Abuela's Tacos

Abuela's Tacos brings a grandmother-inspired take on Mexican food to Collins Ave in Miami Beach's Flamingo/Lummus area, steps from Ocean Drive. The menu leans on birria tacos, al pastor, mahi mahi and ribeye tacos, elotes, and ceviche, backed by a full bar pouring margaritas, mojitos, and cocktails.

The dining room and patio draw a mixed crowd of locals, tourists, and solo diners, with servers frequently called out by name in reviews for quick, friendly attention. It's a Latino-owned and women-owned restaurant with a casual, trendy feel that gets loud and busy on weekend nights, plus a daily happy hour from 4 to 7pm.

Outdoor seating, dog-friendly patio space, vegan and vegetarian options, and a kids' menu make it workable for groups, families, and solo travelers alike grabbing a quick lunch or a late dinner. Expect moderate-to-high Miami Beach prices, with a service charge applied to the bill.
