Streetlight Taco

Streetlight Taco builds its South Tampa menu around fresh-ground masa and hand-pressed tortillas. Its Japanese eggplant taco pairs heirloom bean puree with chile onza salsa, while a crab tostada brings mango and habanero into the mix. Try both for the kitchen's savory and sweet sides.

Streetlight Taco takes a focused approach to tortillas, salsas, carefully cooked meats, and seasonal fillings from its Henderson Boulevard shop. The open kitchen and concise menu keep attention on nixtamalized corn and the individual treatment of each filling. Orders move between familiar preparations and more exploratory combinations, always balancing masa, acid, chile, and texture.
