Living on the beach for 3 years, this spot is a hidden gem if you don't know about it. The ambience after a long beach walk brings you relaxation and calmness. Taquiza is nothing short of spectacular when it comes to their authentic blue corn tortillas. Coming from a hospitality family, Tyrese who was on his first day of training made sure our table and every guest interaction with tables around were satisfied and full. Asking about recommendations, he was able to explain the flavor palates provided with tacos and drinks. Though $5 a piece for tacos, seems a little steep this is like a reasonable Miami price considering others are about $8 for one in other places. We tried the crispy fish, al pastor, carnitas and Arrecha tacos. They were spectacular, and the guacamole with totopos thick crispy but fluffy blue corn chips. We even ordered a dozen blue corn tortillas to take home for $9. I think this is amazing price considering their authenticity. We even had their horchata and I loved it bringing me back to my childhood days. Give Taquiza a try, though some reviews here are not 5 star satisfied, I promise you won't be disappointed trying this place out at least one it twice whether you're a tourist or a regular. They are also pet friendly! A big win for the Beach community! read more

Taquiza Tacos - Seating area - Tacos Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Came here for tacos and overall had a good experience, just a few things to note. The vibe was really nice. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day, which definitely made the experience better. That said, it's not beachfront, and there's construction going on right where the outdoor seating faces. Finding the restaurant was honestly a bit of a mission because we had to go around all of that. We did get seated right away, which was great. From what I could tell, there was only one server handling everything, so she was clearly busy and service was a bit slow. Food wise, it was really good. The carne asada tacos were flavorful and well done, and the guac stood out too. Their chips are house made and thicker than usual, which is different but still good. Overall, I'd come back. Good food, nice vibe, just be prepared for a slower service depending on how busy it is. read more

We are from Arizona. My wife, kid, I were excited to try the tacos here. We ordered the queso, which came with blue masa like thicker tortilla chips (menu said yellow corn chips.. no biggie). My kid ordered three carne asada tacos (when receipt came said arrachera) the meat was very chewy and was black. The blue corn tortilla felt like it was pulled straight out of the bag and thrown on the plate cold then topped with the "arrachera". My wife and I each ordered a quesadilla, which had a weird reheated feel to it. The waiter was nice but definitely had to chase him down to pay the bill. I was in disbelief that this restaurant has a Michelin star. I do see that ownership has changed in the recent months. So that makes some sense. I ordered a carta blanca beer, wife a margarita, and kid a Mexican coke. Total bill for two quesadillas, order of queso, three carne asada tacos, a beer, margarita, and coke....88$. That was insane. read more

I love Taquiza Somehow overnight this place became a mess and it takes 45 mins to get a drink or food There is no chain of service, all chaos The employees that work here do everything with no support Time to hire more people please Whoever took over and blanched the place white and stripped the restaurant of its employees is highly mistaken Too much traffic to not have your system down Food is great and drinks are fine But not worth the wait and the stress Someone should fix this please Bring back what we locals remember read more

Taquiza is a must if you're craving really good tacos and fresh flavors. The guac is delicious, and the chips they bring out with the tacos are different, more like a pita-style chip but even better, which makes the whole experience stand out. The margaritas are great, the service is friendly, and everything feels fresh and flavorful. Definitely a spot I'd go back to for tacos and drinks. read more

The best tacos and margaritas in Miami hands down. Service is quick and fairly friendly. We tried one of each of the tacos, and it was happy hour so it was bogo! The meat was so tender, toppings and salsas homemade and fresh, and double layered tortillas. Then moving on to the margaritas- wow. The hibiscus color alone is so beautiful and the taste is so refreshing and subtly sweet. The spicy marg has the perfect amount of spice. Also nice to take a roadie to the beach on the other side of the path! A must hit while in Miami. read more

