    Breakfast Menu
    Brooke M.

    Stopped in at their coffee house for a latte. They do not have oatmilk but do have almond and soy. Their soy latte was good! Breakfast menu looked good as well. I will have to update my review when we return for breakfast or lunch during our visit.

    Cuban Coffee
    Anthony G.

    Allison's Bar is the bar/restaurant located inside the Hilton Cabana Miami Beach. This was the hotel i was staying at, and I found myself in it a few times during my stay. The first time was one morning, my family and I were dead tired, and we needed some caffeine. We were pleased to find out that they made Cuban coffee and we ordered some. It was well made, but the price... was ridiculously high. $22 dollars for three little cups of Cuban coffee! Yeah this is way overpriced. Which is weird, their food is reasonably priced, and their drinks are expensive yes, but well within the price you find in any bar in Miami or Miami Beach. $22 dollars for Cuban Coffee though, that really was way too much! The inside of Allison's bar is nothing special. It looks like any hotel restaurant anywhere in the country, it's the bar/outside area that is wonderful. Lots of color, positively vibrant. The bar looks beautiful, especially at night with all the lights and colors. It also has a magnificent view of both the hotel pool and the beach. I hung out here for a bit with my bestie Apple S., when we spent one of the days together. It was wonderful to sit, chat and enjoy the company of my best friend, while enjoying the seabreeze as well. I also had drinks on a different occasion. The bar service was good, and the drinks were made well. Pretty much my only gripe was the insanely high cost for the Cuban Coffee. I just refused to pay that much again, if not I would have ordered much more of that!

    Mango daiquiri
    Diana H.

    Service was adequate and the atmosphere fun and bright. The empanada were absolutely spot on made with masa instead of flour with a pulled pork and potato filling and salsa and Chipotle aioli on the side. We ordered a mango daiquiri that went perfect with our happy. Loved our quick pre-music fest visit!

    Food is average, service is okay, but prices are a bit high. The outdoor setting is pretty nice.

    I know there are 47 reviews already posted, however I just had to post my overall opinion…read more I cannot tell you how I find this place every time I go, I just do. I usually find it after midnight. I always find parking right in-front of the business which means street parking is easily accessible, and feesabile. . This is one of those trendier dive bars. There is a jukebox; and if you're smart; you can download the "Touchtones" app, connect it to their jukebox; buy credits and totally dominate the jukebox the whole night, with stupid Whitney songs and Ariana Grande songs, and no one can stop you, and, no one can do anything about it, and you can sit at the end of the bar amused. Or, you can just randomly jam out because your song came on. There's a pool table as well,. Sometimes there's an angry loud big breasted local dominating the table who doesn't want any competition playing, (oh well). The bathrooms are cleaner than most of the other dive bars I have crawled into. I have met the owner, hes a tall Russian guy, and I have met 2 of the many bar ladies; their names are; Tefanie and Marcia. Everyone is friendly. The drinks are cheap, however; they have a $10 minimum for Debit or Credit cards. Overall if you can find this place then you should give it a go if you're in the area.

    No food here but lots of fun! Cellini is the best bartender, she makes the best drinks. Great…read moreprices and every Friday there is karaoke until 2am. It's the perfect hole in the wall bar. Very low key yet a great atmosphere to grab drinks & play jenga or poker.

They bill themselves as a sports bar, and maybe that is more the case if you sit inside. We opted to sit out on the sidewalk / patio in front. The inside appeared to be fairly large, so that might be better dining option overall. The 10 or 12 tables they have outside are okay - there is an awning to provide shade and when we visited it was in the evening so heat / sun wasn't a huge issue. However, it got pretty windy outside while we were there. Also, you are technically on the sidewalk, so pedestrians, cyclists, and electric scooter riders zip in between the two rows of tables. None of this was a huge issue, but if you want to have more control over your dining environment, inside might be a better choice. The menu provided quite a variety - sandwiches, a bit of pasta, fish, meat, salads, etc. I think any party would have a good chance of satisfying everyone. My wife opted for fish and I got a burger. We both enjoyed our food and had leftovers as well (which ended up being part of the next night's dinner). They also had a full bar; the drink pricing seemed pretty good given the standards of this area. If you are just looking for a standard (or slightly better) American bar food dinner, this is a solid choice.

    I first went to Taquiza over a decade ago when it was located at 15th & Collins; at the time, I…read morefelt that the tacos were too small and way overpriced, but I liked the blue corn homemade tortillas and the pastor and asado were perfectly cooked. Then, they moved to the Broadmore Hotel, quite possibly the worst hotel on Miami Beach. I stayed there once, only once, and still question why anyone would stay there, much less eat there. Therefore, I never ate at that location. Last week, I read that Taquiza was relocating due to that crappy hotel being torn down for some new overpriced condo hotel. It said that it was moving into its own tortilla factory in the NE 2nd corridor. Since this is near our home, I made a mental note of it. This area has one of the best taco shops in all of Miami, La Santa, so there is some stiff competition. Nonetheless, I convinced my wife to go grab a couple of tacos before heading home. We got there, no one was waiting, so we were able to order immediately. We asked was the most popoular items were and they said the crispy fish tacos and pastor. We decided to order the asado and carnitas along with the esquites. We were told that we should wait outside while they assemble it. We did. It took forever. I decided to go next door for a beer from Off Site/No Seasons while we waited...for over a half an hour. Way, way too long for tacos. When the order came, though, it was packaged extremely nicely. The tacos are small, very small, even for street tacos. My wife is Mexican, so when she says this, then you know they are on the small size. The asado meat was juicy and tender and perfect. The carnitas meat was cooked nicely but had the overpowering (and unnecessary) flavor of cardamom; carnitas should not have this flavor. In addition to the meats, the lovely blue corn tortillas of old were non-existant, replaced with what seemed to be day-old crunchy and curled corn tortillas. These were definitely not fresh, which was extremely weird given the time that it took to make. The onions and cilantro were nicely packaged up for us, even if the onions were a little larger chopped than traditional. The limes were super dry without any juice. Ugh, the misses just kept coming... Finally, the esquites portion was large, perfectly cooked with a little bit of char on most of the kernels. This looked delicious. But, it wasn't. There was no seasoning. No Tajin. No pepper. Not even salt. Just bland kernels. It did have a little cotija cheese, but ever so slightly, not enough to alter the flavor. We had asked for sour cream, but none was included in our take away bag. While we ate the tacos in the car, we made the decision to bring the corn home and add to it lime juice, more cotija, sour cream, Tajin, and salt. It ended up tasting quite nice, but it should have been presented that way when we purchased it. I guess, after this experience trying to help out a local company, I'll wait another decade to try it again. You know sometimes, you just want a place to be great, but it just isn't. For me, I have no clue how this place made it into the MICHELIN Guide; what you see in the Guide is not what you get. If you want good tacos in that neighborhood, go across the street to La Santa. You can thank me later.
