Taquiza

South Beach


Taquiza has acquired a stellar reputation among Miami's street-food lovers. The takeout stand with a few outdoor tables serves delicious perfection in its steak, pork, shrimp or veggie tacos (but no fish options) served on handmade blue-corn tortillas. They're small, so order a few.

For something a little different, throw in an order of chapulines (grasshoppers). It also serves craft beers.
