Take this review with a grain of salt, I didn't actually eat dinner here, I only sat at the bar and had mojitos. But seriously, one of the best Mojitos on planet earth. The haitian rum really packs a kick without tasting strong. Drink these with caution. The service was good, the interior charming and again, best mojitos in Miami.... more

The restaurant should have better cooks and maybe if it was a little warmer as far as the employees it would be better more

Loved the food and the service was great. This is a great place to eat some good hatian food. Not only do they have some of the best food, but they also have good drinks, and dessert to complete your meal. My husband and I can't wait to visit them the next time were're in Miami. more

Dined at Tap Tap and enjoyed the host and the decor. Food was scrumptious and presented well. The gratuity added on the bill was a bit confussing. I could not determine how it was figured on the final bill. We had 3 people the next table had 4 and it was not stated on the menu how gratuity would be... more

Haitian restaurants are not that easy to find and this one is a real gem. Serving as a community cultural center as well as a night club, bar and all day restaurant, Tap Tap has a number of dining rooms and a terrace facing S. 5th St. The actual "tap tap" (jitney) is often parked in front, a brightly painted... more

I did not like any of the food I tried here and I tried a few different plates. Maybe I just don't like this kind of cuisine... i don't know. i usually like just about anything, but I really thought the food here was, I don't know, cheap. Good location and interesting interior, but I would not recommend it. more

Great restaurant/cafe with lovely decor and a super ambience. The food, chicken stew and shrimp in coconut sauce was delicious. Especially the shrimp. However the service was scatty albeit delightful. The bread and corn were forgotten. The chicken arrived stone cold and had to be reheated in the microwave. Despite all this would recommend it and be happy to go... more

The food at Tap Tap is delicious. I've had the stewed vegetables, spinach in coconut milk, stewed chicken, and avocado/tomato salad, all of which were really great. The star anise tea has great flavor, so if you like sweetened tea (because it only comes sweetened) you may wish to try this. The prices are very fair and the staff is... more
