Bodega Taqueria y Tequila

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is a South Beach taqueria and hidden bar at 1220 16th St, known for award-winning tacos out front and a speakeasy-style lounge entered through a porta-potty door in back. The original Bodega opened here in December 2014 and remains the flagship, pairing a walk-up taco counter with a full cocktail bar, DJs, and late-night hours.

Tacos and drinks

The tacos are the draw, served from a signature Airstream-turned-taco-truck parked inside, alongside margaritas and tequila-based cocktails. Happy hour runs daily from 6 to 9 PM. Behind the taco shop, the hidden lounge shifts the room from a casual lunch stop to a DJ-driven late-night bar.

Atmosphere and who it fits

Bodega is built for groups, casual nights that keep going, and anyone who wants tacos, tequila, and a DJ scene at one address. It runs high-energy rather than as a quiet dinner room, which makes it a strong pick for a night that starts with food and rolls into drinks.
