Hosts and cooks don't speak English. Rice in my burrito was either stale or not cooked enough. I complained when asked how my meal was. Everyone just looked at each other in confusion. I threw my meal away and walked out. Not worth the headache. Don't waste your time here

I was in Miami for 5 day vacation and came to this place twice. All of the various tacos I had were great! I really enjoyed the Crispy Pescado that had pineapple on it. The Guaco was my second fav. So much yummy guac and veggies. It is an inexpensive spot in Miami beach where it seems like most meals cost a small fortune. Everyone that I was vacationing with also loved this place. The only thing that could improve was their seating. It's kind of small and only outside. However it is still a great spot with a good experience with knowledgable cashiers that are willing to help you order and nice wait staff.

I eat at Huahua's at least weekly, and I am a huge fan. If you want to go with Mexican-esque food, your best options on the beach are: a) Taquiza's on Collins for tacos; b) Bodega on 16th for tortas; c) Huahua's on Lincoln for meat burritos; d) MyCeviche on Washington in SoFi for seafood burritos [the octopus burrito is the best thing I've eaten from a takeout place in SoBe]. Huahua's holds a special place in my heart for not once getting my name right. I have been 20+ times and had them call me: Pesten; Bracten; Poston; Bresten; Justice; Cristian. It's a treat to try to guess what they'll call me next! I go to Huahua's for one thing and one thing only: the carnitas burrito. In a world of many food options, you can look to other places to do tacos, tortas, salad, and seafood better. The carnitas burrito is the best thing on the menu. Don't get the tacos. Come on, man! Go to Taquiza. What I like so much about Huahua's burritos is that they press them on the grill, which brings them to a level Chipotle fans could only dream of. Also, in the carnitas burrito they use cabbage which is totally unexpected and awesome. Also, the hot sauces are on point. The jalabanero is my favorite, along with the Huahua's original. Service is fine, except for the fact that they can't get my name right (PRO TIP: look at my credit card. It's listed there). Usually I'm going off-hours and things are quick.

Really good Taqueria! I hate the tourist spots all over Miami with basic food and everything being over priced. Found This spot because of watching Guy fieri show on the food network. Everything we had was really on point will be back every time I'm in Miami.

Update! Yum! Have been eating at Huahuas and I have to say they deserve an extra star. Haven't had a complaint. Fast, fresh and delicious, my go too for tacos.

The tacos are ok but outrageously pricey for what you get. That would be the case even if they had table service, but the place is really a takeout joint with outside tables that are often not wiped clean. They have beer for $5-$6 a bottle, but cannot make micheladas. Their fixin's counter is always a mess and they have trimmed their fixin options to only 2 kinds of their own sauces. No Salsa, Tabasco, Tapatio or Cholula. The only thing that keeps them in business is the location which is good for people watching (hence the 2 stars).

Tacos with flair. Very nicely done - taking basic tacos and adding some sophistication - and reasonably priced, especially for South Beach. The avocado tacos are tasty. They offer more than tacos. The elote is very good. Primarily takeout with a a patio outside. Has a few tables inside.

Had my eye on this restaurant for quite sometime and was finally able to give it a try last week. It's located close to Lincoln road, tables are outside...nice and laidback atmosphere. I tried the mushrooms and fried fish tacos and both were really good, a Lil bit on the spicy side...but nothing I couldn't handle, and of course I took advantage of the yelp offer which is a free queso blanco and chips..which was really good as well...the chips were crisp and the queso blanco dip was rich and quite tasty. Service was fast and friendly.

Love this place! I'm Mexican and I have to say that they are not real Mexican tacos...but they are the best tacos I've ever tried in Miami. You must try the fried chicken tacos, the elote, the mac and queso, the shrimp salad, and the nachos!!! Oh, and for dessert the arroz con leche paleta is delicious!!!

We were in Miami for the South Beach Food & Wine Festival and stopped by Huahua's on the recommendation of a friend who lives in town. The strawberry margarita was 5 stars and I typically don't care for margs. It wasn't overly sweet and it was deceivingly alcoholic. I also ordered the grilled steak and grilled mahi tacos on corn tortillas which were both great. The jalapeños on the grilled steak were spicy - just how I like them - but I could see how some people may think they are too intense. My only complaint with the experience is we placed our order then we're waiting outside for at least 20-25 minutes before the arrive at our table. But we somehow ended up with an extra carnitas taco after we asked one of the staff members about our order so they may have sent it as an apology for the wait.

This place really exceeded my expectations! The Mexican corn was AMAZING, perfectly prepared. You can taste every flavor in each bite! The tacos were great. My favorite were the grilled steak.. I also tried the carnitas and the grilled chicken. So good! Must try if you're in the area.

Linh D.
I really liked this place, even if it's probably a bit overpriced for what it is. It's away from the main strip but worth the short walk for the food. The corn is very good, as is the mahi taco. The breakfast one is good but maybe too greasy and the chicken one didn't have enough flavour. Largely great but maybe a bit overpriced.

Can I say small & disorganized oh & dirty. I'm so sad I brought my boyfriend for fish tacos here. I thought I was taking his out for a treat boy was I was wrong. The selection is pretty wide but very odd toppings in each & when we asked the lady to take out toppings she didn't understand until I told here 5 times :(. The chicken tacos are yummy but the sauce is very spice. They can automatically included a cup of water with each other since spice tacos are there thing. You can be told what you want to make the section process simpler. There are nearly any tables to seat at so please don't expect a table to be available. This peace has potentially but it needs a lot of love & revamping.

Someone cure me of my Huahua's addiction. Speedy service and delicious tacos - seriously, the waiters and waitresses are amazingly efficient at managing an influx of orders. My go-to dishes are the breakfast taco (substantial) + the shrimp taco. While some might be put off by the pulsing club music they tend to play on their speakers - well, it's Miami. My friends visiting from out of town even risked missing their outbound flight to get one last taste of Huahua's savory goodness. The store also provides iPhone chargers, which is always greatly appreciated!

Dre B.
Not really a tacos guy but came here with a couple of friends and liked the food. High quality ingredients and it filled me up, surprisingly. Funny thing is someone else with me ordered the friend chicken tacos and I hadn't even noticed them on the menu. Which means I have to come back to try that before I go fully vegan!

Laurys B.
I honestly don't even go to huahua's for their tacos. I go there specifically for the elote and the free cheese & chips you get when you check in(AMAZING). Don't get me wrong, their tacos are good. They're just not worth the price. The elote, on the other hand, is the BEST. I've had it several times and it's always on point. The mayo, cilantro, and cheese added on top of the elote is a perfect combination of flavors. The parking as well as the lack of seating are the reasons why huahua's is getting three stars from me. It's impossible to find a place to sit most of the time.

Just amazing! This place left me and my boyfriend in love. I ordered the fried chicken/fish tacos and a elotes and it was just amazing that we went back the second day vacationing in south beach. The service is great the tacos were juicy and cooked amazing. I highly suggest this to EVERYONE and the pricing is not bad at all unlike other fancy places who have decent food plates for so expensive. All I have to say is this was the best Mexican place I tried in my life for tacos and their elotes.
(5)
Mair M.
My new favorite Mexican place on south beach! It's different that other Mexican restaurants. The tacos are so different but SO YUMMY!!! the first thing to get is the Elote corn!! OMG this is DELISH!! the seasoning they put on the corn is addictive. At first when the cashier recommended The fried chicken tacos...I was a little skeptical but I am so glad I listened. Very different but tasty!! It's a large Fried chicken piece inside a soft taco with coleslaw. A must try!!

Upon visiting Miami Beach, I was told from every local here that the tacos were off the hook, out of this world, and the only reason people move here. All of these statements apply directly to HuaHua's Taqueria. Do you want a taco that is as innovative as it is beautiful? Then this is where you fall in love. The fried chicken taco goes straight to your heart with it's jalapeno cornbreadedness and delicioso specialty sauce. But don't think that's their only big bang item. Every taco on the menu was put together by a mad scientist. Specifically, Giovanni and his team. Oh did I mention the sauces? Don't eat your taco naked, dress it up with some Serrano Limon. Go here twice or thrice or make it your everyday lunch. Try as many menu items as you can and thank Giovanni for his gift to Miami Beach. It's your lunch and you can sing if you want to.

Very sad to be writing this but for the past few months Huahuas has gone from my favorite taco joint to the taco joint that is half-assing it all. The ingredients have decreased in quality, the tacos are much smaller, and out of the 20 different types of original sauces they offered, only 3 are left that have been watered down in sketchy dispensers. With two new taquerias on the beach that have impressed me with their innovative skills and quality (Taquiza and Bodega) these guys at Huahuas have to step it up and go back to basics.

This cute little spot is tucked away on the outskirts of the armpit of the beach AKA Lincoln Rd. Small and hidden, this gem offers some of the best Mexican grub this girl has ever tasted. For reals. Their queso blanco and chips were excellent, the cheese was so creamy and so tasty. The guac was chunky and filled with little zings of jalapeño deliciousness. The pollo al pastor taco was super tender and the chunks of pineapple were oh so sweet which went so perfectly with the tanginess of the pastor seasoning/sauce. My absolute favorite and the dish I can't stop talking/dreaming/obsessing about is their fried chicken taco - fried. chicken. taco. This magnificent creation is nothing short of genius... a beautifully fried, juicy chicken tender topped with some sort of ranch, cabbage, cilantro and jalapeño cornbread chunks. To die for. My husband had a burrito which he enjoyed, but I didn't pay much attention since I was having a passionate love affair with my fried chicken taco. Staff is attentive and very friendly. The place is small, they offer some high top bar like seating inside and just a couple of tables outside. It is a definitely worth the long drive and crappy beach parking. We will soon become regulars.

Omg! When I tell you these were the best soft tacos I ever had and i only care for hard tacos! This place is perfecto! I dream about going to Miami just for the corn and tacos! The corn on the cob is seasoned to perfection with the best cheese and it's melted to perfection! This was our first stop once we got to Miami and got settled and I couldn't have chosen a better spot! Our trip was in April and I'm just getting a chance to write a review because I've been busy but I couldn't let time lapse any further! Initially our fried chicken taco was overcooked but they didn't hesitate to fix it for us do they still get 5 stars despite the minor setback!

Edgar S.
I'm Mexican and I know a good taco when I eat one lol. I didn't think I was gonna find good tacos in Miami till I found this lil spot. I had the fish taco, alpastor and steak taco and a corn on the cob everything was good ass hell!! Specially the fish taco that shit was bomb! The steak was nice and tender the alpastor was good. And they put some kind of sauce that's went well with the tacos. A must try in my opinion!

Of course for my first time I gotta pick stuff that my fellow yelpees recommend!! So after getting out of our movie I already planned what I was going to get: -Free chips & queso for checking in (yee!) -Elote -Fried chicken taco, shrimp taco, Guaco taco. I'm sad. The cashier said they ran out of the Elote AND Guaco taco :'( So instead I got the carnitas taco. Fried chicken & shrimp tacos were so delicious! Carnitas was nothing special, pretty bland I ended up giving half to my bf. He also got the chicken& shrimp which he loved but the steak taco wasn't anything special. Overall pretty good, chill spot for a late bite or super casual lunch or dinner. I need to go back for this damn Elote & guaco taco!

The food is yummy and the service is great for this "fast food" type of place...I'm always asking them to take or ad something to my orders since I don't agree 100% with their combinations but they are always super cool about it. Kinda sucks to seat outside now during the day with all the construction in Miami Beach but it's not their fault :(

I haven't tried many taco places but Huahua's met my taste from the beginning. It's fair in price, tastes fresh and is fast. I recommend the grilled shrimp taco and the fried chicken taco, just delicious. I can't get enough, and although appetite can be nearly infinite, two or three tacos are enough to make you filled and happy. Awesome guys, keep it up, you're doing excellent!!!

Love Huahuas. A CONSISTANTLY delicious local taco joint, separated from the normal Lincoln Road draw. My fave is the Breakfast Taco. I've tried almost all of them and they are all delish! The crispy fish and guaco taco and pastor are also favorites! Quick, consistent, dog-friendly (Huahua!), delicioso tacos!

Krystal S.
First off, this place has a "Los Verdes" and "Los Perros" vibe to it except with mexican food instead of colombian food. Its delicious food, served fast and opened late! Sounds like a winner to me! I ordered the crispy pescado which was a small soft taco with breaded fish, pico de gallo and cabbage... it was so delicious! I squeezed some lime into it and a few drops of the hot sauces they have at hand and I was in 'late night eats' love! I also ordered the half order of the elote which is half a corn on the cob smothered in a certain cheese and spices. I only ordered the half because I had never tried corn made this way, but after i ate the half I got up to order a whole elote this time... it was THAT good! I definitely recommend this spot for a late night eat!

Deep fried avocados on guac on tacos? Wait, what. Vegetarians go for the Guaco because it has no meat, but you should go for it because of the fried avocado over guac over grilled veggie combo. Drizzled with spicy tofu crema - it's like the nutrituous version of heaven. The elote (mexican corn) is out of control. Stop by for a quick, tasty and filling taco lunch. I went the way of the lunch special with two Al Pastor tacos (charred pinapple, onions, cilantro, crema) and half an elote and a soft drink for the price of three tacos.

Jenn S.
The highlight of my trip to miami! We tried the mahi mahi, fried chicken, and guaco (fried avocado) and loved all of them so much, we had to come back again. The free queso and chips (with Yelp check in) was also delicious. Elote corn was good, but not mind blowing; save your stomach for the fried chicken tacos. Reasonably priced tacos at 3 of one kind for $11. Can't wait to come back. :)

After an amazing Elite event where this restaurant really catered to us I could not wait to go and try some of their dishes. A friend and I went for a late lunch. From the moment you walk in you are warmly greeted by a very friendly staff. Very small inside with a counter top with a few chairs. No problem sit outside and enjoy our beautiful weather this time of the year. They have quite a few tables outside. The menu is not large at all. We ordered queso dip and chips to start. The queso was very tasty, a bit runny, I prefer a bit thicker but the taste was quite good. The chips were fresh, thin and crispy. I ordered the fried chicken taco and short rib taco. Both my taco's were great. From the drizzles of sauces and ingredients that they combine on their taco's make them unique. This is not your typical fast food Mexican. I found it to be gourmet Mexican. The prices are not cheap but well worth the $3 and change for a great tasting taco. We also ordered the frozen margarita's, not a fan of them. Having said that I do prefer on the rocks and the Margaritas from Haven were awesome, same owners I have been told. When you walk in they have a shelf of many different hot sauces to choose from. Woah, I tried a very hot one #18, it will make you cry....well almost. Great service, cool place with good food for a quick enjoyable meal.

Yum! This was my second time here. I tried the carnitas, pollo al pastor, fried chicken and shrimp. Food came out pretty quickly. My favourite was the carnitas but all were good. The corn cob is also a must. We got the lime margaritas for happy hour and they were good too and very reasonably priced.

There is a Taco God. And he/she lives in the kitchen at Huahua's. Start with the Elote, a sensual marriage of grilled mexican corn + spicy mayo + cotija cheese + cilantro.. If I could just eat copious amounts of Elote, I would.. But then the Tacos start signing their siren song. Grilled Mahi - best fish taco in Miami Beach. a nice portion of freshly grilled fish + chili lime vinaigrette Guaco - a creative way to showcase fried avocado (!) Chili Rubbed Shrimp - if the Shrimp is the rub, the Jicama is the tug (and crunch) Fried Chicken - JUST SLAP ME IN THE FACE AND BRING ME MORE. NOW. Breakfast - like a warm hug.. my favorite for late Fri/Sat night, or a perfect hangover cure the next afternoon The supporting cast consists of beers-I-drink-when-on-a-beach-vacation, margaritas, plus Jarritos and MexiCoke. Go here now. And bring your dog, because they have treats behind the counter for the lil guy (!)

This is my go to "I don't know what I want for dinner and don't want to cook" restaurant. All of the tacos are good and the prices are reasonable. I usually get the salad with chicken and grilled veggies. The salad is a blend of romaine, kale, and cabbage so it has a nice consistency and crunch to it. They have a great homemade dressing. For tacos, I would recommend them all but the fried fish and breakfast taco in particular. make sure you check out the sauce bar. They usually have 4 or so homemade sauces with varying flavors and spicyniesses. Good food and you can usually get out of there with 3 tacos and a beer for less than $15. Not bad for south beach, especially on Lincoln.

Jonah K.
Decided while in south beach to give this place a go. It's been on my to try list for a long time. The staff were nice, we ordered from the counter. The folks delivering our food were extremely confused, but it was sorted out. We tried some of the tacos and other apps. This place just doesn't deserve the ratings it gets. I found the food to be generally bland and not particularly well done. There is almost no indoor seating, and some outdoor seating. I'm someone who eats a good amount of Mexican I cook myself, and in other cities around the country where they have good Mexican food. Unfortunately in Miami there isn't much to choose from.

I'd been eagerly awaiting Huahua's opening since sampling a delicious fried chicken taco at HaVen a while back, and finally made it over for lunch on a recent weekday. All the taco offerings (and starters and enchiladas) sounded great. Between a friend and I, we ordered the crispy pescado, the chili rubbed shrimp, and the breakfast taco, the elote, and guac and chips. The guac was tasty, but had a bit too much lime for my liking. The elote was great - grilled corn smothered in cotija cheese and spices. As for the tacos, of the 3 we had, the crispy pescado was my favorite. The breakfast taco was good, but could've used a second tortilla to make it easier to eat. Prices are reasonable - you can easily get a filling meal for $10-12 a person. One misstep - they charge $1.50 for a little side of sour cream. A little unreasonable, if you ask me. Definitely looking to checking out more of Huahua's menu, including some frozen drink that I enviously eyed on neighboring patrons' tables.

Picture this: A girl's weekend on Lincoln Road. What a gorgeous November day spent dodging plump jellyfish and tanning our bodacious booties on South Beach. Later in the afternoon towards dusk, we take a stroll down Lincoln rocking our sexy tan lines, popping in and out of the tourist shops (many selling winter clothing surprisingly - WTF). All of this action works up a thirst and hunger that only a margarita and some tacos can satisfy. We make a quick happy hour pit stop at Rosa Mexicano (see review) and take advantage of their epic "Hora Feliz" specials. The house margarita is made with Pepe Lopez and unfortunately that dude ain't no friend of mine. 1800 Silver is always a crowd pleaser. So, I drink about four of these and then head over to Huahua's, or as my friend Kim refers to it, "Who-ha's" (LOL). Huahau's is a well-oiled, street taco making machine. Even though this place sits on Lincoln Road, they have the unpretentious, chill vibe of Wynwood. A few tables are scattered outside - more outside then in. The menu is simple - all the usual stuff, salsa, guac, cheese dip as well as their signature tacos and burritos. By the time we arrive, I am literally starving and quickly order the first few tacos that catch my attention - the Hongos Magicos (portobello, grilled veggie and tofu creme), the Grilled Mahi with radish, cilantro and chili-lime vinaigrette and finally, the fried chicken taco with jalapeno cornbread, cabbage, ancho ranch and cilantro. Each one better than the last with the clear winner being the fried chicken taco. This was just a VIP party in my mouth and the guest list includes Taco - party of 3. I grabbed a few hot sauce samples and doused everything with the spicy fire water. I had to cool off my tongue with some Modelo. I finished inhaling the tacos and belched loudly - a compliment to the chef! Tacos are $3.49-$3.99 depending on what you fancy - beef, chicken, fried fish or veggie. They have something for everyone and the price is right. I see can easily see more of Huahua's in my near future.

Anything less than 5 stars for this place is crazy. It's a small taco place so you will prob end up sitting outside. The ambience isn't anything magical but the food is! The food is UNDER-priced for the quality especially on Lincoln road. You must get: Mahi Mahi Taco Fried Chicken Taco Steak Taco And definitely the Elote (corn w aioli and cheese) It's a nice mix of authentic Mexican with American twists on the menu. All of the tacos seemed to have big pieces of meat so the taco doesn't fall apart all over you when you eat it. They also have a big variety of hot sauces.

Note to self: never order another jalapeño cornbread ever again. Number one, it is not corn bread, it is something loosely related to corn bread, and number two, it has jalapeños in it, making the supposedly sweet treat into a fire bomb. I have searched relentlessly for the good balance of jalapeño and corn bread, but whenever corn bread is touched by the green pepper, there goes the dynamite, boom! the thing is spicy as hell. Thank you Bobby! Huahua's Taquerias' Jalapeño cornbread is no different, except that it is moist and fresh. It is probably the spiciest, hottest one I have ever had. For that I have to say "WTF Huahua?" I came to Huahua's specifically for the jalapeño cornbread (the tacos were the added bonus), because someone I met at a bar, whose name I still don't know, started screaming "OMG Huahua's jalapeño cornbread is the bomb" and someone had to stop him, so I told him I'll try it and, ethical being that I am, that is what I did, even though I don't know the dude and will probably never see him, but he left my psyche scarred. And hungry. The taqueria at Huahua is not a real taqueria. Not a traditional one, I would say. They do serve their food in tacos, but still not a taqueria. I would feel more comfortable calling it "the nightmare of a hardcore communist Mexican nationalist pig", subtitled with an anti-American and anti-imperialist anarchist, the one whose worst nightmare is to see his precious autochthonous tacos filled with fried chicken and topped with BBQ sauce while his picture of the Virgen de Guadalupe is replaced with the picture of Pamela Anderson (sorry Kim K., you will never achieve goddess status). But they do have vey amazing Mexican taco inspired food. And, they have a very amazing selection of hot sauces, with some bottles also available for sale, I may add. The most spicy is the Huahua sauce itself. It is a nice healthy level of heat. The "tacos" are also really good and you can't go wrong with any. They do not reflect the humble lifestyle of a Mexican countryman, but they are a good reflection of a twisted modernist capitalist mind, very tasty and very enjoyable. In other words, you must try them tacos. Huahua's also serves taco salads and enchiladas are available. Jalapeño cornbread you said?, well, I dare you.

I've been waiting for quite awhile to eat here and unfortunately left a little disappointed. The person bringing out the food brought us the wrong food on two separate occasions and I observed this happen to other patrons as well. Once we finally got the right order, the food left a little to be desired. The queso was watery and barely stuck to the chips and my carnitas had so many raw onions you could hardly taste the rest. The standout of the meal was the Pescado taco. I wish I would have just got three of these and forgot about the rest. I think there is potential here, but they need to get their operations in order and fine tune some of their recipes.

I have eaten at Huahua's Taqueria several times over the past year and their food can be quite delicious! I have only tried tacos and guacamole with chips. Their food often consists of great flavors with good quality ingredients. Unfortunately, there seems to be a consistency issue. On several occasions I have received items such as the crispy pescado tacos cold. In terms of price, I think the tacos are at a fair amount compared to similar spots. It's a simple fix that could really make this a great place!

I enjoyed Huahua's. I like that they're building a brand with all the knick-knacks and souvenirs for sale, in addition to many other hot sauce brands available for purchase. Very clever. I also like that they're based in Miami and this is the only location thus far. I really like that (in addition to many of their competitors) they have a house made hot sauce bar. Most of them were a bit too vinegary for me, but still I enjoyed tasting them all. 1) Mexcellent (mild) 2) Chipotle Malt (mild) 3) Serrano y Lime (medium) 4) Hot & sticky- honey habañero (medium) 5) Jalebañero- (hot) MY FAVE! 6) Sangre del Diablo (hot) They were out of this last one when we were here, so I'm looking forward to trying it next time. I had the Grilled Mahi taco and Chili Rubbed Shrimp taco. My boyfriend had the Fried Chicken Taco and Carnitas Burrito. All were very tasty and flavorful with a lot of texture contrast. I did find the 'jalapeño cornbread' croutons on top of the fried chicken taco a bit disappointing. I would rather see the chicken actually tossed and fried in a jalapeño cornbread batter and maybe topped with more jalapeños instead of just garnishing with mediocre cornbread croutons. This place is very comparable to LIME Fresh Mexican (probably it's main competitor in MB and also based in Miami). It's a toss up for me though. I think LIME's margaritas are disgusting but I enjoy Limes salsa bar better. I have yet to try Huahua's margaritas and enjoyed their shrimp taco more than LIME's, because it had more flavor. My boyfriend liked the carnitas burrito, but still thinks that LIME's Queso Burrito beats it anyday. So like I said, there are items on each menu that I enjoy. They're both really good and reliable 'fast casual' Mexican spots. So you be the judge. But as of yesterday, I am definitely a fan of this new kid on the block. And I'm excited to go back for dinner to try mas tacos, unas margaritas, el Mac 'n' Queso y roasted corn! ¡Buen provecho!

Mmmmm taco heaven. Five stars for variety and having great margaritas. They also have amazing nachos that works for a great snack for 3-4 people

This amazing little place really is tucked away from the Lincoln Road that we know.its on the sidewalk across the street from Rosa Mexicano.which by the way you shouldn't bother going to LOL. I love authentic Mexican food and these folks have it.Everything is incredibly fresh and flavorful and the folks that work there provide excellent service.i. got tacos de hongo,an elote and a frozen margarita de fresa ! I find myself just saying oh my gosh after every bite lol. The owner of this place has a beautiful chihuahua named Jalapeña and the logo has her on it! Gotta support any business that loves dogs! Oh and I just found out that they have a deep fried avocado taco so I may end up going back today just to try that!

Good effective way to begin a great vacation ! Try the corn, the tacos and make sure you request corn tortillas ! Great little place . Only downside is the smoke from smokers around .

I have had fish tacos in a few different places and this place was definitely up to par. We've had their Grilled Mahi and Chili Rubbed Shrimp taco, and I would definitely return for those Chili Rubbed Shrimp tacos. Perfectly spiced and cooked, served with mouth watering sauce will have your craving for more. If you do order the Grilled Mahi, try that before you try the Spicy Shrimp. Don't forget to order a side of Guacamole and Chips. If you can, make it to stay, elect for a table on the sidewalk, and enjoy the cool ocean breeze while enjoying some good tacos.

Maybe I don't know how to order, but I came here for tacos (plural, I mean, the menu DOES say "tacoS", not "taco") and ended up getting one measly taco for about $4. I saw some other people that got about 5 tacos in one plate delivered to them, so I am not sure what they ordered, but I was disappointed with the amount of food I got and the price for it. I feel that the cashier could have clarified I was only going to get one taco and confirm this was in fact what I wanted...I was expecting to get 2-4 tacos, after all. The taco was delicious, yes (hence the 3 stars), but I don't feel it's worth the price for one little taco. So, based on that, I am not sure I will be back, plus my friend had the enchilada but was not overly impressed with it. Again, maybe we didn't know what to order, but we're going to give other Mexican places on the beach a try before considering coming back here...$30 for 2 people, considering one only got a single taco, and the salsa and chips appetizer was nothing to write home about just does not justify it for me.

The crispy chicken burrito was very good! We also got a few of the tacos and everyone loved them! The guac was good and so was the queso blanco that was free with check in. Overall a great place that I would definitely go to again.

Yummy tacos with a lot of variety. The corn is the star of the show- a must order! There is only outdoor seating and you seat yourself. They were out of homemade salsa on a Friday night (bummer!) but the tacos still had great flavor.

Love the carnitas!!! It's hard to find a place that does Mexican as good as California does and these guys come real close. Best place in Miami

Have been to this taqueria several times and everytime it does not seize to impress. The location is great- on Lincoln Road but away from the tourist madness. The service all around is friendly and helpful. Always get a Coronita and some carnitas tacos along with Guacamole and my day is made. Will be back soon!

Great place! Gourmet mexican food in a fast food kind of place. Same system as a fast food: order at the cashier and fast preparation. But the food is fresh, cooked to order and homemade. The offerings are different and it makes it very interesting. The guacamole and chips is very fresh, big lime taste though but it is good. I had the pulled pork enchilada and it was different but so good. I really liked it. My husband got three tacos and was very satisfied. Can't wait to go back!

