Written by Candice Rodgers | April 25, 2016

Craving tacos? Residents of Springs at Gulf Coast and Springs at Six Mile Cypress are fortunate to live near a variety of restaurants with an excellent selection. Next time that taco craving hits, make your way to one of the following eateries.

Estero 

1. Taco Vazquez
21481 S Tamiami Trail

Taco Vazquez is inside a gas station, but don't let that deter you. They serve excellent tacos, Mexican Coke, nachos supreme, enchiladas, and more, and you'll find that the food is very fresh and very well priced—many of the tacos are only $.99. If you're running late in the morning, stop in and grab Taco Vazquez’s signature breakfast burrito on your way to work. 

2. Tijuana Flats
8350 Hospital Dr

At Tijuana Flats, you can get two tacos for $5, and you get to eat in a kitschy dining room with muraled walls. They also have an extensive hot sauce bar so you can flavor your food just exactly how you like it. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and if you have food allergies, you'll definitely appreciate the allergen information they have posted online.
