We've spent the last nine years searching for seriously delicious tacos in Córdoba City. Sadly, the best we could find were the ones we made at home. So whenever we stumbled upon those hard taco shells from Old El Paso—whether at Walmart, Falabella (which no longer exists in Córdoba), or international shops like Almacen de Mario and Mercado Del Mundo—we stocked up and got cooking.
And before you ask—no, there’s no Taco Bell or Chipotle in Córdoba City. In fact, there isn’t a single location anywhere in Argentina, at least as of 2021.
Thankfully, we can now get our taco fix from Miami Tacos, a delivery-only spot with a menu that leans more American than Mexican. It’s classic Tex-Mex: soft and hard shell tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. They also list refried beans and chicken wings, though those two are currently unavailable.

Honestly, they had me at the name Miami Tacos—Miami, Florida, is my hometown, after all. Still, I was a bit hesitant to order. I've been burned before by Argentine restaurants promising "authentic" tacos, only to be let down by food that tasted overwhelmingly Argentine.
But the moment I took my first bite from Miami Tacos, the crunch of the shell transported me straight back to the 1980s and early '90s.
Even though Miami has a large Cuban population, Taco Bells were everywhere. Sure, Taco Bell is technically American fast food, but no one really cared about that distinction back in the States—and it certainly didn’t matter to me growing up.
One of my most treasured childhood memories is sitting with my mom at Taco Bell, sharing tacos and heart-to-heart conversations. Those days are long gone, but the flavors from Miami Tacos brought me right back to those moments—memories I’ll always carry in my heart.
