Cheen Huaye Southern Mexican Restaurant

"After spending ten years traveling around Mexico and sampling everything edible (and some things not) I found this place soon after it opened--like 15 years ago or so. Reviewed it two years ago. What caught my attention was the Cochinita Pibil, an unusual Yucatecan pork dish that is rarely found outside of that region. I realize that it's hard to replicate many of the tastes of Mexico due to the differences in ingredients and the difficulty finding some of them, like epazote. This is one of them. Marinated in citrus and achiote, wrapped in banana leaves, then barbecued and shredded, it has an earthy, sweet taste that is incomparable. If it was truly authentic, it would be cooked in a hole in the ground. Their version is superb. Another recommended dishes is the mole poblano, a heavenly dish made with shredded chicken and a sauce made with like 137 ingredients including tortilla meal, chiles and chocolate. As a soup lover, I always order their tortilla soup, made with a broth of tomato, garlic, onion, chile de árbol and epazote. My companion had this plate with three delicious steak tacos on it that I completely ignored while diving into my own. Good Mexican beers that aren't all Corona. Waitress was attentive and humorous. Like most restaurants, they do have their occasional bad dish or server--just not when I'm around."

"This is a great spot for Mexican cuisine! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. The staff was very friendly and professional. Nicholas our waiter was great, he gave us great recommendations. The food was great, high quality and fresh. Will definitely visit again!"

"Had to see a customer in NMB. This was off Biscaybe Blvd. They get 4 stars because of service and atmosphere. The location is nice. Lots of Tequila and Mezcal options. Maragrita and chips were good. Where I would give 3 stars is for there ceviche. Was to much lime juice. Was starving so I ate it all. Would like to come back one day for Taco Tuesday that starts at 4pm. And give it one more try."

"My honest opinion, the free chips and salsa really tasty . The guacamole appetizer is fresh but lacking flavor. I first ordered a el pastor taco and got terrified when I saw the big chunks of pork looked like ribs cut up, definitely not the type of el pastor I ever had in many of the places I’ve tried in Miami . DEFINITELY NOT A TACO SPOT. buttt fortunately the service was immaculate which is why they get 3 stars I would give 5 for service but food 3. Server took back the taco right away and I asked what to order to give the place a fair chance and he offered the enchiladas and I will say that was the best enchilada I’ve had in a while in flavor but the chicken is was dry. Disappointed on tacos from what I see in the other reviews all tacos are giant meat cuts. The mezcal drink was worth it all. I wouldn’t recommend this place for the best Mexican cuisine but worth trying the bigger plates .and possibly coming for just a drink"

"This place is a hidden gem. Read great reviews and decide to try. The servers were friendly. They give you complimentary salsa and chips, so good. We ordered the enchiladas which was amazing! It was our first time trying this dish. We also got a set of 3 taco pastor and steak skirt tacos. So good. Best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. The prices are also reasonable."
