The place
Gol Taco is a Mexican taqueria in Little Havana, Miami, serving budget-priced tacos al pastor, carne asada, chorizo, and pescado frito from $1.95 — one block from Calle Ocho's Domino Park. The kitchen sticks to traditional taqueria fare — tacos, flautas, empanadas, tostadas, quesadillas, and fajitas — with most menu items under five dollars and entrées rarely above nine. The dining room features colorful murals and rustic decor with walk-in counter service. Hours are Monday through Thursday 9 AM to 4 PM, Friday and Saturday 9 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday 11 AM to 9 PM. House-made salsas and guacamole are prepared in-house daily. Gol Taco accepts credit cards, takes reservations, and offers takeout and delivery. The restaurant can be reached by phone at (305) 456-5290.
Gol Taco is a Mexican taqueria in Little Havana, Miami, sitting on SW 1st Street one block from Calle Ocho's Domino Park, where Cuban cafés and Mexican taquerias share the same Latin Quarter block. The dining room leans casual — colorful murals, rustic wooden furnishings, and a counter-forward layout that points to its taqueria roots rather than a sit-down concept.
The menu is built around tacos: al pastor, carne asada, chorizo, and fried fish (pescado frito) are the core, joined by flautas de pollo or res, cheese-, chicken-, or beef-stuffed empanadas, tostadas, fajitas de res or pollo, and quesadillas. House-made salsas and a simple guacamole y totopos round out the table. With most tacos priced around $2 and entrées rarely above $9, it reads as a value-driven neighborhood spot rather than a destination concept.
Diners chasing a more upscale night out can cross the river to ConSentido Miami in Brickell, where an Asian fusion raw bar and sake-forward cocktail program trade the taqueria's $2 tacos for a date-night setting.
For a similar counter-style taqueria across town, Taquitos Mexicanos El Paso in Allapattah works the same al pastor, carne asada, and handmade-tortilla playbook at the corner of NW 27th Ave.
Late-night taco hunters heading north of the river can find a similar street-taco lineup at TAKEROLOKO Allapattah, a cash-or-Zelle food truck on NW 32nd Street pulling birria, al pastor, chorizo, carne asada, and camarones until 1 AM.
Across the bay in South Beach, Alma Mexicana works a similar traditional playbook — al pastor, carnitas, and double-wrapped fish tacos — out of a family-owned kitchen on Washington Avenue.
A few blocks north on the pedestrian-only Espanola Way strip, La Tiendita Taqueria South Beach runs the same al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas playbook in a Mediterranean-style promenade setting.
Another South Beach option in the same counter-service mold is Tacomoli, a fast-casual taqueria on 15th Street turning out tacos al pastor, birria, and burritos a few blocks from Lincoln Road.
Reservations are accepted, but most guests walk in to the counter. Takeout and delivery are available, and credit cards are accepted. Street parking is the norm in Little Havana — plan for some circling on busy weekends, when the late Friday and Saturday hours (until 11 PM) draw a livelier crowd than the weekday lunch service.
