesta platter amd tacos al pastor are off tha hook, Love the pickled carrots...
(5)Kathy E.
The best Mexican food we've had ,bar none! Wet Burrito/ tacos/ amazing! Very authentic/ they have a variety of dishes They even have margaritas and coronas
(5)Antonio A.
Cool place. Lots to choose from. Yummy fresh homemade food. Plus fast, friendly service. I'd give it 4 stars but it's a little too Americanized for me. I place my order for a chimichanga with "Steak" because the board doesn't say carne asada. (I had first confirmed that it was indeed carne asada first because I wasn't too sure) I then look over at the drink selection, point at the magenta drink and ask for a Agua de Jamaica. He tells me it's Fruit Punch :'( ::tear:: I point at the yellow one and ask for Piña, he says it's Lemonade. My heart sinks a little more. So I get a cup of water :( We sit down. Munch munch munch. Yummy food. Grabbed a chocolate & coconut covered banana on the way out for like a buck fifty and it made my day.
(4)Dora M.
Best chimicanga EVER! Any other chimicanga I've ever tasted always disappoints compared to this one. The nachos with meat is delicous. The horchata is the best! I've been going here for the past 10 years or longer when they were first known as Robertos Taco Shop. I'm half mexican and no other Mexican restaurant can compare. This is like tasting my moms mexican food. Pure deliciousness!
(4)Danny d.
Two co-workers an I went for lunch on a Tuesday. We took our time looking over the expansive menu and let others by. We decided on tacos, quesadillas, and an al Pastor (marinated pork) plate. The food was brought out quickly and it was hot. The rice and beans were good, the corn tortillas soft and delicious with the tacos and al Pastor plate. The great, fresh sauces went perfectly with the chips. There is a big variety of food and authentic Mexican food items (cookies, little cakes, etc) to pick from. We will definitely be back!!!
(5)Nunya G.
This place actually use to be a Roberto's Taco Shop. The food is great reminds me of Taco Shops in Vegas.
(5)Nina V.
AUTHENTIC MEXICAN! Finally a place where I can eat food and feel like it was actually cooked by a Mexican native. The staff is very friendly and always willing to suggest dishes. The place is a little dated, but the food definitely makes up for it. Their beef nachos are the best! And don't forget to grab a Mexican Pepsi!
(5)Cristina W.
This taco shop is the real deal!! Nothing fancy nor overly seasoned w/cumin. Everything came out yummy, decent size portions, and the prices are excellent. They serve real, authentic Mexican food. We went here w/a groupon and were very impressed by the great service and cuisine. I would definitely come here again! It's on the busy W 49 street, so i'll remember not to go during rush hour traffic. :)

This place wins the "So Good I Want to Scream it from the Mountaintop" Award! As my Yelp check-ins can attest, I went to LOT of taco shops while in SoCal this summer, and this place is better than most I found there. I'm not even exaggerating. I will preface this by describing what was in these blessed tacos: I got the grilled chicken, which included pico de gallo, cilantro, guacamole, and sour cream. I'm about to tear up just reflecting on the beauty. (I never get lettuce, but that comes in them if you prefer.) It doesn't sound like much, but they stuffed those babies till they sang. Oh, and did they sing! Pair it with a strawberry Fanta and you're in Heaven, my friend. Situated between a funeral home and a KFC, Taco Shop Mexican Grill is a very casual, cafeteria-style restaurant complete with salsa bar. Holy crap, the salsa!! I try to preserve myself by not diving into the hot stuff while on big trips, so I went with the mild red salsa, which was more than just pica de gallo. It was sweet and to-freakin'-die-for! For those who love hot salsa, I'm sure this place can suit your needs, because on the big wall to the right was the results from the shop's BURRITO VS MAN Challenge. On one side, the Wall of Fame, on the other, the Wall of Shame. Though my trip back up North doesn't run past this place, I'm almost tempted to re-route my return trip just to stop in again. It's about a fifteen minute drive from Hialeah Park Race Track, so you have a perfect spot to stop following a gorgeous day at the races. All in all, a perfect day.

