The place
Taquitos Mexicanos El Paso is a traditional Mexican taqueria in Allapattah, Miami, serving tacos al pastor, carne asada, tortas, and sopes at 1401 NW 27th Ave. The kitchen turns out counter-style plates rooted in central-Mexican taqueria tradition — handmade corn tortillas, slow-marinated al pastor on the trompo, and made-in-house salsas, rice, and beans. Sitting at the intersection of NW 27th Avenue and NW 14th Street, the spot anchors one of Miami's most authentic Latin American food corridors, west of Wynwood and north of Little Havana. Allapattah is a working-class neighborhood recognized for its concentration of authentic Mexican and Central American restaurants, and Taquitos Mexicanos El Paso is a go-to for locals looking for a fast, affordable, no-frills Mexican meal rather than tourist-polished fare.
Taquitos Mexicanos El Paso is a traditional Mexican taqueria in Allapattah, Miami, serving tacos al pastor, carne asada, tortas, and sopes at 1401 NW 27th Ave — a no-frills neighborhood spot anchoring one of the city's most underrated Mexican food corridors. Sitting just a short drive from Wynwood and the Health District, it's the kind of low-key counter-service taqueria locals lean on for quick, authentic Mexican food rather than tourist-polished fare.
The menu leans hard into traditional taqueria classics: tacos in handmade corn tortillas with al pastor, carne asada, pollo, or chorizo; quesadillas, tortas on telera bread, burritos, and handmade sopes topped with beans, meat, lettuce, and crema. House-made salsas, rice, and beans round out every plate, and tacos arrive the proper way — onion, cilantro, and lime on the side. Wash it all down with horchata, jamaica, or tamarindo agua fresca. Most tacos run $3–4 and full plates stay under $15, keeping it firmly in budget-friendly ($) territory.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM Sunday through Thursday and 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Friday and Saturday. The restaurant runs as a casual walk-in spot, so reservations are not required. Free street parking is generally available along NW 27th Avenue and the surrounding side streets. For takeout, call ahead at (786) 470-0864.
