GREEN LEMON – Mexican
On South Howard in Hyde Park, Green Lemon is the loud, bright end of Tampa's Mexican dining — a margarita bar with a kitchen that takes street food somewhere unexpected. Tacos, burritos, bowls, nachos, chips and dips, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free versions built properly rather than bolted on. Fiesta Hour runs daily from three to seven, and Taco Tuesdays are a fixture of the week here. Colorful, busy, and completely unbothered about it.
