Popular Atlanta-based chain Rreal Tacos will open its first Florida location in downtown Tampa this fall.
The new outpost will be located at 808 N Franklin St., in the former Haiku Tampa spot.
The menu mostly spans street-style tacos as well as other South of the Border-inspired eats like burrito bowls, salads and even a birria pizza. But the chain is also known for its tequila and mezcal programs, and was honored back in 2023 by Food & Wine as one of the “Best Tequila Places to Drink Tequila Around the US.”
“Our goal has always been to treat the bar with the same intention and authenticity as the kitchen,” said Beverage Director and Partner Arturo Salgado in a press release. “Tampa Bay has a vibrant dining culture, and we’re excited to introduce guests to the depth and history behind agave spirits.”
The company currently has 11 locations listed on its website, all of which are in Georgia. As of now no exact opening date for the Tampa restaurant has been announced.
