Get Shrimp Tacos in Destin'

We’re finally getting some good news that the beaches are opening up! Although you can only visit the beaches for limited hours, we’re eager to get on the sand and see the waves for ourselves. It’s just in time for summer festivities, like Cinco de Mayo and Memorial Day. While we can’t say for certain that restaurants will be open in time for Cinco de Mayo, that doesn’t mean you can’t have your own fiesta celebration at home! With so many local restaurants offering to go and deliver, there’s no excuse to skip on the tacos, chips, and salsa this year. Some places are even serving up to-go cocktails for the 21-and-older crowd, so don’t forget your ID when picking up your food! Check out some of our favorite places to get shrimp tacos in Destin, whether you are a local or here enjoying the warm weather and sunshine.

Burrito Del Sol

Known to be one of the best places to get shrimp tacos in Destin, Burrito Del Sol’s shrimp tacos are unmatched. Get them Baja, chipotle, southwest, or BBQ style and blackened upon request. They’re rubbed with house seasoning and served grilled – we like ours Baja style with a side of guacamole, of course!

Cantina Laredo

For upscale southwestern cuisine, Cantina Laredo in Grand Boulevard is our top pick. Make your own tacos with their Sauteed Shrimp Fajitas, served on a bed of caramelized onion and bell peppers and garnished with roasted red pepper and cilantro. Just portion out into the fresh flour tortillas and voila!
