Coyo Taco
#21 of 22 Restaurants in Miami
Wynwood's go-to taco counter: fresh-pressed tortillas, solid al pastor, and a not-so-secret bar hidden behind a door in the back. Open past 2 AM, so it doubles as the neighborhood's late-night kitchen. Honest caveat: it's a polished mini-chain at Wynwood prices, not a hole-in-the-wall taqueria.
“Coyo Taco is starting to feel like a Wynwood classic... the housemade tortillas, addictive chipotle sauce, and carne asada will satisfy a taco craving.”

What locals actually do here
Order al pastor and elote, skip the pricey extras
The fresh tortillas and pastor are the reason to come; the add-ons and margarita pitchers are where the bill balloons. Two tacos and a corn is a proper meal.

Go before 7 PM or after midnight, and check the back door
Dinner prime time on weekends means a long line. Early evening is calm, and after midnight the hidden mezcal bar in the back is the better half of the experience — just walk past the counter and try the unmarked door.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Coyo Taco good for vegetarians?
- Yes — they do vegetarian options like grilled veggie and mushroom tacos that aren't an afterthought. The elote and guac round out a meatless meal easily.
- Is Coyo Taco expensive?
- Tacos run a few dollars each more than a strip-mall taqueria, and a full meal with a drink lands in casual-restaurant territory. You're partly paying for the Wynwood location — the food is good, just know what you're buying.
- What should I order at Coyo Taco?
- Al pastor is the crowd favorite, and the tortillas are pressed fresh in front of you, which is most of the magic. The grilled corn (elote) is the side worth adding; guac is good but you're paying Wynwood prices for it.
- Is Coyo Taco authentic Mexican food?
- It's good, fresh, street-style Mexican built for the Wynwood crowd — think elevated taqueria rather than family-run spot. If you want the real-deal cheap tacos, locals go elsewhere; if you want tacos plus the Wynwood scene, this is the right call.
- Do I need a reservation at Coyo Taco?
- No — you order at the counter and grab a seat, inside or on the patio. At peak Friday and Saturday nights expect a line out the door, but it moves reasonably fast.
- How late is Coyo Taco open?
- Until 2 AM early in the week and 3 AM Thursday through Sunday. It's one of the few reliable late-night food options in Wynwood, which is exactly when it's most appreciated.
- What's the secret bar at Coyo Taco?
- Behind an unmarked door past the taco counter there's a dim little mezcal bar with DJs most nights. There's no password or anything — just walk toward the back and ask if it's open. It gets going late, especially Thursday through Saturday.
- Where do I park for Coyo Taco in Wynwood?
- Paid lots and garages are scattered all over Wynwood, and street parking is metered and competitive. On weekend nights just take a rideshare — Wynwood parking prices spike when it's busy.
