COYO Taco Opens New Bayside Marketplace Location in Miami

• COYO Taco is opening a new flagship-style waterfront location at Bayside Marketplace in Downtown Miami.
• The new 4,473-square-foot restaurant introduces a redesigned concept with elevated interiors, expanded cocktails, and exclusive menu items.
• The opening comes as Bayside Marketplace continues its broader waterfront revitalization and dining expansion.

What the New Bayside Location Includes

COYO Taco is entering a new phase of growth with the launch of its newest Miami location at Bayside Marketplace, officially opening to the public on May 26. The popular Miami-born taqueria and speakeasy concept is using its waterfront opening to debut a refreshed design direction and a more elevated guest experience while continuing its international expansion into markets such as London, Medellín, and Lisbon. Located at 401 Biscayne Blvd., the new 4,473-square-foot restaurant was designed by Saladino Design Studios and blends mid-century influences with sculptural Mexican-inspired interiors. Features include custom mosaic communal seating, neon accents, indoor-outdoor bar areas, and expansive garage doors opening toward Biscayne Bay. The location includes approximately 85 indoor seats and nearly 40 outdoor seats, arranged around a courtyard-style bar.

What COYO Taco Executives Say About the Expansion

Sven Vogtland said the Bayside opening represents a major evolution for the brand.
“This location reflects the evolution of COYO Taco through a more elevated design and overall guest experience, while staying true to our authentic flavors and vibrant energy,” Vogtland said.
Scott Linquist is leading the culinary program at the new location, including two Bayside-exclusive dishes: Michoacán Style Carnitas and the Quesadilla Cubana, a Miami-inspired menu item combining pulled pork carnitas, ham, queso mixto, pickles, and mustard.
The restaurant will also feature handcrafted agave cocktails, frozen drinks, and its signature margaritas.

What Bayside Marketplace Says About the Addition

Joe Press said COYO Taco fits Bayside Marketplace’s broader effort to attract more authentic Miami-based dining concepts.
“COYO Taco represents the kind of authentic, energetic local brand that aligns naturally with our long-term vision for Bayside,” Press said.
Bayside Marketplace has been actively repositioning itself as a more experience-driven waterfront destination with expanded dining, entertainment, and nightlife offerings targeting both locals and tourists.

What This Means for Miami’s Hospitality Market

The opening reflects continued momentum within Miami’s restaurant and hospitality sectors as local brands expand into larger lifestyle-oriented developments and waterfront destinations.
COYO Taco’s growth from a Wynwood-based concept into an international hospitality brand mirrors Miami’s broader emergence as a global dining, nightlife, and tourism hub.
Developers and landlords across South Florida continue prioritizing experiential food-and-beverage concepts capable of driving traffic, nightlife activity, and destination appeal.

What the Expansion Could Mean for Bayside Marketplace

As Bayside Marketplace undergoes its ongoing revitalization, additions like COYO Taco could help reposition the waterfront property into a stronger year-round entertainment and dining destination.
The project also reflects how locally founded hospitality brands are increasingly becoming central to Miami’s broader real estate, tourism, and mixed-use development landscape.
