As food bloggers, we’re always in search of great cuisine. While we know our namesake city like the back of our hands, anything north of the county line is still a little foreign. Thankfully, we can count on Taste History Culinary Tours to show us around whenever we make the trek up.

Back in March, we embarked on an eye-opening adventure through Lake Worth and Lantana with the company, which specializes in fun and delicious tours through different areas of Palm Beach County. Little did we know that both cities have their share of culinary gems that can stand up to anything in the 305. And after our latest Taste History tour, we can say the same about Boynton Beach and Delray Beach.

Since starting the blog, we’ve interviewed many members of the hospitality industry, and one constant among the interviewees has been a profound love for their pets. We thought it would be great to share this love with our readers. That’s why we launched an ongoing feature called “Wag Wednesday” to showcase industry peeps and their pets.

This week, we’re featuring Joshua Gripper, Executive Pastry Chef at The Dutch, and his dog, Bentley.

Coyo Taco Brings Tasty Tacos and Tortas to Brickell

Brickell residents and visitors have a new place to get their taco fix: Coyo Taco. The Wynwood eatery opened a second location at Axis Brickell (1111 SW 1st Avenue) back in May, bringing its beloved Mexican street food experience across town. Guests can expect many of the classics from the original outpost, plus several items specific to the Brickell branch.

When we’re in Brickell and in the mood for Mexican food, we usually think of Cantina La Veinte. However, that’s not a place we can afford to eat at every day … but Coyo Taco is. Having visited Coyo’s Wynwood location and the now-defunct Shore Club location, we know to expect quality food at a reasonable price point.

For us, Coyo Taco is just what the neighborhood needs: a reliable fast-casual Mexican restaurant that won’t break the bank and is open late. And now with even more delicious items on the menu, it’s no surprise that Coyo has quickly become a neighborhood favorite.
