Coyo Taco

Wildly popular taqueria with a hidden speakeasy behind the kitchen, a Wynwood institution since 2015

Coyo Taco helped define Wynwood's dining boom and still draws a queue most evenings. The front is a counter-service taqueria turning out handmade tortillas and tacos — al pastor carved off the spit, mushroom with huitlacoche, octopus — washed down with horchata or a michelada. The food is genuinely good, not just a backdrop for the neighbourhood.

The open secret is the speakeasy hidden behind the kitchen: walk past the counter and through an unmarked door to find a dark cocktail bar that runs late into the night with a DJ. Order tacos at the front, then disappear into the back for mezcal.
