About Taqueria Morelia

Taqueria Morelia is a beloved family-owned Mexican restaurant in Homestead, Florida, serving authentic dishes rooted in the culinary traditions of Michoacán, Mexico since 2007. Founded by a family originally from Michoacán, the restaurant is named after the state's capital — and their youngest daughter — and has grown to two South Florida locations.

The Homestead spot is known for freshly handmade corn tortillas, a vibrant salsa bar, and a wide range of traditional dishes including tacos, burritos, alambre, birria tacos, and hearty soups like menudo and consommé. With a full bar, micheladas, and booth seating in a roomy, casual setting, Taqueria Morelia strikes the perfect balance between neighborhood staple and weekend destination.

Praised by Miami New Times as the 'Best Mexican Restaurant,' this $20–30 per person eatery welcomes families, groups, and solo diners alike — with kids' menus, high chairs, and ample free parking rounding out the experience.
