Al Chile Taco Bar — Restaurant in North Miami Beach

Maybe my daughter/daddy date was better than some of the other reviewers here. Our food was good to damned good. We tasted quite a bunch of offerings here. Nothing tasted weird, out of place, poorly cooked or badly presented. The pork belly atop the pico was excellent! I had three different tacos--Birria, Pastor and Carnitas. Each one tasted meaty, spicy without being hot, seasoned according to the type of meat and cooked perfectly. The meat wasn't exactly USDA Prime, but it tasted good. I also had a burrito, this was the Campeche-style, steak with cheese and a dollop of sour cream. DEEE-licious! Their tortillas are machine-made, but are well-constructed and flavorful.

I get that businesses need support, but charging $53.10 for just two items? Really? To top it off, the guacamole tasted like some packaged paste, and the meat was so salty it was almost inedible. The only thing worth anything was the...

The food here is delicious and flavorful. Definitely the best tacos I've had. I have been a regular customer from before, when they had a food truck. Their Taco Tuesdays specials are great, you're able to mix and match. Also, some of the tacos come with like a guacamole sauce, not really guacamole, which is why you can't taste it. BEWARE- they automatically include tip regardless of eating there or taking to go!!! Not cool. This place should give an option for the tip, not make it a requirement. Normally, restaurants automatically include tip on the bill when it's a large party for dining in. There is no sign on the counter of the automatic tip or anything, you'll just see it on your receipt, which you have to ask for...
