Some restrictions applyTaquiza’s signature totopos may be even more famous than its tacos! It all starts with organic blue corn planted in the spring and harvested in the fall at small, independent Midwestern farms. After being nixtamalized and stone-ground, the fresh masa is then hand-pressed and torn gently into hot oil, creating a unique corn chip that’s soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. You’ll be making these chips yourself from fresh masa with an included tortilla press; don’t forget to dip them into the included house-made guacamole, fresh salsa, frijoles, and creamy queso!
Founded by Steve Santana in Miami Beach in 2014, Taquiza is a traditional Mexican taquería 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. All of Taquiza’s offerings are made with traditional techniques, ingredients, and recipes. It was also famously featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives!”
