Tacombi — Restaurant in Miami

I live a couple blocks away and I’ve never been impressed by their food, which is fine. And while it’s to be expected when going to a Miami taco place that they’re going to overcharge you for extremely small individual tacos, I decided to give it another try based upon their taco Tuesday “buy one get one” special. So we ended up ordering 4 steak tacos and 4 chicken tacos. We get the bill and the 4 “free” tacos were the less expensive chicken ones with full charge for the steak tacos, which was of course not what was advertised nor how BOGO works, as anyone who has ever been to a Publix knows. You don’t get buy one get one on packs of chicken and steak but only get the two packs of chicken for free at checkout. You get the cheaper one of the two identical items you purchased for free. I asked the waiter about it and was given an explanation that if we had just ordered the tacos individually, such as 1 steak taco at a time we’d get the accompanying steak taco for free but since we ordered them all at once, buying one steak taco, doesn’t give you a free steak taco, such as a “buy one, get one free” advertisement would indicate but means you just get your cheapest taco for free. So essentially, we paid more because we made the waiter’s job easier by ordering all at once instead of once at a time and paid the same amount we would’ve if we had ordered 8 of the more expensive steak tacos. Just really asinine all together but also super patronizing to customers. If you’re charging $6 for a single little taco, $8 for some chips and a scoop of guac, and $5 for a bottle of coke, do you really need to be doing shady crap with your special that you proactively offered and advertised? Either have a...

A taqueria in the Design District with a clutch happy hour is the ultimate pit stop! Whether you’re taking a break from shopping, looking for an affordable bite and/or hankering for solid tacos and tostadas, this place is here for you. I met a bunch of friends for drinks and a bite before an event. The manager and staff are welcoming and helped take care of a group that kept getting larger as more friends showed up!

The interior looks like a polished cafeteria, with pastel colors and metal chairs. This means you can be as cute or casual as you like. The menu is brief, but very straightforward, and you can mark off how many of each dish or drink you would like, and hand it to your server.

I had the Sweet Potato and Black Bean tacos which were by one get one during happy hour. Yes, you can get tacos starting at one apiece. The sweet potato was well cooked and mashed, blended and seasoned very well with the black bean. The Cotija on top gave it a slight salty emphasis that made it very fulfilling to eat. I was satisfied with eating the two tacos washing it down with a Monopolio IPA completed my snack meal!

I shared a friends tequila shot, and I have to say, the tequila was actually very smooth. I love the touch of adding a Tajin rim to the lime garnish.

Their happy hour is the place to be. From 5-7 pm on weekdays, they have the BOGO select tacos (starting at $4.95), $9 Hours Margaritas (regular or spicy!) and Sandia Fresca (watermelon juice and tequila) and $5 beers. With these prices and lineup, I’ll make every excuse to go for tacos any...

I really wanted to love this restaurant but the flavor is not there. Beautiful location and atmosphere tho.

We had Tostada de Aguacate, Al Pastor, Esquites, seared fish and Pollo Yucateco.

I been to Yucatán many times and the Pollo Yucateco seasoning tastes nothing to the typical flavor. It says on the description “spicy recado rojo”, there’s nothing that is spicy about it.

The Al pastor meat was over marinated. We could taste way too much adobo and we know that in Mexico the meat is not marinated that way. At least not with too much adobo

I liked having the salsa concept in the bottle but again they lack in flavor. In Mexico even, if it’s a taco stand or a restaurant they alway have fresh salsa as an option, here we didn’t.

Tortillas were delicious, took me back home in minutes (Mexico city)

Service: There were only about 3 tables filled, our server disappeared. We had to go ask the manager to help us place our order, and the server didn’t come to ask if we needed anything else, yet he was too busy chatting with the other servers instead of checking on his table. It was very slow but still keep an eye on your tables.

One thing that I believe it’s important to consider while running a Mexican cuisine business, especially here in South Florida, is the cooks or chef. Having people preparing the food from the origin of the cuisine makes a big difference. I might sound shallow minded but having cooks from Mexico, where they know the flavor, the right amount of spices makes a big impact....
