Forget the Chains, Find the Taquerías

Tacos and Enchiladas at Taquería San Julian in LaBelle, FloridaWhen it is time to eat, I avoid chains and search out good regional food. Yes, the USA still has excellent regional food and some of the best is in Florida. My trick here is to find the citrus fields - lemons, grapefruit, oranges, mandarines, tangerines, tangelos. Workers from Central America and Mexico are employed here so you will always see small taquerías along the highway. These family run establishments serve authentic Mexican food. There may be things as good, but there is nothing better than a real fresh taco with a Corona. In Florida City we had great food at Rosita's Mexican Restaurant and more of the same at Taquería San Julian in LaBelle.
Rositas Mexican Restaurant is located at 199 W Palm Dr in Florida City, FL 33034 Tel (305) 246-3114 and Taqueria San Julian is at 1100 State Road 29 S Labelle, FL 33935 (863) 612-9235. Both restaurants have gotten rave reviews on the net.
