Founded by web developer-turned-chef Steve Santana in Miami Beach in 2014, Taquiza is a traditional Mexican taquerĂa crafting authentic tacos and traditional Mexican street fare using only the highest quality available ingredients. Their signature blue masa is made with organic, non-GMO blue corn sourced from small, independent farms throughout the Midwest. It’s nixtamalized, stone-ground, and pressed into tortillas and totopos by hand, in-house, daily.
All of Taquiza’s offerings are simple, approachable, and deeply rooted in Mexican culinary traditions, and made with traditional techniques, ingredients, and recipes. From beer-braised brisket barbacoa to slow-cooked Duroc pork carnitas with hints of cinnamon and orange to freshly fried churros & chocolate, Taquiza is the real deal. It was also famously featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives!”
