Perfect night, good temps, good tacos and drinks. I'd recommend this location for a visit and they have happy hour, bonus!
I am a huge Mexican foodie and the tacos here are AMAZING. I ordered the Anaheim, Los Angeles, and San Diego tacos and was very impressed. Each had such different flavors and it was one of the best Taco Tuesdays in a long while. We also ordered SoCal Tostadas that were out of this world. Everything was also very inexpensive due to the Taco Tuesday special. We had plans to run to so this place was perfect for a quick but sufficient meal. Note: The Tuesday specials are for dine-in only. Come stop by SoCal for some awesome eats if you're in the Brickell area!
Good vibes.
Food average.
Definitely not authentic Mexican - leans more Taco Bell. The waitress herself recommended 2 taco options with ground meat as the best sellers because they are like Taco Bell.
If price was closer to Taco Bell, I’d return.
This is a nice little spot, really comfy. Really friendly waiter but service was a bit slow. Their taco was delicious and their drinks 🥹 I would recommend. Not overpriced. If you’re looking for a place to have a drink with your friends it is the right spot for you
It was our first time here. I was there with two other friends. We were kinda hurry and they sat us right away. We chose the street tacos since they were on happy our accompanied with chips and guac. The food came promptly and it was very tasty. The only issue was the server was very slow to take our order or refill our drinks. We had to ask to out check to chef that’s was passing by. Besides that it’s a really good spot.
Came out of town from Virginia and was exploring Brickwell Miami and came across SoCal Catina location on S Miami Street and was suggested the surf n turf tacos which consist of shrimp ,steak ,avocado ,cooked onions & Serrano cilantro aioli sauce and it was DELICIOUS! The staff is wonderful and the atmosphere is nice chill with a variation of r&b, reggae, Spanish music . If you ever in town I highly suggest stopping by.
Despite asking who was going to serve me after a 5 minute sit down! The food and drinks are excellent. The Crunchwrap was so worth it! The guy server was bomb and the female server or waiter could be a little more friendly but it’s cool. I’m not white I get it! Other than that the place is worth checking out!!!!

I was walking around and needed a place to stop to send a few messages and take a break and have a little cocktail and I happen to stumble across this little cute spot, I’m not disappointed!
Ambiance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love being able to sit here and watch all the people walk by while I’m either checking messages, talking on the phone or just enjoying the scenery. The ambiance is great, music will please all!
Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I happen to walk in and sit down without realizing that they were not open yet, they were so super gracious, they offered me what they could before they were open and once they were open a very sweet young lady came and took care of me and I have zero complaints! Good people!
Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I decided not to order off their happy hour menu because I was hungry, but the happy hour menu looks amazing and very well priced! I had the fish tacos, they were extremely fresh, well prepared and well seasoned and beautifully plated.
Cocktails ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I ordered a beer first and it was nice and cold and came with a cold glass, that was a very nice touch. Once I had my waitress I ordered a skinny vodka strawberry margarita and I was very pleasantly surprised! The drink was well balanced between liquor and ice and juice and the strawberries tasted like they were fresh squeezed, very happy with my choice and I will definitely be coming back!
Need a place to walk to in Brickell? and people watch? and have a few cocktails and some decent food this is your spot you have to come here and check this place out I highly recommend!
Absolutely an adorable little outdoor bar. The staff is supper friendly and the drinks are amazing. We did not try food this time but everything that came out to other patrons looked amazing!!! Will come back!!!
Great experience. Random choice after landing in Miami. Great service, Fernando our server was super cool and helpful but so was everyone else who stopped by. Good drinks we all tried 2 different cocktails during happy hour, all were good. Food was great. We tried beef, chicken and pork street Tacos for $3 on happy hour. Meat is so flavourful and the spicy salsa is great. We got beef &chicken nachos for the table, my favorite thing!
& the music was fire. An upbeat variety of hip hop, pop, Latino music etc.
Note there is limited seating and it's all outside.. but luckily the weather was great!
This is a great little place to go for a quick casual meal with drinks. Tacos are pretty good at a decent price, but I will definitely have to come back on a Tuesday to take advantage of that Taco Tuesday deal. I still think the quality of Coyo Taco tacos are better, but the drink selection here is better by far! Definitely come during happy hour (weekday 5-7pm) to take advantage of their happy hour deals! It's a little tricky to find because it isn't totally obvious that it's sort of within Dolores But You Can Call Me Lolita. Definitely would recommend getting here by public transport or Uber because parking in Brickell is a pain.
Funky little spot in Miami. Area was very lively and the eye candy kept on coming. Drinks were super expensive but strong enough to hit just right. Food was decent. Our waitress was lifeless and appeared to have no interest in being at work that night but I guess if I had to deal with a bunch of drunkards all night in a pandemic I would feel some kind of way too.
Great happy hour drink specials! Staff was very friendly and attentive. We had the nachos & chicken and steak tacos which were delish! Cool spot with outdoor seating and all around cool vibes.
Nice spot in the mix of the city life in Brickell. Happy hour too. Get a beer or a drink. Get something to eat. Have a conversation with the bartender. See the people walk by. Basque in the ambience of the electric environment. This place is connected with Delores but you can call me Lolita restaurant upstairs. That restaurant is sister to Crazy About You also in Brickell. This spot has my Certificate of Approval.
Great vibe, excellent service. Try their margaritas! You can't go wrong. They're very tasty and pack a punch. We started with some queso and chips, and sampled a few of their tacos. We tried the Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Surf tacos. My favorite, hands down, was the Long Beach. Savory and sweet, with just the right mix in every bite. Would highly recommend to anyone for a fun, casual date night.
Went there tonight for Taco Tuesday when all tacos are $3. I ordered the Surf taco (fried fish), Santa Monica taco (chicken) and Tijuana taco (ground beef and bacon). All three were really good, fresh and tasty. Nice casual ambiance outside. Would definitely visit again.
After searching high and low for authentic Mexican food that is actually seasoned and flavorful, the search ends here. Fernando was the entire reason we chose to dine at this establishment. His energy is EVERYTHING!!🔥 He made me and my woman feel so welcomed from start to finish and honestly that made our night. The food, PHENOMENAL. The vibes, OUTSTANDING!! 🤌🏾🔥Being a Cali native they did not miss!! Thank you for having us. Fernando needs his kudos!! Forreal🙌🏾

Hands down some of our favorite tacos and arguably Miami’s best margarita (Gardener’s Margarita - voted 2017 best margarita in Miami by the Miami New Times) can be found at SoCal Cantina. Even though SoCal is located right on South Miami Avenue, it’s actually a little hidden. At first glance, it might seem like you’re walking into popular Brickell restaurant Dolores Lolita, but if you look to your immediate left, you’ll find SoCal.
What SoCal lacks in size they make up for in hospitality, awesome cocktails, and full-flavored tacos. Over the past few years, SoCal has become a watering hole for Brickell locals, where one can savor quality drinks, have good conversation, and enjoy the best #TacoTuesday in town ($3 tacos, $4 beers, and $5 classic margarita).
If you plan on paying them a visit, make sure to ask for the owners, Leo or AJ. You’ll often find them behind the bar engaging their patrons in conversation or showing them some mind-blowing magic tricks (yes, you read that correctly). In a city filled with beautiful, luxurious high-rises, exotic cars, and extravagant retail stores, it’s nice to find a place where none of that really matters. SoCal is an escape within the city. SoCal feels like home.
