Taco Spot Taquiza to Reopen on South Beach

When Steve Santana opened his taqueria dubbed Taquiza on Collins Avenue in 2014 he put Miami at the forefront of a new era of Mexican cuisine in the American mainstream. While those who hail from Central and South America had long known of, and enjoyed, the delights of tortillas pressed from freshly made corn dough, Santana and a handful of chefs around the country introduced the ancient technique of nixtamalization, through which dried corn is turned into soft dough, to the greater public.
