Maybe after a long day of riding roller coasters at Busch Gardens, it’s Mexican Cuisine that is on your stomach’s mind. Although the very delicious Chipotle and Tijuana Flats are nearby, there are also some choices that you may have never discovered.

Their friendly staff and bright colors surrounding the walls perfectly complement the menu that has been said by many to be the best Mexican food in Tampa. To top off the list, Vallarta has a full bar, beer and of course margaritas!