Shared Huahua's classic nachos, half an ezote, a fried chicken taco and fried guaco taco. After ordering at the counter we waited about 20 minutes for the food. Thankfully they have fans outside but we managed to get one of their few tables indoors. The fried chicken taco had 1 small piece of chicken, overpriced at 3.99. The fried guaco was definitely unique and had interesting flavors, but not something I'd return back for. The nachos were delicious - especially love their black beans (wish they had a veggie bean taco too) - but the cheese sauce was sitting at the bottom of all the chips which was strange. I had high hopes for the Elote because I LOVE corn on the cob, but was too overdressed for me so you don't taste much of the corn. Loved the latin music playing and the overall freshness of the food, but unfortunately it's overpriced for the amount of food we got and the food wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

Despite billing itself as a taqueria, tacos are not Huahua's strength. Snub the tacos. Eat a burrito. The grilled chicken burrito is killer! I know, grilled chicken sounds healthy (read: boring and tasteless). But, the chicken is pulled, rather than chunks, and blends seamlessly with the cheese and other less magical ingredients. It goes down so smoothly! The tacos are just disappointing, but not awful. The measly little things sure don't justify their $3 price tag. I tried the grilled mahi mahi (too dry) and the veggie (too oily). Neither had spectacular flavor and the oil-saturated shitake mushrooms bust through the tortilla--should have doubled up! Tip: Spruce up the tacos with some of their Huahua's sauces. Located just west of the main drag on Lincoln Road Mall.. ugh, those tourists. ;).. Huahua's is comparatively deserted and offers unbeatable prices. About $9 for a brick of a burrito, when the rest of Miami Beach is trying to rip you as much for a couple of fries. Order at the counter. Grab a seat. A couple of stools inside and a bunch more tables outside. And devour!

I heard tacos and Todd Erickson and knew I needed to get to Huahua's immediately. Overall, I loved the food and it definitely left me wanting more. What didn't? The small space inside (barely any room to stand in line!) inclusive of the lack of seating. The fresh eats and friendly staff made up for it but just have to bear in mind the fact you will be dining al fresco. I loved the homemade and warm chips with guac to start my meal and they came super fast, making my wait for tacos not so shabby. I tried the crispy pescado and fried chicken tacos and loved the fish. With things like queso mac, elote, enchiladas, nachos, short rib tacos, and taco salads also on the menu, I think I'm going to be here several times before I can determine a favorite. I wouldn't be deterred by some of these low-star reviews. This is definitely a great spot that deserves some credit for their delicious Mexican eats! I look forward to returning soon.

Best tacos in Miami Beach. The customer service is great - always friendly people working at Huahua's. The tacos are unique, with a variety of flavors and options. Try the fried chicken taco. I know it sounds weird, but it's awesome. I haven't had a bad taco at Huahua's yet, and I've been there more times than I can count. There isn't a lot of seating, so you have to time your trip before or after the lunch rush. Seating is outdoors, but covered, so it's ok if it's raining, but be prepared to be outside on Lincoln Road. I love it here!

There is nothing worse than going to a place, thinking it's one of the only decent places still open, according to past experience (and its hours listed on yelp)...only to find that it's already closed. I never go back to those places. Total deal breaker.

The best fish taco that I've had in a long time, crispy cornmeal crust and perfectly cooked fish. The elote corn is amazing. Ask for corn tortillas. Simple super clean place. Food is very tasty and the employees seem kind of proud that the joint is popular. I came here twice in the 4 days that I was in Miami Beach. Great quality and value in an,area (lincoln rd) that is usually overpriced poor quality trapping tourists who aren't sure what they are getting into. This place is a great find!! Im happy that I stumbled upon it!

First experience at Huahua's and I ordered takeout. Spent $21 and got the guaco taco, veggie salad, and queso&chips to try a couple of things out. To start I will say the guaco taco was really good. Between the fried avocado & and unique sauce I would definitely order it again. The chips & queso were good but nothing extraordinary. Then I opened up the veggie salad (if you couldn't tell already, I am a vegetarian). See the photo I uploaded to my disappointment. I'm still not 100% sure what the blackened/charred veggies that covered the entire salad were. My guess is the portobello but no where in the description did it say they were blackened. After trying to cut one open I realized they were charred all the way through and not edible. Unless I am missing something, this was an extremely lame salad. After I picked off the entire layer the rest of the salad was so-so as it now all tastes charred. Very disappointing especially being as this salad was $10.79!! I am giving them 2 stars because the staff was very pleasant and the guaco taco was good but overall not a good experience. Lesson to me - thoroughly look at the takeout before I get home..

Huahua's is my favorite place to get elotes. These are the best ones I've had so far. I'm not crazy about their tacos, but the Mac n' queso is delicious. They have a good selection of paletas and those are pretty good too. I like the way they honor the name of the restaurant by being dog friendly. They have dog treats and plates with water outside for dogs. It's a good place to go if you want to get affordable Mexican food in that area.

Lunch or Late Night Huahuas Hits the Spot Lincoln Road can be a mine field on the culinary scene. Pretty girls promising reduced priced meals and drinks during the day and then so few choices late at night, can result in a very expensive lesson. Now, on the West side of Lincoln, Huauhuas is the place that gives you great Mexican food (and drink) without the South Beach sticker shock. My wife and I decided to try Huahua's the other night. We chose a Friday since that tends to be the busiest night and a good night to try out a new restaurant at its most hectic.... Our first choice was the Elote (3.29) this Grilled Mexican sweet corn was by far our favorite choice. Its like having a corn taco "on the cobb" the blend of spice and cheese with butter has that perfect combination of salt without being overwhelming or greasy. Having a late night craving for something salty after a few beers. GET THE ELOTE. After this great start we chose our main courses. Next up was the Cheese and Bean Enchilada and the Pulled Pork Enchilada (6.79). I really enjoyed my Cheese and Bean with red sauce. Not too much cheese and not too huge a portion which was fine by me. The red sauce had just enough spice to be hot, but not overpowering. I will say I worked up a bit of a sweat, but isn't the point of Mexican food to have some spice? My wife's Pulled Pork Enchilada was good, but she mentioned the Lemon Cream Sauce was a bit bland. After tasting it myself we agreed it needed a bit more acidity. The solution was easy, just add more lemon juice and BANG there's the flavor. My suggestion would be that Huahua's add either more lemon juice or cilantro to the sauce to give it that extra "kick". We then both chose the Mahi Mahi tacos (3.29). Small, simple and well flavored with a side of rice and refried beans. I will say the beans are QUITE spicy, but with the fish add a nice touch. They are that perfect "bite" size and makes you wanting more. Well done. Lastly, to satisfy our sweet tooth, we chose the Paletas (3.49) and Cinnamon Sugar Funnel Cake (3.49). The home made Paletas are really good. Basically frozen juice on a stick, but after that salty/spice meal VERY satisfying! My Passion fruit Paletas was very good and flavorful. I'm anxious to try the other flavors like Fruita Mixta, Coco Con Leche and others. The Cinnamon Sugar Funnel Cake was a bit less of a success. Its fried PERFECTLY, but they really overdid it o the Cinnamon. You could literally scoop it out with a spoon. I think in this case "less is more" just sprinkle the Cinnamon on it and maybe some powdered sugar and I think that would be enough. No need to drown it in Sugar. That said, I still ate the whole thing and found it tasty. The only fault I can find with Huahua's itself is that its rather small inside. Theres really only about 4 chairs to sit down inside, but at least there is room outside now that they have their permit. I will say it fills up fast on the weekends so you have to be quick or otherwise use them for takeout or walking around food. If their business keep up like it was Friday night they may have to expand...and quick. Overall, we both really like Huahuas despite a few "growing pains". I didnt get the chance to sample all their dishes, but will DEFINITELY be back for more. They also have wine, beer and margaritas if you want to keep drinking late into the night. So, if you are on the West sign of town and looking for good, cheap eats with REAL flavor, take the walk over to Huahuas. Your stomach and your wallett will thank you.

Had a pretty bad experience here. I came here with 3 other friends to grab a quick bite before hitting the clubs and while my 3 other friends got their tacos (which were really good), the ones I ordered took over 15 minutes. It wasn't until I got up and asked where they were then they magically appeared. When I did finally get them, they were stone cold. I went back to complain and the cook gave me an attitude. It gets better. After I said they were cold, the cook took his glove off and stuck his finger in them and then gave them back to me!!!! I'm down here on vacation and did not want any drama. I left it alone. Will never come back to this place.

I was really looking forward to the opening of Huahua's, I mean who doesn't appreciate a good south beach taco? A friend of mine and I went. We ordered the elote, mac & cheese, crispy pescado, BBQ short rib, fried chicken, and pollo al pastor tacos. The elote was good. The Mac and cheese was AWESOME. Really gooey and cheesy. I was not given a bite of the pescado or short rib taco, but was assured they tasted good. My pastor taco was...mediocre. I really enjoyed the fried chicken taco. What's a little odd is that they used both corn and flour tortillas with no real rhyme or reason it seems. I also noticed the the two things I enjoyed the most...are not Mexican....at all (mac & cheese and friend chicken taco)

Someone told me that this place is the "most authentic Mexican food you will have in Miami." Boy was I a bit disappointed. They have steak tacos, not Carnegie Assad and carnitas tacos. All tacos are on a small flour tortilla. Where are the corn tortillas? Each taco runs about $4, pretty pricey. I ordered the carnitas taco- although it tasted very good, they definitely skimped on the meat because I was able to roll it up like a taquito. The steak was good in size and the meat was soft and chewy. This place is a cross between Mexican and Peruvian style tacos. Good, pricy, but no where near a typical "street taco." To give you another example, they offer fried chicken tacos. If you're looking for adventure, try this place, but if you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, go to California!

This place knows what's up. It knows its strengths and doesn't try to turn into something it's not. What it is: a simple taqueria with fantastic affordable food and a great location. It is not some fancy sitdown restaurant. And that's exactly what I was looking for when I walked by. This place served on-point mahi mahi street tacos with perfectly done guac and chips. I sat outdoors and was a stone's throw away from the busy fancy shops on Lincoln Road. Honestly the food was better than some sitdown places I've been at so far. If you're looking for a well done street taco in a great location then this is your best bet.

I thought this place was a generally satisfying taco place. The elote was very tasty and nicely seasoned. To be fair though, it's kind of hard to screw that particular item up due to its simplicity. The tacos were definitely above average. I had the short rib one and the mahi one. Both were items I would order again, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the mahi. The service here was friendly and the prices were surprisingly good given the location. Two small criticisms. First, I felt like even though the mahi taco had great flavor, it was a little light on its fish portion. I would pay a little more to get more fish and less filling. Second, I liked all the hot sauces, but it would be nice if there were some house made options here. My 2 cents..,

The roast corn was overly fussy with pepper, spices and sprinkled cheese everywhere. Obviously they don't have much faith in their corn supplier, 'cause with fresh ears, simpler is better. OTOH, the nachos were pretty amazing, and quantity was enough for four. Great flavors in the beed and salsas were hot and varied. Good guacamole, fresh crunchy chips.

So a "taqueria" using flour tortillas? It should be a Tex-Mex joint not a Taqueria, not acceptable in Mexico, sorry.

This place makes what is best described as fusion tacos. They serve flour tortillas which are certainly not authentic for Mexican food, and they're rather large and taste like chewy cardboard. I asked the busboy if they serve corn tortillas and he was a little confused but responded in the affirmative -- I have a suspicion that he just said yes to be polite and walk away. The fillings are ok, nothing to write home about but nothing bad either. I ordered 5 different tacos, including their Al Pastor, they were all decent (save for the flour taste in my mouth). The exception was the Mahi, the fish was burnt (lots of bad-for-you black chunks) and tasted dry. I ordered a Chips & Guacamole, the guac was surprisingly good although I can't say the same for the chips. They also serve Mexican Coke which is great. Service was ok at best, a little slow. We were a party of three, I ordered separately but right after my other two lunchmates. Their food came out pretty quick, mine took an extra 10 minutes even though we all had tacos. They were out of 2 of the 6 sauces they have "on tap". I really wanted to try the Serrano & Lime sauce so I asked if they had more in the kitchen and was dismissed with a "No" by a guy who seemed to be a manager. I pressed him and he said that it's made by someone next door and he's out. The locals don't know any better and think it's good Mexican food. There are better places even on the beach -- at least two places come to mind on Washington Ave alone, one of them being Alma Mexicana (Google/Yelp it). And of course, if you're looking for a more formal setting, right across the road is Rosa Mexicano. I'd give this 2.5 stars if that were an option, but since it's not I'm rounding down since it's not really A-OK in my book. I probably won't stop here again, except maybe for the excellent guac.

I tried Huahua's the first time I came to Miami, and HAD to come back the second time I visited Miami Beach. I made the mistake of ordering the salad (It was good, don't get me wrong) but my sister's boyfriend ordered the tacos and I ended up eating most of his food AND my salad..oops. I love breakfast and I love tacos, so the breakfast taco definitely makes me happy. I am also a big fan of their grilled steak & guaco tacos. I had my eye on the margaritas, but had to pass since it was my first meal of the day. I am from California, so I have definitely had my good share of tacos (good & bad), and would recommend you try this place (it's not authentic but yummy) ! I love that this place put a spin on the normal taco, and added some yummy flavors. This isn't a hole in the wall taco joint, it is a nice location, small but has a good amount of outside seating. I will be back the next time I am in Miami Beach. Also they have vegan friendly options!

Awesome tacos! Awesome corn! Awesome salsa! Love! Love! Love! The only bad thing about this place is the seating but won't change my 5 star rating. No inside seating and the outside area has about 6 tables which range from 2 people seating to 6. The place is so good seating can be difficult if it's a weekend or lunch hour.

Huahua's was disappointing!! the food has its hits and misses. the chicken salad was so so. the grilled fish taco horrible, while the vegetarian and grilled steak tacos were good. they also have a good bean puree. the service was really slow, and the restaurant was not crowded. they must do a big take out business. the inside is very modern and small, with 2 tables. they have several tables outside.. they offer several souses. i liked the sweet and spicy the best. you have to wonder why, they recommend the fried chicken and fried fish tacos as the best of the lot!! well it is located in Sobe!!!

Full of flavor and different variety options to order. Order at the counter and they will deliver your food to table. Its a great spot for a quick bite before a movie ( across the street ) or a meal and walk up Lincoln rd. I will recommend to friends and family and will visit for lunch soon

Melissa F.
Great taco place. Don't skip the al pastor taco or the elote. The elote is really delicious - cheesy and charred with just slight kick. Carnitas was good too. Not sure I would do the crispy fish again but I liked that one ok too. We got chips and queso for the table - the queso was nothing special but it was passable. I came here with my nieces and the quick service style where you order and they deliver food to your outdoor table worked perfectly for us. All in all great place for some quick delicious tacos and a couple of beers.

We tried this place on the way to a birthday party... It went like this: Walking down the street looking for the location of the night's debauchery we ran into some other invitees and agreed to make a taco run. Unlike most of the restaurants on Lincoln Road, this place offers amazing food for not a ton of money. For $3 a taco instead of pre-drinking you could pre-eat before going to one of the finer establishments that cost your paycheck. After deciding in the mahimahi tacos, I realized I had to use the restroom. Being that this place is small and the meals are cheap I questioned my decision to venture to the restroom, and when I saw it was unisex I thought I might just put it on hold, but I took a look and the restroom was spotless. Completely stocked up with toilet paper, soap, hand towels. I was really impressed. (It always makes me wary at restaurants with unclean bathrooms). So I give this place 5 stars for being squeaky clean. The tacos were really delicious, and we were all happy we went. Party on.

There's a lot of people in South Beach who are indifferent to me, and then there's that group of amazing people who almost become a family away from home. When I step inside Huahuas, I'm literally geeked to catch up with the crew and talk Sobe business, food and just reflect on a bad or good day to someone who cares enough to at least pretend to listen, though I assume it's always genuine. The food? I come from Chicago, huge Mexican population and amazing Mexican food. I'm Puerto Rican and if it came down to choosing one or the other for the remainder of my life (and afterlife), sorry, I love my islands food but Mexican takes the cake. I'm positive I have El Gordos tacos (a Chicago staple) still lining the walls of my intestines from like 1998. Ok, you get it, I love Mexican food. Here, the take isn't exactly authentic. I don't need my H1N1 shot before eating as I do at places back home and there's no little indigenous abuela slaving away in a fly riddled kitchen. But it tackles the concept with an original twist better than the Mexican fares elsewhere on the beach. The cornbread laced in jalapeños is better than sex, hands down. And all taco variations make me just as moist with the fried chicken and the breakfast versions stealing my heart. I've been here enough (and tip well enough) that I usually always receive a complimentary bowl of guac and chips. My only serious issue is the loaded nachos. After all the add-ons and a drink to cleanse the palate, you're looking at $20 not including tip. Nachos are usually never worth boxing up, and I have yet to finish an entire order, so when I shoot for this option I'm always regretting how $20 could have gotten me homemade nachos for a week. Awesome location, awesome staff, and though not quite legitimately Mexican it's enough to keep me happy until I'm back home in sweet home Chicago for the real deal. Insider tip: best guac in Miami.

This place rocks! The ppl that work here are always extra friendly and omg the food is to die for. The fried chicken taco is the bomb! I always ask for an elote too, so yummy. The cashier (Carlos) always gives the best suggestions on new things to try. You won't regret coming here.

Paul K.
The food was very good. I will go back. They had some issue with the chips so no chips & queso. I had the pollo, fried chicken, shrimp & mahi tacos & they were all good. The elotes was great!!! A definite must have. You will be glad you listened to me.

Located at the mouth of the Lincoln Rd strip, this taco joint is just pretty much perfect. Prices are good and the menu is an interesting take on traditional Mexican fare. On a recent trip to Miami, I ate here twice. The tacos are stuffed, delicious and priced around $3.50 each. I had the carnitas, the citrus chicken and the steak. All 3 were very good, but I enjoyed the steak the most. The elote cannot be passed up! A flavorful corn on the cob with spicy mayo, seasoning, cilantro and Mexican Cotija cheese. My cousin had a taco salad which looked awesome. She liked it a lot! I didn't care for the club music pumping through the place. It was actually annoying, but the food itself made the experience. Dog and bicycle friendly, with outdoor seating and fans.

If you're looking for no fuss no muss yummy tacos on SoBe then you need to head to this great little place. Ate here last night with my bestie after window shopping on Lincoln Road. The concept is, order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The menus has roughly 10 varieties of tacos which can be ordered individually or 3 of the same kind for $10. The ingredients are fresh and not your typical tacos. I had the grilled steak, mahi mahi, and shrimp tacos. The steak was perfectly seasoned and juicy. The mahi mahi was a generous sized piece of fish. The shrimp had a nice bite due to the jicama. My bestie ordered the mahi mahi, chicken with pineapple, and fried guac. Yes, I said fried guac. The service was friendly and quick. The only thing I would change is the beer selection and the margaritas made from a slurpee-like machine. Other than that, the place is great. You can't beat the price or the taste. Great hidden gem on Lincoln but west of Alton.

HuaHua's is authentic and gourmet mexican. The chef is celebrity chef Todd E. from Haven. The food is thoughtful and seriously well-prepaired. The guacamole is also hands down the best I've had since Chipotle. It's hard to find really good mexican food in South Beach, even though there are so many places that offer it, but this one is Number ONE to me. Delivery Dudes company also will deliver HuaHuas, which is a bonus.

Vanessa P.
Oh Huahua's, how I wish you had a more northern location because I'm sure it would be our second home. In all seriousness, this place is worth the drive for absolutely delicious dishes. Not to mention the prices are beyond reasonable. I was first introduced to this place due to a recent Yelp event, and while browsing the streets during Basel we stopped in to refuel. Best decision that day hands down. Their tacos are incredibly flavorful and hit the spot. I love the crispy pecascado. And of course I can't write a review without mentioning their elote which is amazing. The service coupled with the deliciousness and price is a no brainer. Huahua's is not a place to pass on. So do yourself a favor, if you are in the area, don't second guess it -- go in and order. You won't regret it.

This is my go-to quick casual taco spot at the beach. You cant beat the price and the quality is superior. Who does't love a strong margarita, a chicken taco, and some delicious queso dip? Another perk ... they're open late for those after bar munchies!

VEGAN Options! So happy about that! Love the frozen margaritas too! And best of all it's open late so after a lil parting or an event that is the spot to go to!

I really love Huahua's!! I found out about this great place at an Elite event recently and had been craving it ever since. they are open super late on Fridays and Saturdays which is great as I am on the weirdest sleeping schedule. We went around 1:00 AM and there was plenty of parking and seating. Today I found out they are dog friendly which is AWESOME since I hate leaving my babies alone all the time, they had water bowls for dogs and treats at the cash register. This will be our new spot for late night dining. My favorite tacos are the carnitas and the fried chicken. I love them both equally. Their guacamole is the best I have had (outside of California). Their queso is yummy. and their margaritas are refreshing and tasty! Can't wait to go back!

Stuffed my face here the first night I was in Miami. Why? Because I was tipsy. Or drunk. I can't remember. What I did remember was that breakfast taco like it was the bomb-diggity! Hallelujah for being open so darn late!! The next night, my friends and I ended up at here again, this time we all learned the name of the restaurant. This time, I got the fish, fried chicken and, of course, the breakfast taco. All were solid but the breakfast taco remained my favorite. Although I remember there being scallions on it from the night before and the second time around, it didn't taste as good. Thanks, drunken taste buds... They also have interesting bottles of hot sauce by the soda fountain with some pretty funny names.

Good quality tacos. A bit pricier than the other options close by, but well worth it in my opinion. Stay away from the margaritas... They are not real.

Mediocre tacos, slow service, out of most of their salsa options and nothing special about this sidewalk restaurant. Skip it and head to Bodega instead.

This place used to be really good, but for some reason the last few times have been very disappointing. Hot sauces (the magic touch they once offered) are now very limited and the tacos are nothing out of this world, but at least they seem fresh. Seems like they are trying to increase their margins or something by reducing down the experience / product. Poor business choice. The fried chicken and shrimp tacos are the best. Elote with chilli is also pretty good.

Delicious. Delicioso. Fried chicken tacos were irreverent and so tasty. But I love their traditional carnitas the best. The sauce is just so darn good. Man I'm gonna order another one.

I hardly ever write Yelp reviews. I should probably do this more often to improve my cyber cred which is lacking these days. Anyway, I ate at Huahua's last night. In the truest-to-Miami form, I would say the following as my overall review: "Fire, bro." However, I felt obligated to write a more verbose review as a somewhat-educated, self-proclaimed funny human after eating at Huahua's. The food was so good that I would be willing to be thrown into a no holds barred cage match with 3 members of the Mexican Mafia a.k.a La Eme simultaneously for a single bite of my choice of item off their menu. Furthermore, the Mac n Queso is one of the most delicious sides this place has to offer. The chef could literally have bare-skin tea-bagged the bowl in front of me & I don't think that would have dissuaded me in the least bit. The guac is extra (meme reference), but delectable. You can taste the freshness with every bite. If you truly care about food & bang for your buck, do yourself a favor. Walk 40 extra steps from Rosa Mexicana & hit this place up. You can get a more than decent dinner for 2 with beers at Huahua's for the $40 you'd spend at Rosa on just the guac which is shit in my opinion (I make much better guac at home). The absolute only reasons I didn't throw Huahua's 5 stars are no ghost chili pepper hot sauce, no refried beans (whatup), I've had better Mexican food before, & you may get fucked on the seating if it's raining outside. Definitely hit this spot up doeeeee.

TACOS ARE TO DIE FOR! My boyfriend and I went during happy hour & took advantage of the $3 beers & the yelp special (FREE queso blanco & chips). We ordered 2 types of tacos (3 of each). The steak tacos have SOOOOO much flavor and the fish tacos were the best i've had. They were spicy, but then again, they have jalapeños. Make sure you order them without if you don't like spicy. It's a little pricey but the portions are BIG. Will def come back!! Can't wait to try their other tacos!

So nice to hear back from the GM! I was wrong when I implied that the place was not clean, because it is very clean. I suppose it's just that in this location on Lincoln Road I expected that it would be just a little nicer inside. But it is perfect for what it is and the food is great. We're going today for lunch!

Passing here couple time. didn't get me attention at all. My friend said is good and I get it try at the end of "I hate! " so badly. Reason: 1: VERY VERY VERY strange entry line. space is wedge in the little box.. almost hit the glass. 2: $5 Beer, NO HAPPY HOUR. 3: $ Chips and dipping, Dipping not refill and cost anoth $4. 4: All the service by myself. Bring my beer to my seat. 5: Why give tip? I don't. Provide me a place to seat doesn't meaning this place worth my tips. Here is not the right flavor of "drink fun" and of course not great food. Not my place from inside and outside at all.

Huahuas is a great little place for fast, healthy, moderately priced Mexican food on the beach. The food is very fresh and I like that all their tacos can also be made as a salad. As someone who tries to at least pretend to be healthy I appreciate having that option. Last visit I had nachos. I have enjoyed all the food I have had there. The nachos are a huge dish and should probably be shared with four people. My favorite thing so far are the shrimp tacos. They are awesome. Everything else has been very good, too. There is no indoor seating at this restaurant. It can get a bit crowded and you may have to wait/fight for some of their sidewalk seating at peak hours. If you don't want to do that you can get your food to go and Sita at the fountains on Lincoln road mall or the small park on the bay a block west of the restaurant. The way to my heart is through my dog and the staff were so nice to her last visit! Not only did she get ice in her fancy water dish, but the girl at the counter came over and offered my dog biscuits from their stash behind the counter. Sweet gestures like that huge me the warm fuzzies and keep me going back.

The mini tacos are delish, but the prices were a tad high and the service was disappointing, so three stars instead of four. Cool selection of hot sauces, convenient location, and quick service pull in its favor.

I was looking forward to trying this little taco place on South Beach, but didn't have the experience I was hoping for... - Food: The food is unique and good, but significantly overpriced for what you receive. When ordering, keep in mind that this is not a typical Mexican place, meaning they've tried to "fancy" things up (mostly unnecessarily). Also, for those hungry people out there, an order of enchiladas only comes with one enchilada and no sides. Lastly, do not order a margarita as they do not have a liquor license and charge a ridiculous amount despite serving margaritas without real liquor. - Atmosphere: There is none. You sit on the sidewalk of Lincoln, west of Alton. - Service: Although I believe my experience was isolated, I do have to share... The person I was dining with ordered one of the enchiladas, and upon the server brining out the enchilada began eating. However, it turned out to be the wrong one. Then when the server brought the right one and we and she realized her mistake tried to have the manager come over and take the right order - not even the wrong one. The manager continued to make us fill uncomfortable as if we had some how schemed them to get an extra enchilada, even though in reality it was his server's fault. Just didn't make for the most pleasant experiences. Will I be back?: Most likely no

Good selection of tacos, but a bit pricey for what you get, and for tacos in general. I suppose it's for the Lincoln road mall rent though. Blackened shrimp with jicama was very good. Would come here again for a light bite if in the area.

Came here with a girlfriend for lunch and even though I am not a huge fan of Mexican food, I loved the food. It's a modern restaurant with outdoor seating which is a huge plus for Lincoln Road. The prices are very reasonable and there are many options to choose from. They also have an extensive selection of hot sauces, which I feel are pretty much essential if you are going to have a Mexican restaurant. What I really liked about these choices though, is that they are all ranked by their "hotness". It allowed for me to grab a few quick ones in my range (4-5) and quickly get right down to business aka eating my delicious tacos. Usually, at Mexican restaurants I have to open almost every bottle and smell/taste to get an idea of how spicy it is. Thank the heavens that Huahua's pretty much did all that for me! Will definitely be back! Yum.

Went here at three in the morning. No where to sit other than outside and it was way too cold. Do we had to take it to go. The carne tacos were great but the free queso dip was wicked salty. I'd go back but I'd avoid the queso dip.