When they finish the boardwalk/beach walk construction in front of Taquiza, this will be a very easy five star review! I came by with my friend Vancy for part one of Cinco de Mayo. Full disclosure, I walked by here a couple of times before while the full moon party or just catching a tan in this part of the beach, but I've never walked in. Being Cinco de Mayo, we were greeted with three varieties of tequila shots, which were smooth enough to set the mood for the night's imbibing. As far as bites, I enjoyed both their very loaded chicken and al pastor tacos. Served in a blue corn tortilla, the street tacos are full of delicious protein. The pineapple ones have actual piece of pineapple with it sweetly tangy flavor. They were also served with thimble sized salsa that's just "wow" in terms of heat. There may or may not have been another margarita or two involved on occasion of the holiday. We were amongst some of the partygoers who we were given shot glasses. In addition to that, the waitresses were really friendly. read more

As a Mexican, I was disappointed every time I tried this place out. Michelada has a 1/10 authentic flavor. Tajin replacement is a cinnamon forward bland seasoning with no understanding of the origin. Beans lack the essential flavor. Tacos were either dry or greasy. Service was horrendous. Silent when I went in and the whole room was filled by the trash talking of the staff. I know the story well of the owner and respected it until I experienced it. read more

I came here when it was located on Collins Avenue. I had no idea they moved. I also brought my cat with me so they're definitely pet friendly. I tried their Blue corn squash blossom quesadillas and they were VERY VERY GOOD!!!!! My goodness SUPER TO DIE FOR DELISH! The taste of the cheese was just very unique and tasted like genuine old fashioned aged cheese. As you can see in the picture it also came with delicious dry, crunchy beets. This place is so amazing and I definitely want to come back. The food here is SOOOO GOOD. Not too pricey either!! You DEFINITELY need to try this hot spot!!!! read more

Had so much celebrating cinco de mayo! I'm from Dallas originally and have always went out to enjoy the festivities on this day! We had delicious margaritas and tacos! Love that you like the meat on the tacos, so good! The fresh tortillas are an added bonus. We had chicken, barbocao, and al pastor tacos. The service is always great and the manager came by with the cutest shot glasses as a surprise. Loved it. Love the view and breeze of the beach as you dine and chill in the outside area! read more

The totopos made out of blue corn are fantastic. They were thicker than others i've tasted, and not oily (though they are housemade). The quesadilla is a little much for me, as it feels to be double deep fried and double cheese, but tasty if you're into that. The tacos are fantastic. I know chicken isnt a popular choice, but the chicken is fabulously marinated and my favorite taco I tried. Restaurant is on the beach, which gives it an amazing feel, though there is currently construction going on, hopefully not for long! read more

This will be short and simple -- their totopos are the best and most unique chips I've ever had. Crispy on the outside but a soft pillow on the inside. Still dreaming about them. Tacos are solid. Guac is exactly what you want. Margaritas are delicious. Come for the totopos 1000% read more

5 min for anyone to show up behind the counter. Negative energy individual. Ordered 2 tacos, 2 strawberry margaritas and chips salsa. Taco order was wrong and she forgot to ring in chips and salsa which we asked for 3x. Auto grat has ruined the world. I know why this employee puts zero effort into her job. We finally got chips and salsa 15 min after we finished the corrected tacos (which were mid at best). Was hoping for a lot more. Skip it. read more

Finally got to Taquiza after wanting to try it for so long! Between COVID and the current construction, it's a miracle Taquiza is still in business. I suppose that is a testament to how truly amazing their tacos are! Taquiza sits right on the beach path in North Miami Beach (currently under construction as I mentioned above). Because of the construction, the view of the beach is blocked, so the current ambiance is a bit ehhhh but under normal circumstances it's quite lovely. They sell traditional style street tacos by the single taco, which makes it easy to try a bunch. I ordered the Al Pastor (pork), Barbacoa (beef), Pollo (chicken), and Shrimp. I tried about half of each taco, and would say 3-4 tacos per person would be a good serving size for a meal. In addition to the staple taco flavors, they also have more adventurous options, like Chapolines (toasted grasshoppers!) and Lengua (beef tongue). They do have drinks there as well - the margaritas look fantastic - and I believe they have happy hour specials on the drinks. I got the tacos to go, but they do have tables you can sit down at. You'll order your food and drinks up at the counter, and then once your food is ready they'll bring it out to you. The price per taco ranges from $4.50-$7, and the Mexican beers are only $5. Super reasonable pricing for a delicious, casual lunch by the beach! read more

