Taqueria Emmanuel, Tampa

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.