3.5 It's all about the fried chicken taco. Seriously. If you read nothing else in this review, come here, order a fried chicken taco, devour it, get another, leave happy. The batter/breading on the chicken tastes great on its own and the cabbage & ancho ranch complete the dish. You will become addicted to this taco. Unfortunately for me, not all the tacos I tried on my visit lived up to the bar set by the fried chicken. The Grilled Mahi taco with onion, radish, cilantro, cabbage, and chili-lime vinaigrette tasted fresh and, again, the cabbage provided a nice texture compliment to the fish. In comparison, the Fried Fish taco with papaya pico, cabbage and jalapeño tartar tasted bland (which is surprising for anything fried). In fact, I doubted whether or not I was eating the fried fish taco because there was so much crema in the taco... and the taco didn't come with it. I don't think the tartar could be confused with crema. Which led me to discover that my last taco, the Pollo al Pastor, with the charred pineapple, onion, cilantro, and lime crema was loaded with the creamy stuff. Mystery possibly solved: either the flavor profiles for the last two tacos are very similar or I wasn't given a fried fish taco at all. Rather I might have received two pollo al pastors and I didn't care for them. The crema was way too heavy-handed and overpowered everything else in the taco. But the more I thought about it, whether my order got screwed up or the tacos tasted similar (a bit scary for fish and chicken to taste alike), in any event, I wasn't thrilled with what I received. Going forward, I'd stick to the fried chicken and grilled mahi tacos. Both of those were executed well and had tastes that stuck with me well after my meal. Huahua's is open late on Fridays. I came there close to 1 am which might explain the taco mix-up... sorta... but not really. Stick with the fried chicken and all will be well.

Love HuaHuas!!! The tacos are so good. I hight recommend the crispy pescado and the fried chicken taco. The breakfast taco is great for breakfast or hangovers :) the frozen margaritas are off the chain. I LOVE them!!!! It's a great place and cheap! The guac is also great but comes in small containers so get the large- otherwise it's like a ketchup cup size. My absolute favorite item on the menu is the Elote- OMG if you like corn you will die. Even if you don't- It's seriously something I crave everyday. Insane!!!! Gotta try this place- It's a cute hole in the wall that is so worth it!!

Fried Chicken & Crispy Pescado taco are the most amazing things I've put in my mouth in a while. This is my new Go-to spot. Obsession..ACTIVATED!
(5)
Rick K.
The only thing you need to know going to Huahua's is to get the Fried Chicken Taco, it's that good. To make the taco even better, get some guacamole on the side and plop it onto the taco. The Cripsy Pescado Taco should be really good with the pineapples, but it just isn't. The fried fish looked like it was dipped in bread crumbs rather than the light, golden batter that a fried fish taco should be coated in. This messed with the texture and the taste of the taco. Aside from tacos, I tried the Elote, which was really burnt. I also had some of the Mac & Cheese, which was good but nothing extraordinary. If I went back again, I would get at least 2 Fried Chicken Tacos and then maybe another taco for variety and reviewing purposes.

Vegetarian tacos are rich and yummy with portobello mushrooms. Nachos are dripping in lovely cheese, black bean sauce, pico. ELOTE!!! Limey, fresh, gorgeous. "Good thing there was not too much guac because I would have snarfed it." Shrimp tacos spiced just right. Tender, succulent shrimp. Spiced aioli has just the right kick. Flour tortillas are default but you can get corn tortillas which I always recommend. Margaritas worth the brain freeze!

Jessica B.
Cause Im happy!!!! Came here for my first time and tried a few tacos, the steak, chicken al pastor, and the mahi they were all pretty good with fresh ingredients and we got some chips with guacamole and some queso fresco sauce, delish. Cant wait to go back and try the burrito. Service was good and fast.

Laurin P.
This place is great! The food is awesome, the price is good, and they have a great menu. Chips and queso are a must, and the elote (corn) is where it's at! Skip the margaritas- they're premade and not so great. I haven't had a bad taco yet. The steak and fried chicken are my two favorites, and I ask for corn tortillas when I can remember. Definitely give this place a try you won't regret it!

I am definitely a purist when it comes to Mexican cuisine, but my friend coerced me into trying this place. I came with an open mind and left pretty disappointed (and bloated). When I ordered they didn't ask whether or not I wanted corn or flour tortillas. So when I got the tacos they were on 3 lifeless bland flour tortillas. When given the option I always go with corn. I had the HONGOS MAGICOS, GUACO, and CHILI RUBBED SHRIMP. The proteins were fine, however, the tacos were all overpowered by creamy sauce or mayo. There was so much of it that I had to spoon some out of each taco. This wasn't the worst thing I've ever eaten, but I left unsatisfied. Someone in another review said to just go to Chipotle and save yourself the grief. I agree! I definitely won't be coming back to Huahuas.

Lacey C.
Miami doesn't do Mexican. Not really. You want some flavor? Grab a pan cubano or some ceviche like a civilized person. So when someone does Mexican right--it's worth bragging about. Go and eat your weight in fried-chicken tacos (I was a skeptic) and heavenly beef maicitos. Finish up with a Mexican Popsicle and call it good. Enjoy the beach. Easy on your wallet and heavenly on your lips. (PG-13 version, for sure) Does that ever happen in South Beach? Lollerskates.

Cherene S.
Well let me add this to long list of Miami restaurants that have seriously gone downhill. I have been a regular here since it opened and have been huge fan until today. I waited almost thirty minutes for food, even guacamole and chips. Ridiculous. Wasn't even crowded. Have never waited more than ten minutes before. Unacceptable. Not coming back! There are too many great places to eat to put up with this poor service. Shame on you Hua Huas. Get it together.

K. C.
I love how the tacos are reasonably priced at $3.25 ea.! So you can have 3, which make a reasonable meal, and you aren't $17 into a taco dinner... The pricing is really reasonable - and you can have 2 if you aren't as hungry... My favorite by far is the breakfast taco - served anytime of day - which has carnitas, a fried egg, and onions. It is the heartiest of their tacos, and my absolute favorite. I love this place! Also, the tequila palapa (popsicle) = amazing concept.

Amazing hands down! Not only was the food amazing so was the service! I placed an order for pick up with some credit cards and some cash, the gentlemen was organized and made it a painless process. He even labeled all the bags and offered to car it out to my car! Service like that is hard to find in the Lincoln/Washington Miami beach area! If you are thinking about trying this place out...stop thinking and GO!

Huahuas is definitely heating up Miami Beach. With saucy shirts bearing cartoon popsicles bearing the slogan "suck it," hot chefs, and even spicier food, this Mexican restaurant brings a a fun and new perspective to easy dinging options in the area. From the creative minds and whisks of Haven, Huahuas is a funky joint with a slightly more gourmet twist. My personal favorite is the fried chicken taco, which not only comes with its obvious namesake chicken served in strips, but also bits of jalapeno cornbread. Alternatively, the breakfast taco with cheesy eggs, tender carnitas, pork green chili, and hash browns is pretty hard to pass up. I also really appreciate that you are not limited to flour tortillas, since they also have corn on hand for those preferring something else. As for the nachos, be prepared, since this heaping mountain of crisp and light chips comes smothered with a combination of Queso Blanco & Cotija cheeses. It's a pretty substantial plate to tackle solo, but definitely offers a great value. If you're got a craving, I highly recommend adding the short ribs for a generous portion of seriously delectable meat. Another favorite is the elote, a grilled sweet corn with some spices and cotija cheese . It's fairly simple and yet incredibly satisfying. They've also got a hot sauce bar for those desiring to kick things up a notch. To minimize the heat factor I'd also recommend getting one of the refreshing frozen margaritas, or a jarrito alongside the meal, and be sure to save room for a homemade paletas, which come in an assortment of flavor. I'm dying to try the arroz con leche, which I've still yet to catch. Another plus, the service is always impeccable, and the food comes out fairly quickly which makes it an ideal stop before a movie, post Haven happy hour, or just because you want some tasty late night eats. Outdoor seating is great for people watching but there are some seats inside along with wall if the heat gets too unbearable. Hurry over before word gets out about this new beach find!

It's Sunday morning , 3am, finishing up a night of drinking .... I think I need some tacos. Grilled corn with lime , mayo, queso fresco ... Yes please Fried chicken tacos ... Don't mind if I do Beer??... Ok , maybe next time , water for me Sit outside and watch the glossy eyes , hooker heals , and sweaty foreheads roll in. Good late night food but I don't think I would eat it sober.

South Beach needed a place like this. Every neighborhood needs a place like this, especially in South Florida, where examples of quality Mexican food are spotty at best. Huahua's is the mastermind of HaVen's Todd Erickson - and if you ever went for Taco Tuesdays at that establishment, you'd know what I'm going to be writing about - solid, authentic Mexican flavor with the occasional nouveau twist (to wit: fried chicken taco). There'd been a lot of social media chatter about Huahua's, most centering around the paletas (fun Mexican popsicles) and elote (grilled corn with cheese). I tried both, and while they were equally excellent, the taste I'm going to crave comes from the Breakfast Taco. This is what I want to eat every single day. For a little over $3, you get a fairly large taco, stuffed to the gills with eggs, pork, and legitimate green chile. Add another taco (make it the fried chicken), and it's a fantastic, filling meal for well under $10. Frozen margaritas here are also pretty tasty, and are almost necessary, if you're sitting outside in the heat. On this point, be prepared - there's not a lot of seating here, it's a tiny place. Still, it looked like the tables were turning over pretty quickly - it's a "fast-casual" place, not a sit-and-linger. A winning formula that needs to expand to more Miami neighborhoods. How about the Gables, Grove and South Miami, for starters?

The food was actually delicious. Unfortunately this is a walk up to place an order and then the food is delivered to the table. I never left a tip since there really was no service. However the owners decided that I should have left a tip and they added on 20% without me knowing. For the $10 tip they felt they needed on top of quite expensive tacos with no service, my feeling is DISHONEST to say the least.

Love this place, but i only eat tacos here, i didn't try anything else. Love fish and fried avocado tacos, super fresh. Also love that hey sell fresh coconuts. Perfect little spot for a snack after movies on Lincoln rd. Actually; scrap the above; just found out that their tacos are not corn and that's very annoying, also if u see a line of people - not worth the wait, there is no place to seat and our food after 20min arrived cold. I wont go back in busy times ever again, just not worth the wait.

Good fish tacos are surprisingly hard to find in Miami. Huahua's gets it right. The fish is well-cooked, crispy on the outside, bright white on the inside, and well-complimented by the slaw and sauce. The order also came out VERY quickly, which is a bonus. I used the check-in deal on Yelp and got a free order of chips and queso, which were decent. We also got a side of guac, which was also just decent. They put entirely too much lime juice/flavoring on the chips and guac, which ruins it just a tad and brings the review down to 4 stars. But they're still enjoyable. There's a reason this spot was one of the few still poppin on Lincoln Rd at 1am.

Went in today for lunch and tried a few things on the menu. Queso dip- very good Guacamole- very good Elote corn with queso fresco- very good Corn chowder- to thick not a fan Tacos where ok- definitely over cooked my fish and shrimp They forgot the order so we waited and waited and waited more! Then they apogogized for it and brought out some guacamole and salsas. The tacos were good not running back to get them. One thing I do have to say everything was very good quality. Surprising for Miami ! Tables outside are not open yet they are waiting in permits so they served us outside Haven. I think this place will make it overall lots of food for two people for lunch $26.00.

I had a great lunch today thanks to HuaHuas! I'm just sad I didn't try it earlier this summer since it is close to where I live & work. Now that I know the deliciousness I will be back often. I had 3 tacos: the Guaco (grilled veggies, fried avocado, guacamole, spicy tofu crema), the Hongos Magicos (charred mushrooms, grilled veggies, spicy tofu crema) and the Grilled Mahi (cabbage, radish, cilantro, onion, chili-Iime vinaigrette). I also had a couple bites of my man's Crispy Pescado taco (fried fish, papaya pico, cabbage, jalapeño tartar). Everything was great. My stand out favorites were the Guaco (what could go wrong with fried Avo?!) and the Crispy Pescado (which had a nice kick to it). The ingredients were fresh and made to order and they also have a hot sauce bar with spice levels they have ranked from 1-21. We ended our meal with the pistachio paleta, which was refreshing and I liked that there were whole pistachios mixed in. (One minor issue with the Paleta though: the Popsicle stick was really short and kind of hard to hold....) The indoor space looks fun but is pretty small with only 4 bar stools by the window but there is plenty of outdoor seating. I can't wait to come here in the fall when the weather isn't quite as hot and enjoy some more tacos and $5 Mexican beers outside. I hope this place does well because it is just what the Alton end of Lincoln Rd needed. Cheap, Fast, Fresh, super yummy! Also we were informed that if you are looking for late night eats that they are open until 5AM (!!) on Fridays and Saturdays and Midnight during the week.

I have eaten at this place MANY times,..usually the overall attitude and customer service is pretty good... However, during my last (and I mean LAST) visit there I was treated pretty rudely by the person taking my order.... It seems that if you want to "drink water" with your meal (and my order was $12 for "3" TACOS ..you are given a "4 OZ cup... When I asked for a LARGE cup for WATER ..the "person" taking my order insisted on CHARGING me "$2.50" for a regular medium CUP.... SERIOUSLY????? And..the guy was such an arogant A**Hole about it ..I cancelled my order.. ONLY..to have my CC "tossed" BACK at me with the words..FINE.."see ya".. WTF...??? No WAY..I EVER go back.. And FYI..this is NO more "authentic" Mexican than Taco Bell. although..the food is decent.

Of course I bought my chihuahua puppy to check out huahuas for the first time. The place was neat, clean and organized. Service was fast and friendly and I especially enjoyed the outdoor seating area with the multi level dog bowls. It has slushy ice water for the dogs. I LOVE THAT. Highly recommended to a bite to eat when on lincoln road

Finally, good Mexican tacos in Miami. There's nothing like the the taco trucks in LA but this is pretty darn close. My boyfriend, his bro, his wife and I really enjoyed it and the boys went back up for seconds. Guacamole was tasty but seemed like they used bagged tortilla chips. My lover and I tried the Mahi tacos, carnitas, carne asada, fried chicken, fried pescado and the short rib taco. All pretty tasty! The carnitas were my fave! I loved that they put sliced radish on some and they also add a pickled jalapeno to others. Note: Ask for a side of the jalapeno and add to all tacos! They have lots of hot sauce to choose from. Yay so happy we tried this place and will be back to get our taco fix. Mostly outdoor seating so its great in the winter. They also serve beer and frozen Margaritas.

The breakfast taco is the perfect hangover taco! Also the corn elote or whatever is really tasty as well! The staff is usually very friendly and I enjoy coming here every once in a while.

Where to start on the crap show of this place... First, the food took 30 minutes for one order to come out. My friend's never came out... Then, I asked for corn instead of flour shells since I'm gluten intolerant and the server tells me they'll make it right. Takes my tacos, brings back the wrong order and doesn't tell me which ones are oxen and which ones are flour. so I go inside upset, naturally, to fix this. The only one who is understanding and not giving me a bad attitude is the chef/cook who was clearly pissed at all the messed up food tickets. Took another 15 min to somewhat correct the mistake in the first place that could've been avoided by just bringing me corn shells! The manager Giovanni gives me his card and says anything he can do but I told him I'm visiting and won't be back and we walked miles for this. So all in all, I'm passed, let down and baffled at the disorganization and lack of management. Unbelievable and horrible experience. Don't come here unless you want confusion, disrespect and a long wait time for tacos when no one is ahead of you. Everyone but the chef should be fired and bring in properly trained hospitality and management people.

I love their tacos, especialy the mahi, or fried chicken. They are only $3.49 each and are so delicious. Easy parking and just off the busy part of Lincoln Rd, so one can get in & out quickly. I'd give Hua Hua's 5 stars, but they changed the menu and took braised rib tacos off the menu. I hate it when new restaurants change their menus!

So i've been here about 3 or 4 times now, I've tried a few things but what i am LOVING the most is the Chicken and Pineapple Taco Salad with the Lime Vinaigrette dressing! Its a WINNER, do try it! Also, great service every time and a fun vibe I can't get enough of. Keep it up HuaHua's!

Loved it - the Steak and Fried Chicken tacos were great - I could have eaten a dozen. The classic Nachos were great, too, though a bit on the salty side. Want to go back to try the burritos and some more taco options - I'd be a regular if lived in SoBe...

Delicious Mix of flavors! I was walking somewhere else when saw this place had opened, so took a peek insisde and liked the look of it and decided to stay. Ordered guac and chips to share, a Guaco taco and Pollo al pastor taco for me, and Grilled mahi Tacos for my date. A beer and a mandarin jarritos. Overall the food was tasty. I enjoyed the guaco taco (the fried avocado is delish!) but was not too crazy about the Pollo taco, the chicken was a little dry and so was the mahi of my friends taco. The guacamole was fresh and good. I would def try go again and try different things on their menu

THE. BEST. tacos in all of Miami Beach!!! Super fresh ingredients and creative delicious taco options. I eat here a minimum of 3 times per week - not easy to find healthy & interesting lunch options in South Beach. I don't eat meat and even I'm tempted to try the Fried Chicken taco! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Love me some Hua Hua's! One thing I'd love to see is a frequent flyer discount card for returning customers - like every 10 visits, 1 free taco. - thank you, Mike!!!!

The food was pretty good but it is a bit pricey. The crispy pescado, fried chicken tacos and the short rib nachos where pretty tasty. My only complaint was at $3 and change the tacos where a bit on the small side but at least the ingredients where fresh. The marguerita was also tasty and pretty potent which was perfect for catching our movie afterwards since it's right by the Regal Movie theater on Lincoln Road.

Yaya for tacos!! I love a la carte style and so inexpensive for south beach. Even my corona was only 5$. Each taco had a different variety of toppings too. (I hate when joints use the same pico and radish for every taco just changing the protein) Food came out UNBELIEVABLY fast. Like one turn of a corona bottle. Free queso was amazing (with check in, not for any commoner) yay tacos I love you soo. Now off to scooter to the beach cause what else is an island for?
Best Nachos ever! This place is clean, reasonably priced, with great service and delicious food. My girlfriend and I are already starting to lament this place not being in our lives when our vacation ends.

Good quality toppings and good flavours. If I were to choose a taco place for taste and quality I'd like choose here. For lunch though, their portions are not big enough for me.. for most it is, but for lunch I want something that will fill me up to fuel me for the day and here I would have to eat at least 5 tacos. I'm sure many wouldn't have this issue, being 6'7" I require lots of food.

Huahuas is quickly becoming my go to place not only when I'm in the mood for tacos. I find myself craving their fried chicken taco at all times. It is out of this world! Having tried it for the first time at the yelp event at haven, that taco is now the main character in my food dreams. Their queso fundido is pretty extraordinary too. Good stuff and open late. Win/win!

It was good, but not the best around. For Miami I still prefer Mercadito and their taqueria. In Ft Lauderdale its Alegria. We shared 4 tacos, chips and qeuso with chorizo and eyote (corn on the cob). We had the mahi, fried chicken, short rib and veggie tacos. All were tasty. The veggie was a little too moist. In my opinion the best was the fried chicken. The corn was very good and the queso was tasty but a litle watery. The chips are nothing special. Very little in door seating with about 10 outside tables. $24 for the food and one large soda (free refills). Overall a decent value.

The food is not authentic mexican food..more like Mexican style if that makes any sense.. The taco tortillas are not made from corn they are flour so that sucked. THE SERVICE SUCKS! but overall for generic mexican wannabe food this place is okay..try the fried chicken tacos

Dennis M.
Wish there was more meat options and other options (tacos/salads/enchiladas... no burritos?!?) but overall pretty good for a quick eat in SoBe. Ps The Elote is crazy good.

Delicious tacos! I got the Guaco and the steak one. Also I loved the chipotle hot sauce. Yummy

These tacos are the best in Miami! I am usually disappointed when it comes to finding a good taco, but Huahua's tacos were very good. I am definitely going to be a regular customer here.

This place is awesome! One of my go to places when I am on sobe. The jalapeño cornbread is out of this world and I highly recommend. Also another favorite of mine for starters is the nachos with chicken(very tasty). The short rib taco is out of this world Delicious along with the fried chicken taco. Top it off with the homemade paleta for dessert.

Used to go there often for the uniqueness of their menu. But they recently changed it and the new menu is awful. Won't be going back anytime soon.

Fried chicken taco was great. Also tried the fried fish and shrimp, both good, but not as good as the chicken. The chips that came with the gauc were super salty, but they replaced them quickly after we bought it to their attention.

Not authentic but surely delicious. They have fried avocado tacos and queso mac and cheese and yes, it is delicious as well as kitschy. Everything I have tried has been fresh, well balanced and reasonably priced (okay, at least by South Beach standards.) PLUS they are open late on the weekend which is an added bonus if you are experiencing the drunchies.

I had dinner there the other night with my sister. She had been there once before with her boyfriend and they both raved about it. We both live walking distance, so convenient. I had the grilled mahi taco, the chicken with pineapple taco and the Mexican grilled corn on the cob. Everything was tasty and fresh. I had a icy cold Dos Equis too. Can't wait to go back.

Damien M.
I've eaten here several times with friends and we always share a few different dishes.They don't let you mix and match the set of 3 tacos, so if you want variety it's better to go with friends. Service here tonight tarnished my image of this place. I arrived at 1053 and they claimed they were closed at 11. The sad part is they were still filling orders for several customers and the clock clearly didn't show 11. The cashier asked me to speak with the manager who completely ignored me. Not an apology. Not an offer to make something quickly with whatever ingredients were still available. Nothing. He completely ignored my presence.

Ordered: the fried chicken taco - slammin! Surprises me that we don't have more of them in NYC! BBQ short rib taco - this was pretty dry I love how this place closes late on the weekends!

Lincoln Road has a ton of construction and this was the only thing that we could find that was open at 2am and I am very happy we came to eat here. The service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the nachos with chicken and guacamole and it was amazing. The queso they use to pour in the nachos is to die for and the guacamole was fresh and tasty. I also ordered a fish taco and it was equally as good. I topped it off with the home made Sanger del Diablo salsa to add a little kick. I would definitely come back to this place, even during the day.

We love this place, right Linda? It's great when you find a parking place right in front, but most of the time you have to park over by Epicure. The sauce station is a trip because you have to pump the shit out of a couple of 'em to get that little cup filled. I remember when they used to have bottles of hot sauce. I bet they kept disappearing. I know we snagged one. But the three tacos for $10 is such a deal. That's what I always order and it's always very good and filling. The corn on the cob is the bomb. They call it elote. Get a whole one because it's so good. This place is like fast food at reasonable prices. Once you get the hang of the drill, it makes a lot of sense. You order in a line and sit at your table and they bring the order. And then you eat that stuff like the plate is one fire.

What a fantastic corn they have by far the best corn i have ever had. Its my new place for corns.

Finally a good late night taco place on the beach! Came here with friends from out of town after a night of shenanigans. We needed to recharge our old batteries and bam! it worked. The fried chicken taco is totes amaze, the queso fundido is pretty darn awesome too and best of all he prices are very reasonable. If you want good and affordable Mexican food, check this place out.

I'm Mexican, so I know these are not a 100% typical Mexican tacos.... BUT... They have great taste, good Mexican ingredients, are original and are the perfect example of the Mexican spirit: the enjoyment of taco entrepreneurs. It is 100% worth a try!!

Tram V.
Got recommended to come here by haven bar a few spots down. If you're looking for a late night taqueria, this is the joint to hit up. They have Mexican corn covered w/ butter, mayo, cotija cheese, and chili powder. Each bite was like heaven in my mouth. This corn reminded me of the corn sold on the streets back home on Cali. I also got the fried chicken taco and breakfast taco. They also have like 5 different sauces to choose from. Everything i ordered was on point, and needless to say, i left a very happy camper. (:

Vanessa S.
I may be a fancy gringo, but I am no hipster! Despite this fact I still love Huahua's! It's not your typical dirty, authentic Mexican place, but that's alright. It's South Beach! South Beach is crawling with fast, cheap, casual Mexican spots but I enjoy the step up that Huahua's gives you. Having tried both tacos and salads I'm pretty sure you can say I'm in love! Their jalapeno corn bread is like dessert but not, it's just delicious. Huahua's also has this thing going on for it that most other South Beach places don't -- service! Smiling faces, politeness, the whole nine. I'm going back for paletas, I just have to wait till the coconut one makes it's way back to the chalkboard.

Khaled Z.
Best Mexican food we have had since arriving in America. Simple, quick and very flavorsome. We ordered the grilled chicken burrito and the 3 of the same steak tacos. Had appetizers of chips and salsa and chips and guacamole. Best guacamole I've had in a long long time. Looking forward to more opening up
(5)
Juan S.
Excellent new taqueria recently opened on Lincoln Road. Delicious tacos. salads, and full entrees as well. Their specialty is the fried chicken taco and it is delicious. They come in an order or 3 and you will definitely get full. Portion sizes are big. It's also possible to eat healthy here too. They have a salad with shredded chicken that is really delicious, filling and without the guilt. Definitely will be coming back here.

Judith B.
What a disappointment! Usually everything is a must try here, but tonight must be "idgaf" night for their employees. Ordered a queso blanco with chips only to discover the queso was completely watered down, I asked for another queso and was told that the entire pot is watered down and the quality of the food depends on the cook working in the kitchen. How ridiculous! Well now that I'm yelping my comment it all makes sense! Chips and queso are free when you check in with Yelp, so I guess management figured they should save money along with ingredients and serve their customers watered down queso! YUKKK! What a shame!

Vanessa T.
This is our fav taqueria in Miami!! Great service and food! It seems they have something new on the menu each time we visit. I dont think ive had a taco ive disliked and their enchiladas are to die for!! Try their paletas naturales -- cant go wrong there!!

Stephanie S.
Stopped in here last night for some drunk food after Haven. The staff was super nice. We ordered 1 taco, chips and cheese, and nachos with guac. There was a mistake and we received nachos with chicken. So after sending them back we were told they ran out of chips. Since I really wanted nachos, I asked if they could use our other chips. So that worked and she brought me a veggie mushroom taco and free taco tokens for next time. I'm a fan. Oh and the nachos are delicious. They taste like real food and not processed cheese product. We will be back!

Lee M.
LOVE this place! My favorite after-workout lunch place (Crunch, just down the alley). Excellent fusion sort of tacos. Fast service. Nice location. Low-cal. Friendly. Only downside: the counter staff often get my order wrong. That said, well worth it.

Adam Y.
First time here, and I'm impressed, most of the food was very good, the service was great and dinner with a beer for two, tax and tip was just under $30. The guacamole was excellent, and for $7 you get a small vat of some awsoooommmmeee guac. Didn't like the chips though, too Chili's/On the Boarder thin and weak, if you eat a lot of Mexican you know the chips I'm talking about. The tacos I tried were very good, especially the chili rubbed shrimp and carnitas. I was not loving the grilled mahi or the pollo al pastor. My mistake however, as for some reason, fruit mixed with meat sounded like a good idea at the time, however no matter how much Miami cuisine tries to infuse my Mexican with sweet Caribbean/Florida fruit I remain, not yet a fan. Overall, good spot and I'm looking forward to future visits to try out the entire menu, should only take three or four trips. I like that once you know your favorites it's there for a quick stop over.

Whitney K.
Aside from the very obvious allure of $2.00 tacos, I want to draw your attention to a few very important menu items: 1. Queso Mac - yeah, as in queso blanco mac'n'cheese, 2. Chili-dusted homemade guac, and 3. Agua infused with watermelon and mint leaves for a refreshingly non-alcoholic option ... and I haven't even started on the tacos yet. Whether you're famished after a long beach day, on the prowl for a quick late-night snack, or pre-gaming your next shopping spree on Lincoln Road, this is pretty much a guaranteed success. Come-as-you-are-casual atmosphere situated in the heart of South Beach for easy access to whatever your next destination is.

Beau W.
Amazing tacos with fresh ingredients with an eclectic twist. I got the crispy pescado taco, the fried chicken taco, and the breakfast taco and ate them in that order; the first taco set a high bar but I was pleasantly surprised to find that each taco was even better than the last. The breakfast taco is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Service was prompt and friendly. Also had a Mexican Coke and the queso and chips - also unreal!

