Restaurante La Taberna — Restaurant in Florida

I asked someone about this place, they said it's nothing to write home about and they were right. They have no vegetarian options on the menus although they can make a vegetable version of most of the items on the menu. From what I can see on the menu the only "seafood options" seem to consist only of what looked like a branzino and bottom feeding shrimp.

To start, I was THE ONLY PERSON on their board during this entire visit at 13:58 hours. So the food and service should have been flawless.

I was charged three dollars more for a veggie gordita than the meat gorditas (and not the lunch pricing even though I ordered during their "lunch special" hours). When I questioned the poor English speaking little girl behind the counter about the breakdown of cost I was told "that menu is not up to date THE PRICES CHANGE ALL THE TIME". Then she told me, "I gave you a ticket" as if the receipt she gave me had all my answers. It did not, it just had a price with tax and no itemization and when she tried to access the computer for an itemized receipt, she couldn't operate the computer properly to find the information.

Now to the food. The refried beans were seperating and looked near masicated and bland. The rice also had no seasoning to it, NONE. The gordita tortillas were cooked unevenly, one with black crisp marks on each side the other was still raw enough to tear on the stove top when they flipped it, but do not worry they will hide this by just flipping the bad side down rather than trying again. I also asked for avacado but I'm pretty sure the girl didn't understand what that was since there was none on my veggie gordita. Not to mention my stomach was turning for the rest of the night after eating the food from here! 14 hours of bubble guts!

Oh! And their salsa tastes like Spicy V8, I couldn't do anything but laugh when I tasted it.

There are many more mexican restaurants within 10 minute's from here that are authentic, better priced, better tasting and MUCH MORE friendly than this hole in the wall. I'll never return. Which is exactly what was told me when I first asked...

Walking into La Taberna, I was instantly struck by the cozy ambiance and welcoming decor, setting the stage for a fantastic dining experience. The staff greeted us with warm smiles and were exceptionally knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with great recommendations.

We began with the house-made guacamole, which was remarkably fresh and seasoned to perfection. The Tacos Al Pastor were the highlight of our meal—succulent and flavorful, with the perfect blend of sweet pineapple and a hint of spice. The enchiladas smothered in a rich, savory mole sauce also impressed, beautifully showcasing the depth of traditional Mexican cuisine.

La Taberna is a culinary gem that offers a journey through the flavors of Mexico. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking for an authentic Mexican meal in a friendly and inviting setting. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, dining here is a must. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their...

We love La Taberna’s food, service, and small-town feel. The restaurant is family-owned and operated and the food is very good. We usually order a selection of the tacos to start our meal. The tongue taco is my personal favorite, while my wife enjoys the carnitas taco.

This is homemade, authentic Mexican. This food is similar to the food my grandmother used to make. Many of the reviewers on here that say that the food is not authentic are mistaking “authentic” Mexican food with “Tex-Mex”. Mexico is a large country with diverse cuisine that differs from the coastline to inland. La Taberna is mainly coastal Mexican with some select dishes from the inland regions of Mexico.

We take our family here when they are in town to visit us and my dad always comments on how good the tortillas are. If you knew my dad, you would know that is a big deal. He grew up with fresh homemade...
