Former President Barack Obama refueled with some tacos Friday after his rally in Miami.
Shrieks of joy could be heard in videos on social media when people spotted the 44th president at Coyo Taco in the Wynwood district of the city.
Obama, who was joined by Sen. Bill Nelson and Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum after their rally, doled out hugs, posed for photos, and encouraged people to vote.

Earlier in the day, Obama was heckled several times during the rally to help Democrats and said the heckling shows Republicans are already angry about losing ground in next week’s midterm elections.
Obama shouted over the noise to tell people to vote for the Democratic ticket next week or face “dangerous” consequences from Republicans in Congress and the White House. In an indirect rebuke of President Trump, Obama told the crowd that “the character of our country is on the ballot” and denounced Trump several times without naming him.