Gustavo M.
Not Mexican style tacos. The grilled corn con queso was amazing. I personally prefer Mexican street style over this. Food was ok.

Rosie D.
I absolutely LOVE Huahua's!!! Best tacos on the beach. Took my co-workers there and they fell in love. We all ordered the following: grilled steak tacos, the carnitas taco salad, carnitas burrito, chips and queso and our favorite item - the jalapeno cornbread! All of the food was delish and we are making plans to go back and try other stuff on the menu. Was a bit disappointing that they do not carry the enchiladas anymore, but the rest of the food made up for it.
(4)
Jessica M.
I've been to Huahua's several times and tried almost every single taco on the menu. My favorites are the fried chicken taco, crispy pescado taco and carnitas taco. I also LOVE the mac and cheese and the elote. But my favorite thing on the menu has been discontinued! I LOVED LOVED LOVED the enchiladas with the lemon cream sauce. Doesn't matter what kind of enchilada, they let you choose the filling and sauce, the lemon cream sauce is heaven! My sister raved about them so I had to try them and I have had one every time I've gone. BUT I heard from someone who went recently after I wouldn't shut up about the enchiladas only to see they were off the menu, which I just confirmed after checking their online menu. Why?? This makes me so sad! Please put it back on the menu!

SK S.
Not going back. Wasn't the worst food I've had, but nothing memorable and there are better places to eat in sobe, First off, they use flour tortillas which makes everything taste inauthentic. All the tacos we ordered tasted the same. Meh.
(3)
Julia G.
Huahuas is oh so tasty! I love their Carnitas and Fried Chicken Taco. If you are especially hungry try the nachos, but be warned they are addicting and will fill you up! Another great thing about Huahuas is they are super dog friendly and my little guy can come hangout and get doggy treats and his own water bowl. Best tacos in Florida period : )

James M.
Nice people BUT aren't we here to eat? Taco salad was incredibly lame, 2 little pieces of fish, and way over-priced even by beach standards.

I finally have an amazing taco place to eat at in South Beach. I was tired of paying for mediocre food at the other joint on Alton Rd- I'm looking at you limón. The pollo al pastor and carnitas are my favorite tacos along with the short rib nachos which I can't say enough good things about. I have yet to try the elote or paletas but I've heard nothing but great things about them. Don't forget to order a frozen margarita!
(5)
Chiyon Y.
This place is a great find. The Elote is sooo good... my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Great Guacamole & Chips... I mean you really can't go wrong with guac & chips, no wait, yes you can, but that's not a problem at Huahua's. Their Chili Rubbed Shrimp and the Grilled Mahi tacos are pretty good as well. & delicious frozen margaritas!
(4)
Fred G.
I gave 3 chances to this place, but it just disappoints me every time. Service is good, it's the food that gives it a full one star! Not overpriced, but the portions are so small and tasteless for a "Mexican cuisine". ("Grilled chicken" is not grilled??).
(1)
Jon S.
Came here for lunch while on vacation after reading some really good Yelp reviews. The restaurant is nice but very small. Not much indoor seating AT ALL. Expect to sit outside where they have fans and several tables with umbrellas. They have good lime and strawberry frozen margaritas. We had the shrimp, fried chicken, mahi mahi, and carnitas tacos. Shrimp was very good, carnitas was a little disappointing as was the chicken. Mahi mahi was dry. Not much flavor in the chicken at all and the carnitas was just pretty good. Not great. I want to like this place more than I did unfortunately.

Angela L.
YUMMMMMMMMM! Wish I found out about Huahua's late hours and amazing tacos before submitting to ordering pizza yet again. Such a nice change of pace from all the of the usual pizza, salads and sandwiches of SouthBeach. The tacos are on-point! Love these tacos!!!: - pineapple chicken - grilled mahi - tilapia - fried chicken - portebella mushroom ((still can't say I have one favorite, since they all have such distinct flavors :D ) Must Try also: - frozen margarita (regular, mix-with passion) - grilled corn on the cob.... YUM!!!!! - PALETAS!!! (pineapple, strawberry-cheesecake & coconut!!!!!!))))) i dream of these! Sit on the patio, have some drinks, eat some tacos, and chat with the nice folks who bring their pups! ...Don't forget to say hi to the Director of Operations (Jalepena) ...she's a lovely girl! ;)

Amazing addition to this neighborhood - fresh ingredients, great price and fast, friendly service. Small inside but lots of outdoor tables, and open until midnight. Wish they would expand their menu a bit, but other than that really great place that will fill you up for around $10-$15, the lemon sauce is incredible btw!
(4)
Ria S.
I had guacamole and the shrimp taco & the fried chicken taco. Everything was really good except the guacamole had too much lime flavor for my liking. The tacos are not your average tacos but they were really good. The fried chicken was quite flavorful & the batter was delicious! I will go back.

Jackie J.
Delicious!!! I love their crispy fish tacos! The sauce they use in that is too good. My boyfriend is a huge fan of their fried chicken tacos. I also tried their margaritas and the elote corn which were both great!

Azia C.
If you are looking for a Mexican Restaurant, this is NOT the place for you. BUT, if you are looking for Fresh Mexican/Southern inspired flavors you've found the right place. My fave is the Fried Chicken Tacos (mmm the salad version of this is what I go for when I'm starving) or The Hongos Taco, when I am feeling vegetarian. Sides wise, I'm really loving the re-fried black beans and the Jalapeno corn bread is amazing (they are both spicy, so be prepared). I haven't tried the elotes but I hear they are great too. The only reason why I don't give them 5 stars is because its a little bit of a longer wait time than I would expect from a taqueria. But I feel that I should clarify that my expectations time wise is about 10 minutes or less, so I may be a little unrealistic for well crafted food, with fresh ingredients. But with that said, the staff is attentive and sweet, and I'd say the food is worth the wait!

Great Mexican taqueria spot - would be five stars in our book but you took away our beloved braised rib, and replaced the delicious enchiladas with generic burritos. Please bring them back! :-(

OMG Is all I gotta say! These tacos remind me of Austin! How would I describe them... Pocket friendly gourmet! All the options are excellent! Crispy Pescado is the bomb.com and the breakfast taco is awesome for hangovers! They're open till 5 am on Friday n Saturdays so if I'm partying in South Beach this is where I'm heading afterwards! 100% recommended just for the fact that its different from everything else in Miami Beach! Try it out, trust me you will NOT regret it! =)

Stacey D.
This place is amazing!! You HAVE to try the corn. Get a whole order - trust me. Service is great, food is outstanding, and the manager was super friendly and even came to our table to make sure we liked the food. The chicken taco was epic. Thank you huahua's for never disappointing.
(5)
Nikki G.
Huahua's is probably not the first place one would think of when thinking of a healthy eatery...Mexican equals chips and salsa and margaritas! However, when I'm not eating my weekly cheat meal from here (chips, the new delicious salsa, and beyond delicious queso), I am ordering a taco salad (without the shell), because it's one of the best on the beach. The salads are large, filled with a kale/romaine lettuce blend (all hand cut the day of), a homemade bean pico, radishes, and a cilantro-lime vinaigrette, which is also made in house. (Hopefully they start to bottle the dressing and sell it because it's that good.) The hours of this place are great, and they recently just started delivery service. I give this place two thumbs up, not only for the food, but because the workers are so nice and friendly. They remember who you are, and are extremely hard working. The manager is also around, doing table touches, cleaning up after guests, and helping in the kitchen. He leads by example, and that's the one reason why this business is so successful. They are opening their second location in Aventura from what I've heard, and I know it'll be a success. Thanks for great food! Ole!

Carnitas tacos are the flavor ones, but missed the salsa barHow can you serve tacos with no salsa bar. Good variatity of hot sauces but no salsa bar. Better offerings around the area.

I love Huahua's ! Finally a regular and affordable reason to risk your life crossing Alton Rd. while walking west on Lincoln, Huahua's is a gift from the Taco Gods! Everything here is just amazing. The Elote corn is the bomb, grilled with cheese and a spice sprinkled across the length... just perfect. My favorite is the chicken enchiladas with lemon sauce. I was super skeptical when recommended this by the nice girl working there, but after trying it, its not my go to order. The chili rubbed shrimp is my favorite taco, but I've also never had anything here that I didn't absolutely love! Awesome hot sauce bar. Super cool that they have a big cell phone charging station for use.

Jaclyn C.
Love the Guaco Taco, but was very disappointed in service and accommodation for food allergies... Came with my bf who is gluten free and he got the Guaco Salad and even though they were out of the taco bowl for the salad they still charged us Fifty cents per tiny corn tortilla. We could have bought an entire bag of tortillas for the price we paid for 3 tortillas!! Likely won't return.
(2)
George G.
The only reason I do not give them 5 stars is due to the guacamole. Too much slat and too sour. With that being said, you must have the Breakfast taco. It has to be one of the best tacos I have ever tasted. I was also looking forward to the fried chicken taco, but they ran out of fried chicken last night.. You know publix is right down the block, plenty of chicken there... I highly recommend this little gem
(4)
Ryan J.
Huahua's fried chicken taco literally was the best taco I've ever had. The texture is almost like a tempura, with a really southern, almost cajun flavor. The radishes and corn bread in this dish also make it a winner. I'm also in love with their hot sauce bar (they have like, 25 of them), as well as their elote. Super nice staff. Amazing.

I grew up in Los Angeles and know good Mexican food. Tried this place yesterday and loved my tacos. Great salsa selection. Just wishes they opened 2nd location in South of Fifth neighborhood in Miami Beach.

Vincent F.
Pretty good taqueria, I love the fried chicken taco, pescado taco and the carnitas taco. I wish there was better in door seating.
This place is awesome! Really hard to find great tacos in Miami, let alone in a touristy place like Miami Beach. Amazing salsa, chips and guac and I love the hot sauce selection. The fried chicken, grilled mahi and al pastor are some of my favorites but you really can't go wrong with anything here. Quick service too!

Taco Bell style Mexican food. No taste at all . It is just bad Mexican if you want to call it Mexican

Darlene P.
We ordered the chicken nachos and a chicken burrito. We also added a side of salsa and guacamole with chips. The nachos were delicious and my husband said the burrito was the best he has ever had. The guac was so yummy. We will definitely go back.

Codis K.
If you want tacos that are a bit kore creative than the norm, this is the place. The crispy pescado and fried chicken tacos are quite tasty. My two gripes are the corn tortillas don't hold up very well and often fall apart halfway through eating. Also not a fan of the salsa. The flavor is okay just seems like more of a Rojo sauce than a salsa made of fresh vegetables.
(4)
George S.
Great taco salads. Favorite tacos are the short rib abd the fried chicken. Plus they are open late.
(5)
Mark H.
Omg! I can't get enough of this place!!! The Best Nachos on Miami!!! So glad it 1 block from my house.
(5)
Michael B.
This place falls flat on its face. The elote was literally dipped in a mix of mayonnaise and cheap cotija cheese. Inedible. Next comes the tacos where one bite of each sufficed. It was an awkward mix of flavors with nothing distinguishable in the taco. I couldn't tell the difference between carnitas and chicken. Not to mention they use a mini flour tortilla. Really, a mini flour tortilla?
(2)
Joel S.
I went here again last week before my bowling league and it was open - so we are already off to a great start (although I knew it would be because of the note I got after my last review). I got the elote (corn) and a couple of fish tacos. I thought everything I had was solid. The corn was delicious and the fish tacos were great as well. I think this place is a welcome addition to south beach and I will definitely see myself returning many times to enjoy the tacos. I could have used a toothpick after the corn and there wasn't one to be found.

Michael G.
Everyone is talking about this place and for good reason. Thiso gringo likeo!
(5)
Brian M.
Tried it a couple of times to be fair. The Chicken Nachos are not very good. They use some kind of white liquid cheese that reminds me of Velveeta! They charge a dollar for each salsa you want which is like McDonald's charging for ketchup. Was really hopeful of this place but I guess I'll have to walk another 6 blocks to Lime from now on.

This place is absolutely wonderful!! The service was excellent as well as the food! I stuck with the good ol' fried chicken taco which makes my mouth water just thinking about it! I am a huge guacamole fan which is also something they do well...I could put that stuff on everything! I topped it all off with a classic margarita, mmmm delicious!! I am definitely coming back for more!!

I'm giving this place an extra star because the staff is really nice and fast, but that's it. The tacos themselves are not bad, but somehow they are flavorless, the chicken and the fish were completely dry. How do you fix this? with salsas! But here comes the problem. How can this place call itself "Taqueria"?. Not to be mean, but how can you run a taco place without salsas? There is a saying in Mexico 'A taco without salsa is not a taco' and Huahua's fails greatly in this aspect. Hot sauce bar will never replace the traditional tomato, cilantro, onion and lime sauce. Not even the non-authentic or tex-mex places miss this, what is wrong here?. You are not even able to buy a sauce as a side. And secondly, Mexican cuisine?, not because you use typical ingredients found in mexican cuisine makes the dish mexican, you have to use them correctly. I know the idea of the chef is to introduce us the different flavors by using different ingredients, but then I guess he picked the wrong concept. My error: came here expecting mexican food. PD: The chips are tasteless as well.

This place is pretty darn good. I've eaten here twice and so far I've had the following: Queso dip is good, on the thin side. The fish tacos both crispy and grilled. I love the fish tacos but think there should be a little more fish, kind of skimpy on the meat. The shortrib enchilada with red sauce is my favorite thing. The rib meat is tender and the red sauce is very spicy. It's a pretty big enchilada but $7.50 is a little pricey. I always walk out of here with a $15 tab and I'm only drinking iced tea. It's definitely a treat and not a daily thing. If the prices were a little cheaper I'd eat here more often.

This place is nice... The staff is super nice and very friendly. I visited because I saw it on Ch 7 news and it looked appetizing. I parked quickly and was the first in line. I got the elote, pollo al pastor and crispy fish taco. The elote was different, I liked it. The pollo taco wasn't really to my taste. I'm not saying its bad it just wasn't for me. The fish was good too but I didn't like all the slaw. Yet and still the staff alone would make me stop by for a margarita. Next time I'll try different things and specify.

I like this place. A) it's fast B) it's close to me C) The salad is large D) the meat is tasty E) the corn is delish..... Thanks!

All I have to say is FRIED CHICKEN TACO! It will change your life! But be careful....you WILL get addicted and will begin to crave it daily! It's seriously that amazing. But just once I did make myself get something besides the fried chix taco so I tried the Braised short rib enchilada with lemon cream sauce...FAB-U-LOUS!!!!! I could eat them all day every day if I wouldn't end up being a million pounds. Keep on keeping on Chef Todd! Your food is as fabulous as you :) If thats even possible!

Mediocre at best. How can you serve tacos with no salsa bar, or at least a few salsitas with the order? Just shameful. Just head south Alton three blocks and eat at Lime. Fresher, more variety, better ambiance, better value.

Best tourist trap establishment I have ever tried! Excellent selection of hot sauces to choose from. Kudos to whoever came up with this amazing establishment!

Lulu K.
This place does not have a whole lot of competition here on the beach. The shrimp taco and short rib taco are extremely good. The mahi, no big deal. You can have any taco set up as a salad but I found the ingredients to be a bit skimpy. I'd pay a couple of dollars more to get more protein. I'm still a fan. The service is VERY friendly.

Niloy T.
OMG - Breakfast Tacos are even better than back home in Austin. Their other tacos are really fresh/delicious & the staff was super friendly. Best tacos I've had in South Florida! I'd def check it out and makes me go all the way to the beach just for yummy Mex

I was really impressed. Have been here a few times for lunch, and the dishes continue to amaze me. Although the menu is simple, it is very tasty. The chicken enchiladas with lemon butter sauce are a favorite. Quite affordable for south beach, and the ambiance is totally laid back. Definitely should try.

Emily L.
South Beach needed a good, simple taco place and this is it. Who needs a salsa bar when you have over 30 crazy hot sauces to choose from?! The fried chicken taco and the breakfast taco are by far my favorites, while my boyfriend loves the fried pescado and short rib taco. There is something for everyone (even the dogs!), including the addicting chips and queso. There is also a cool phone charging station where you can hook up your phone or iPad while you eat. It's also nice that they are open till 5am on Friday and Saturday.

"change your heart, it will astound you" says the song and this is exactly what happened to me after coming back to huahuas and receiving a private message from them about my review. his message was polite and straight forward. its a clear sign he acknowledged the issues i raised which is - in my opinion - what yelp is all about. i went back because huahuas is near my office and i wanted to give them another try. after having tried most of their tacos, i must say that they are tasty. i also got to try the nachos, which are huge and well charged and the grilled corn. if i had to choose from one of their tacos i would go for the crispy fish one. the vegetarian tacos are very good although a bit close to each other on flavor profile, could be the sauces. but i cant say im not a fan of this place, i go back too often not to admit i like eating there. i have not tried the paletas yet, but soon... soon.

Luis C.
The service is quick and the tacos spot on. My favorites are the short rib, friend chicken, and carnitas tacos. Great place for a quick and delicious bite. And it's conveniently located on the corner of Alton and Lincoln! Arroz con leche paleta is out of this world.

Jennifer B.
What a fun spot! Great location near Lincoln Rd, and tasty food! I have sampled many of the different tacos and dishes and have yet to be disappointed. Perfect spot to grab a bite before or after a movie at the theatre.

I heard about this place on Deco Drive this week and was really intrigued, so I decided to stop in for lunch today. I must say THANK YOU LOUIS AGUIRRE! These tacos are off the hook, and the Texan in me thanks the guys responsible for this little taco haven in South Beach. I hate to admit that I ate this much but here goes.... Breakfast taco: filling and crazy good, oozing with pork green chili and egg yolk, the avocado taco, deep fried avocado, yeah I said it, and yeah, they make it! I also had the ridic short rib taco and a grilled corn on a stick. Also, a big thanks to the girls in front that wouldn't let me leave without a paleta, sooo good. I left fat & happy, relieved I walked, because now I need the exercise.

Really tasty, freshly handcrafted tacos. Worth the wait. And the elote (grilled corn w parm cheese and spices) was one of the best I've very had. Good place for lunch and a beer after a long bike ride home from the beach.

Best damn tacos in Miami period!

Mel W.
Everything we had here was great! Queso mac & cheese was amazing, BBQ short ribs enchiladas with fried egg was delish, nachos with carnitas was yummy, and jalepeno cornbread was great. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend!!!

Micaela I.
Excellent guacamole, margaritas and tacos, especially the fried chicken and short rib tacos. I was not surprised at all to then meet the owner and learn he was a fellow Longhorn! Delish surprise! Hook Em!

This is my new favorite place in South Beach. The tacos are awesome! And dare I say it, the service is great! I highly recommend the short rib tacos. I'm also a big fan of the fish tacos. You really can't go wrong here!

Noelle S.
I liked, but did not love the tacos. The ingredients were creative and fresh but i felt as if everything tasted like cabbage. I like cabbage but felt it overwhelmed the taco. That said I will go back and try different items. Really friendly staff.

Robby M.
I tried these tacos for the first time over July 4th weekend. I honestly can say these are the best tacos I've ever had. The varieties were great and the portions were filling. Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or after-hours, make sure you check this place out. You won't regret it!

My gf and I went to HT after reading so many great things about it. Yes it is hip, and it appears everything is fresh, and parking is even easy to find on an early Friday night. Unfortunately, our Mexican Cokes were warm and our food was cold. The two gentleman sitting next to us had warm beer as well. We tried the Pollo al Pastor taco salad which was ok but a bit salty and cold. We also had 3 tacos (grilled Mahi, chili rubbed shrimp, and carnitas) that were also cold. Maybe we should not have had the carnitas because the oil from them saturated the other two and ruined the meal. We also shared the Queso-Mac. Well, we started to...it was too cold and stuck together. We took a bite of each dish and decided to leave. The bus boy asked us what was wrong as we got up and apologized but did not rectify the situation. It was only a $30 meal so I was not going to say anything, but he should have told the manager. Or better yet, even the owners who just happen to own Haven a couple of doors down. If you are going for this type of food hit up Lime Fresh on Alton just a few blocks south or even make the trek to 14th between Washington and Collins where T-Mex is. They both are more fresh and HT could learn a few things from them!

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.

Hosts and cooks don't speak English. Rice in my burrito was either stale or not cooked enough. I complained when asked how my meal was. Everyone just looked at each other in confusion. I threw my meal away and walked out. Not worth the headache. Don't waste your time here
(1)Jennifer D.
I was in Miami for 5 day vacation and came to this place twice. All of the various tacos I had were great! I really enjoyed the Crispy Pescado that had pineapple on it. The Guaco was my second fav. So much yummy guac and veggies. It is an inexpensive spot in Miami beach where it seems like most meals cost a small fortune. Everyone that I was vacationing with also loved this place. The only thing that could improve was their seating. It's kind of small and only outside. However it is still a great spot with a good experience with knowledgable cashiers that are willing to help you order and nice wait staff.
(5)Brandie R.
The most reasonably priced delicious food and extra great customer service!! Soooo good, go here!