I came to order take out. I was in a rush with kids. I asked how long it will take and they said about 10 minutes. I ordered a drink and it took over 40!!! Minutes to get my order. I wanted to get another drink but the waitress kept walking past me multiple times! I paid and left immediately. When i got home i discovered that half of the order was missing! This is unacceptable! read more

Some of the best tacos I've ever had. I visit North Beach once every two years, and this place is my first stop. The City of Miami needs to finish the construction around that area. That fence has been up for two years now! read more

We stopped in on a Friday around 6 and ordered 2 pitchers, which were on happy hour (until 7pm). We got 1 classic and 1 passion fruit. The classic was better in our opinion but as expected, both were heavy on the lime so If you have acid reflux--beware. The Totopas with guac and all the tacos we had were amazing! The food came out super fresh and quickly and the spicy green sauce they serve on the side was flavorful and had a bit of a kick. My absolute favorites were the fried fish taco and the Totopas! The chips are chewy and definitely fresh. Also not pictured are the churros which were also great! We devoured them too quickly for me to get a picture read more

AMAZING is an understatement. We has Totopas with queso, bean, guacamole and salsa dip--the guac was my favorite. The Totopas though are amazing on their own. The taste is unlike any other. We had a variety of tacos from mushroom, mahi, brisket, chicken and asada--the mahi then the mushroom were my fav. For drinks we had the mezcal, spicy and sangria pitchers. The spicy was my favorite. The churros and Mexican chocolate were good as well and the bean squash quesadilla was also amazing. Parking is available for a fee. There is outdoor seating. Orders must be placed inside of the restaurant and paid for before distribution. When the order is ready it is brought out to your table as you are provided with a number after you purchase the food/drink. I have a new reason to frequent south beach--the food is super good. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect here, but I had to try it. Let's start with the seating and process. There could/should be more seating. When I walked in I just grabbed a seat and waited, but then saw other people had order numbers so I went inside to order, which caused me to lose my seat. The happy hour price was a bit disappointing. I ordered one taco, a margarita, and chips/queso. The total was $28 on happy hour! This price is probably due to the fact only the margarita was on happy hour. Happy hour is m-f from 4-7. The chips (totopos) and queso was $13 and to be honest, those chips SUCK. They are super thick and chewy inside. The queso was good though. I completely wasted $10 plus tip on the chips. And yes, I'm still mad about it. The margarita was decent but pre-made...I know I'm annoying but I want a fresh drink. Luckily that actually was on happy hour. The food only took 10 minutes to come out. The asada (steak) taco was great! I'd definitely order that again and I regret not ordering more. I did some digging before coming and it was hard to find out what was on happy hour and basically it's the pre-made drinks. The service was decent given the fact I didn't have an actual server. I would have loved a bar. You have a nice view of a parking lot and palm trees, if you sit outside. There are a couple tables inside, but it seems a little lack luster inside. There were plenty of tourists here. I doubt I'll return unless I'm craving a steak taco. I went a few blocks away to el rancho grande and had a real read more

My boyfriend and I are here from Cleveland. We decided to try something more local to where we are staying and OMG were we in for a TREAT. The CHIPS were absolutely PHENOMENAL. They were thick and crispy but soft on the inside. I have never had anything like it! The tacos were perfectly made and so flavorful. The ambiance was quiet and quaint. Curtis the server/bartender was AMAZING. He was so friendly, gave us great recommendations and was very informative of the menu items. We're only here for 6 days but will definitely go back at least one more time for the food and service here!! Loved it! read more

