Here in Miami, we don’t need an excuse to scarf down Mexican fare, but with Cinco de Mayo around the corner, we have all the more reason for an all out feast. No matter if it’s for the big holiday or just because it’s Tuesday, get the vibrant, feisty flavors you crave in a sleek, upscale setting (with spacious patio!) at Mercadito Taqueria. Get better quality eats at taco truck prices with today’s deal of $20 worth of food and drink for just $10. 

While other restaurants claim to have won awards for best tacos or largest vat of queso, Mercadito has something even better: a New Times Best of Miami Award for Best Booze-Based Flu Cure. Named the el Pirata, this germ puvelrizer is made up of El Jimador Blanco Tequila to kill off viruses, pineapple juice for vitamin C, a heavy dash of house spices to get the salivary glands going again, hot jalapeno peppers to clear the sinuses and a dose of beer for…well, just because. The menu offers exquisitely executed renditions of chili relleno, steak Tampiqueña, enchiladas verdes and tacos of the pastor, carnitas, mole and fish variety. There is also an extensive variety of guacamoles including apply, tomatillo, almond and habanero.