Authentic Mexican- my favorite Tacos: Carne asada and al Pastor. Yummy tortilla soup and Rice Horchata.
(4)Immer R.
I had three little bundles of taco joy here on a Sunday night and the best Horchata I've tasted since Chicago. The tacos al pastor are a definite must. They have a fresh Salsa bar with what must have been like 8 or 9 different homemade salsas; my favorites were the Tomatillo Salsa and their House Mild. I must warn you, the place doesn't look like much, but don't let that stop you...Taco Shop is the place for great authentic Mexican in the Hialeah/Miami Lakes area.

Nice food. We are tourists visiting Miami... We have searched for Mexican restaurant on Yelp and tried it. We are glad we had tried here.. Salsa is awesome.. Nachos is best that I have tasted so far... Coke is $2...kind of on high side of my expectations...Other than that no complaints....Excellent food...
(5)Bob N.
Excellent, traditional Mexican food. Inexpensive. Great salsa, too!
(5)Natalie L.
The most authentic mexican food you can probably find in Hialeah. They used to be just okay, but now I believe they're under new management or something and they've completely revamped the restaurant. It's a little whole in the wall, but it's sooooo delicious! The prices are great, the service is good. Definitely love this place.
(4)Leonardo Q.
It was great! As authentic as your going to get in Hialeah! I ordered chicken quesadilla and two chicken tacos. The quesadilla was pretty big. Very cheesy and chicken tasted fresh. The chicken tacos - tasted super fresh! Could taste all the ingredients. Definitely going back! Beats going to Chipotle and making thatit long ass line for frozen preserved food. Yuck!
(5)Angela N.
Best real authentic Mexican food! Finally I found a great Mexican restaurant in south Florida! :)
(5)Mario G.
I came here with some friends and had the Chicken Plate. I wasn't very hungry so I barely ate. The prices were great (comparable to Taco Bell) and the food was decent. Fresh? Yes! The actual restaurant leaves a lot to be desired, but it's worth a visit for lunch or take out!
(3)Yaxel C.
Well i ordered the #5 Beans Burrito and Enchiladas as well as the steak quesadilla to go. The steak quesadillas were great except 2 pieces of tendon in them, apparently they do not trim their steaks correctly, the bean burrito and enchilada i could have done without!! Definitely coming back for a steak quesadilla!!
(5)Chuck W.
Look no further for real Mexican food.
(5)Joanie M.
in Hialeah on business and ordered from the Taco Shop to be delivered to my hotel. It was fantastic. Really fantastic food!
(4)Steph V.
The best place for authentic Mexican food. The horchata is delicious. Everything in the menu is delicious. And its open 24/7!
(5)Katie T.
Best Mexican food in ALL of Miami Dade County!!!!! Lived here 27 years and this is the first place that I can say tastes as good as the Mexican food in Southern California. The prices are cheap and the food is amazing! Werd!
(5)Matt J.
Good food friendly staff. First time had the Tortas Carne Asada sandwhich. Steak could have been seasoned more but still a good sandwhich.
(4)Tracy T.
Great place for Mexican food. Fast, good and cheap. Had the sampler plate. Great salsa bar from mild to hot HOT. Their guacamole is more of sauce than a dip.
(4)GLORIA G.
The Mexican food is fresh and delicious. They make a really good horchata.

Horrible place!!! Food is not fresh! So gross. Let me start of by saying guacamole is not fresh how is that authentic when u buy the prepackaged stuff and they give you a teaspoon of it. I was expecting guacamole made with fresh avocados like how chipotle makes it down the street but no, very disappointed. Chicken is so terrible and bland absolutely no seasoning. Lettuce taste so old like its stored open for a few days in the fridge... the smell of the lettuce grossed me out. I ordered the quesadilla which is smaller and not as tasty as Taco Bell, I regret spending more money on worst food . Prices are crazy I paid 8.00 dollars for my quesadilla which brings two chips on the side I am not joking it's true and NO drink. Meat taste like it was warmed up not cooked to order. There's no cool sauces they have a sauce bar where u serve yourself sauce but they all taste store bought nothing authentic or amazing just meh!!