I eat at Huahua's at least weekly, and I am a huge fan. If you want to go with Mexican-esque food, your best options on the beach are: a) Taquiza's on Collins for tacos; b) Bodega on 16th for tortas; c) Huahua's on Lincoln for meat burritos; d) MyCeviche on Washington in SoFi for seafood burritos [the octopus burrito is the best thing I've eaten from a takeout place in SoBe]. Huahua's holds a special place in my heart for not once getting my name right. I have been 20+ times and had them call me: Pesten; Bracten; Poston; Bresten; Justice; Cristian. It's a treat to try to guess what they'll call me next! I go to Huahua's for one thing and one thing only: the carnitas burrito. In a world of many food options, you can look to other places to do tacos, tortas, salad, and seafood better. The carnitas burrito is the best thing on the menu. Don't get the tacos. Come on, man! Go to Taquiza. What I like so much about Huahua's burritos is that they press them on the grill, which brings them to a level Chipotle fans could only dream of. Also, in the carnitas burrito they use cabbage which is totally unexpected and awesome. Also, the hot sauces are on point. The jalabanero is my favorite, along with the Huahua's original. Service is fine, except for the fact that they can't get my name right (PRO TIP: look at my credit card. It's listed there). Usually I'm going off-hours and things are quick.
(5)Johnny P.
Really good Taqueria! I hate the tourist spots all over Miami with basic food and everything being over priced. Found This spot because of watching Guy fieri show on the food network. Everything we had was really on point will be back every time I'm in Miami.
(5)Julianna S.
Update! Yum! Have been eating at Huahuas and I have to say they deserve an extra star. Haven't had a complaint. Fast, fresh and delicious, my go too for tacos.
(4)Spade S.
The tacos are ok but outrageously pricey for what you get. That would be the case even if they had table service, but the place is really a takeout joint with outside tables that are often not wiped clean. They have beer for $5-$6 a bottle, but cannot make micheladas. Their fixin's counter is always a mess and they have trimmed their fixin options to only 2 kinds of their own sauces. No Salsa, Tabasco, Tapatio or Cholula. The only thing that keeps them in business is the location which is good for people watching (hence the 2 stars).
(2)The Vegetarian Foodie N.
Tacos with flair. Very nicely done - taking basic tacos and adding some sophistication - and reasonably priced, especially for South Beach. The avocado tacos are tasty. They offer more than tacos. The elote is very good. Primarily takeout with a a patio outside. Has a few tables inside.
(5)Sabrina L.
Had my eye on this restaurant for quite sometime and was finally able to give it a try last week. It's located close to Lincoln road, tables are outside...nice and laidback atmosphere. I tried the mushrooms and fried fish tacos and both were really good, a Lil bit on the spicy side...but nothing I couldn't handle, and of course I took advantage of the yelp offer which is a free queso blanco and chips..which was really good as well...the chips were crisp and the queso blanco dip was rich and quite tasty. Service was fast and friendly.
(4)Didi L.
The food and the service was amazing! Also they served the food so fast! It's rare when I leave a review but this place was so good I had to take the time to leave a review. Really delicious food here
(5)Matthew C.
The fried chicken tacos and steak tacos are awesome! Every time I come to Miami I'll definitely make it a point to come by and pick up a taco or 12
(5)Renee M.
Love this place! I'm Mexican and I have to say that they are not real Mexican tacos...but they are the best tacos I've ever tried in Miami. You must try the fried chicken tacos, the elote, the mac and queso, the shrimp salad, and the nachos!!! Oh, and for dessert the arroz con leche paleta is delicious!!!
(5)Jess H.
We were in Miami for the South Beach Food & Wine Festival and stopped by Huahua's on the recommendation of a friend who lives in town. The strawberry margarita was 5 stars and I typically don't care for margs. It wasn't overly sweet and it was deceivingly alcoholic. I also ordered the grilled steak and grilled mahi tacos on corn tortillas which were both great. The jalapeños on the grilled steak were spicy - just how I like them - but I could see how some people may think they are too intense. My only complaint with the experience is we placed our order then we're waiting outside for at least 20-25 minutes before the arrive at our table. But we somehow ended up with an extra carnitas taco after we asked one of the staff members about our order so they may have sent it as an apology for the wait.
(4)Sonia K.
Love this place! Large variety of tacos, which are all delicious. Really can't go wrong with anything you pick...Will be back!
(5)David A.
Great food, but bad customer service. I tried to get my free cheso and chips with my Yelp Check In, and they refused to assist.
(2)Alexander G.
This place really exceeded my expectations! The Mexican corn was AMAZING, perfectly prepared. You can taste every flavor in each bite! The tacos were great. My favorite were the grilled steak.. I also tried the carnitas and the grilled chicken. So good! Must try if you're in the area.
(5)Linh D.
I really liked this place, even if it's probably a bit overpriced for what it is. It's away from the main strip but worth the short walk for the food. The corn is very good, as is the mahi taco. The breakfast one is good but maybe too greasy and the chicken one didn't have enough flavour. Largely great but maybe a bit overpriced.
(4)Ellie B.
Don't miss out on the elotes!
(4)Stephanie S.
Can I say small & disorganized oh & dirty. I'm so sad I brought my boyfriend for fish tacos here. I thought I was taking his out for a treat boy was I was wrong. The selection is pretty wide but very odd toppings in each & when we asked the lady to take out toppings she didn't understand until I told here 5 times :(. The chicken tacos are yummy but the sauce is very spice. They can automatically included a cup of water with each other since spice tacos are there thing. You can be told what you want to make the section process simpler. There are nearly any tables to seat at so please don't expect a table to be available. This peace has potentially but it needs a lot of love & revamping.
(2)Jocelyn C.
Someone cure me of my Huahua's addiction. Speedy service and delicious tacos - seriously, the waiters and waitresses are amazingly efficient at managing an influx of orders. My go-to dishes are the breakfast taco (substantial) + the shrimp taco. While some might be put off by the pulsing club music they tend to play on their speakers - well, it's Miami. My friends visiting from out of town even risked missing their outbound flight to get one last taste of Huahua's savory goodness. The store also provides iPhone chargers, which is always greatly appreciated!
(5)Dre B.
Not really a tacos guy but came here with a couple of friends and liked the food. High quality ingredients and it filled me up, surprisingly. Funny thing is someone else with me ordered the friend chicken tacos and I hadn't even noticed them on the menu. Which means I have to come back to try that before I go fully vegan!
(5)Laurys B.
I honestly don't even go to huahua's for their tacos. I go there specifically for the elote and the free cheese & chips you get when you check in(AMAZING). Don't get me wrong, their tacos are good. They're just not worth the price. The elote, on the other hand, is the BEST. I've had it several times and it's always on point. The mayo, cilantro, and cheese added on top of the elote is a perfect combination of flavors. The parking as well as the lack of seating are the reasons why huahua's is getting three stars from me. It's impossible to find a place to sit most of the time.
(3)Jennifer L.
Just amazing! This place left me and my boyfriend in love. I ordered the fried chicken/fish tacos and a elotes and it was just amazing that we went back the second day vacationing in south beach. The service is great the tacos were juicy and cooked amazing. I highly suggest this to EVERYONE and the pricing is not bad at all unlike other fancy places who have decent food plates for so expensive. All I have to say is this was the best Mexican place I tried in my life for tacos and their elotes.
(5)Mair M.
My new favorite Mexican place on south beach! It's different that other Mexican restaurants. The tacos are so different but SO YUMMY!!! the first thing to get is the Elote corn!! OMG this is DELISH!! the seasoning they put on the corn is addictive. At first when the cashier recommended The fried chicken tacos...I was a little skeptical but I am so glad I listened. Very different but tasty!! It's a large Fried chicken piece inside a soft taco with coleslaw. A must try!!
(4)Vaughn E.
Upon visiting Miami Beach, I was told from every local here that the tacos were off the hook, out of this world, and the only reason people move here. All of these statements apply directly to HuaHua's Taqueria. Do you want a taco that is as innovative as it is beautiful? Then this is where you fall in love. The fried chicken taco goes straight to your heart with it's jalapeno cornbreadedness and delicioso specialty sauce. But don't think that's their only big bang item. Every taco on the menu was put together by a mad scientist. Specifically, Giovanni and his team. Oh did I mention the sauces? Don't eat your taco naked, dress it up with some Serrano Limon. Go here twice or thrice or make it your everyday lunch. Try as many menu items as you can and thank Giovanni for his gift to Miami Beach. It's your lunch and you can sing if you want to.
(5)Lucaz Z.
Very sad to be writing this but for the past few months Huahuas has gone from my favorite taco joint to the taco joint that is half-assing it all. The ingredients have decreased in quality, the tacos are much smaller, and out of the 20 different types of original sauces they offered, only 3 are left that have been watered down in sketchy dispensers. With two new taquerias on the beach that have impressed me with their innovative skills and quality (Taquiza and Bodega) these guys at Huahuas have to step it up and go back to basics.
(1)Faby P.
This cute little spot is tucked away on the outskirts of the armpit of the beach AKA Lincoln Rd. Small and hidden, this gem offers some of the best Mexican grub this girl has ever tasted. For reals. Their queso blanco and chips were excellent, the cheese was so creamy and so tasty. The guac was chunky and filled with little zings of jalapeño deliciousness. The pollo al pastor taco was super tender and the chunks of pineapple were oh so sweet which went so perfectly with the tanginess of the pastor seasoning/sauce. My absolute favorite and the dish I can't stop talking/dreaming/obsessing about is their fried chicken taco - fried. chicken. taco. This magnificent creation is nothing short of genius... a beautifully fried, juicy chicken tender topped with some sort of ranch, cabbage, cilantro and jalapeño cornbread chunks. To die for. My husband had a burrito which he enjoyed, but I didn't pay much attention since I was having a passionate love affair with my fried chicken taco. Staff is attentive and very friendly. The place is small, they offer some high top bar like seating inside and just a couple of tables outside. It is a definitely worth the long drive and crappy beach parking. We will soon become regulars.
(5)April W.
Omg! When I tell you these were the best soft tacos I ever had and i only care for hard tacos! This place is perfecto! I dream about going to Miami just for the corn and tacos! The corn on the cob is seasoned to perfection with the best cheese and it's melted to perfection! This was our first stop once we got to Miami and got settled and I couldn't have chosen a better spot! Our trip was in April and I'm just getting a chance to write a review because I've been busy but I couldn't let time lapse any further! Initially our fried chicken taco was overcooked but they didn't hesitate to fix it for us do they still get 5 stars despite the minor setback!
(5)Edgar S.
I'm Mexican and I know a good taco when I eat one lol. I didn't think I was gonna find good tacos in Miami till I found this lil spot. I had the fish taco, alpastor and steak taco and a corn on the cob everything was good ass hell!! Specially the fish taco that shit was bomb! The steak was nice and tender the alpastor was good. And they put some kind of sauce that's went well with the tacos. A must try in my opinion!
(5)Katie H.
Of course for my first time I gotta pick stuff that my fellow yelpees recommend!! So after getting out of our movie I already planned what I was going to get: -Free chips & queso for checking in (yee!) -Elote -Fried chicken taco, shrimp taco, Guaco taco. I'm sad. The cashier said they ran out of the Elote AND Guaco taco :'( So instead I got the carnitas taco. Fried chicken & shrimp tacos were so delicious! Carnitas was nothing special, pretty bland I ended up giving half to my bf. He also got the chicken& shrimp which he loved but the steak taco wasn't anything special. Overall pretty good, chill spot for a late bite or super casual lunch or dinner. I need to go back for this damn Elote & guaco taco!
(3)Varun S.
Simply great tasting food... I had shrimp & chicken tacos and they were both quite a work of art ... Highly recommended ... Super thumbs up!!
(5)Anita G.
The food is yummy and the service is great for this "fast food" type of place...I'm always asking them to take or ad something to my orders since I don't agree 100% with their combinations but they are always super cool about it. Kinda sucks to seat outside now during the day with all the construction in Miami Beach but it's not their fault :(
(4)Jennifer M.
Mostly great. 3 tacos for $11 flour tortilla, corn if u ask for it. Best are: steak, breakfast, mushroom & fried chicken.
(4)Sebastian F.
I haven't tried many taco places but Huahua's met my taste from the beginning. It's fair in price, tastes fresh and is fast. I recommend the grilled shrimp taco and the fried chicken taco, just delicious. I can't get enough, and although appetite can be nearly infinite, two or three tacos are enough to make you filled and happy. Awesome guys, keep it up, you're doing excellent!!!
(5)Dani H.
My favorite taco spot in Miami. Every taco is delicious, MUST TRY THE CORN :), small casual seating location. Great place to unwind and enjoy a frozen margarita.
(4)Carlos S.
Amazing tacos. My favorite is the guaco taco! I'm not sure why anyone would ever want to go to that horrendous place called Coyo Taco in Wynwood, after trying Huahua's.
(5)Kristen M.
Dearest Yelpees, I kept hearing lots of shiznit from my friends about this place. The food is AMAZING! Kind of reminds me of pizza rústica in south beach except with tacos.
(4)Paty D.
Affordable mex food if that's what you're looking for in Lincoln. The corn is my fav.
(3)Joelle B.
Love Huahuas. A CONSISTANTLY delicious local taco joint, separated from the normal Lincoln Road draw. My fave is the Breakfast Taco. I've tried almost all of them and they are all delish! The crispy fish and guaco taco and pastor are also favorites! Quick, consistent, dog-friendly (Huahua!), delicioso tacos!
(5)Krystal S.
First off, this place has a "Los Verdes" and "Los Perros" vibe to it except with mexican food instead of colombian food. Its delicious food, served fast and opened late! Sounds like a winner to me! I ordered the crispy pescado which was a small soft taco with breaded fish, pico de gallo and cabbage... it was so delicious! I squeezed some lime into it and a few drops of the hot sauces they have at hand and I was in 'late night eats' love! I also ordered the half order of the elote which is half a corn on the cob smothered in a certain cheese and spices. I only ordered the half because I had never tried corn made this way, but after i ate the half I got up to order a whole elote this time... it was THAT good! I definitely recommend this spot for a late night eat!
(4)Zakiyya W.
A little pricey for a taco, but I can't stop going back. Especially for the steak taco with jalapeños a
(4)Caro D.
Deep fried avocados on guac on tacos? Wait, what. Vegetarians go for the Guaco because it has no meat, but you should go for it because of the fried avocado over guac over grilled veggie combo. Drizzled with spicy tofu crema - it's like the nutrituous version of heaven. The elote (mexican corn) is out of control. Stop by for a quick, tasty and filling taco lunch. I went the way of the lunch special with two Al Pastor tacos (charred pinapple, onions, cilantro, crema) and half an elote and a soft drink for the price of three tacos.
(4)Jenn S.
The highlight of my trip to miami! We tried the mahi mahi, fried chicken, and guaco (fried avocado) and loved all of them so much, we had to come back again. The free queso and chips (with Yelp check in) was also delicious. Elote corn was good, but not mind blowing; save your stomach for the fried chicken tacos. Reasonably priced tacos at 3 of one kind for $11. Can't wait to come back. :)
(5)MICHELLE C.
After an amazing Elite event where this restaurant really catered to us I could not wait to go and try some of their dishes. A friend and I went for a late lunch. From the moment you walk in you are warmly greeted by a very friendly staff. Very small inside with a counter top with a few chairs. No problem sit outside and enjoy our beautiful weather this time of the year. They have quite a few tables outside. The menu is not large at all. We ordered queso dip and chips to start. The queso was very tasty, a bit runny, I prefer a bit thicker but the taste was quite good. The chips were fresh, thin and crispy. I ordered the fried chicken taco and short rib taco. Both my taco's were great. From the drizzles of sauces and ingredients that they combine on their taco's make them unique. This is not your typical fast food Mexican. I found it to be gourmet Mexican. The prices are not cheap but well worth the $3 and change for a great tasting taco. We also ordered the frozen margarita's, not a fan of them. Having said that I do prefer on the rocks and the Margaritas from Haven were awesome, same owners I have been told. When you walk in they have a shelf of many different hot sauces to choose from. Woah, I tried a very hot one #18, it will make you cry....well almost. Great service, cool place with good food for a quick enjoyable meal.

Yum! This was my second time here. I tried the carnitas, pollo al pastor, fried chicken and shrimp. Food came out pretty quickly. My favourite was the carnitas but all were good. The corn cob is also a must. We got the lime margaritas for happy hour and they were good too and very reasonably priced.

There is a Taco God. And he/she lives in the kitchen at Huahua's. Start with the Elote, a sensual marriage of grilled mexican corn + spicy mayo + cotija cheese + cilantro.. If I could just eat copious amounts of Elote, I would.. But then the Tacos start signing their siren song. Grilled Mahi - best fish taco in Miami Beach. a nice portion of freshly grilled fish + chili lime vinaigrette Guaco - a creative way to showcase fried avocado (!) Chili Rubbed Shrimp - if the Shrimp is the rub, the Jicama is the tug (and crunch) Fried Chicken - JUST SLAP ME IN THE FACE AND BRING ME MORE. NOW. Breakfast - like a warm hug.. my favorite for late Fri/Sat night, or a perfect hangover cure the next afternoon The supporting cast consists of beers-I-drink-when-on-a-beach-vacation, margaritas, plus Jarritos and MexiCoke. Go here now. And bring your dog, because they have treats behind the counter for the lil guy (!)

Super fast to-go orders. Staff are nice and friendly, they welcome you as soon as you walk in.

This is my go to "I don't know what I want for dinner and don't want to cook" restaurant. All of the tacos are good and the prices are reasonable. I usually get the salad with chicken and grilled veggies. The salad is a blend of romaine, kale, and cabbage so it has a nice consistency and crunch to it. They have a great homemade dressing. For tacos, I would recommend them all but the fried fish and breakfast taco in particular. make sure you check out the sauce bar. They usually have 4 or so homemade sauces with varying flavors and spicyniesses. Good food and you can usually get out of there with 3 tacos and a beer for less than $15. Not bad for south beach, especially on Lincoln.

Decided while in south beach to give this place a go. It's been on my to try list for a long time. The staff were nice, we ordered from the counter. The folks delivering our food were extremely confused, but it was sorted out. We tried some of the tacos and other apps. This place just doesn't deserve the ratings it gets. I found the food to be generally bland and not particularly well done. There is almost no indoor seating, and some outdoor seating. I'm someone who eats a good amount of Mexican I cook myself, and in other cities around the country where they have good Mexican food. Unfortunately in Miami there isn't much to choose from.

I'd been eagerly awaiting Huahua's opening since sampling a delicious fried chicken taco at HaVen a while back, and finally made it over for lunch on a recent weekday. All the taco offerings (and starters and enchiladas) sounded great. Between a friend and I, we ordered the crispy pescado, the chili rubbed shrimp, and the breakfast taco, the elote, and guac and chips. The guac was tasty, but had a bit too much lime for my liking. The elote was great - grilled corn smothered in cotija cheese and spices. As for the tacos, of the 3 we had, the crispy pescado was my favorite. The breakfast taco was good, but could've used a second tortilla to make it easier to eat. Prices are reasonable - you can easily get a filling meal for $10-12 a person. One misstep - they charge $1.50 for a little side of sour cream. A little unreasonable, if you ask me. Definitely looking to checking out more of Huahua's menu, including some frozen drink that I enviously eyed on neighboring patrons' tables.

Picture this: A girl's weekend on Lincoln Road. What a gorgeous November day spent dodging plump jellyfish and tanning our bodacious booties on South Beach. Later in the afternoon towards dusk, we take a stroll down Lincoln rocking our sexy tan lines, popping in and out of the tourist shops (many selling winter clothing surprisingly - WTF). All of this action works up a thirst and hunger that only a margarita and some tacos can satisfy. We make a quick happy hour pit stop at Rosa Mexicano (see review) and take advantage of their epic "Hora Feliz" specials. The house margarita is made with Pepe Lopez and unfortunately that dude ain't no friend of mine. 1800 Silver is always a crowd pleaser. So, I drink about four of these and then head over to Huahua's, or as my friend Kim refers to it, "Who-ha's" (LOL). Huahau's is a well-oiled, street taco making machine. Even though this place sits on Lincoln Road, they have the unpretentious, chill vibe of Wynwood. A few tables are scattered outside - more outside then in. The menu is simple - all the usual stuff, salsa, guac, cheese dip as well as their signature tacos and burritos. By the time we arrive, I am literally starving and quickly order the first few tacos that catch my attention - the Hongos Magicos (portobello, grilled veggie and tofu creme), the Grilled Mahi with radish, cilantro and chili-lime vinaigrette and finally, the fried chicken taco with jalapeno cornbread, cabbage, ancho ranch and cilantro. Each one better than the last with the clear winner being the fried chicken taco. This was just a VIP party in my mouth and the guest list includes Taco - party of 3. I grabbed a few hot sauce samples and doused everything with the spicy fire water. I had to cool off my tongue with some Modelo. I finished inhaling the tacos and belched loudly - a compliment to the chef! Tacos are $3.49-$3.99 depending on what you fancy - beef, chicken, fried fish or veggie. They have something for everyone and the price is right. I see can easily see more of Huahua's in my near future.
(5)Stefanie S.
I've been here a million times and for some reason I just cant get into it. There is nothing wrong with the food etc - it's just Meh for me.
(2)Chetna J.
These are the best tacos in Miami. Get Guaco and Honchos and you will not be disappointed.
(5)Ari H.
i love everything here esp the pollo al pastor! I've tried other mexican restos all over the area and nothing beats huahuas! Don't waste your money going to other places! In huahuas, you get what you're paying for and more! They also have a huge selection of spicy sauces!!! 100/100!!!! Xx
(5)Ed B.
Great Burritos and Tacos, best in town to be exact! Will be back!
(5)Luke A.
Anything less than 5 stars for this place is crazy. It's a small taco place so you will prob end up sitting outside. The ambience isn't anything magical but the food is! The food is UNDER-priced for the quality especially on Lincoln road. You must get: Mahi Mahi Taco Fried Chicken Taco Steak Taco And definitely the Elote (corn w aioli and cheese) It's a nice mix of authentic Mexican with American twists on the menu. All of the tacos seemed to have big pieces of meat so the taco doesn't fall apart all over you when you eat it. They also have a big variety of hot sauces.

Note to self: never order another jalapeño cornbread ever again. Number one, it is not corn bread, it is something loosely related to corn bread, and number two, it has jalapeños in it, making the supposedly sweet treat into a fire bomb. I have searched relentlessly for the good balance of jalapeño and corn bread, but whenever corn bread is touched by the green pepper, there goes the dynamite, boom! the thing is spicy as hell. Thank you Bobby! Huahua's Taquerias' Jalapeño cornbread is no different, except that it is moist and fresh. It is probably the spiciest, hottest one I have ever had. For that I have to say "WTF Huahua?" I came to Huahua's specifically for the jalapeño cornbread (the tacos were the added bonus), because someone I met at a bar, whose name I still don't know, started screaming "OMG Huahua's jalapeño cornbread is the bomb" and someone had to stop him, so I told him I'll try it and, ethical being that I am, that is what I did, even though I don't know the dude and will probably never see him, but he left my psyche scarred. And hungry. The taqueria at Huahua is not a real taqueria. Not a traditional one, I would say. They do serve their food in tacos, but still not a taqueria. I would feel more comfortable calling it "the nightmare of a hardcore communist Mexican nationalist pig", subtitled with an anti-American and anti-imperialist anarchist, the one whose worst nightmare is to see his precious autochthonous tacos filled with fried chicken and topped with BBQ sauce while his picture of the Virgen de Guadalupe is replaced with the picture of Pamela Anderson (sorry Kim K., you will never achieve goddess status). But they do have vey amazing Mexican taco inspired food. And, they have a very amazing selection of hot sauces, with some bottles also available for sale, I may add. The most spicy is the Huahua sauce itself. It is a nice healthy level of heat. The "tacos" are also really good and you can't go wrong with any. They do not reflect the humble lifestyle of a Mexican countryman, but they are a good reflection of a twisted modernist capitalist mind, very tasty and very enjoyable. In other words, you must try them tacos. Huahua's also serves taco salads and enchiladas are available. Jalapeño cornbread you said?, well, I dare you.

I've been waiting for quite awhile to eat here and unfortunately left a little disappointed. The person bringing out the food brought us the wrong food on two separate occasions and I observed this happen to other patrons as well. Once we finally got the right order, the food left a little to be desired. The queso was watery and barely stuck to the chips and my carnitas had so many raw onions you could hardly taste the rest. The standout of the meal was the Pescado taco. I wish I would have just got three of these and forgot about the rest. I think there is potential here, but they need to get their operations in order and fine tune some of their recipes.
(3)Tomas G.
I have eaten at Huahua's Taqueria several times over the past year and their food can be quite delicious! I have only tried tacos and guacamole with chips. Their food often consists of great flavors with good quality ingredients. Unfortunately, there seems to be a consistency issue. On several occasions I have received items such as the crispy pescado tacos cold. In terms of price, I think the tacos are at a fair amount compared to similar spots. It's a simple fix that could really make this a great place!
(3)Alaina L.
I enjoyed Huahua's. I like that they're building a brand with all the knick-knacks and souvenirs for sale, in addition to many other hot sauce brands available for purchase. Very clever. I also like that they're based in Miami and this is the only location thus far. I really like that (in addition to many of their competitors) they have a house made hot sauce bar. Most of them were a bit too vinegary for me, but still I enjoyed tasting them all. 1) Mexcellent (mild) 2) Chipotle Malt (mild) 3) Serrano y Lime (medium) 4) Hot & sticky- honey habañero (medium) 5) Jalebañero- (hot) MY FAVE! 6) Sangre del Diablo (hot) They were out of this last one when we were here, so I'm looking forward to trying it next time. I had the Grilled Mahi taco and Chili Rubbed Shrimp taco. My boyfriend had the Fried Chicken Taco and Carnitas Burrito. All were very tasty and flavorful with a lot of texture contrast. I did find the 'jalapeño cornbread' croutons on top of the fried chicken taco a bit disappointing. I would rather see the chicken actually tossed and fried in a jalapeño cornbread batter and maybe topped with more jalapeños instead of just garnishing with mediocre cornbread croutons. This place is very comparable to LIME Fresh Mexican (probably it's main competitor in MB and also based in Miami). It's a toss up for me though. I think LIME's margaritas are disgusting but I enjoy Limes salsa bar better. I have yet to try Huahua's margaritas and enjoyed their shrimp taco more than LIME's, because it had more flavor. My boyfriend liked the carnitas burrito, but still thinks that LIME's Queso Burrito beats it anyday. So like I said, there are items on each menu that I enjoy. They're both really good and reliable 'fast casual' Mexican spots. So you be the judge. But as of yesterday, I am definitely a fan of this new kid on the block. And I'm excited to go back for dinner to try mas tacos, unas margaritas, el Mac 'n' Queso y roasted corn! ¡Buen provecho!
(3)Chris V.
Mmmmm taco heaven. Five stars for variety and having great margaritas. They also have amazing nachos that works for a great snack for 3-4 people
(5)Aleka A.
This amazing little place really is tucked away from the Lincoln Road that we know.its on the sidewalk across the street from Rosa Mexicano.which by the way you shouldn't bother going to LOL. I love authentic Mexican food and these folks have it.Everything is incredibly fresh and flavorful and the folks that work there provide excellent service.i. got tacos de hongo,an elote and a frozen margarita de fresa ! I find myself just saying oh my gosh after every bite lol. The owner of this place has a beautiful chihuahua named Jalapeña and the logo has her on it! Gotta support any business that loves dogs! Oh and I just found out that they have a deep fried avocado taco so I may end up going back today just to try that!
(5)Sergio P. T.
Good effective way to begin a great vacation ! Try the corn, the tacos and make sure you request corn tortillas ! Great little place . Only downside is the smoke from smokers around .
(4)Rezaul K.
I have had fish tacos in a few different places and this place was definitely up to par. We've had their Grilled Mahi and Chili Rubbed Shrimp taco, and I would definitely return for those Chili Rubbed Shrimp tacos. Perfectly spiced and cooked, served with mouth watering sauce will have your craving for more. If you do order the Grilled Mahi, try that before you try the Spicy Shrimp. Don't forget to order a side of Guacamole and Chips. If you can, make it to stay, elect for a table on the sidewalk, and enjoy the cool ocean breeze while enjoying some good tacos.
(4)Naty K.
Maybe I don't know how to order, but I came here for tacos (plural, I mean, the menu DOES say "tacoS", not "taco") and ended up getting one measly taco for about $4. I saw some other people that got about 5 tacos in one plate delivered to them, so I am not sure what they ordered, but I was disappointed with the amount of food I got and the price for it. I feel that the cashier could have clarified I was only going to get one taco and confirm this was in fact what I wanted...I was expecting to get 2-4 tacos, after all. The taco was delicious, yes (hence the 3 stars), but I don't feel it's worth the price for one little taco. So, based on that, I am not sure I will be back, plus my friend had the enchilada but was not overly impressed with it. Again, maybe we didn't know what to order, but we're going to give other Mexican places on the beach a try before considering coming back here...$30 for 2 people, considering one only got a single taco, and the salsa and chips appetizer was nothing to write home about just does not justify it for me.
(3)Karolina S.
The crispy chicken burrito was very good! We also got a few of the tacos and everyone loved them! The guac was good and so was the queso blanco that was free with check in. Overall a great place that I would definitely go to again.
(5)Carrie T.
Yummy tacos with a lot of variety. The corn is the star of the show- a must order! There is only outdoor seating and you seat yourself. They were out of homemade salsa on a Friday night (bummer!) but the tacos still had great flavor.
(3)Chris C.
Love the carnitas!!! It's hard to find a place that does Mexican as good as California does and these guys come real close. Best place in Miami
(5)Amie B.
Seriously amazing. From the Mahi tacos, to the elote, and margaritas - you can't go wrong. We will definitely come back while we are in Miami.
(5)Morella M.
Have been to this taqueria several times and everytime it does not seize to impress. The location is great- on Lincoln Road but away from the tourist madness. The service all around is friendly and helpful. Always get a Coronita and some carnitas tacos along with Guacamole and my day is made. Will be back soon!
(5)Laure M.
Great place! Gourmet mexican food in a fast food kind of place. Same system as a fast food: order at the cashier and fast preparation. But the food is fresh, cooked to order and homemade. The offerings are different and it makes it very interesting. The guacamole and chips is very fresh, big lime taste though but it is good. I had the pulled pork enchilada and it was different but so good. I really liked it. My husband got three tacos and was very satisfied. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Natalie G.
Shared Huahua's classic nachos, half an ezote, a fried chicken taco and fried guaco taco. After ordering at the counter we waited about 20 minutes for the food. Thankfully they have fans outside but we managed to get one of their few tables indoors. The fried chicken taco had 1 small piece of chicken, overpriced at 3.99. The fried guaco was definitely unique and had interesting flavors, but not something I'd return back for. The nachos were delicious - especially love their black beans (wish they had a veggie bean taco too) - but the cheese sauce was sitting at the bottom of all the chips which was strange. I had high hopes for the Elote because I LOVE corn on the cob, but was too overdressed for me so you don't taste much of the corn. Loved the latin music playing and the overall freshness of the food, but unfortunately it's overpriced for the amount of food we got and the food wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
(3)Jessica S.
Despite billing itself as a taqueria, tacos are not Huahua's strength. Snub the tacos. Eat a burrito. The grilled chicken burrito is killer! I know, grilled chicken sounds healthy (read: boring and tasteless). But, the chicken is pulled, rather than chunks, and blends seamlessly with the cheese and other less magical ingredients. It goes down so smoothly! The tacos are just disappointing, but not awful. The measly little things sure don't justify their $3 price tag. I tried the grilled mahi mahi (too dry) and the veggie (too oily). Neither had spectacular flavor and the oil-saturated shitake mushrooms bust through the tortilla--should have doubled up! Tip: Spruce up the tacos with some of their Huahua's sauces. Located just west of the main drag on Lincoln Road Mall.. ugh, those tourists. ;).. Huahua's is comparatively deserted and offers unbeatable prices. About $9 for a brick of a burrito, when the rest of Miami Beach is trying to rip you as much for a couple of fries. Order at the counter. Grab a seat. A couple of stools inside and a bunch more tables outside. And devour!
(4)Cassie G.
I heard tacos and Todd Erickson and knew I needed to get to Huahua's immediately. Overall, I loved the food and it definitely left me wanting more. What didn't? The small space inside (barely any room to stand in line!) inclusive of the lack of seating. The fresh eats and friendly staff made up for it but just have to bear in mind the fact you will be dining al fresco. I loved the homemade and warm chips with guac to start my meal and they came super fast, making my wait for tacos not so shabby. I tried the crispy pescado and fried chicken tacos and loved the fish. With things like queso mac, elote, enchiladas, nachos, short rib tacos, and taco salads also on the menu, I think I'm going to be here several times before I can determine a favorite. I wouldn't be deterred by some of these low-star reviews. This is definitely a great spot that deserves some credit for their delicious Mexican eats! I look forward to returning soon.
(4)Betsy E.
Best tacos in Miami Beach. The customer service is great - always friendly people working at Huahua's. The tacos are unique, with a variety of flavors and options. Try the fried chicken taco. I know it sounds weird, but it's awesome. I haven't had a bad taco at Huahua's yet, and I've been there more times than I can count. There isn't a lot of seating, so you have to time your trip before or after the lunch rush. Seating is outdoors, but covered, so it's ok if it's raining, but be prepared to be outside on Lincoln Road. I love it here!
(5)Lindsay P.
There is nothing worse than going to a place, thinking it's one of the only decent places still open, according to past experience (and its hours listed on yelp)...only to find that it's already closed. I never go back to those places. Total deal breaker.
(1)W K.
The best fish taco that I've had in a long time, crispy cornmeal crust and perfectly cooked fish. The elote corn is amazing. Ask for corn tortillas. Simple super clean place. Food is very tasty and the employees seem kind of proud that the joint is popular. I came here twice in the 4 days that I was in Miami Beach. Great quality and value in an,area (lincoln rd) that is usually overpriced poor quality trapping tourists who aren't sure what they are getting into. This place is a great find!! Im happy that I stumbled upon it!
(5)Chelsea C.
First experience at Huahua's and I ordered takeout. Spent $21 and got the guaco taco, veggie salad, and queso&chips to try a couple of things out. To start I will say the guaco taco was really good. Between the fried avocado & and unique sauce I would definitely order it again. The chips & queso were good but nothing extraordinary. Then I opened up the veggie salad (if you couldn't tell already, I am a vegetarian). See the photo I uploaded to my disappointment. I'm still not 100% sure what the blackened/charred veggies that covered the entire salad were. My guess is the portobello but no where in the description did it say they were blackened. After trying to cut one open I realized they were charred all the way through and not edible. Unless I am missing something, this was an extremely lame salad. After I picked off the entire layer the rest of the salad was so-so as it now all tastes charred. Very disappointing especially being as this salad was $10.79!! I am giving them 2 stars because the staff was very pleasant and the guaco taco was good but overall not a good experience. Lesson to me - thoroughly look at the takeout before I get home..
(2)Ivonne P.
Huahua's is my favorite place to get elotes. These are the best ones I've had so far. I'm not crazy about their tacos, but the Mac n' queso is delicious. They have a good selection of paletas and those are pretty good too. I like the way they honor the name of the restaurant by being dog friendly. They have dog treats and plates with water outside for dogs. It's a good place to go if you want to get affordable Mexican food in that area.
(4)Korsan K.
this is as good as it gets. great tacos, good size, reasonable price and very tasty. Quick service. tried many times, for me better than Bodega and Coyo Taco in Wynwood. steak tacos are my favorite.
(5)Ramzi Z.
Best tacos on the beach! Great friendly service. Must try their grilled sweet corn!! It's way too good. Grilled streak tacos & shrimp tacos are amazing. Much better quality than Lime. Check in with yelp to get free chips & salsa:)
(5)Nin S.
Yummy, very tasty, very Cali style. Gave us chips for the wait. Well done!
(4)fernando r.
Best tacos in the entire state of Florida. Taqueria ambience with masterful craft. Reminds me of eating at a Taco stand in Mexico. Amazing ingredients and freshness. The staff is outstanding. Brought to you by the same team who brought you Haven South Beach. Know-how at its best.

