A new spot for margaritas and quesabirria tacos has officially arrived in St. Pete.
Jimmy’s Tacos celebrated its soft opening last week at 2534 Central Avenue in the Grand Central District, marking the brand’s second location and its first in St. Pete.
The restaurant takes over the former home of vintage furniture shop The Foundry, which relocated just a few doors down to 2604 Central Avenue last year.
The St. Pete location has the same bright yellow exterior as its flagship location in Tampa’s Ybor City, but the new space is noticeably larger, with expanded indoor seating, an outdoor back patio, and a full liquor bar.
The Grand Central District’s newest restaurant was originally slated to open last August, according to previous reporting from St. Pete Rising.
At the heart of that menu are the quesabirria tacos, widely considered the restaurant’s most popular offering.
The tacos are made with slow-cooked beef and melted white cheese, served alongside a rich consommé for dipping.
That same birria shows up across the menu in more unexpected ways, including egg rolls, loaded fries, bao buns, grilled cheese sandwiches, and even a comforting bowl of birria ramen.
