Taqueria 5 Hermanos is a food truck operation in Homestead's Redlands area, set up under a tent with picnic tables and shaded outdoor seating. It has operated at the same spot for more than a decade, building a steady local following.
The menu runs through Mexican staples: tacos filled with al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, and buche, plus quesadillas de pastor and de asada, burritos, enchiladas de carnitas, and bistec encebollado. It's a tight, focused lineup rather than a sprawling one.
The things worth asking about aren't printed on the board. Cachete tacos — slow-cooked beef cheek piled with raw onion and cilantro — and lengua tacos are available off-menu, and staff can confirm what's running on a given day.
