DD's TACO is a late-night Mexican taqueria in Allapattah, Miami, tucked into 1801 NW 17th Ave and holding a 4.9-star Google score across 49 reviews. The room is small and unpretentious, the menu is tight, and the doors stay open well past midnight — handy for the post-shift Civic Center crowd, the Calle Ocho overflow, and anyone leaving a Miami Marlins game looking for real chilaquiles instead of stadium food.

Order the Quesi Birria — slow-braised beef and melted cheese pressed into a crisp tortilla with a cup of consommé for dipping — alongside the Pollo Ceibeño and a plate of chilaquiles, which reviewers consistently call out for their generous portion. Round it out with a torta, a beef-and-mix taco trio, and a glass of fresh maracuya (passion fruit) juice that regulars rave about.

For a different take on birria, the Little Havana taco truck Chilango Soul Miami runs an evening-only stand at 1801 NW 7th St with birria, pastor, lengua, and camarón from Mexican chefs.

DD's TACO does not take reservations and runs walk-in only. Service is counter-style with table seating, and there is street parking along NW 17th Avenue and the surrounding Allapattah blocks. The kitchen offers takeout in-house and delivery through Grubhub, DoorDash, Seamless, and Uber Eats. Hours run Sunday 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, Monday through Wednesday 5:00 PM to midnight, Thursday 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, and Friday and Saturday 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM.

The Allapattah Setting

Allapattah is Miami's produce-district neighborhood just west of Wynwood — warehouses, wholesale markets, and some of the city's most honest Latin food at pre-gentrification prices. Eat here now; the art galleries are already circling. That context explains DD's TACO: a mexican spot at fair mid-range prices that answers to its neighbors first.
