Sr de Los Tacos Wynwood — Restaurant in Miami

Leaving reviews isn’t usually my thing, but this experience made me realize why they matter.

We were in Miami for the weekend and wanted to eat somewhere outside of the busy Ocean Drive area. This place popped up on Google and looked promising.

The restaurant itself is very modern inside, and the staff is friendly, at least until you don’t hit the “extra tip” button. They’ll still serve you respectfully, but the tone changes. With a 15% service charge already included, despite me seating myself, ordering at the counter, grabbing my own utensils, and going back up to get another drink, I think that charge more than covers their service. Expecting an additional tip for simply handing me my food feels unreasonable.

Drinks are $3.50 a can, and water is also $3.50 (I didn’t see bottled water, so I assume it was served in a cup).

Now, the food: • The queso was good. • The guac and chips were average, nothing special but not bad either. • The empanadas (one carne, one mariscos) were both decent. • The birria tacos were ok, not the best we’ve ever had but still edible. • And then came the campechano tacos (steak and chorizo)… easily the worst tacos I’ve ever had. They were mushy, unappetizing, and honestly tasted like how a wet dog smells. Completely inedible.

For the prices they’re charging, there’s no excuse for food of that quality. Honestly, I’m not sure how this place is staying...

Unfortunately the experience myself and 12 other people that came with me just to come and try this place out was absolutely horrid. We came in around 1pm on labor day and they had ran out of anything Birria (the sole reason I wanted to try this place honestly). That was a huge letdown, but I opted for other items I wanted to try. When I say nothing tasted even remotely edible, that says a lot. The guac & chips were bland and greasy, the elote, not much flavor, chicken, al pastor tacos again lacking flavor, arepa platter, burger, etc . I tried the picanha cachapa and after one bite it was just full of disappointment. My family and friends all tried various items from the menu and not a single person enjoyed their food. It also took an extremely long time to even receive our items, and honestly I'm patient with that kind of stuff. At the end my little sister ordered a mango juice which took 20 minutes to get out because the person making it forgot, she threw it out shortly after drinking, because EVERYTHING LACKED ANY FORM OF FLAVOR. I don't know if they were having an off day as they have many great reviews, but this was a really bad food experience I have had in such a long time. The price did not match what they offer. Luckily I got a full refund for my food items and left them their tip. The woman taking our order was truly very nice...

Disappointment from start to finish!

I was excited to try this place considering all the very good reviews. I spent some time deciding what to try (it was all new to me), and I ended up choosing this dish where I could choose 3 proteins and 3 sides (I thought it was a good way to taste and try different things).

After having waited a long time to reach the counter for ordering, the lady told me that there was a mistake on the menu and I had to choose just 2 proteins and only 1 side. On the spot I didn't know what else I could choose, and it was getting late considering all the wait, and I ended up accepting to have that dish anyway.

Once I received the plate the disappointment was high! For a $50 dish, you expect to receive a very rich plate, but it wasn't at all! I really regret not having taken a picture! I'm sure you would agree with me. I wouldn't value it more than $25!

And also, one of the proteins was the wrong one. The waitress insisted and it was that I ordered, but I ordered shredded pork, no pork belly. At the end she offered to bring a small portion of the shredded pork, that's what I ordered.

I rarely spend $50 for a dish and this has been the worst occasion! And if I knew in advance the real options for that plate I would never,...
