 Taco Baby
     
    235 Main St, Dunedin, FL 34698,  
    Dubbed as “Florida’s tiniest taqueria” and rightfully so, it was born from a renovated ATM stand. Taco Baby serves fresh tacos, chips, and salsa daily. They have a small menu to match their small storefront but have recently added recently popularized jackfruit taco to the selections.

18. Rooster & the Till 
    4.5 out 5 stars, 492 reviews
    6500 N Florida Ave, Seminole Heights, Tampa
    "I ate here on a busy Friday night. The food was unique and well thought out. The chef certainly tries to incorporate unique flavors and blend different culinary traditions. At first I was skeptical about the options for vegetarians like myself but turns out the menu rotated frequently and it wasn't at all a disappointment. I had the paratha which was basically an Indian style paratha grilled and with topping of raita. What made it interesting were the dates and fried plantains on top. It was a great starter dish. I think it could have been made better with addition of a bit of heat- but then again I love the mix of spicy and sweet foods! The wine list is the other reason to come here. It's long and affordable with excellent wines" - Ruchi D.
