Miami, FL
Best Mexican in Miami.
Harry's top 10 Mexican spots in Miami score 85–92 on the Harry Score. One carries critic or guide backing. Prices run $ to $$$$.
Miami's Latin food identity runs Cuban, Nicaraguan, Colombian — Mexican has always been the least of it, an afterthought next to Little Havana's ventanitas. The real Mexican food isn't in Wynwood's tequila-and-taco lounges; it's down in Homestead, where the area's farmworker community has kept taquerias like Morelia running since 2007, turning out tripe and suadero without ceremony. Judge a Miami Mexican spot on whether it tastes like Homestead or like a Brickell happy hour. Most fail.
