Super 7: Best Mexican Restaurants in Miami
From a Michelin-starred spot in the Grove to a weekend market deep in the Redlands, here's where to find Miami's best Mexican cooking right now
Editor's note: This list is focused mainly on Mexican restaurants, not taquerias. So before I get an onslaught of hate emails, please keep that in mind. Our plans are to run a taco guide at some point, but today is not that day.
Also inspired by Matt’s post on free Mexican chips and salsa, we've noted below if each spot offers them complimentary or not.
Don Maguey
Angelica spent years at Mi Rinconcito Mexicano before she and Chef Daniel Zeledón opened this cozy spot called Don Maguey on West Flagler in 2021.The aguachile with shrimp, fish, and pomegranate is bright and worth starting with. The Oaxacan mole is the star– deeply complex, the kind that takes days to build, best ordered over the enmoladas. The quesabirria tacos and the short rib tacos have built their own following. Tortillas are made in-house, ingredients come from Mexico, but sadly, no free chips and salsa.
Pro Tip: Breakfast is also offered here daily. @donmagueymiami
