3930 NE 2nd Ave Suite, Miami Design District / 69 SW 7th St, Brickell
Originating from a converted VW bus in Playa del Carmen, Tacombi brings the essence of Mexican cuisine to Miami with its eclectic taquerias located across the city. With locations in Brickell and the Design District, the laid-back atmosphere belies the fact that they serve some of the best tacos in town.
Their beef birria taco is one of their signature dishes, with slow-cooked beef enveloped in warm corn tortillas that simply melt in your mouth. For a delightful crunch, try their Baja crispy fish taco, featuring beer-battered cod and fresh toppings. Don't miss their corn esquites — a creamy, spicy street corn that’s rich in flavor.
Here at Miami Culinary Tours, we love Tacombi so much that we visit it as part of both our Miami Design District Walking Food Tour and our Wynwood Food and Street Art Tour!
