I found out about this place when I was reading a Miami Herald article a while back on how workers from nearby Escopazzo italian restaurant would come here for a quick break thanks to cheap Italian tacos. And yes, Italian tacos... so I was intrigued to find out more about this place! You order 5 tacos or more for a dollar each - or you pay $1.50 each if you're getting less than 5. And since I wasn't hungry, I ordered two tacos - the roast beef and the proscuitto filling. And what did I get? A minuscule slice of roast beef and proscuitto. And I literally mean a minuscule and thin slice of each. Thankfully these smallish tacos were filled up with veggies, but I felt a bit scammed at $1.50 each - the $1 pricing makes better sense, but these were tiny and skimpy! 4 bites, and they both were gone! So luckily for me, I ordered an arepa, Venezuelan style, as well. These arepas ($2.99 + extra for more fillings) were made a bit too condensed for my liking - you can tell since when sliced, the inside were literally flat and the fillings could easily slide out - that's a no-no in my book. Flavorwise though, it was decent but maybe that was because I asked for a reina pepeada which they didn't have but attempted to make (it's avocado, chicken, mayo, etc). Not the best I've had, and I may not even return for that unless if I was desperate. The arepas would probably be better at Charlotte Bakery, if it's offered there. If I would return, I probably would order something else. Maybe the piadine ($5.99 to $8.99) which looks like an Italian quesadilla. But let's hope they don't skimp on that as well.
