Mid St8 Taco
900 Market StreetBest tacos ever! Huevos Rancheros are to die for. It’s my favorite breakfast out.
My husband and I absolutely love the trio of restaurants run by Chef Qui Qui Musarra. The food is always fabulous and the cocktails are hand made with interesting and exotic ingredients. The restaurants including Mangia Qui, Rubicon, and Suba. Each has their own focus. It can get pricy, but if you are looking for a special dinner out, Mangia Qui is small and intimate. Rubicon is an historic, open space with beautiful Florida ceiling windows and views. Suba offers small plates and usually has quiet live music. They are very sensitive to Covid restrictions. Extremely safe.
