    Chicken Teriyaki Taco
    Adia A.

    Outstanding/friendly/accomodating service 24/7, strong drinks, beautiful atmosphere (EDM/latin music) Been here a few times now and always enjoy myself! Great chips and fresh food. One thing I watch out for.. overall the salsa was 7/10 and guacamole had a salt issue (that was fixed!). The green was overly vinegary, red tasted like marinara but the pico de gallo was good... We ate the salsa but had to send back the guac, our server was so friendly and quickly brought out a less salty version and checked up on us!! So friendly and a great way to accommodate our concerns!! I think good salsas are must haves for a latin restaurant so while I love everything else... that has room for improvement.

    Came here for some after dinner drinks and this place was full of life! Obsessed with the bar seating that connects inside and outside so you can sit outside and people watch and enjoy the Miami warmth or sit in the same bar inside and people watch as you have a good time. We ordered the Mezcal Negroni and Guava-Habanerox. LOVED the blend of the guava and spicy habanero. I had mine tweaked to be a bit more spicy - it was perfect! They had live music, the place was alive and what's even crazier is that they're open24 hours! So you can go from night to day or day to night quickly. Can't wait to try their food next time but for sure a great and lively spot to grab some drinks.

    Yummy Mexican food with a fun ambiance! Good happy hour food and drink deals. Everything we had was great and service was quick.

    For all the years, or in my case decades I have been hitting up Miami I have passed by Azteca many times but had never went in. However, my most recent visit to Miami back in October I finally went. Had a Pina Colada which was fairly good, (coulda used a bit more rum though) but still enjoyed it nonetheless. The service here is pretty good and dope vibe with the heart of South Beach. A recommend if you are just walking the strip of Collins Ave or for night cap date night.

    Somewhat pricy but expected from a restaurant in South Beach. I enjoyed the huevos rancheros. It was accompanied by a side of cheese and beans. The over easy eggs were cooked well. Salsa was decent and wish it had more flavor or spiciness to it.

    Carne Asada (Steak) Taco
    Nicole L.

    Really nice ambiance! Love the greenery and cherry blossom tree on the inside of the restaurant. The bar set up with the bar stools on the side street looks cool and makes for such a vibe in the evenings. Chips and guac were a hit, so were the shrimp fajitas. The azteca salad was nice and refreshing. I didn't like the carne asada personally because the meat just felt off and didn't have the flavor I was hoping for. We got a flight of tequila and I regret that because it cost 60 dollars for 3 tequila shots, soooo not worth it. My mistake I didn't see the price. All in all nice restaurant to try if you're in the area.

    Mixed review... but I'll try to be fair. The food was ok. We had the Carne Asada plate. The meat was tasty, the black beans also, but the rice was not in the least close to being real Mexican style rice. The price was high considering the portions and they don't even offer a courtesy side of corn chips and salsa as most Mexican restaurants do.I know it's South Beach, but on top of that they added a 10 dollar service fee for a table of 2, plus a 20% tip. I would definitely recommend eating somewhere else. Our meal was not worth $87

    We came here for late night drinks. It looked fun from the outside with the open window bar looking inside. The decor was funky and fun. We sat at the inside bar and ordered Margaritas. There were several flavor options to choose from and I got the Passion Fruit while my partner got the 50/50. The drinks were strong and really good. Good service and vibes here!

    Beautiful restaurant close to the beach. The theme is like a modern but tropical theme. They hostess were super nice and informative. Great vybes from the moment you walk in. For the food lots of options. We went with the taco trio and the birria quesadilla. The prices were well prices all within 18-26$ for those options. The taco trio, you get to pick 3 tacos, which is a great option if you want to try many kinds. The normal tacos come with 2. But all taco entree (meal) come with rice and beans with pica de gallo. The hostess did recommend any thing with birria is delicious and he was not wrong. That birria quesodilla was one of the best ones I ever had. Everything was freshly made and you can taste all the freshness. The quesodilla does come with guacamole, Pico and sour cream. I did ask for a hot salsa sauce, which was a additional 2$ but it was definitely the spicy hotsauce I was looking for, well worth it if you like spice. They did have regular hot sauce for free. Overall, waitress and everyone was so kind. Live music starts at 8 pm, great vybes, very relaxing. A place to bring your friends for a good time!

    Drink: Mango Margarita was nice! Food: 3 tacos-- birria; shrimp; polpo (octopus). Ambience was nice to sit outside, though you can also sit inside as well. The servers were very friendly. I was looking at what to get in the server offered to just make something for me so I accepted. He made me a mango margarita, which was quite nice. I highly recommend sitting at the outdoor bar. My only two complaints: he didn't even ask what my flavor profile was; I actually would've preferred something smoky and sweet. The mango margarita was good, though. Other Complaint: we had been chatting, and both servers knew I was a tourist visiting in from out of town. When the bill came, it was a bit higher than expected, but I figured it was due to a tourist tax of some kind. It wasn't until the next day, when a friend informed me that gratuity is often included in Miami Beach, that I figured out why it had been so pricey. Didn't appreciate that. I understand that mistakes happen, so I'll only dock one star.

    We went a second time to try breakfast but were told they changed their menu and no longer offer breakfast or at least not noon or later.

    Band
    Becky Y.

    There was a 45 minute wait to get a table inside, but once we were seated it was smooth sailing! We were seated with a perfect view to the band who were great! They had a wide variety of music, from Enrique Iglesias to Weezer, we enjoyed listening to them! The food was also pretty good, we got the carnitas enchiladas and birria tacos with the watermelon-jalapeño margarita and blood orange margarita. The enchiladas took the cake, that was really tasty! But the birria tacos were disappointing. They were soggy and floppy when they were immediately brought out. But we both enjoyed our margaritas!

Down the street from Stubborn Seed and around the corner from Carbone, you'll find a cocktail bar mid-block that is so understated it will actually pique your curiosity. Is this place open? What's in there? What's up with that name? Yes, it's open - and very late! Inside, you will find a wide variety of cocktails and a smoky coolness waiting. And the name? Dang! - I forgot to ask. Homework for my next visit. Following an early dinner, the lady and I enjoyed a couple of drinks around 8:30. We were the only ones in the place, which still felt cozy. Learned a lot about the group that owns this spot from our friendly bartenders. Drinks were good, the playlist matched the loungey vibe, and the prices were in line with what you'd expect (gratuity included). Overall, a nice early nightcap. We did pop our head in last year around 10:00 p.m., and the place was ramping up. I've no doubt it's a great scene the later you get.

You know how some restaurants blast music so loud you end up yelling at the table? Not here. The music was at the perfect level where we could actually talk and enjoy each other.

Not a single miss. The drinks though? 100 out of 10. Dangerous in the best way. Our waitress, I wish I remembered her name, was incredible.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated inside at the back wall in a booth. There was another couple to our left and one or two others across the room at other tables. The couple in the corner who was seat next to us proceeded to talk extremely loud and had several FaceTime calls with their children as if they were in a private location and not a restaurant. Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.

The atmosphere is unmatched, the food was incredible, and every space has its own perfect vibe while still feeling cohesive and luxurious. What really made it stand out though was the service. The manager personally checked on us multiple times to make sure we were fully taken care of, which made us feel so valued as guests.
