From here several sets of stairs lead you into different dining rooms. Inside you are met with a bar area and waiting room. At the entrance they have a small outdoor patio, where one gentleman was sitting reading the paper. In an large converted residential building, it stands out from the surrounding area. Ambiance Tap Tap Restaurant is located on Miami Beach, right on the main thoroughfare of 5th Street. Throw in the large portions and the fact that the restaurant is on Miami Beach, it seemed more than reasonable to me. Appetizers were under $10 and entrees fell in the $15-$20 range. Value While I'm sure more knowledgable folks of Haitian spots in Miami would complain, I felt like everything was extremely well priced. Regardless of what you order, expect to leave satisfied. I came by myself and the appetizer and entree were too large for me to finish. I do wish however they had thrown more pikliz on top for additional heat. The flavor of the meat stole the show and made up for the relatively plain sides. Fried pork chunks that were extremely tender and juicy served with a pile of white rice and fried plantain. Despite my disappointment the Griyo was still very tasty. For my meal I ended up with the Griyo, I was hoping for the stewed goat but it was not ready yet. Just lightly fried, they had a good texture, but it is the sauce that really brightens the dish. The dish is malanga fritters that are served alongside a watercress sauce. Found on Miami Beach, which is more known for overpriced and luxurious dining options, Tap Tap Restaurant instead offers authenticity and great flavor. Quality Tap Tap Restaurant has earned a reputation as having some of the best and most approachable Haitian and Caribbean food in Miami. Ordered Akra as an appetizer and Griyo as my entree. Had lunch at Tap Tap Restaurant on Saturday afternoon. We definitely left with bad tastes in our mouths. Perhaps the forced tip added to customer bills provided our server with no incentive to please her customers. To boot, when we received our check, we were further vexed to find that the restaurant added a mandatory gratuity to our check. There was no evidence of concern over providing quality customer service. Service continued on its downward spiral from there our waitress carried herself very lazily, as if she was tired and wanted to clock off from work already. We were very perplexed and annoyed by the situation. We were left with no choice as the kitchen was unwilling to combine the two for us. There was nothing special about the BANNANN PEZE (Fried plantains) and we were both very turned off by our DIRI KOLE/DIRI BLAN AK SOS PWA order - our waitress approached us shortly after ordering and informed us that they had only the white rice and bean sauce separate, that we would need to mix the two ourselves. Unfortunately, my husband found the vegetarian dishes as unexciting. I enjoyed the KRIBISH KOROYE (Shrimp in coconut sauce) and ZEPINA NAN SOS KOKOYE (Sauteed spinach in coconut sauce). Aficionados of Caribbean fare would appreciate the menu of fried plantains, delectables in creole or coconut sauces, and BARBANCOURT RHUM cocktails. The funky, arty restaurant is a site for sore eyes and will awaken your senses. Inside is strikingly merry with its vibrant setting of brightly frescoed walls of colorful murals and multi-colored decor. From the outside, Tap Tap is a lone standing grey building, identified by its neon restaurant light sign. It does not store any personal data.Atmosphere: A+ Food: B Service: D Price: C- beware of the automatic forced gratuity added to your bill This beautiful establishment, which pays homage to Haitian culture and cuisine, is a must-see for the atmosphere alone.
