Another reason to head north this season: the newly opened Taquiza North Beach, Chef Steve Santana’s second Mexican taqueria, which joins his original South Beach outpost. The historic Art Deco space, located inside the newly-renovated Broadmoor Miami Beach, features an impressive 25-seat bar lined with reclaimed wood, with a custom 28-foot concrete bar top, plus a patio.
Enjoy the beachside/streetside scene, while you sip on glass-bottled Mexican sodas, a rotating craft beer selection, house-made sangrias, wine, and an all-new Michelada (using their own spicy house mix).
Better yet, pair Taquiza North Beach’s authentic tacos and street fare with these six hand-crafted cocktails developed by Bar Manager Nikos Mantzaridis:
