Reviews for Talavera Cocina Mexicana in Coral Gables, FL

Pretty looking restaurant in Coral Gables. The food was pretty good. Queso fundido was amazing. Guacamole had a great twist to... it with the chicharrón on top. The steak tacos were fresh but really lacked some flavor - cilantro was minimal, onions weretasteless. I had to use a lot of salt to flavor them up. The drinks were very good but drink service was slow - we got our foodway before the first round of drinks. Service was okay - nothing phenomenal but waitress was friendly. Overall a good place ifyou want a “fancier” restaurant for Mexican food rather than the local stands. Read more

Sat at the bar and had few drinks before on a Sunday with a friend. Me being a Mexican born and picky when it comes to Mexican... food I wanted to try this place for a long time. Had the mole which wasn’t bad. Drinks were very tasty and everyone wasnice. Only thing was bartender hardly ever smile and seemed moody. (Some young dark hair guy) I work in the restaurantbusiness so I can be picky lol. But he made great drinks. I would definitely go back. Read more

The huarache de cochinita pibil was not authentic. The huarache was like a brick of dough and the pork was not seasoned... properly. There were hardly any black beans on it. The sauce to accompany the huarache seemed unrelated. I would not order itagain. But I must say the ambiance and the service were outstanding. Read more

Delicious food. Parking was hard and we came before noon on a Tuesday. They redecorated and it looks beautiful on the inside,... very upscale Mexican type restaurant. There’s outside seating. The menu is on the web. Read more

The first few times, I wasn't impressed...but...they have improved on service. Alba was our waitress and she was on top of... things. We went on a night that was full inside and out. Eating outside, they have gathered more tables and space so they haveto serve plenty of people. The food was surprisingly quick. We had the ceviche, the enchiladas suizas, the flautas, theenmoladas, and the guava cheesecake. They weren't like mom's but were good. Read more

Food is salty or soggy but waiter was very nice. Bathroom is a single stall. My taco hard shell was soft (possibly due to sauce)... my friend’s dish had so much sauce that he thought it was a soup. My salmon was ok but the diced potatoes underneath were sosalty. I think this is the second time I tried it in a span of four years and it still didn’t impress me on cuisine but it hasa nice atmosphere. Hopefully others have better luck with their menu choices. The bread pudding could have been sweeter orsoaked longer in the wet ingredients but at least it was more legit than some other places. Read more

We came here for cinco de mayo and the line was obviously out the door. However, I had made reservations a month in advance and... they did not seem to have a way to distinguish between folks with reservations and folks wanting to put their name on a list, sothe hostess pretty much just ignored all of us. It was about 30 minutes before we were finally seated. Once seated, our serverdid the best she could to attend to us but she seemed spread pretty thin. The food was good. Chips and salsa came with 2 salsasthat we kept and used for our entree. The melted cheese was delicious and the steak was just ok. They have a wide variety ofmargaritas, but they were too sweet for my liking so I stuck with the traditional margarita. Overall, we had a good experience,they just need to figure out the seating service. Read more
