It was hard to decide between the street tacos at Mercado or the duck tacos at Cantina, so we decided to include the Red Mesa concepts all in one slot. The original Red Mesa Restaurant on 4th Street offers an inviting sit-down meal experience. Cantina serves up one of the finest margaritas in the city, which is a perfect complement to their savory tacos — both the fish and duck tacos are exceptional. Mercado’s West Coast-inspired menu delivers a killer chicken street taco that we find ourselves craving on a weekly basis.

All of the Red Mesa concepts are closed for dine-in, but all 4 remain open for takeout and delivery.

Visit Red Mesa’s new to-go website to order from any of their restaurants.

Taquitos Mexican wanted to bring the flavors of Cadereyta de Montes, the owner’s birthplace, to the states. Because they are more of a traditional Taco house, Taquitos Mexican specializes in Mexican street food, but also try to combine traditional flavors with more modern takes of Mexican food in the States. We recommend the fish tacos. You can get beer-battered or blackened fish on handmade corn tortillas with traditional diced onion and cilantro on top, or you can add lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and crema.

Taquitos is offering new take-home taco kits to further amplify your Taco Tuesday festivities.

Visit their website to place an order.

 

Señor Taco delivers a flawless haymaker to our taste buds each and every time we visit. The arroz imperial (Mexican stuffed rice), fried ice cream and handmade tamales are glorious. Their tacos are equally remarkable.

We recommend you order the Machete tacos — fried pork mushrooms and onions smothered with melted cheese and served on a flour tortilla topped with salsa verde. If you have room, treat yourself to the el trí — smoked ham, chorizo, bacon, onions, and poblano peppers, all grilled together and topped with melted cheese, cilantro, guac and sour cream on a flour tortilla.

Visit the restaurant’s website for a full menu. The restaurant also delivers through UberEats.

Poppo’s Taqueria

1033 Central Avenue

This restaurant is a new taco spot in the Burg’s EDGE district. Poppo’s has a make your own feature for tacos which is one of my favorite things in a taco restaurant. But, if you’re the kind of person who gets overwhelmed by choices, you can’t go wrong with the Poppo’s Taco. Jump on it!

The tempeh here is phenomenal by the way. Poppo’s is open for takeout and delivery. Visit the Poppo’s website to place an order pickup.

OK so this one is on St. Pete Beach, but it’s well worth the trip. The cocktail selection is impeccable, and you can get a 32oz margarita TO-GO. Their selection of cocktails, great service, and a fantastic location make it well worth a quick drive outside the ‘Burg. Follow El Agave Bar on Facebook for updates.
