This isn't your traditional tex-mex. It's a "modern taquiera" and the food is good, but we really go here for the beautiful atmosphere and margaritas. Red Mesa Mercado is a sister restaurant and has more casual fare and a great outdoor seating area as well.

This is a little concession stand type grille that serves casual food like fried shrimp and burgers. We love going here to just grab a drink and watch the sunset, but since we have a baby we more often go for breakfast ;) There's also little vendors that sell beachy goods and often live music especially on the weekends.

St. Pete Beach is a beautiful beach but does get a little busy. I would go here if you are looking for lots of bars and restaurants and fun things to do. There are some neighborhoods you can park for free, but watch out for the ones that require a city permit. Your best bet would probably be the public beach access parking lot here: 4700 Gulf Blvd, St Pete Beach, FL 33706
