I love Mexican food! Last week when I went to Houston for a visit, my son picked me up from the airport and I informed him that I had a list of restaurants I wanted to eat at while I was there. Topping the list is my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant Gringos. The very best in Tex-Mex and Margaritas can be found there and I’ve been dreaming about their salsa for days. Lunch was more chips and salsa (green and red) than a person should eat, chicken falutas, with the best refried beans and rice and lots of guacamole. OMG, I was in heaven. I became so overwhelmed with a Tex-Mex food high that I left my credit card there and had to go back the next morning to get it.
But one thing that Florida does have is good burrito shops. And when I want good burrito or tacos there’s no shortage of places to go. Tijuana Flats, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and Chipotle to name just a few. But when I’m in or around Downtown St. Pete I go to Burrito Boarder. It’s a funky little restaurant with skateboards hanging from the ceiling and tables made from surf boards. The food is healthy, fresh and natural. They use hormone free meats and organic veggies and best of all is that ALL the food is prepared fresh every day. They don’t even have a freezer in this place. The restaurant is totally eco friendly and most importantly to me it’s vegetarian friendly. The veggie tacos are awesome and the freshly made guacamole is soooooo good that I can’t pass it up.
I’m not a night owl but this place is open until after 2am so it’s a great stop for after the club. Sometimes there is a live band so tune into their Facebook Page to stay connected and for cheap eats check out Taco Tuesday for $1 tacos after 2pm.
