From surf and turf tacos created by executive chefs to authentic tacos straight from the Yucatan Peninsula, here are the 6 taco trucks in Miami you don’t want to miss. If you are looking for a taco tent to cater your next event, there’s a “best for” section to help you narrow things down.
1. F. Fin Taco Truck
If you find yourself wandering the Miami streets searching for fresh Mexican fare, look no further than F. Fin Taco truck. There’s no room for frozen meats or canned goods in this roaming restaurant on wheels. Everything is freshly prepared and cooked with locally sourced products.
After working across the country as an executive chef, Isaac Romero followed his dream of starting F. Fin Taco Truck to rekindle his love for the art of food and cooking. And it shows in the truck’s Florida-inspired menu.
F. Fin’s angle is a zesty twist on surf and turf in taco form. The seafood taco menu includes two varieties: one with mahi-mahi and another with seasoned pink shrimp from Key West. Both are topped with tangy citrus slaw and a signature F. Fin sauce. And both smash you with a wave of seriously fresh flavor.
On the turf side of things, the options are seasoned grilled chicken tacos topped with plantains and a marinated slow-roasted pork taco that’s practically melty. There’s even a mushroom confit taco smothered in street corn salsa for vegetarians—sans the fresh cotija cheese for vegans.
Not feeling like tacos? F. Fin’s menu extends to quesadillas, rice bowls, and salad bowls. Give the nachos a try: Freshly-made tortilla chips topped with white queso, beans, salsa, F. Fin sauce, and cilantro. For Mexican food with maximum freshness and a zesty twist, book F. Fin Taco Truck for your next event.
