Their homemade thick tortilla chips, fresh salsa and guacamole was the star of the meal! We also loved the fish tacos. I enjoyed a blended prickly pear margarita too. Highly recommend!! There is construction of large park right in front of the restaurant so not pleasant view. Once that is finished it will likely be hard to find a spot to sit here.

1.18.25 We stopped in for margaritas and tacos as a quick bite. This is such a cute and casual place with indoor and outdoor seating. While we were here, it was under construction, so we could not access it from the beach. The tacos taste and look amazing. It's that "eat with your eyes" thing. And the margaritas with a spicy rim are just perfection.

If you’re in Miami and craving authentic Mexican flavors, Taquiza is an absolute must-visit. This spot is all about fresh, handmade tortillas, and you can taste the difference in every bite. The dedication to quality ingredients and traditional techniques sets them apart, making it one of the best taquerias around. A must-order item? The totopos. These aren’t your average chips—they’re handmade, torn tortillas deep-fried to crispy, salty perfection. Pair them with the queso, and you’ve got a seriously addictive appetizer. Don’t skip this—it’s unreal! When it comes to the main dishes, the quesadillas are incredible, but be warned—they’re huge! If you’re planning to try multiple dishes, be mindful of portion sizes. The tacos are another highlight, and we made sure to try them all. While each had its own unique appeal, our top pick was the Mahi Mahi—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Another must-try? The Elotes. Taquiza’s take on Mexican street corn is absolutely delicious—charred, coated in creamy, tangy goodness, and packed with flavor. It’s the perfect side to complement any dish. Overall, Taquiza delivers on every level—fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and an authentic experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a feast, this place is a winner. Just come hungry and be ready to indulge in some of the best Mexican food in town!

We absolutely loved the tacos! So much that we came back the next day for more. I think it was $5-$6 dollars per taco but totally worth it. The meat is marinated well, meat was tender, and the tortillas were great! The sauces were also really good. The green sauce was pretty spicy, but had a super good flavor. The churros were also super yummy. We had low expectations and honestly expected amusement park level churros, BUT they were totally next level. The texture was perfect and the chocolate sauce was so good I could have licked the cup clean.

If you only ate chips and salsa this place is five stars. The blue corn tortilla chips are amazing. But every taco was also cooked and sauced to perfection. The fish tacos are the star because the fish is perfectly flaky and the batter is like eating flavorful fry bread. Make sure you give it all a try.

It’s a bit hard to find at the moment, because the area is under construction but well worth looking. Forget everything you know about tortilla chips… because Taquiza in North Beach just redefined them! The Totopos are somewhere between a corn pancake and a crêpe but in tortilla format, fried to crispy perfection on the outside while staying soft and gooey inside. Absolute heaven in every bite. And let’s talk about the quesadilla—a masterpiece in itself. One “shell” was made with squash and cheese, fried like a crunchy tortilla, while the other was a soft, rich blend of Cotija, beans, and bold vegetarian flavors. The sangria was also heavenly. If you love authentic, elevated Mexican food, this is your spot.

This is such a hidden gem. I was lucky enough to experience this each of the two days while I was in town (take out and dine in). The staff were extremely friendly and made everyone feel so welcome. My friend, who is dairy free and gluten-free, had so many options, which was incredible. The food was spectacular, with my highlight being the Mahi Tacos. I am still dreaming about them a week later. I wish I was in town longer so I could have eaten their entire menu. If you're in Miami Beach, this is a must eat!

10/10 experience! The grouper taco was delicious & freshly fried so it melts in your mouth. The hibiscus mule with Tito’s was also amazing! Everyone who works here, Tammy, Alex & Curtis are awesome. I will be coming here in the near future to try their other tacos
