Pensacola has dozens of great places to eat. On Tuesday, Yelp released its first-ever “Top 100 Places to Eat in Florida.”
The list rated Florida eateries based on multiple criteria, such as counting the volume and high ratings of user reviews between Jan. 1, 2017, and April 13, 2022.
Only one Pensacola dining spot made the list, it’s ranked #3. And it’s a food truck
Taqueria El Asador, Pensacola
7955 N Davis Hwy – behind Shell station
Here is what Yelp wrote: The best tacos are often found at small, out-of-the-way places known only to locals. But the word is out on Taqueria El Asador, a food truck located behind a gas station off I-10.
While waiting in the (fast-moving) line, take in the aromas of carne asada, chorizo, pork, lengua (tongue), and other meats cooking over the large grill—where “the magic happens,” according to one Yelper.
Then, enjoy your food on the attached covered patio, where hungry customers savor tacos, burritos, tortas, and quesadillas, washed down with just-sweet-enough agua frescas and other beverages.
Check out the list.