Ok, so Taquiza's prices are still really high. But those flavors tho! Their drinks are tasty, the tacos are so good, and I love their blue corn tortillas and totopos with guacamole. Service is still kinda spotty. There's currently construction on Ocean Terrace, so the street's all torn up and fenced off. But, still a solid spot for beach nibbles. read more

I usually dont give 5 stars on first visit, but this place deserved it (on next visit will update accordingly). This place has amazing food, and cool beach vibe. The blue corn masa is very tasty and they way they make chips out of them is truly unique. Overall, we tried a variety of tacos, elote, chips and we were impressed with the food quality. Everything was so fresh. The restaurant is in a unique spot in Miami Beach, and there is construction going on right now on the street between the property and the beach. There is a parking lot just north of the restaurant/hotel, so there is easy parking, but it can be hard to find if you are not familiar with the area. Definitely go check this place out. read more

10/10 Was enjoying a late night bike ride when we rolled up on this joint. The entire meal cost about $100. We splurged. Went back a few nights later and only spent $65. Churros - best I've ever had Carne asada - spicy, but cooked perfectly Carnitas - juicy and probably my favorite Shrimp - a little on the spicier side Mahi-mahi - crispy and hearty. Very filling. Totoro's "Chips" - they're a thicker tortilla chip and pair well with the queso or guac. I usually don't go for queso, but this queso is super good. Margs - they're actually making the margs to order and offer the option of spicy Just an all around quaint spot with fresh and filling food read more

I love this place! My friends introduced me to this spot and I absolutely love it. The totopos are next level. You HAVEEE to get them you cannot leave without trying them! I also really love the mahi taco. You get a very large piece of fish and in my experience it's always been hot and freshly fried to perfection. The Al pastor is pretty good but I don't think they cook it on a trompo and only give one piece of pineapple so it's not my absolute favorite, but still really good. The vibe here is good, you order at the counter and get your food to your table quickly. If it's a nice day you can see the ocean and feel the breeze right there too! Love it here! read more

No two way about it, Taquiza is expensive. They stone-ground daily using USDA organic & non-gmo blue corn, and hand press the tortillas, so you can't really compare them to Mexican places that get a big bag of mass-produced tortilla for less than a dollar a pound. For me, that's worth paying extra for. Most of the tacos are around $5 each, so about $1 or 2 more than average. They do offer a nice variety of tacos beyond the most common ones of pollo, carnitas, etc. There are mahi, shrimp, a couple of veg options, and if you are adventurous, lengua (beef tongue) and if you are really, really adventurous, grasshoppers! On a nice day it's great eating outside, just off the beach with the palm trees and blue sky. While I don't mind paying premium for fresh, organic blue corn tortilla, I don't like their automatic 15% tipping (with a line asking you "would you like to give additional tips?" on the machine) and charging $1 for a plastic cup of water. It's just ordering at the counter and them bringing it to the table. Please give your employees a decent wage instead of making customers pay for it. read more

Of the few places we tried during our short stay in North Beach, this was our favorite. Strategically located really close to the beach, Taquiza is the perfect spot to grab a tasty bite after a wonderful day at the beach. Everything we tried was excellent: From the Totopos (blue corn masa chips) to the Mahi taco; from the Barbacoa taco to the Lengua taco; from the Camarones taco to the Carnitas taco. The Quesadilla was equally super-tasty, and they have a wide variety of Margarita flavors, all also available as frozen. What's there not to love?! Only thing I didn't like: they close really early on weekdays. As most people come here after the beach at around 7pm, everyone is in a rush to order and eat before they close, and lines can be long. Open Everyday 12pm - 9pm (10pm on Friday & Saturday) read more

This is not the first time I had been here, but I remembered how good it was and decided to treat my best friend for the first time. Nothing beats the Totopos with guac and pico. They are so crunchy, yet so soft. One of the few (if not the only place) in Miami that probably sells these blue corn chips. The tacos are just as good! Its location is also so conveniently by the beach, making the perfect post-beach lunch/dinner.The service is fast! The location is a tad bit small, but has a decent amount of outdoor seating. read more
