\u201cMaybe people just like waiting in lines?\u201d Hernandez jokes when asked why the taqueria went viral.<\/p>\n
But then he gets serious:\u00a0\u201cWith farms, people can come pick fruits, they pet animals, and everyone gets a whole experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, lunchtime crowds on Saturdays and Sundays queue up in front of the pavilion to try Rinc\u00f3n del Taco\u2019s four fillings \u2014 chicken, grilled mushroom, al pastor and carne asada \u2014 on ground corn masa tortillas, quesadillas and huaraches. The deluge initially made Hernandez as nervous as the farm animals, so he hired five more workers, for a total of 11.<\/p>\n

The pop-up can also be found on Thursdays at Pembroke Lakes Mall and Fridays back at Family Farms, but \u201cwe get zero traffic\u201d there, he says. \u201cBecause of [the] videos, people only think we\u2019re open Saturday and Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe never paid for any advertising,\u201d adds Hernandez, who\u2019s admittedly not social media-savvy. \u201cClients say they see me on Insta. I see one video that\u2019s blowing up with like 6,000 likes in four hours and I\u2019m like, \u2018Dang.\u2019 Must be some algorithm thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
On a recent Saturday, visitors swelter under the sun in a long line stretching into the dirt parking lot\u00a0and swap rumors as passing chickens cluck at their ankles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard it\u2019s an hour wait,\u201d Lourdes Pion tells her friend, Zaida Jones, as she wipes\u00a0her brow.<\/p>\n
Jones checks the time on her smartphone \u2014 12:47 p.m. \u2014 then searches for nearby taquerias on Google, weighing options: \u201cDo we seriously wait an hour for the best tacos in Broward?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis couple ahead of me said \u2018two hours\u2019 and just bounced,\u201d Pion\u2019s fiancee, Kenny Lopez, offers helpfully. Pion just stares at him, sun-fatigued.<\/p>\n

The trio, who traveled here from Pembroke Pines, say they also discovered Rinc\u00f3n del Taco through\u00a0TikTok reels<\/a> that featured\u00a0fast edits of rustic signs, \u201chidden gem\u201d text overlays, close-ups of bewildered baby goats and blooming sunflowers in strawberry fields.<\/p>\n \u201c[Lourdes] sent me the reels and said, \u2018I want to go here.\u2019 And for me, that\u2019s a sign you listen,\u201d Lopez says. \u201cPlus, we can pick strawberries after.\u201d<\/p>\n By 1:30 p.m., the Family Farms parking lot bursts with people on a taco pilgrimage. Under the breezy pavilion, it\u2019s assembly-line poetry: Hernandez\u2019s mother turns hunks of al pastor meat on the propane grill, which crackles and chars against her tongs. She spritzes water on it to release a fragrant wisp of white smoke. At folding tables covered in colorful serapes, crockpots bubble with carne asada, as Hernandez\u2019s brother, sister and other workers prep chile de arbol and dice onions for guacamole. His father pours ice into 5-gallon jugs of passionfruit and horchata de coco juice.<\/p>\n Standing in his Mexico national team soccer jersey, Hernandez, 21, sips water between customers. He says he\u2019s grateful, even if he\u2019d rather be studying for a bachelor\u2019s degree in criminal justice than lording over a cash register. He was trying to enroll at Broward College to \u201cbecome a lawyer or a detective\u201d when the taqueria blew up, but now he\u2019s torn.<\/p>\n Mike Stocker\/South Florida Sun Sentinel<\/p>\n Menu signs are mounted at the Rinc\u00f3n Del Taco pavilion in Davie. (Mike Stocker\/South Florida Sun Sentinel)<\/p>\n \u201cConsidering how busy I am, I guess I can do classes at night,\u201d he says. \u201cMy parents say they\u2019ll give me the time,\u00a0but the family business is important to them.\u201d<\/p>\n Lizet Hernandez was a street taco vendor in Puebla, Mexico, where her brothers and sisters owned restaurants. Her husband, Isel, a cook originally from Chiapas, experimented with salsas and juices, working in restaurants throughout the country, she says through a translator.<\/p>\n After emigrating to South Florida, a friend set up their Rinc\u00f3n del Taco as a vendor in Wynwood until 2023, when they moved to Pembroke Pines. Their taco corner is a continuation of how they made ends meet in Mexico, Lizet Hernandez says: Making street tacos, sauces and juices from scratch wherever they can.<\/p>\n \u201cMost taquerias here don\u2019t do homemade, but homemade is how it works in Mexico,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Mike Stocker\/South Florida Sun Sentinel)<\/p>\n Rinc\u00f3n Del Taco is one of several food vendors on the Family Farms property in Davie, which also offers tractor rides, a strawberry farm and an evening bonfire as part of the experience. (Mike Stocker\/South Florida Sun Sentinel)<\/p>\n Mauricio Garzon is usually loathe to believe what influencers hype on social media, and almost stepped out of line \u2014 twice \u2014 to check out other food vendors at Family Farms. On this Saturday, none had lines \u2014 just Rinc\u00f3n del Taco.<\/p>\n Garzon, along with his wife and daughter, stuck with it and feasted.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s taco shops everywhere,\u201d he said, biting into an al pastor quesadilla. \u201cBut here? It\u2019s delicious. And we\u2019re surrounded by animals and crops and nature. You can\u2019t beat that.\u201d<\/p>\n By 8 p.m., the last taco plate went out as a bonfire roared to life on the farm. Diners sat at picnic tables, licking salsa off their fingers. Others covered tacos with napkins and trekked back to their car, dodging chickens along the way.<\/p>\n Rinc\u00f3n del Taco, a taqueria pop-up, is open from 4 to 9 p.m. Thursdays as part of The Night Market at Pembroke Lakes Mall, 11401 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines<\/a>, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays through Sundays at Family Farms, 14950 SW 14th St., Davie<\/a>.
