LA CATRINA – Mexican
West Kendall's taco specialist, and the Miami New Times' pick for Best Tacos in both 2021 and 2023. The birria is the reason most people are here — chicken or steak, griddled with cheese, onion and cilantro, with a cup of consomé on the side for dipping — backed by al pastor with pineapple and cotija, ribeye tacos, mulitas and the pizzadilla the kitchen is known for. It runs evenings and stays open late on weekends. Come hungry, order more than you meant to, and dip everything.
