Mari's Latin Grill is a Mexican restaurant in Key Biscayne, the small island community just across the Rickenbacker Causeway from downtown Miami. The vibe is casual and neighborhood-driven — the kind of spot regulars rely on for a quick taco lunch or a relaxed weekend dinner after the beach.
The menu leans on Mexican staples with a Latin twist: street-style tacos, grilled meats, rice-and-bean plates, and fresh salsas. Expect classics like carne asada, al pastor, quesadillas, and burritos alongside lighter bowls and salads. The kitchen's signature pull is the quesabirria tacos served with a side of rich beef consommé for dipping, rounded out by a house-made salsa trio that ranges from bright and herby to deeply smoky. Portions are generous and prices stay reasonable for the island.
Diners chasing that same al pastor-on-the-trompo tradition across the bay can find it at Taquitos Mexicanos El Paso in Allapattah, where handmade corn tortillas and house-made salsas anchor a similar counter-style menu.
The quesabirria-with-consommé tradition shows up across the bay too at Mezquite Taqueria & Michelada Bar in Coral Way, where comal-pressed tortillas and al pastor anchor a similar made-to-order menu.
Budget-minded taqueria fans willing to cross the causeway can find a similar al pastor and carne asada lineup at Gol Taco in Little Havana, where most tacos start around $1.95 a block from Domino Park.
Wynwood diners chasing the same al pastor and birria lineup can find it at Lady Savage Tacos, a mural-block taqueria a short walk from the Wynwood Walls that also turns out baja fish tacos.
Late-night taqueria fans crossing back over the causeway can find a similar street-style taco lineup at Takitows in Little Havana, where house-branded creations like the Frijolitows and Tremendito anchor a Calle Ocho menu near the Coral Gables border.
San Diego-style Baja tacos turn up across the causeway at Taco Stand Calle Ocho in Little Havana, where the Al Pastor tacos and a roomier counter setup anchor the Calle Ocho outpost of the San Diego-born chain.
Plant-based diners chasing a similar taqueria format across the bay can find organic vegan tacos, burritos, and quesadillas at Masaryk Taco in Wynwood, on the seam of the Design District and Edgewater.
Diners drawn to that globally-inflected taco approach can cross the causeway to Nacho Bizness International Taco Bar, a Brickell food truck whose menu folds Korean, Caribbean, and Latin American flavors into handheld Mexican formats.
Allapattah's Taqueria San Fernando works the same street-style playbook, with al pastor and carne asada tacos on corn tortillas starting around $3.50.
Key Biscayne parking is mostly street-side and small-lot, so plan for a short walk during peak hours. The restaurant is family-friendly and works well for takeout if you're heading to Crandon Park or Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Hours can vary seasonally on the island — call ahead to confirm hours, reservations, and any menu changes.