Lunch or Late Night Huahuas Hits the Spot Lincoln Road can be a mine field on the culinary scene. Pretty girls promising reduced priced meals and drinks during the day and then so few choices late at night, can result in a very expensive lesson. Now, on the West side of Lincoln, Huauhuas is the place that gives you great Mexican food (and drink) without the South Beach sticker shock. My wife and I decided to try Huahua's the other night. We chose a Friday since that tends to be the busiest night and a good night to try out a new restaurant at its most hectic.... Our first choice was the Elote (3.29) this Grilled Mexican sweet corn was by far our favorite choice. Its like having a corn taco "on the cobb" the blend of spice and cheese with butter has that perfect combination of salt without being overwhelming or greasy. Having a late night craving for something salty after a few beers. GET THE ELOTE. After this great start we chose our main courses. Next up was the Cheese and Bean Enchilada and the Pulled Pork Enchilada (6.79). I really enjoyed my Cheese and Bean with red sauce. Not too much cheese and not too huge a portion which was fine by me. The red sauce had just enough spice to be hot, but not overpowering. I will say I worked up a bit of a sweat, but isn't the point of Mexican food to have some spice? My wife's Pulled Pork Enchilada was good, but she mentioned the Lemon Cream Sauce was a bit bland. After tasting it myself we agreed it needed a bit more acidity. The solution was easy, just add more lemon juice and BANG there's the flavor. My suggestion would be that Huahua's add either more lemon juice or cilantro to the sauce to give it that extra "kick". We then both chose the Mahi Mahi tacos (3.29). Small, simple and well flavored with a side of rice and refried beans. I will say the beans are QUITE spicy, but with the fish add a nice touch. They are that perfect "bite" size and makes you wanting more. Well done. Lastly, to satisfy our sweet tooth, we chose the Paletas (3.49) and Cinnamon Sugar Funnel Cake (3.49). The home made Paletas are really good. Basically frozen juice on a stick, but after that salty/spice meal VERY satisfying! My Passion fruit Paletas was very good and flavorful. I'm anxious to try the other flavors like Fruita Mixta, Coco Con Leche and others. The Cinnamon Sugar Funnel Cake was a bit less of a success. Its fried PERFECTLY, but they really overdid it o the Cinnamon. You could literally scoop it out with a spoon. I think in this case "less is more" just sprinkle the Cinnamon on it and maybe some powdered sugar and I think that would be enough. No need to drown it in Sugar. That said, I still ate the whole thing and found it tasty. The only fault I can find with Huahua's itself is that its rather small inside. Theres really only about 4 chairs to sit down inside, but at least there is room outside now that they have their permit. I will say it fills up fast on the weekends so you have to be quick or otherwise use them for takeout or walking around food. If their business keep up like it was Friday night they may have to expand...and quick. Overall, we both really like Huahuas despite a few "growing pains". I didnt get the chance to sample all their dishes, but will DEFINITELY be back for more. They also have wine, beer and margaritas if you want to keep drinking late into the night. So, if you are on the West sign of town and looking for good, cheap eats with REAL flavor, take the walk over to Huahuas. Your stomach and your wallett will thank you.
(4)Chris A.
Had a pretty bad experience here. I came here with 3 other friends to grab a quick bite before hitting the clubs and while my 3 other friends got their tacos (which were really good), the ones I ordered took over 15 minutes. It wasn't until I got up and asked where they were then they magically appeared. When I did finally get them, they were stone cold. I went back to complain and the cook gave me an attitude. It gets better. After I said they were cold, the cook took his glove off and stuck his finger in them and then gave them back to me!!!! I'm down here on vacation and did not want any drama. I left it alone. Will never come back to this place.
(1)Rachael H.
I was really looking forward to the opening of Huahua's, I mean who doesn't appreciate a good south beach taco? A friend of mine and I went. We ordered the elote, mac & cheese, crispy pescado, BBQ short rib, fried chicken, and pollo al pastor tacos. The elote was good. The Mac and cheese was AWESOME. Really gooey and cheesy. I was not given a bite of the pescado or short rib taco, but was assured they tasted good. My pastor taco was...mediocre. I really enjoyed the fried chicken taco. What's a little odd is that they used both corn and flour tortillas with no real rhyme or reason it seems. I also noticed the the two things I enjoyed the most...are not Mexican....at all (mac & cheese and friend chicken taco)
(3)Ting W.
Someone told me that this place is the "most authentic Mexican food you will have in Miami." Boy was I a bit disappointed. They have steak tacos, not Carnegie Assad and carnitas tacos. All tacos are on a small flour tortilla. Where are the corn tortillas? Each taco runs about $4, pretty pricey. I ordered the carnitas taco- although it tasted very good, they definitely skimped on the meat because I was able to roll it up like a taquito. The steak was good in size and the meat was soft and chewy. This place is a cross between Mexican and Peruvian style tacos. Good, pricy, but no where near a typical "street taco." To give you another example, they offer fried chicken tacos. If you're looking for adventure, try this place, but if you're looking for authentic Mexican tacos, go to California!
(3)David Z.
This place knows what's up. It knows its strengths and doesn't try to turn into something it's not. What it is: a simple taqueria with fantastic affordable food and a great location. It is not some fancy sitdown restaurant. And that's exactly what I was looking for when I walked by. This place served on-point mahi mahi street tacos with perfectly done guac and chips. I sat outdoors and was a stone's throw away from the busy fancy shops on Lincoln Road. Honestly the food was better than some sitdown places I've been at so far. If you're looking for a well done street taco in a great location then this is your best bet.
(5)Adam S.
I thought this place was a generally satisfying taco place. The elote was very tasty and nicely seasoned. To be fair though, it's kind of hard to screw that particular item up due to its simplicity. The tacos were definitely above average. I had the short rib one and the mahi one. Both were items I would order again, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the mahi. The service here was friendly and the prices were surprisingly good given the location. Two small criticisms. First, I felt like even though the mahi taco had great flavor, it was a little light on its fish portion. I would pay a little more to get more fish and less filling. Second, I liked all the hot sauces, but it would be nice if there were some house made options here. My 2 cents..,
(4)Dee J.
So awesome! We ordered via delivery dudes And enjoyed it all! Definitely will be a Repeat customer
(4)Eric O.
The roast corn was overly fussy with pepper, spices and sprinkled cheese everywhere. Obviously they don't have much faith in their corn supplier, 'cause with fresh ears, simpler is better. OTOH, the nachos were pretty amazing, and quantity was enough for four. Great flavors in the beed and salsas were hot and varied. Good guacamole, fresh crunchy chips.
(4)Emanuel G.
So a "taqueria" using flour tortillas? It should be a Tex-Mex joint not a Taqueria, not acceptable in Mexico, sorry.

This place makes what is best described as fusion tacos. They serve flour tortillas which are certainly not authentic for Mexican food, and they're rather large and taste like chewy cardboard. I asked the busboy if they serve corn tortillas and he was a little confused but responded in the affirmative -- I have a suspicion that he just said yes to be polite and walk away. The fillings are ok, nothing to write home about but nothing bad either. I ordered 5 different tacos, including their Al Pastor, they were all decent (save for the flour taste in my mouth). The exception was the Mahi, the fish was burnt (lots of bad-for-you black chunks) and tasted dry. I ordered a Chips & Guacamole, the guac was surprisingly good although I can't say the same for the chips. They also serve Mexican Coke which is great. Service was ok at best, a little slow. We were a party of three, I ordered separately but right after my other two lunchmates. Their food came out pretty quick, mine took an extra 10 minutes even though we all had tacos. They were out of 2 of the 6 sauces they have "on tap". I really wanted to try the Serrano & Lime sauce so I asked if they had more in the kitchen and was dismissed with a "No" by a guy who seemed to be a manager. I pressed him and he said that it's made by someone next door and he's out. The locals don't know any better and think it's good Mexican food. There are better places even on the beach -- at least two places come to mind on Washington Ave alone, one of them being Alma Mexicana (Google/Yelp it). And of course, if you're looking for a more formal setting, right across the road is Rosa Mexicano. I'd give this 2.5 stars if that were an option, but since it's not I'm rounding down since it's not really A-OK in my book. I probably won't stop here again, except maybe for the excellent guac.

OI'm obsessed with this place. The design, the food, the careful attention to every single detail in the business; it's flawless and I love it! Try the fish tacos, 3 for $10 is a steal!

Good price great tacos I use to come here all the time for the chicken enchilada but it was removed from the menu.

I tried Huahua's the first time I came to Miami, and HAD to come back the second time I visited Miami Beach. I made the mistake of ordering the salad (It was good, don't get me wrong) but my sister's boyfriend ordered the tacos and I ended up eating most of his food AND my salad..oops. I love breakfast and I love tacos, so the breakfast taco definitely makes me happy. I am also a big fan of their grilled steak & guaco tacos. I had my eye on the margaritas, but had to pass since it was my first meal of the day. I am from California, so I have definitely had my good share of tacos (good & bad), and would recommend you try this place (it's not authentic but yummy) ! I love that this place put a spin on the normal taco, and added some yummy flavors. This isn't a hole in the wall taco joint, it is a nice location, small but has a good amount of outside seating. I will be back the next time I am in Miami Beach. Also they have vegan friendly options!
(4)Diana E.
Awesome tacos! Awesome corn! Awesome salsa! Love! Love! Love! The only bad thing about this place is the seating but won't change my 5 star rating. No inside seating and the outside area has about 6 tables which range from 2 people seating to 6. The place is so good seating can be difficult if it's a weekend or lunch hour.
(5)Brian G.
Huahua's was disappointing!! the food has its hits and misses. the chicken salad was so so. the grilled fish taco horrible, while the vegetarian and grilled steak tacos were good. they also have a good bean puree. the service was really slow, and the restaurant was not crowded. they must do a big take out business. the inside is very modern and small, with 2 tables. they have several tables outside.. they offer several souses. i liked the sweet and spicy the best. you have to wonder why, they recommend the fried chicken and fried fish tacos as the best of the lot!! well it is located in Sobe!!!
(3)Coach M.
Full of flavor and different variety options to order. Order at the counter and they will deliver your food to table. Its a great spot for a quick bite before a movie ( across the street ) or a meal and walk up Lincoln rd. I will recommend to friends and family and will visit for lunch soon
(5)Melissa F.
Great taco place. Don't skip the al pastor taco or the elote. The elote is really delicious - cheesy and charred with just slight kick. Carnitas was good too. Not sure I would do the crispy fish again but I liked that one ok too. We got chips and queso for the table - the queso was nothing special but it was passable. I came here with my nieces and the quick service style where you order and they deliver food to your outdoor table worked perfectly for us. All in all great place for some quick delicious tacos and a couple of beers.

We tried this place on the way to a birthday party... It went like this: Walking down the street looking for the location of the night's debauchery we ran into some other invitees and agreed to make a taco run. Unlike most of the restaurants on Lincoln Road, this place offers amazing food for not a ton of money. For $3 a taco instead of pre-drinking you could pre-eat before going to one of the finer establishments that cost your paycheck. After deciding in the mahimahi tacos, I realized I had to use the restroom. Being that this place is small and the meals are cheap I questioned my decision to venture to the restroom, and when I saw it was unisex I thought I might just put it on hold, but I took a look and the restroom was spotless. Completely stocked up with toilet paper, soap, hand towels. I was really impressed. (It always makes me wary at restaurants with unclean bathrooms). So I give this place 5 stars for being squeaky clean. The tacos were really delicious, and we were all happy we went. Party on.

There's a lot of people in South Beach who are indifferent to me, and then there's that group of amazing people who almost become a family away from home. When I step inside Huahuas, I'm literally geeked to catch up with the crew and talk Sobe business, food and just reflect on a bad or good day to someone who cares enough to at least pretend to listen, though I assume it's always genuine. The food? I come from Chicago, huge Mexican population and amazing Mexican food. I'm Puerto Rican and if it came down to choosing one or the other for the remainder of my life (and afterlife), sorry, I love my islands food but Mexican takes the cake. I'm positive I have El Gordos tacos (a Chicago staple) still lining the walls of my intestines from like 1998. Ok, you get it, I love Mexican food. Here, the take isn't exactly authentic. I don't need my H1N1 shot before eating as I do at places back home and there's no little indigenous abuela slaving away in a fly riddled kitchen. But it tackles the concept with an original twist better than the Mexican fares elsewhere on the beach. The cornbread laced in jalapeños is better than sex, hands down. And all taco variations make me just as moist with the fried chicken and the breakfast versions stealing my heart. I've been here enough (and tip well enough) that I usually always receive a complimentary bowl of guac and chips. My only serious issue is the loaded nachos. After all the add-ons and a drink to cleanse the palate, you're looking at $20 not including tip. Nachos are usually never worth boxing up, and I have yet to finish an entire order, so when I shoot for this option I'm always regretting how $20 could have gotten me homemade nachos for a week. Awesome location, awesome staff, and though not quite legitimately Mexican it's enough to keep me happy until I'm back home in sweet home Chicago for the real deal. Insider tip: best guac in Miami.
(5)Marilyn S.
This place rocks! The ppl that work here are always extra friendly and omg the food is to die for. The fried chicken taco is the bomb! I always ask for an elote too, so yummy. The cashier (Carlos) always gives the best suggestions on new things to try. You won't regret coming here.
(5)Paul K.
The food was very good. I will go back. They had some issue with the chips so no chips & queso. I had the pollo, fried chicken, shrimp & mahi tacos & they were all good. The elotes was great!!! A definite must have. You will be glad you listened to me.
(4)Jeff O.
Located at the mouth of the Lincoln Rd strip, this taco joint is just pretty much perfect. Prices are good and the menu is an interesting take on traditional Mexican fare. On a recent trip to Miami, I ate here twice. The tacos are stuffed, delicious and priced around $3.50 each. I had the carnitas, the citrus chicken and the steak. All 3 were very good, but I enjoyed the steak the most. The elote cannot be passed up! A flavorful corn on the cob with spicy mayo, seasoning, cilantro and Mexican Cotija cheese. My cousin had a taco salad which looked awesome. She liked it a lot! I didn't care for the club music pumping through the place. It was actually annoying, but the food itself made the experience. Dog and bicycle friendly, with outdoor seating and fans.
(4)Lyssa F.
If you're looking for no fuss no muss yummy tacos on SoBe then you need to head to this great little place. Ate here last night with my bestie after window shopping on Lincoln Road. The concept is, order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. The menus has roughly 10 varieties of tacos which can be ordered individually or 3 of the same kind for $10. The ingredients are fresh and not your typical tacos. I had the grilled steak, mahi mahi, and shrimp tacos. The steak was perfectly seasoned and juicy. The mahi mahi was a generous sized piece of fish. The shrimp had a nice bite due to the jicama. My bestie ordered the mahi mahi, chicken with pineapple, and fried guac. Yes, I said fried guac. The service was friendly and quick. The only thing I would change is the beer selection and the margaritas made from a slurpee-like machine. Other than that, the place is great. You can't beat the price or the taste. Great hidden gem on Lincoln but west of Alton.
(4)Sara T.
HuaHua's is authentic and gourmet mexican. The chef is celebrity chef Todd E. from Haven. The food is thoughtful and seriously well-prepaired. The guacamole is also hands down the best I've had since Chipotle. It's hard to find really good mexican food in South Beach, even though there are so many places that offer it, but this one is Number ONE to me. Delivery Dudes company also will deliver HuaHuas, which is a bonus.
(5)Vanessa P.
Oh Huahua's, how I wish you had a more northern location because I'm sure it would be our second home. In all seriousness, this place is worth the drive for absolutely delicious dishes. Not to mention the prices are beyond reasonable. I was first introduced to this place due to a recent Yelp event, and while browsing the streets during Basel we stopped in to refuel. Best decision that day hands down. Their tacos are incredibly flavorful and hit the spot. I love the crispy pecascado. And of course I can't write a review without mentioning their elote which is amazing. The service coupled with the deliciousness and price is a no brainer. Huahua's is not a place to pass on. So do yourself a favor, if you are in the area, don't second guess it -- go in and order. You won't regret it.
(4)Eric B.
This is my go-to quick casual taco spot at the beach. You cant beat the price and the quality is superior. Who does't love a strong margarita, a chicken taco, and some delicious queso dip? Another perk ... they're open late for those after bar munchies!
(5)Saiana G.
VEGAN Options! So happy about that! Love the frozen margaritas too! And best of all it's open late so after a lil parting or an event that is the spot to go to!
(4)Mady L.
I really love Huahua's!! I found out about this great place at an Elite event recently and had been craving it ever since. they are open super late on Fridays and Saturdays which is great as I am on the weirdest sleeping schedule. We went around 1:00 AM and there was plenty of parking and seating. Today I found out they are dog friendly which is AWESOME since I hate leaving my babies alone all the time, they had water bowls for dogs and treats at the cash register. This will be our new spot for late night dining. My favorite tacos are the carnitas and the fried chicken. I love them both equally. Their guacamole is the best I have had (outside of California). Their queso is yummy. and their margaritas are refreshing and tasty! Can't wait to go back!
(5)Cyrus D.
Excellent Tacos. Had the spicy shrimp & grilled fish. Was great. Had the cheese dip too. Was excellent overall.
(5)Katherine C.
Stuffed my face here the first night I was in Miami. Why? Because I was tipsy. Or drunk. I can't remember. What I did remember was that breakfast taco like it was the bomb-diggity! Hallelujah for being open so darn late!! The next night, my friends and I ended up at here again, this time we all learned the name of the restaurant. This time, I got the fish, fried chicken and, of course, the breakfast taco. All were solid but the breakfast taco remained my favorite. Although I remember there being scallions on it from the night before and the second time around, it didn't taste as good. Thanks, drunken taste buds... They also have interesting bottles of hot sauce by the soda fountain with some pretty funny names.
(4)Rosy B.
Good quality tacos. A bit pricier than the other options close by, but well worth it in my opinion. Stay away from the margaritas... They are not real.
(4)Janet T.
Mediocre tacos, slow service, out of most of their salsa options and nothing special about this sidewalk restaurant. Skip it and head to Bodega instead.
(3)Jonathan P.
This place used to be really good, but for some reason the last few times have been very disappointing. Hot sauces (the magic touch they once offered) are now very limited and the tacos are nothing out of this world, but at least they seem fresh. Seems like they are trying to increase their margins or something by reducing down the experience / product. Poor business choice. The fried chicken and shrimp tacos are the best. Elote with chilli is also pretty good.
(3)Fin G.
Delicious. Delicioso. Fried chicken tacos were irreverent and so tasty. But I love their traditional carnitas the best. The sauce is just so darn good. Man I'm gonna order another one.
(4)JD M.
I hardly ever write Yelp reviews. I should probably do this more often to improve my cyber cred which is lacking these days. Anyway, I ate at Huahua's last night. In the truest-to-Miami form, I would say the following as my overall review: "Fire, bro." However, I felt obligated to write a more verbose review as a somewhat-educated, self-proclaimed funny human after eating at Huahua's. The food was so good that I would be willing to be thrown into a no holds barred cage match with 3 members of the Mexican Mafia a.k.a La Eme simultaneously for a single bite of my choice of item off their menu. Furthermore, the Mac n Queso is one of the most delicious sides this place has to offer. The chef could literally have bare-skin tea-bagged the bowl in front of me & I don't think that would have dissuaded me in the least bit. The guac is extra (meme reference), but delectable. You can taste the freshness with every bite. If you truly care about food & bang for your buck, do yourself a favor. Walk 40 extra steps from Rosa Mexicana & hit this place up. You can get a more than decent dinner for 2 with beers at Huahua's for the $40 you'd spend at Rosa on just the guac which is shit in my opinion (I make much better guac at home). The absolute only reasons I didn't throw Huahua's 5 stars are no ghost chili pepper hot sauce, no refried beans (whatup), I've had better Mexican food before, & you may get fucked on the seating if it's raining outside. Definitely hit this spot up doeeeee.
(4)Mary N.
TACOS ARE TO DIE FOR! My boyfriend and I went during happy hour & took advantage of the $3 beers & the yelp special (FREE queso blanco & chips). We ordered 2 types of tacos (3 of each). The steak tacos have SOOOOO much flavor and the fish tacos were the best i've had. They were spicy, but then again, they have jalapeños. Make sure you order them without if you don't like spicy. It's a little pricey but the portions are BIG. Will def come back!! Can't wait to try their other tacos!
(5)Ricky R.
Best tacos on the beach! Great authentic flavors, nice atmosphere, friendly and professional staff. A must-try!
(5)Tatyana S.
Lacks attention and promptness. Food is ok. Nothing spectacular. Too pricy for their product. The hostess is charming though.
(2)Fred M.
So nice to hear back from the GM! I was wrong when I implied that the place was not clean, because it is very clean. I suppose it's just that in this location on Lincoln Road I expected that it would be just a little nicer inside. But it is perfect for what it is and the food is great. We're going today for lunch!
(4)RB ..
Passing here couple time. didn't get me attention at all. My friend said is good and I get it try at the end of "I hate! " so badly. Reason: 1: VERY VERY VERY strange entry line. space is wedge in the little box.. almost hit the glass. 2: $5 Beer, NO HAPPY HOUR. 3: $ Chips and dipping, Dipping not refill and cost anoth $4. 4: All the service by myself. Bring my beer to my seat. 5: Why give tip? I don't. Provide me a place to seat doesn't meaning this place worth my tips. Here is not the right flavor of "drink fun" and of course not great food. Not my place from inside and outside at all.
(1)Nicole K.
Huahuas is a great little place for fast, healthy, moderately priced Mexican food on the beach. The food is very fresh and I like that all their tacos can also be made as a salad. As someone who tries to at least pretend to be healthy I appreciate having that option. Last visit I had nachos. I have enjoyed all the food I have had there. The nachos are a huge dish and should probably be shared with four people. My favorite thing so far are the shrimp tacos. They are awesome. Everything else has been very good, too. There is no indoor seating at this restaurant. It can get a bit crowded and you may have to wait/fight for some of their sidewalk seating at peak hours. If you don't want to do that you can get your food to go and Sita at the fountains on Lincoln road mall or the small park on the bay a block west of the restaurant. The way to my heart is through my dog and the staff were so nice to her last visit! Not only did she get ice in her fancy water dish, but the girl at the counter came over and offered my dog biscuits from their stash behind the counter. Sweet gestures like that huge me the warm fuzzies and keep me going back.
(4)Andrew M.
The mini tacos are delish, but the prices were a tad high and the service was disappointing, so three stars instead of four. Cool selection of hot sauces, convenient location, and quick service pull in its favor.
(3)Kristen W.
I was looking forward to trying this little taco place on South Beach, but didn't have the experience I was hoping for... - Food: The food is unique and good, but significantly overpriced for what you receive. When ordering, keep in mind that this is not a typical Mexican place, meaning they've tried to "fancy" things up (mostly unnecessarily). Also, for those hungry people out there, an order of enchiladas only comes with one enchilada and no sides. Lastly, do not order a margarita as they do not have a liquor license and charge a ridiculous amount despite serving margaritas without real liquor. - Atmosphere: There is none. You sit on the sidewalk of Lincoln, west of Alton. - Service: Although I believe my experience was isolated, I do have to share... The person I was dining with ordered one of the enchiladas, and upon the server brining out the enchilada began eating. However, it turned out to be the wrong one. Then when the server brought the right one and we and she realized her mistake tried to have the manager come over and take the right order - not even the wrong one. The manager continued to make us fill uncomfortable as if we had some how schemed them to get an extra enchilada, even though in reality it was his server's fault. Just didn't make for the most pleasant experiences. Will I be back?: Most likely no
(3)Victoria C.
Good selection of tacos, but a bit pricey for what you get, and for tacos in general. I suppose it's for the Lincoln road mall rent though. Blackened shrimp with jicama was very good. Would come here again for a light bite if in the area.
(3)Melanie A.
Came here with a girlfriend for lunch and even though I am not a huge fan of Mexican food, I loved the food. It's a modern restaurant with outdoor seating which is a huge plus for Lincoln Road. The prices are very reasonable and there are many options to choose from. They also have an extensive selection of hot sauces, which I feel are pretty much essential if you are going to have a Mexican restaurant. What I really liked about these choices though, is that they are all ranked by their "hotness". It allowed for me to grab a few quick ones in my range (4-5) and quickly get right down to business aka eating my delicious tacos. Usually, at Mexican restaurants I have to open almost every bottle and smell/taste to get an idea of how spicy it is. Thank the heavens that Huahua's pretty much did all that for me! Will definitely be back! Yum.
(5)erica b.
Went here at three in the morning. No where to sit other than outside and it was way too cold. Do we had to take it to go. The carne tacos were great but the free queso dip was wicked salty. I'd go back but I'd avoid the queso dip.
(3)SR A.
Great collection of delicious tacos. Came here second time in 3 days. I also loved their queso blanco.
(5)ray c.
I love the fish tacos!! And their original hot sauce!!!! Street parking is difficult to find
(3)Johnny T.
3.5 It's all about the fried chicken taco. Seriously. If you read nothing else in this review, come here, order a fried chicken taco, devour it, get another, leave happy. The batter/breading on the chicken tastes great on its own and the cabbage & ancho ranch complete the dish. You will become addicted to this taco. Unfortunately for me, not all the tacos I tried on my visit lived up to the bar set by the fried chicken. The Grilled Mahi taco with onion, radish, cilantro, cabbage, and chili-lime vinaigrette tasted fresh and, again, the cabbage provided a nice texture compliment to the fish. In comparison, the Fried Fish taco with papaya pico, cabbage and jalapeño tartar tasted bland (which is surprising for anything fried). In fact, I doubted whether or not I was eating the fried fish taco because there was so much crema in the taco... and the taco didn't come with it. I don't think the tartar could be confused with crema. Which led me to discover that my last taco, the Pollo al Pastor, with the charred pineapple, onion, cilantro, and lime crema was loaded with the creamy stuff. Mystery possibly solved: either the flavor profiles for the last two tacos are very similar or I wasn't given a fried fish taco at all. Rather I might have received two pollo al pastors and I didn't care for them. The crema was way too heavy-handed and overpowered everything else in the taco. But the more I thought about it, whether my order got screwed up or the tacos tasted similar (a bit scary for fish and chicken to taste alike), in any event, I wasn't thrilled with what I received. Going forward, I'd stick to the fried chicken and grilled mahi tacos. Both of those were executed well and had tastes that stuck with me well after my meal. Huahua's is open late on Fridays. I came there close to 1 am which might explain the taco mix-up... sorta... but not really. Stick with the fried chicken and all will be well.
(3)Martha B.
Best taco place on South Beach! Tacos are always delicious, well cooked and what's best they have many choices to choose from. My Favorite "Pollo al Pastor"
(5)Siadmy V.
The BEST corn on the cob I've ever had. It's worth coming to for the Elote alone. Great Mexican beer choices and excellent service.
(3)Margie G.
My favorite place on south beach! They have the best guac and their tacos are creative yet amazing. Fried chicken taco is my favorite. Also, the only place in Miami to get an amazing elote.
(5)Lexie O.
Love HuaHuas!!! The tacos are so good. I hight recommend the crispy pescado and the fried chicken taco. The breakfast taco is great for breakfast or hangovers :) the frozen margaritas are off the chain. I LOVE them!!!! It's a great place and cheap! The guac is also great but comes in small containers so get the large- otherwise it's like a ketchup cup size. My absolute favorite item on the menu is the Elote- OMG if you like corn you will die. Even if you don't- It's seriously something I crave everyday. Insane!!!! Gotta try this place- It's a cute hole in the wall that is so worth it!!
(5)Jackie R.
Fried Chicken & Crispy Pescado taco are the most amazing things I've put in my mouth in a while. This is my new Go-to spot. Obsession..ACTIVATED!
(5)Rick K.
The only thing you need to know going to Huahua's is to get the Fried Chicken Taco, it's that good. To make the taco even better, get some guacamole on the side and plop it onto the taco. The Cripsy Pescado Taco should be really good with the pineapples, but it just isn't. The fried fish looked like it was dipped in bread crumbs rather than the light, golden batter that a fried fish taco should be coated in. This messed with the texture and the taste of the taco. Aside from tacos, I tried the Elote, which was really burnt. I also had some of the Mac & Cheese, which was good but nothing extraordinary. If I went back again, I would get at least 2 Fried Chicken Tacos and then maybe another taco for variety and reviewing purposes.
(4)Carey F.
AMAZING Taco Salad & best frozen Margarita I've had in Miami. Only downside was a longgggg wait and few tables.
(5)Israel M.
What a great place to eat... I'm from mexico.. This taste like home ... Highly recommended ...
(5)Jen G.
Vegetarian tacos are rich and yummy with portobello mushrooms. Nachos are dripping in lovely cheese, black bean sauce, pico. ELOTE!!! Limey, fresh, gorgeous. "Good thing there was not too much guac because I would have snarfed it." Shrimp tacos spiced just right. Tender, succulent shrimp. Spiced aioli has just the right kick. Flour tortillas are default but you can get corn tortillas which I always recommend. Margaritas worth the brain freeze!
(4)Jessica B.
Cause Im happy!!!! Came here for my first time and tried a few tacos, the steak, chicken al pastor, and the mahi they were all pretty good with fresh ingredients and we got some chips with guacamole and some queso fresco sauce, delish. Cant wait to go back and try the burrito. Service was good and fast.
(4)Laurin P.
This place is great! The food is awesome, the price is good, and they have a great menu. Chips and queso are a must, and the elote (corn) is where it's at! Skip the margaritas- they're premade and not so great. I haven't had a bad taco yet. The steak and fried chicken are my two favorites, and I ask for corn tortillas when I can remember. Definitely give this place a try you won't regret it!
(5)Tray D.
Place was very empty. Food was so so... small bar area. Outside seating is available. Parking not so great. Traffic in the area was horrible....
(3)Mylinh N.
I am definitely a purist when it comes to Mexican cuisine, but my friend coerced me into trying this place. I came with an open mind and left pretty disappointed (and bloated). When I ordered they didn't ask whether or not I wanted corn or flour tortillas. So when I got the tacos they were on 3 lifeless bland flour tortillas. When given the option I always go with corn. I had the HONGOS MAGICOS, GUACO, and CHILI RUBBED SHRIMP. The proteins were fine, however, the tacos were all overpowered by creamy sauce or mayo. There was so much of it that I had to spoon some out of each taco. This wasn't the worst thing I've ever eaten, but I left unsatisfied. Someone in another review said to just go to Chipotle and save yourself the grief. I agree! I definitely won't be coming back to Huahuas.
(2)Lacey C.
Miami doesn't do Mexican. Not really. You want some flavor? Grab a pan cubano or some ceviche like a civilized person. So when someone does Mexican right--it's worth bragging about. Go and eat your weight in fried-chicken tacos (I was a skeptic) and heavenly beef maicitos. Finish up with a Mexican Popsicle and call it good. Enjoy the beach. Easy on your wallet and heavenly on your lips. (PG-13 version, for sure) Does that ever happen in South Beach? Lollerskates.
(4)Cherene S.
Well let me add this to long list of Miami restaurants that have seriously gone downhill. I have been a regular here since it opened and have been huge fan until today. I waited almost thirty minutes for food, even guacamole and chips. Ridiculous. Wasn't even crowded. Have never waited more than ten minutes before. Unacceptable. Not coming back! There are too many great places to eat to put up with this poor service. Shame on you Hua Huas. Get it together.
(1)K. C.
I love how the tacos are reasonably priced at $3.25 ea.! So you can have 3, which make a reasonable meal, and you aren't $17 into a taco dinner... The pricing is really reasonable - and you can have 2 if you aren't as hungry... My favorite by far is the breakfast taco - served anytime of day - which has carnitas, a fried egg, and onions. It is the heartiest of their tacos, and my absolute favorite. I love this place! Also, the tequila palapa (popsicle) = amazing concept.
(5)Jose A.
Good margaritas and tacos ... Inexpensive and a most do on Lincoln Rd .. Steps from the movie theater and the shopping mall at Lincoln .
(5)Andrew B.
Did takeout and was a pretty good meal. Shrimp tacos were the best, but honestly all of the seafood tacos were pretty good. Decent mushroom tacos as well. The nachos were a surprise and quite good, especially the beans and queso dip they came with.
(4)Seettal P.
Amazing hands down! Not only was the food amazing so was the service! I placed an order for pick up with some credit cards and some cash, the gentlemen was organized and made it a painless process. He even labeled all the bags and offered to car it out to my car! Service like that is hard to find in the Lincoln/Washington Miami beach area! If you are thinking about trying this place out...stop thinking and GO!
(5)Stephanie L.
Huahuas is definitely heating up Miami Beach. With saucy shirts bearing cartoon popsicles bearing the slogan "suck it," hot chefs, and even spicier food, this Mexican restaurant brings a a fun and new perspective to easy dinging options in the area. From the creative minds and whisks of Haven, Huahuas is a funky joint with a slightly more gourmet twist. My personal favorite is the fried chicken taco, which not only comes with its obvious namesake chicken served in strips, but also bits of jalapeno cornbread. Alternatively, the breakfast taco with cheesy eggs, tender carnitas, pork green chili, and hash browns is pretty hard to pass up. I also really appreciate that you are not limited to flour tortillas, since they also have corn on hand for those preferring something else. As for the nachos, be prepared, since this heaping mountain of crisp and light chips comes smothered with a combination of Queso Blanco & Cotija cheeses. It's a pretty substantial plate to tackle solo, but definitely offers a great value. If you're got a craving, I highly recommend adding the short ribs for a generous portion of seriously delectable meat. Another favorite is the elote, a grilled sweet corn with some spices and cotija cheese . It's fairly simple and yet incredibly satisfying. They've also got a hot sauce bar for those desiring to kick things up a notch. To minimize the heat factor I'd also recommend getting one of the refreshing frozen margaritas, or a jarrito alongside the meal, and be sure to save room for a homemade paletas, which come in an assortment of flavor. I'm dying to try the arroz con leche, which I've still yet to catch. Another plus, the service is always impeccable, and the food comes out fairly quickly which makes it an ideal stop before a movie, post Haven happy hour, or just because you want some tasty late night eats. Outdoor seating is great for people watching but there are some seats inside along with wall if the heat gets too unbearable. Hurry over before word gets out about this new beach find!

