Bayside Inn Restaurant, Pinellas Park

Nuevo Vallarta Mexican Restaurant brings new meaning to "Taco Tuesday". In addition to ample classics like tacos de carnitas or al pastor, the tacos de chicharon pair two Mexican favorites in one dish. Beyond tacos, taking advantage of the Tampa Bay area's proximity to the ocean, the kitchen fries up up fresh tilapia—serving it whole with a lemon butter sauce in its signature Mojarra Frita. Those who save room for dessert can indulge in traditional tres leches cake or sample fried cheesecake for something a little different.
