Tacontento on Eater Miami

Eater Miami is talking about Tacontento already.
Tacontento, the Mexican taqueria hailing from Guatemala and 14 other locations in Latin America, is prepping for an early June opening. Translated as "be happy" in English, the taco spot uses no preservatives, no can openers and no freezers. Tortillas are made onsite at a traditional Comal and salsas are prepared daily. There will be outdoor patio seating and a full bar as well. Everything on the menu is under $20. Tacocento's Bar Agave will feature all sorts of cocktails made with, among other things, 100 % blue agave tequila. The restaurant will be open Sunday through Wednesday from noon to midnight and Thursday through Saturday from noon to 1am. [EaterWire]