It's Sunday morning , 3am, finishing up a night of drinking .... I think I need some tacos. Grilled corn with lime , mayo, queso fresco ... Yes please Fried chicken tacos ... Don't mind if I do Beer??... Ok , maybe next time , water for me Sit outside and watch the glossy eyes , hooker heals , and sweaty foreheads roll in. Good late night food but I don't think I would eat it sober.

South Beach needed a place like this. Every neighborhood needs a place like this, especially in South Florida, where examples of quality Mexican food are spotty at best. Huahua's is the mastermind of HaVen's Todd Erickson - and if you ever went for Taco Tuesdays at that establishment, you'd know what I'm going to be writing about - solid, authentic Mexican flavor with the occasional nouveau twist (to wit: fried chicken taco). There'd been a lot of social media chatter about Huahua's, most centering around the paletas (fun Mexican popsicles) and elote (grilled corn with cheese). I tried both, and while they were equally excellent, the taste I'm going to crave comes from the Breakfast Taco. This is what I want to eat every single day. For a little over $3, you get a fairly large taco, stuffed to the gills with eggs, pork, and legitimate green chile. Add another taco (make it the fried chicken), and it's a fantastic, filling meal for well under $10. Frozen margaritas here are also pretty tasty, and are almost necessary, if you're sitting outside in the heat. On this point, be prepared - there's not a lot of seating here, it's a tiny place. Still, it looked like the tables were turning over pretty quickly - it's a "fast-casual" place, not a sit-and-linger. A winning formula that needs to expand to more Miami neighborhoods. How about the Gables, Grove and South Miami, for starters?

The food was actually delicious. Unfortunately this is a walk up to place an order and then the food is delivered to the table. I never left a tip since there really was no service. However the owners decided that I should have left a tip and they added on 20% without me knowing. For the $10 tip they felt they needed on top of quite expensive tacos with no service, my feeling is DISHONEST to say the least.
(3)Emily W.
I've been searching for queso everywhere (the white kind) and finally found it here. Sooo good!! The cashier was so helpful he even gave me margarita samples. Totally recommend.
(5)M D.
Had guac and 3 tacos. The fried chicken was different and excellent, Mahi and carnitas were average
(3)Vanessa P.
Probably some of the best tacos and nachos I've ever had.
(5)Val Z.
Love this place, but i only eat tacos here, i didn't try anything else. Love fish and fried avocado tacos, super fresh. Also love that hey sell fresh coconuts. Perfect little spot for a snack after movies on Lincoln rd. Actually; scrap the above; just found out that their tacos are not corn and that's very annoying, also if u see a line of people - not worth the wait, there is no place to seat and our food after 20min arrived cold. I wont go back in busy times ever again, just not worth the wait.
(5)Beth S.
So far the best food I have had since I moved to miami! I had the fried chicken and the gringo....delish!!! Another bonus is late night happy hour from 12-4am
(5)Usker N.
Good fish tacos are surprisingly hard to find in Miami. Huahua's gets it right. The fish is well-cooked, crispy on the outside, bright white on the inside, and well-complimented by the slaw and sauce. The order also came out VERY quickly, which is a bonus. I used the check-in deal on Yelp and got a free order of chips and queso, which were decent. We also got a side of guac, which was also just decent. They put entirely too much lime juice/flavoring on the chips and guac, which ruins it just a tad and brings the review down to 4 stars. But they're still enjoyable. There's a reason this spot was one of the few still poppin on Lincoln Rd at 1am.
(4)Daniel L.
I should have reviewed this place sooner, we eat here at least once a week. The food is amazing!!! The staff is great!!! I highly recommend the fried chicken taco, the elote and the guacamole. Shrimp taco is great too!! Never had anything I didn't like!
(5)Elvis C.
Amazing tacos to sample on the fried chicken taco is one of the best small foods I've ever had. Great place for beer and tacos of good quality.
(5)Alissa W.
Went in today for lunch and tried a few things on the menu. Queso dip- very good Guacamole- very good Elote corn with queso fresco- very good Corn chowder- to thick not a fan Tacos where ok- definitely over cooked my fish and shrimp They forgot the order so we waited and waited and waited more! Then they apogogized for it and brought out some guacamole and salsas. The tacos were good not running back to get them. One thing I do have to say everything was very good quality. Surprising for Miami ! Tables outside are not open yet they are waiting in permits so they served us outside Haven. I think this place will make it overall lots of food for two people for lunch $26.00.
(3)Laurel B.
I had a great lunch today thanks to HuaHuas! I'm just sad I didn't try it earlier this summer since it is close to where I live & work. Now that I know the deliciousness I will be back often. I had 3 tacos: the Guaco (grilled veggies, fried avocado, guacamole, spicy tofu crema), the Hongos Magicos (charred mushrooms, grilled veggies, spicy tofu crema) and the Grilled Mahi (cabbage, radish, cilantro, onion, chili-Iime vinaigrette). I also had a couple bites of my man's Crispy Pescado taco (fried fish, papaya pico, cabbage, jalapeño tartar). Everything was great. My stand out favorites were the Guaco (what could go wrong with fried Avo?!) and the Crispy Pescado (which had a nice kick to it). The ingredients were fresh and made to order and they also have a hot sauce bar with spice levels they have ranked from 1-21. We ended our meal with the pistachio paleta, which was refreshing and I liked that there were whole pistachios mixed in. (One minor issue with the Paleta though: the Popsicle stick was really short and kind of hard to hold....) The indoor space looks fun but is pretty small with only 4 bar stools by the window but there is plenty of outdoor seating. I can't wait to come here in the fall when the weather isn't quite as hot and enjoy some more tacos and $5 Mexican beers outside. I hope this place does well because it is just what the Alton end of Lincoln Rd needed. Cheap, Fast, Fresh, super yummy! Also we were informed that if you are looking for late night eats that they are open until 5AM (!!) on Fridays and Saturdays and Midnight during the week.
(5)David W.
Amazing experience dining here last night. I tried the fish and fried chicken tacos - both were to die for!!!! A stone's throw from the main Lincoln road strip but way better than anything I've eaten over there. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!!!
(5)Rolando J.
I was dragged here despite the fact that I loathe mexican food. The food was AMAZING. I had an Elote and 3 fried chicken tacos. damn damn damn! Ive contemplated driving from homestead to south beach just to have some again. The service was great and the food was A++++++++
(5)Jody C.
I have eaten at this place MANY times,..usually the overall attitude and customer service is pretty good... However, during my last (and I mean LAST) visit there I was treated pretty rudely by the person taking my order.... It seems that if you want to "drink water" with your meal (and my order was $12 for "3" TACOS ..you are given a "4 OZ cup... When I asked for a LARGE cup for WATER ..the "person" taking my order insisted on CHARGING me "$2.50" for a regular medium CUP.... SERIOUSLY????? And..the guy was such an arogant A**Hole about it ..I cancelled my order.. ONLY..to have my CC "tossed" BACK at me with the words..FINE.."see ya".. WTF...??? No WAY..I EVER go back.. And FYI..this is NO more "authentic" Mexican than Taco Bell. although..the food is decent.
(1)Jane D.
Of course I bought my chihuahua puppy to check out huahuas for the first time. The place was neat, clean and organized. Service was fast and friendly and I especially enjoyed the outdoor seating area with the multi level dog bowls. It has slushy ice water for the dogs. I LOVE THAT. Highly recommended to a bite to eat when on lincoln road
(5)Jessica L.
The service was fast and the food was on point! The white quest dip is delicious! I got the fish tacos, they came with coleslaw and mango slices with a very good sauce.
(5)Haruyo M.
Finally, good Mexican tacos in Miami. There's nothing like the the taco trucks in LA but this is pretty darn close. My boyfriend, his bro, his wife and I really enjoyed it and the boys went back up for seconds. Guacamole was tasty but seemed like they used bagged tortilla chips. My lover and I tried the Mahi tacos, carnitas, carne asada, fried chicken, fried pescado and the short rib taco. All pretty tasty! The carnitas were my fave! I loved that they put sliced radish on some and they also add a pickled jalapeno to others. Note: Ask for a side of the jalapeno and add to all tacos! They have lots of hot sauce to choose from. Yay so happy we tried this place and will be back to get our taco fix. Mostly outdoor seating so its great in the winter. They also serve beer and frozen Margaritas.
(5)Amberli P.
The breakfast taco is the perfect hangover taco! Also the corn elote or whatever is really tasty as well! The staff is usually very friendly and I enjoy coming here every once in a while.
(4)Andrew S.
Where to start on the crap show of this place... First, the food took 30 minutes for one order to come out. My friend's never came out... Then, I asked for corn instead of flour shells since I'm gluten intolerant and the server tells me they'll make it right. Takes my tacos, brings back the wrong order and doesn't tell me which ones are oxen and which ones are flour. so I go inside upset, naturally, to fix this. The only one who is understanding and not giving me a bad attitude is the chef/cook who was clearly pissed at all the messed up food tickets. Took another 15 min to somewhat correct the mistake in the first place that could've been avoided by just bringing me corn shells! The manager Giovanni gives me his card and says anything he can do but I told him I'm visiting and won't be back and we walked miles for this. So all in all, I'm passed, let down and baffled at the disorganization and lack of management. Unbelievable and horrible experience. Don't come here unless you want confusion, disrespect and a long wait time for tacos when no one is ahead of you. Everyone but the chef should be fired and bring in properly trained hospitality and management people.
(1)Karen D.
My husband and I stopped here for lunch, and it was so good that we went back for dinner later the same day. We tried about 10 different tacos, and they were all excellent. I wish we had a spot like this back home.
(5)Eric H.
The salad with shrimp was my favorite meal on Lincoln Road until they recently changed it. Why?!?!?!?!?!
(2)Moe P.
The orders already pretty fast. Beautiful I got three tacos gringo and that was delicious. Basically doesn't even need any hot sauce. it's super tasty and they have a wide selection on their menu. Must order the guacamole dip. So creamy and fresh. Dont for get to check in, there's a free offer :)
(5)Emile M.
Freakin' amazing, and great prices. Got totally stuffed on two tacos and one half elote. I could probably eat here every day.
(5)Rick K.
I love their tacos, especialy the mahi, or fried chicken. They are only $3.49 each and are so delicious. Easy parking and just off the busy part of Lincoln Rd, so one can get in & out quickly. I'd give Hua Hua's 5 stars, but they changed the menu and took braised rib tacos off the menu. I hate it when new restaurants change their menus!
(4)Marilu F.
So i've been here about 3 or 4 times now, I've tried a few things but what i am LOVING the most is the Chicken and Pineapple Taco Salad with the Lime Vinaigrette dressing! Its a WINNER, do try it! Also, great service every time and a fun vibe I can't get enough of. Keep it up HuaHua's!
(4)Tony O.
Loved it - the Steak and Fried Chicken tacos were great - I could have eaten a dozen. The classic Nachos were great, too, though a bit on the salty side. Want to go back to try the burritos and some more taco options - I'd be a regular if lived in SoBe...
(4)Fernanda T.
Delicious Mix of flavors! I was walking somewhere else when saw this place had opened, so took a peek insisde and liked the look of it and decided to stay. Ordered guac and chips to share, a Guaco taco and Pollo al pastor taco for me, and Grilled mahi Tacos for my date. A beer and a mandarin jarritos. Overall the food was tasty. I enjoyed the guaco taco (the fried avocado is delish!) but was not too crazy about the Pollo taco, the chicken was a little dry and so was the mahi of my friends taco. The guacamole was fresh and good. I would def try go again and try different things on their menu
(3)D. L.
THE. BEST. tacos in all of Miami Beach!!! Super fresh ingredients and creative delicious taco options. I eat here a minimum of 3 times per week - not easy to find healthy & interesting lunch options in South Beach. I don't eat meat and even I'm tempted to try the Fried Chicken taco! The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Love me some Hua Hua's! One thing I'd love to see is a frequent flyer discount card for returning customers - like every 10 visits, 1 free taco. - thank you, Mike!!!!
(5)George R.
The food was pretty good but it is a bit pricey. The crispy pescado, fried chicken tacos and the short rib nachos where pretty tasty. My only complaint was at $3 and change the tacos where a bit on the small side but at least the ingredients where fresh. The marguerita was also tasty and pretty potent which was perfect for catching our movie afterwards since it's right by the Regal Movie theater on Lincoln Road.
(4)Mari H.
Ordered chips and salsa, a margarita, beer and chicken and steak burrito. It was all good. Service was quick and food was good. We sat outside and had fun people watching!
(4)Sarah B.
Yaya for tacos!! I love a la carte style and so inexpensive for south beach. Even my corona was only 5$. Each taco had a different variety of toppings too. (I hate when joints use the same pico and radish for every taco just changing the protein) Food came out UNBELIEVABLY fast. Like one turn of a corona bottle. Free queso was amazing (with check in, not for any commoner) yay tacos I love you soo. Now off to scooter to the beach cause what else is an island for?
(5)Rebecca D.
Delicious! Service is a bit slow and seating is limited, but the food is great! I had the Mahi Tacos and my fiancée had the Steak Burrito. We both really enjoyed the Honey Chipotle taco sauce as well!
(4)R S.
Best Nachos ever! This place is clean, reasonably priced, with great service and delicious food. My girlfriend and I are already starting to lament this place not being in our lives when our vacation ends.
(5)James L.
Good quality toppings and good flavours. If I were to choose a taco place for taste and quality I'd like choose here. For lunch though, their portions are not big enough for me.. for most it is, but for lunch I want something that will fill me up to fuel me for the day and here I would have to eat at least 5 tacos. I'm sure many wouldn't have this issue, being 6'7" I require lots of food.
(3)Michelle L.
Huahuas is quickly becoming my go to place not only when I'm in the mood for tacos. I find myself craving their fried chicken taco at all times. It is out of this world! Having tried it for the first time at the yelp event at haven, that taco is now the main character in my food dreams. Their queso fundido is pretty extraordinary too. Good stuff and open late. Win/win!
(5)Jason M.
It was good, but not the best around. For Miami I still prefer Mercadito and their taqueria. In Ft Lauderdale its Alegria. We shared 4 tacos, chips and qeuso with chorizo and eyote (corn on the cob). We had the mahi, fried chicken, short rib and veggie tacos. All were tasty. The veggie was a little too moist. In my opinion the best was the fried chicken. The corn was very good and the queso was tasty but a litle watery. The chips are nothing special. Very little in door seating with about 10 outside tables. $24 for the food and one large soda (free refills). Overall a decent value.
(3)Tez V.
dry tasteless food service is good though
(2)C G.
The food is not authentic mexican food..more like Mexican style if that makes any sense.. The taco tortillas are not made from corn they are flour so that sucked. THE SERVICE SUCKS! but overall for generic mexican wannabe food this place is okay..try the fried chicken tacos
(3)Dennis M.
Wish there was more meat options and other options (tacos/salads/enchiladas... no burritos?!?) but overall pretty good for a quick eat in SoBe. Ps The Elote is crazy good.
(4)Lauren H.
Delicious tacos! I got the Guaco and the steak one. Also I loved the chipotle hot sauce. Yummy
(5)Sandy C.
These tacos are the best in Miami! I am usually disappointed when it comes to finding a good taco, but Huahua's tacos were very good. I am definitely going to be a regular customer here.
(5)Sandra S.
mahi was the surprise of the day
(5)Jason A.
This place is awesome! One of my go to places when I am on sobe. The jalapeño cornbread is out of this world and I highly recommend. Also another favorite of mine for starters is the nachos with chicken(very tasty). The short rib taco is out of this world Delicious along with the fried chicken taco. Top it off with the homemade paleta for dessert.
(5)Alex D.
Used to go there often for the uniqueness of their menu. But they recently changed it and the new menu is awful. Won't be going back anytime soon.
(2)Oliver D.
Fried chicken taco was great. Also tried the fried fish and shrimp, both good, but not as good as the chicken. The chips that came with the gauc were super salty, but they replaced them quickly after we bought it to their attention.
(4)Lulu B.
E-L-O-T-E!
(5)Charlotte H.
Not authentic but surely delicious. They have fried avocado tacos and queso mac and cheese and yes, it is delicious as well as kitschy. Everything I have tried has been fresh, well balanced and reasonably priced (okay, at least by South Beach standards.) PLUS they are open late on the weekend which is an added bonus if you are experiencing the drunchies.
(4)Miranda B.
Taco Favorites so far: 1. Guaco 2. Fried Chicken 3. Breakfast Check this place out!
(4)Wen C.
I had dinner there the other night with my sister. She had been there once before with her boyfriend and they both raved about it. We both live walking distance, so convenient. I had the grilled mahi taco, the chicken with pineapple taco and the Mexican grilled corn on the cob. Everything was tasty and fresh. I had a icy cold Dos Equis too. Can't wait to go back.
(5)Damien M.
I've eaten here several times with friends and we always share a few different dishes.They don't let you mix and match the set of 3 tacos, so if you want variety it's better to go with friends. Service here tonight tarnished my image of this place. I arrived at 1053 and they claimed they were closed at 11. The sad part is they were still filling orders for several customers and the clock clearly didn't show 11. The cashier asked me to speak with the manager who completely ignored me. Not an apology. Not an offer to make something quickly with whatever ingredients were still available. Nothing. He completely ignored my presence.
(2)Robert N.
Ordered: the fried chicken taco - slammin! Surprises me that we don't have more of them in NYC! BBQ short rib taco - this was pretty dry I love how this place closes late on the weekends!
(4)D R.
The food here is full of flavor and the sauces give it that spicy complimentary kick as well!
(5)Enrique S.
Lincoln Road has a ton of construction and this was the only thing that we could find that was open at 2am and I am very happy we came to eat here. The service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the nachos with chicken and guacamole and it was amazing. The queso they use to pour in the nachos is to die for and the guacamole was fresh and tasty. I also ordered a fish taco and it was equally as good. I topped it off with the home made Sanger del Diablo salsa to add a little kick. I would definitely come back to this place, even during the day.
(4)Michael C.
We love this place, right Linda? It's great when you find a parking place right in front, but most of the time you have to park over by Epicure. The sauce station is a trip because you have to pump the shit out of a couple of 'em to get that little cup filled. I remember when they used to have bottles of hot sauce. I bet they kept disappearing. I know we snagged one. But the three tacos for $10 is such a deal. That's what I always order and it's always very good and filling. The corn on the cob is the bomb. They call it elote. Get a whole one because it's so good. This place is like fast food at reasonable prices. Once you get the hang of the drill, it makes a lot of sense. You order in a line and sit at your table and they bring the order. And then you eat that stuff like the plate is one fire.
(5)Man S.
What a fantastic corn they have by far the best corn i have ever had. Its my new place for corns.
(4)Veronika S.
What a great Mexican spot! Food is on point. Very good prices and big portions with a lot of meat and veggies. I tried few different tacos as well as the grilled chicken burrito ( to die for)
(5)Mishelle T.
Finally a good late night taco place on the beach! Came here with friends from out of town after a night of shenanigans. We needed to recharge our old batteries and bam! it worked. The fried chicken taco is totes amaze, the queso fundido is pretty darn awesome too and best of all he prices are very reasonable. If you want good and affordable Mexican food, check this place out.
(5)Angel P.
The tacos are incredible everybody must try this place it is incredible it's open late and when you check in you get a little free surprise
(4)Churris 2.
I'm Mexican, so I know these are not a 100% typical Mexican tacos.... BUT... They have great taste, good Mexican ingredients, are original and are the perfect example of the Mexican spirit: the enjoyment of taco entrepreneurs. It is 100% worth a try!!
(5)Tram V.
Got recommended to come here by haven bar a few spots down. If you're looking for a late night taqueria, this is the joint to hit up. They have Mexican corn covered w/ butter, mayo, cotija cheese, and chili powder. Each bite was like heaven in my mouth. This corn reminded me of the corn sold on the streets back home on Cali. I also got the fried chicken taco and breakfast taco. They also have like 5 different sauces to choose from. Everything i ordered was on point, and needless to say, i left a very happy camper. (:
(5)Vanessa S.
I may be a fancy gringo, but I am no hipster! Despite this fact I still love Huahua's! It's not your typical dirty, authentic Mexican place, but that's alright. It's South Beach! South Beach is crawling with fast, cheap, casual Mexican spots but I enjoy the step up that Huahua's gives you. Having tried both tacos and salads I'm pretty sure you can say I'm in love! Their jalapeno corn bread is like dessert but not, it's just delicious. Huahua's also has this thing going on for it that most other South Beach places don't -- service! Smiling faces, politeness, the whole nine. I'm going back for paletas, I just have to wait till the coconut one makes it's way back to the chalkboard.
(4)Khaled Z.
Best Mexican food we have had since arriving in America. Simple, quick and very flavorsome. We ordered the grilled chicken burrito and the 3 of the same steak tacos. Had appetizers of chips and salsa and chips and guacamole. Best guacamole I've had in a long long time. Looking forward to more opening up
(5)Juan S.
Excellent new taqueria recently opened on Lincoln Road. Delicious tacos. salads, and full entrees as well. Their specialty is the fried chicken taco and it is delicious. They come in an order or 3 and you will definitely get full. Portion sizes are big. It's also possible to eat healthy here too. They have a salad with shredded chicken that is really delicious, filling and without the guilt. Definitely will be coming back here.
(4)P J.
Usually pretty good. Called to place a togo order and was on hold for 4 minutes. Tried to call back and line wad busy for a while. *update... been about 20 minutes since my first call and im still getting a busy tone. Bummer.
(2)Monica C.
We came here for lunch during a weekday, their fried fish tacos were good, my daughter really liked her steak tacos & I enjoyed the chicken al pastor! Definitely coming back!!!
(4)Judith B.
What a disappointment! Usually everything is a must try here, but tonight must be "idgaf" night for their employees. Ordered a queso blanco with chips only to discover the queso was completely watered down, I asked for another queso and was told that the entire pot is watered down and the quality of the food depends on the cook working in the kitchen. How ridiculous! Well now that I'm yelping my comment it all makes sense! Chips and queso are free when you check in with Yelp, so I guess management figured they should save money along with ingredients and serve their customers watered down queso! YUKKK! What a shame!
(1)Vanessa T.
This is our fav taqueria in Miami!! Great service and food! It seems they have something new on the menu each time we visit. I dont think ive had a taco ive disliked and their enchiladas are to die for!! Try their paletas naturales -- cant go wrong there!!
(4)Stephanie S.
Stopped in here last night for some drunk food after Haven. The staff was super nice. We ordered 1 taco, chips and cheese, and nachos with guac. There was a mistake and we received nachos with chicken. So after sending them back we were told they ran out of chips. Since I really wanted nachos, I asked if they could use our other chips. So that worked and she brought me a veggie mushroom taco and free taco tokens for next time. I'm a fan. Oh and the nachos are delicious. They taste like real food and not processed cheese product. We will be back!
(4)Lee M.
LOVE this place! My favorite after-workout lunch place (Crunch, just down the alley). Excellent fusion sort of tacos. Fast service. Nice location. Low-cal. Friendly. Only downside: the counter staff often get my order wrong. That said, well worth it.
(5)Adam Y.
First time here, and I'm impressed, most of the food was very good, the service was great and dinner with a beer for two, tax and tip was just under $30. The guacamole was excellent, and for $7 you get a small vat of some awsoooommmmeee guac. Didn't like the chips though, too Chili's/On the Boarder thin and weak, if you eat a lot of Mexican you know the chips I'm talking about. The tacos I tried were very good, especially the chili rubbed shrimp and carnitas. I was not loving the grilled mahi or the pollo al pastor. My mistake however, as for some reason, fruit mixed with meat sounded like a good idea at the time, however no matter how much Miami cuisine tries to infuse my Mexican with sweet Caribbean/Florida fruit I remain, not yet a fan. Overall, good spot and I'm looking forward to future visits to try out the entire menu, should only take three or four trips. I like that once you know your favorites it's there for a quick stop over.
(4)Whitney K.
Aside from the very obvious allure of $2.00 tacos, I want to draw your attention to a few very important menu items: 1. Queso Mac - yeah, as in queso blanco mac'n'cheese, 2. Chili-dusted homemade guac, and 3. Agua infused with watermelon and mint leaves for a refreshingly non-alcoholic option ... and I haven't even started on the tacos yet. Whether you're famished after a long beach day, on the prowl for a quick late-night snack, or pre-gaming your next shopping spree on Lincoln Road, this is pretty much a guaranteed success. Come-as-you-are-casual atmosphere situated in the heart of South Beach for easy access to whatever your next destination is.
(4)Beau W.
Amazing tacos with fresh ingredients with an eclectic twist. I got the crispy pescado taco, the fried chicken taco, and the breakfast taco and ate them in that order; the first taco set a high bar but I was pleasantly surprised to find that each taco was even better than the last. The breakfast taco is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Service was prompt and friendly. Also had a Mexican Coke and the queso and chips - also unreal!
(5)Gustavo M.
Not Mexican style tacos. The grilled corn con queso was amazing. I personally prefer Mexican street style over this. Food was ok.
(3)Rosie D.
I absolutely LOVE Huahua's!!! Best tacos on the beach. Took my co-workers there and they fell in love. We all ordered the following: grilled steak tacos, the carnitas taco salad, carnitas burrito, chips and queso and our favorite item - the jalapeno cornbread! All of the food was delish and we are making plans to go back and try other stuff on the menu. Was a bit disappointing that they do not carry the enchiladas anymore, but the rest of the food made up for it.
(4)Jessica M.
I've been to Huahua's several times and tried almost every single taco on the menu. My favorites are the fried chicken taco, crispy pescado taco and carnitas taco. I also LOVE the mac and cheese and the elote. But my favorite thing on the menu has been discontinued! I LOVED LOVED LOVED the enchiladas with the lemon cream sauce. Doesn't matter what kind of enchilada, they let you choose the filling and sauce, the lemon cream sauce is heaven! My sister raved about them so I had to try them and I have had one every time I've gone. BUT I heard from someone who went recently after I wouldn't shut up about the enchiladas only to see they were off the menu, which I just confirmed after checking their online menu. Why?? This makes me so sad! Please put it back on the menu!
(4)SK S.
Not going back. Wasn't the worst food I've had, but nothing memorable and there are better places to eat in sobe, First off, they use flour tortillas which makes everything taste inauthentic. All the tacos we ordered tasted the same. Meh.
(3)Julia G.
Huahuas is oh so tasty! I love their Carnitas and Fried Chicken Taco. If you are especially hungry try the nachos, but be warned they are addicting and will fill you up! Another great thing about Huahuas is they are super dog friendly and my little guy can come hangout and get doggy treats and his own water bowl. Best tacos in Florida period : )
(5)James M.
Nice people BUT aren't we here to eat? Taco salad was incredibly lame, 2 little pieces of fish, and way over-priced even by beach standards.
(1)Brody S.
Great food. The staff is great, but the chef is a jerk. He wouldn't cut a piece of corn in half. A piece of corn...really.
(4)Melissa T.
I finally have an amazing taco place to eat at in South Beach. I was tired of paying for mediocre food at the other joint on Alton Rd- I'm looking at you limón. The pollo al pastor and carnitas are my favorite tacos along with the short rib nachos which I can't say enough good things about. I have yet to try the elote or paletas but I've heard nothing but great things about them. Don't forget to order a frozen margarita!

