Socal Cantina is Brickell's favorite hang out spot! We serve Cali-Mex style tacos, burritos, bowls, nachos and more. Our cocktails are all original creations and have won numerous awards, including the best margarita in Miami for our famous Gardener's Margarita. We love dogs and even have an "all dogs go to brunch" Brunch inspired by our best friends on Saturdays with hand-shaken water and free ice cream for them to chase around our spot. Swing by for a taco and a drink, we promise you won't want to leave.

    Always wanted to eat here it was so disappointing Margaritas where unimpressive and food just ok. Service was lacking like they didn’t want to be bothered. Will never return

    Had made a reservation so seating was immediate but everything after that took a really long time. Had to flag the server down, had to follow up on orders, and then the drinks and food were subpar. It’s not even like a good ‘American’ version of Mexican that you have lower standards for. Would not recommend

    I made reservations via this app and they couldn’t attend us because they had a different time schedule then the app. I think the times should be updated . I made a reservation and arrived 15 minutes early and they couldn’t attend me because they had closed already .

    We moved next door from this place and decided to give it a try once and it went well but that was the only time. We came here a little while later and service wasn’t all that. Food came really late. Not too pleased. We decided to give this place another try and again took a while for server to come to our table, drinks came on time but then food took probably almost about an hour to get to us. So we decided instead to take our food to go and still waited for that to happen...it was a while before we decided to maybe give it another shot we dined recently and once again disappointed by how long it took to get our food. Not sure what happened since our first visit but it shouldn’t take 30+ minutes for tacos to be served.
