Taqueria Emanuel, Saint Petersburg

Since 2014, the owners of Taqueria Emanuel have been whipping up authentic tastes from south of the border. They back up their claim that "customers won't find a better Mexican meal without a six hour plane ride", by enveloping fresh, locally-sourced produce and protein in handmade tortillas. Made-to-order empanadas, flautas, enchiladas, tacos, and burritos come loaded with seasoned meats like carne asada or carnitas.
