Downtown St. Pete’s newest go-to spot for Mexican eats and margaritas soft opened last week.

Guac N’ Cheese resides at 15 8th St N inside of The ‘Burg’s CoHatch coworking space. The restaurant parcel was formerly occupied by King State’s St. Pete location, which was open for a brief stint earlier this year.

Guac N’ Cheese soft opened its St. Pete restaurant on Oct. 30 and is now open seven days a week, with operating hours and menu items similar to that of its flagship location across the bridge in Tampa.

Its Tex-Mex-style menu features appetizers like guacamole, quesadillas, empanadas, calamari, taco salads and stuffed jalapeños alongside larger plates of nachos, platters of carne asada and spicy shrimp, burritos, chimichangas, fajitas and a variety of enchiladas.

A specialty item on Guac N’ Cheese’s menu is its loaded molcajete entree, which features a sizzling combination of shrimp, steak, chicken and sautéed vegetables inside of a traditional stone mortar and pestle.

The newly-opened Mexican restaurant also boasts a variety of options for vegetarians, picky kiddos and folks with a sweet tooth (fried ice cream or choco-banana chimichangas, anyone?)

Beers, margaritas, sangria, palomas and mules are on the menu, too.

According to Guac N’ Cheese’s Toast page—where you can also place online orders—its St. Pete location is open from noon-8 p.m. on Sundays and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays.
