El Taquito ll

I just left and had to leave a review. The food was absolutely amazing. It tasted so fresh and flavorful. The service was really great and attentive. I would recommend eating outside because it's like an oven inside, but the outside seating was decorated nicely with good music playing. If you're on vacation and want some good food I'd recommend this place 100%Special mention: the chicharron was fresh, hot, and delicious!

Me encantó este lugar el servicio es excelente y Aylin supo cómo consentirnos, la comida estuvo fabulosa el ambiente estuve espectacular; definitivamente los mejores chicharrones y quesadilla como el taquito ninguno.

El Taquito was on our last stop on the Little Havana street, and we were excited to try their Mexican cuisine. We ordered the Veggie Taco Bowls, and added extra beans to that order.The restaurant is beautifully decorated with statues frogs in the front which the kids enjoyed.The Veggie Taco Bowls were very good and presented nicely. I wish they had added more beans, since we paid extra for them. Maybe a language thing.Overall, we enjoyed our meal at El Taquito, and the service was good. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, and the food was delicious and well-prepared. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Mexican cuisine in Little Havana.I would ask for a printed receipt since depending on the size of the group the tip is already included and the electronic bill gadget does not show that and you might end up double tipping.

Just left here and let's just say I won't be back. I get it's a holiday but the wait time is ridiculous. Sat down had to wait 15 mins to get acknowledged. Took our order. Got a Birria pizza, guacamole and a burrito. One hour passed and no food has come to our table. When the food arrived it was the birria pizza. Guacamole was the last thing to come out and it wasn't even all that. Birria pizza was tasty but 1.5 hours just two get something that's is fats to cook is ridiculous. Also went to the counter and they were thawing chicken out in the sink. I will be calling someone or even speak to a manager or corporate because this is ridiculous and someone can get sick.

This was one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the Little Havana area. Not any more. Today we went back after several times there. It "Changed", menu, prices , quality and quantity. The food and appetizers came out in an incorrect sequence. Meats in the fajitas were dry and charred. The guacamole dish was more chips than anything. When questioned, the waitress coped an attitude. She replaced herself right away, instead of trying to redeem herself. Therefore it's not the same anymore. We did not even bother to take pics, something I enjoy doing when we dine out , if it's worthy. We will opt next time for a different Mexican restaurant.

If nothing else is open, then ok - I guess, but I wouldn't purposely return.THE PLACE: Located in Little Havana, plenty of street parking is available. El taquito is very well decorated, is clean, organized and has a great "mom & pop" feel to it.THE FOOD: The food options are typical, on my visit, I have 3 al pastor tacos. 1/5 edible yes, but were very dry, no sauce, barely any pineapple and the meat was straight-up burned. I have to take out many charred pieces. Not to mention I paid 12 dollars for 3 mediocre street tacos with no sides. THE SERVICE: Staff seemed overwhelmed but were ice and worked quickly.

When I list an item in my "Late Night Gourmet" list, it means a place that typically does not have white table cloth service and space isn't a premium. However, it's not a knock on the food. It's a lifesaver after a drink (or 3) or conversely a quick lunch during the day when you're starving and don't feel like being boogie. On all of those counts, El Taquito II fits the bill! I stopped by for a bite with friends after a nearby Yelp event and we snagged two tables in the cozy inside as well as some bar seating. The soundtrack was tropical I believe (the drinks were pretty good from the earlier event :) , the seats were backless stools and our waitress pretty decent. But the conversation and jokes with our crew was the best.My sustenance was their "Ahogado" chicken burrito; a sizable and deliciously cheesy & sloppy tortilla with cilantro, plenty of cheese, salsa verde and a decent amount of chicken pieces. I believe chips and salsa would have been extra, though the salsa verde tasted good.All In a all El Taquito is a solid spot for a quick bite in Little Havana.

Terrible service. Beautiful location but the service was bad. The cooks had better service than the front. The sweet lady cooks looked concerned about what was going on and at least looked at us unlike the rest. They even alerted them that we are waiting even though they know that. Food was delicious. The drinks were not great at all. My spicy margarita tasted super sweet. We waited 20 minutes to get a server. I don't know what they had going on but they had no manners or respect for the guests. Two tables in front. The whole time they were all arguing over something. I felt like I was in a reality show. I left very disappointed and will never return because of the treatment. I would've left but I stayed for my stubborn friend. Service is the number one thing. My server had a bad attitude and was basically rushing when were paying and not even at least a smile or thank you goodbye nothing. My friend was telling me about this place and we were super excited to check it out so this is definitely a let down. And especially for the prices as well.

Wow. Amazing. Took my cousin here visiting from Mexico and thought why not just try and see if it tastes like our grandmas. To our surprise it might have surpassed her tamales but we asked to keep that on the low. Amazing service followed by amazing food. I wouldn't miss it.

We thought it was great! Best guac, yummy beans and birra tacos. It's hot in here but worth it. Order a frozen marg and you'll be golden!
