With its mesmerizing margaritas, tantalizing tacos, and not-so-secret “secret” backend tequila bar with popsicle-infused “paletaritas,” COYO Taco {2300 Northwest Second Avenue, #3, Wynwood; 305.573.8228} has certainly made a name for itself as one of the hottest spots in Wynwood. And to celebrate its success, this trendy taqueria is giving Miamians a new way to enjoy it–by opening a second, much larger location in the Magic City’s trendy Brickell neighborhood. Official opening date? TOMORROW.

Located right at the foot of Axis Brickell {1111 Southwest First Avenue, Brickell}, one of the area’s most popular high-rises, this Brickell addition to the COYO Taco family will continue to delight with COYO classics like slow-roasted pork shoulder tacos and grilled cactus tacos, bean burrito bowls, fresh-made guacamole, and carne asada quesadillas. In the near future, Executive Chef/Partner Scott Linquist plans to add Mexican treats exclusive to the Brickell outpost; like tortas and a reinvented crispy octopus taco, this time with ají amarillo aïoli.

Similarly, the bar menu will start with quality local and Mexican beer and wine, and will eventually add on micheladas and sangría. Like the original location, this locale will be open for lunch, dinner and late-night, and will keep pumping the high-energy music the brand has become known for.

In short, COYO Taco will continue being the fine Mexican street food spot us Miami locals have come to know and love. And lucky for Brickell residents, starting tomorrow, it will be right outside their door.

COYO Taco Brickell will be open seven days a week, from 11am-11pm Sunday through Thursday, and 11am-3am Friday and Saturday.
