Talavera Cocina Mexicana - Coral Gables

We returned after a few years since our last visits, which we enjoyed. This time, however, the experience was exceptionally better. I remember enjoying the food during our previous visits, but this time, the entire experience was truly memorable. The drinks were beautifully balanced and presented. I appreciated that the bar service runner returned after we had a few sips to check how we liked the drinks—such a nice touch. Our server was friendly and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. We were dining with another couple celebrating their birthdays, and we sampled a variety from the menu, including starters, traditional dishes, wood-fired items, tacos, snacks, and dessert. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic Mexican dining experience.

Fantastic! The drinks, food, and service were all outstanding! I can't wait to come back!

I accidentally made a reservation at Talavera without knowing much about it, but we were thoroughly impressed! The music, food, service, and cocktails were all outstanding. Our waitress, Rosemarie, was attentive and incredibly helpful. We decided to try the grasshoppers and worms for something different...it was an interesting experience, although I'm not sure I'd crave it again. Overall, this has become our new favorite spot!

Took 15 minutes to see waiter, not sure how look it would have taken had we not flagged down a wait staff for help. Tables are so close on one side of restaurant, one waiter when passing stuck his hand in our tortilla basket to keep his balance when going around the chair in the table next to us. The loss of the tortilla chips common years ago and now replaced with a few large tortilla chip disks which are dry and divorced of any flavor kill the desire to dip into the flavorful sauces. I will say that the margaritas on our visit were really good. Sad that this restaurant has gone from one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, to now one we may go to if convenient on a given day.

Been there many times always great authentic Mexican food value.