This place is a great find. The Elote is sooo good... my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Great Guacamole & Chips... I mean you really can't go wrong with guac & chips, no wait, yes you can, but that's not a problem at Huahua's. Their Chili Rubbed Shrimp and the Grilled Mahi tacos are pretty good as well. & delicious frozen margaritas!

I gave 3 chances to this place, but it just disappoints me every time. Service is good, it's the food that gives it a full one star! Not overpriced, but the portions are so small and tasteless for a "Mexican cuisine". ("Grilled chicken" is not grilled??).
(1)Jon S.
Came here for lunch while on vacation after reading some really good Yelp reviews. The restaurant is nice but very small. Not much indoor seating AT ALL. Expect to sit outside where they have fans and several tables with umbrellas. They have good lime and strawberry frozen margaritas. We had the shrimp, fried chicken, mahi mahi, and carnitas tacos. Shrimp was very good, carnitas was a little disappointing as was the chicken. Mahi mahi was dry. Not much flavor in the chicken at all and the carnitas was just pretty good. Not great. I want to like this place more than I did unfortunately.

YUMMMMMMMMM! Wish I found out about Huahua's late hours and amazing tacos before submitting to ordering pizza yet again. Such a nice change of pace from all the of the usual pizza, salads and sandwiches of SouthBeach. The tacos are on-point! Love these tacos!!!: - pineapple chicken - grilled mahi - tilapia - fried chicken - portebella mushroom ((still can't say I have one favorite, since they all have such distinct flavors :D ) Must Try also: - frozen margarita (regular, mix-with passion) - grilled corn on the cob.... YUM!!!!! - PALETAS!!! (pineapple, strawberry-cheesecake & coconut!!!!!!))))) i dream of these! Sit on the patio, have some drinks, eat some tacos, and chat with the nice folks who bring their pups! ...Don't forget to say hi to the Director of Operations (Jalepena) ...she's a lovely girl! ;)
(5)Jacque M.
Not worth it. dried tacos, and you're better off eating at chipotle for half the cost!!!!!
(1)Rene B.
Amazing addition to this neighborhood - fresh ingredients, great price and fast, friendly service. Small inside but lots of outdoor tables, and open until midnight. Wish they would expand their menu a bit, but other than that really great place that will fill you up for around $10-$15, the lemon sauce is incredible btw!
(4)Ria S.
I had guacamole and the shrimp taco & the fried chicken taco. Everything was really good except the guacamole had too much lime flavor for my liking. The tacos are not your average tacos but they were really good. The fried chicken was quite flavorful & the batter was delicious! I will go back.
(4)Jackie J.
Delicious!!! I love their crispy fish tacos! The sauce they use in that is too good. My boyfriend is a huge fan of their fried chicken tacos. I also tried their margaritas and the elote corn which were both great!

If you are looking for a Mexican Restaurant, this is NOT the place for you. BUT, if you are looking for Fresh Mexican/Southern inspired flavors you've found the right place. My fave is the Fried Chicken Tacos (mmm the salad version of this is what I go for when I'm starving) or The Hongos Taco, when I am feeling vegetarian. Sides wise, I'm really loving the re-fried black beans and the Jalapeno corn bread is amazing (they are both spicy, so be prepared). I haven't tried the elotes but I hear they are great too. The only reason why I don't give them 5 stars is because its a little bit of a longer wait time than I would expect from a taqueria. But I feel that I should clarify that my expectations time wise is about 10 minutes or less, so I may be a little unrealistic for well crafted food, with fresh ingredients. But with that said, the staff is attentive and sweet, and I'd say the food is worth the wait!
(4)Gen C.
Great Mexican taqueria spot - would be five stars in our book but you took away our beloved braised rib, and replaced the delicious enchiladas with generic burritos. Please bring them back! :-(
(4)Mercy I.
Just two stars-- cause I'm gonna be as stingy as the fish on your mahi mahi salad...
(2)Gio M.
OMG Is all I gotta say! These tacos remind me of Austin! How would I describe them... Pocket friendly gourmet! All the options are excellent! Crispy Pescado is the bomb.com and the breakfast taco is awesome for hangovers! They're open till 5 am on Friday n Saturdays so if I'm partying in South Beach this is where I'm heading afterwards! 100% recommended just for the fact that its different from everything else in Miami Beach! Try it out, trust me you will NOT regret it! =)
(5)Stacey D.
This place is amazing!! You HAVE to try the corn. Get a whole order - trust me. Service is great, food is outstanding, and the manager was super friendly and even came to our table to make sure we liked the food. The chicken taco was epic. Thank you huahua's for never disappointing.
(5)Nikki G.
Huahua's is probably not the first place one would think of when thinking of a healthy eatery...Mexican equals chips and salsa and margaritas! However, when I'm not eating my weekly cheat meal from here (chips, the new delicious salsa, and beyond delicious queso), I am ordering a taco salad (without the shell), because it's one of the best on the beach. The salads are large, filled with a kale/romaine lettuce blend (all hand cut the day of), a homemade bean pico, radishes, and a cilantro-lime vinaigrette, which is also made in house. (Hopefully they start to bottle the dressing and sell it because it's that good.) The hours of this place are great, and they recently just started delivery service. I give this place two thumbs up, not only for the food, but because the workers are so nice and friendly. They remember who you are, and are extremely hard working. The manager is also around, doing table touches, cleaning up after guests, and helping in the kitchen. He leads by example, and that's the one reason why this business is so successful. They are opening their second location in Aventura from what I've heard, and I know it'll be a success. Thanks for great food! Ole!

Carnitas tacos are the flavor ones, but missed the salsa barHow can you serve tacos with no salsa bar. Good variatity of hot sauces but no salsa bar. Better offerings around the area.
(2)Maurizio A.
No go. Staff added extra spice on my food and my wife's. Very unfortunate but is one of those places were management doesn't work.
(1)Stephen F.
I love Huahua's ! Finally a regular and affordable reason to risk your life crossing Alton Rd. while walking west on Lincoln, Huahua's is a gift from the Taco Gods! Everything here is just amazing. The Elote corn is the bomb, grilled with cheese and a spice sprinkled across the length... just perfect. My favorite is the chicken enchiladas with lemon sauce. I was super skeptical when recommended this by the nice girl working there, but after trying it, its not my go to order. The chili rubbed shrimp is my favorite taco, but I've also never had anything here that I didn't absolutely love! Awesome hot sauce bar. Super cool that they have a big cell phone charging station for use.
(5)Jaclyn C.
Love the Guaco Taco, but was very disappointed in service and accommodation for food allergies... Came with my bf who is gluten free and he got the Guaco Salad and even though they were out of the taco bowl for the salad they still charged us Fifty cents per tiny corn tortilla. We could have bought an entire bag of tortillas for the price we paid for 3 tortillas!! Likely won't return.
(2)George G.
The only reason I do not give them 5 stars is due to the guacamole. Too much slat and too sour. With that being said, you must have the Breakfast taco. It has to be one of the best tacos I have ever tasted. I was also looking forward to the fried chicken taco, but they ran out of fried chicken last night.. You know publix is right down the block, plenty of chicken there... I highly recommend this little gem
(4)Ryan J.
Huahua's fried chicken taco literally was the best taco I've ever had. The texture is almost like a tempura, with a really southern, almost cajun flavor. The radishes and corn bread in this dish also make it a winner. I'm also in love with their hot sauce bar (they have like, 25 of them), as well as their elote. Super nice staff. Amazing.
(5)Casey W.
I grew up in Los Angeles and know good Mexican food. Tried this place yesterday and loved my tacos. Great salsa selection. Just wishes they opened 2nd location in South of Fifth neighborhood in Miami Beach.
(4)Vincent F.
Pretty good taqueria, I love the fried chicken taco, pescado taco and the carnitas taco. I wish there was better in door seating.
(4)Scott B.
Hipster Garbage First time I went to Huahuas it was a revelation. I had a delicious short rib enchilada with real Mexican cheese and topped with an amazing beef filled red sauce. Next time I went the enchilada was served in a wheat tortilla instead of the traditional corn. When I asked the workers what was up they shrugged and said people complained that corn tortillas (the traditional and ONLY appropriate tortilla for an enchilada) were weird. An exceptional enchilada suddenly became flawed, perhaps fatally. Well, at least there was still that yummy red sauce. So the next time I went my girlfriend orders the enchilada (I'm not eating a wheat enchilada so I moved on to tacos) and I notice that not only is it wheat, but its topped with a meatless, flavorless looking red sauce. The girlfriend asks what was up, and the person behind the counter shrugs and says too many "Vegetarians" were complaining. It only took a month for Hauhuas to go from the best Mexican place on the beach to Taco Bell except quadruple the prices. They still get two stars because although the enchiladas are completely inedible, they do have a couple tacos that are all right. Don't under any circumstances get the jalapeño cornbread. There is more oil in that thing than a Pizza Hut pan pizza. It's literally soggy. The guacamole is bland and tasteless. Miami is still in search of a quality Mexican joint. Huahuas fit the bill for about a week, but fell apart fast. You might as well save your cash and go to the equally flawed Taco Rico, or better yet, save your Mexican cravings for when you venture off the beach and get some REAL Mexican tacos from Con Sabor a México Carnitas Estilo Michoacán.
(2)Anup S.
Yum! Great variety and flavor!
(4)Jason Z.
This place is awesome! Really hard to find great tacos in Miami, let alone in a touristy place like Miami Beach. Amazing salsa, chips and guac and I love the hot sauce selection. The fried chicken, grilled mahi and al pastor are some of my favorites but you really can't go wrong with anything here. Quick service too!
(5)Robert R.
Taco Bell style Mexican food. No taste at all . It is just bad Mexican if you want to call it Mexican
(1)Darlene P.
We ordered the chicken nachos and a chicken burrito. We also added a side of salsa and guacamole with chips. The nachos were delicious and my husband said the burrito was the best he has ever had. The guac was so yummy. We will definitely go back.
(5)Codis K.
If you want tacos that are a bit kore creative than the norm, this is the place. The crispy pescado and fried chicken tacos are quite tasty. My two gripes are the corn tortillas don't hold up very well and often fall apart halfway through eating. Also not a fan of the salsa. The flavor is okay just seems like more of a Rojo sauce than a salsa made of fresh vegetables.
(4)George S.
Great taco salads. Favorite tacos are the short rib abd the fried chicken. Plus they are open late.
(5)Mark H.
Omg! I can't get enough of this place!!! The Best Nachos on Miami!!! So glad it 1 block from my house.
(5)Michael B.
This place falls flat on its face. The elote was literally dipped in a mix of mayonnaise and cheap cotija cheese. Inedible. Next comes the tacos where one bite of each sufficed. It was an awkward mix of flavors with nothing distinguishable in the taco. I couldn't tell the difference between carnitas and chicken. Not to mention they use a mini flour tortilla. Really, a mini flour tortilla?
(2)Joel S.
I went here again last week before my bowling league and it was open - so we are already off to a great start (although I knew it would be because of the note I got after my last review). I got the elote (corn) and a couple of fish tacos. I thought everything I had was solid. The corn was delicious and the fish tacos were great as well. I think this place is a welcome addition to south beach and I will definitely see myself returning many times to enjoy the tacos. I could have used a toothpick after the corn and there wasn't one to be found.
(4)Michael G.
Everyone is talking about this place and for good reason. Thiso gringo likeo!
(5)Brian M.
Tried it a couple of times to be fair. The Chicken Nachos are not very good. They use some kind of white liquid cheese that reminds me of Velveeta! They charge a dollar for each salsa you want which is like McDonald's charging for ketchup. Was really hopeful of this place but I guess I'll have to walk another 6 blocks to Lime from now on.
(1)Michael O.
Had these taco's on Wednesday ! Omg I still remember them. Outrageous worth the ride and the trip over to Miami beach . You cannot go wrong with any if the taco's
(5)Beth A.
This place is absolutely wonderful!! The service was excellent as well as the food! I stuck with the good ol' fried chicken taco which makes my mouth water just thinking about it! I am a huge guacamole fan which is also something they do well...I could put that stuff on everything! I topped it all off with a classic margarita, mmmm delicious!! I am definitely coming back for more!!
(5)Juan Pablo G.
I'm giving this place an extra star because the staff is really nice and fast, but that's it. The tacos themselves are not bad, but somehow they are flavorless, the chicken and the fish were completely dry. How do you fix this? with salsas! But here comes the problem. How can this place call itself "Taqueria"?. Not to be mean, but how can you run a taco place without salsas? There is a saying in Mexico 'A taco without salsa is not a taco' and Huahua's fails greatly in this aspect. Hot sauce bar will never replace the traditional tomato, cilantro, onion and lime sauce. Not even the non-authentic or tex-mex places miss this, what is wrong here?. You are not even able to buy a sauce as a side. And secondly, Mexican cuisine?, not because you use typical ingredients found in mexican cuisine makes the dish mexican, you have to use them correctly. I know the idea of the chef is to introduce us the different flavors by using different ingredients, but then I guess he picked the wrong concept. My error: came here expecting mexican food. PD: The chips are tasteless as well.
(2)Nicole S.
This place is pretty darn good. I've eaten here twice and so far I've had the following: Queso dip is good, on the thin side. The fish tacos both crispy and grilled. I love the fish tacos but think there should be a little more fish, kind of skimpy on the meat. The shortrib enchilada with red sauce is my favorite thing. The rib meat is tender and the red sauce is very spicy. It's a pretty big enchilada but $7.50 is a little pricey. I always walk out of here with a $15 tab and I'm only drinking iced tea. It's definitely a treat and not a daily thing. If the prices were a little cheaper I'd eat here more often.
(4)Brittany R.
This place is nice... The staff is super nice and very friendly. I visited because I saw it on Ch 7 news and it looked appetizing. I parked quickly and was the first in line. I got the elote, pollo al pastor and crispy fish taco. The elote was different, I liked it. The pollo taco wasn't really to my taste. I'm not saying its bad it just wasn't for me. The fish was good too but I didn't like all the slaw. Yet and still the staff alone would make me stop by for a margarita. Next time I'll try different things and specify.
(3)Kat G.
Love HuaHua's - great place to chill and get some great food. Their tacos are amazing!
(5)Chris A.
I like this place. A) it's fast B) it's close to me C) The salad is large D) the meat is tasty E) the corn is delish..... Thanks!
(4)Erica K.
All I have to say is FRIED CHICKEN TACO! It will change your life! But be careful....you WILL get addicted and will begin to crave it daily! It's seriously that amazing. But just once I did make myself get something besides the fried chix taco so I tried the Braised short rib enchilada with lemon cream sauce...FAB-U-LOUS!!!!! I could eat them all day every day if I wouldn't end up being a million pounds. Keep on keeping on Chef Todd! Your food is as fabulous as you :) If thats even possible!
(5)Jaime L.
Mediocre at best. How can you serve tacos with no salsa bar, or at least a few salsitas with the order? Just shameful. Just head south Alton three blocks and eat at Lime. Fresher, more variety, better ambiance, better value.
(2)Jake S.
Best tourist trap establishment I have ever tried! Excellent selection of hot sauces to choose from. Kudos to whoever came up with this amazing establishment!
(5)Lulu K.
This place does not have a whole lot of competition here on the beach. The shrimp taco and short rib taco are extremely good. The mahi, no big deal. You can have any taco set up as a salad but I found the ingredients to be a bit skimpy. I'd pay a couple of dollars more to get more protein. I'm still a fan. The service is VERY friendly.
(4)Niloy T.
OMG - Breakfast Tacos are even better than back home in Austin. Their other tacos are really fresh/delicious & the staff was super friendly. Best tacos I've had in South Florida! I'd def check it out and makes me go all the way to the beach just for yummy Mex
(5)Cynthia E.
I was really impressed. Have been here a few times for lunch, and the dishes continue to amaze me. Although the menu is simple, it is very tasty. The chicken enchiladas with lemon butter sauce are a favorite. Quite affordable for south beach, and the ambiance is totally laid back. Definitely should try.
(4)Emily L.
South Beach needed a good, simple taco place and this is it. Who needs a salsa bar when you have over 30 crazy hot sauces to choose from?! The fried chicken taco and the breakfast taco are by far my favorites, while my boyfriend loves the fried pescado and short rib taco. There is something for everyone (even the dogs!), including the addicting chips and queso. There is also a cool phone charging station where you can hook up your phone or iPad while you eat. It's also nice that they are open till 5am on Friday and Saturday.
(5)Joseluis A.
"change your heart, it will astound you" says the song and this is exactly what happened to me after coming back to huahuas and receiving a private message from them about my review. his message was polite and straight forward. its a clear sign he acknowledged the issues i raised which is - in my opinion - what yelp is all about. i went back because huahuas is near my office and i wanted to give them another try. after having tried most of their tacos, i must say that they are tasty. i also got to try the nachos, which are huge and well charged and the grilled corn. if i had to choose from one of their tacos i would go for the crispy fish one. the vegetarian tacos are very good although a bit close to each other on flavor profile, could be the sauces. but i cant say im not a fan of this place, i go back too often not to admit i like eating there. i have not tried the paletas yet, but soon... soon.
(4)Luis C.
The service is quick and the tacos spot on. My favorites are the short rib, friend chicken, and carnitas tacos. Great place for a quick and delicious bite. And it's conveniently located on the corner of Alton and Lincoln! Arroz con leche paleta is out of this world.
(5)Jennifer B.
What a fun spot! Great location near Lincoln Rd, and tasty food! I have sampled many of the different tacos and dishes and have yet to be disappointed. Perfect spot to grab a bite before or after a movie at the theatre.
(5)Christian W.
I heard about this place on Deco Drive this week and was really intrigued, so I decided to stop in for lunch today. I must say THANK YOU LOUIS AGUIRRE! These tacos are off the hook, and the Texan in me thanks the guys responsible for this little taco haven in South Beach. I hate to admit that I ate this much but here goes.... Breakfast taco: filling and crazy good, oozing with pork green chili and egg yolk, the avocado taco, deep fried avocado, yeah I said it, and yeah, they make it! I also had the ridic short rib taco and a grilled corn on a stick. Also, a big thanks to the girls in front that wouldn't let me leave without a paleta, sooo good. I left fat & happy, relieved I walked, because now I need the exercise.
(5)Katie P.
Really tasty, freshly handcrafted tacos. Worth the wait. And the elote (grilled corn w parm cheese and spices) was one of the best I've very had. Good place for lunch and a beer after a long bike ride home from the beach.
(4)Manny F.
Best damn tacos in Miami period!
(5)Mel W.
Everything we had here was great! Queso mac & cheese was amazing, BBQ short ribs enchiladas with fried egg was delish, nachos with carnitas was yummy, and jalepeno cornbread was great. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend!!!
(5)Micaela I.
Excellent guacamole, margaritas and tacos, especially the fried chicken and short rib tacos. I was not surprised at all to then meet the owner and learn he was a fellow Longhorn! Delish surprise! Hook Em!
(5)Raymond J.
Not a fan, the taquria in midtown blows it away.
(1)Liz F.
This is my new favorite place in South Beach. The tacos are awesome! And dare I say it, the service is great! I highly recommend the short rib tacos. I'm also a big fan of the fish tacos. You really can't go wrong here!
(5)Noelle S.
I liked, but did not love the tacos. The ingredients were creative and fresh but i felt as if everything tasted like cabbage. I like cabbage but felt it overwhelmed the taco. That said I will go back and try different items. Really friendly staff.
(3)Robby M.
I tried these tacos for the first time over July 4th weekend. I honestly can say these are the best tacos I've ever had. The varieties were great and the portions were filling. Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or after-hours, make sure you check this place out. You won't regret it!
(5)Gary D.
My gf and I went to HT after reading so many great things about it. Yes it is hip, and it appears everything is fresh, and parking is even easy to find on an early Friday night. Unfortunately, our Mexican Cokes were warm and our food was cold. The two gentleman sitting next to us had warm beer as well. We tried the Pollo al Pastor taco salad which was ok but a bit salty and cold. We also had 3 tacos (grilled Mahi, chili rubbed shrimp, and carnitas) that were also cold. Maybe we should not have had the carnitas because the oil from them saturated the other two and ruined the meal. We also shared the Queso-Mac. Well, we started to...it was too cold and stuck together. We took a bite of each dish and decided to leave. The bus boy asked us what was wrong as we got up and apologized but did not rectify the situation. It was only a $30 meal so I was not going to say anything, but he should have told the manager. Or better yet, even the owners who just happen to own Haven a couple of doors down. If you are going for this type of food hit up Lime Fresh on Alton just a few blocks south or even make the trek to 14th between Washington and Collins where T-Mex is. They both are more fresh and HT could learn a few things from them!
(2)Nicolas C.
gross, left hungry...confusing tacos, tacos with pineapple really? staff was nice ill give them that, but only thing that was ok was the guacamole....i just wanted a normal-ish taco, but got a failed attempt at a top chef taco
(1)Max S.
so amazing! everything from the cheese dip with Duke's and the taco's to the cold mexi brews!
