Grab a lime and pull up a bayside seat as we launch our flavorful journey through Fort Myers Beach's taco and tequila scene! Our inaugural episode takes us to Junkanoo, a mid-island treasure nestled right next to Publix with breathtaking back bay views where dolphins playfully surface throughout the day.

We're diving fork-first into their $12.99 Taco Tuesday special – beefsteak tacos with fresh cilantro on flour tortillas, accompanied by a perfectly balanced jalapeño sauce that brings just enough heat without overwhelming the palate. Paired with their signature mango jalapeño margarita, it's a combination that showcases why this spot earns rave reviews from locals and visitors alike. Beyond the spectacular food, we uncover Junkanoo's remarkable comeback story following Hurricane Ian, which destroyed their original beachfront location but couldn't dampen their spirit or their flavor.

What makes this the perfect time to explore? We're in "shoulder season" – that sweet spot between summer crowds and winter snowbirds where you can enjoy shorter waits while supporting local businesses. Junkanoo isn't just about amazing tacos; it's a gateway to other island experiences with dolphin sunset cruises, kayak rentals, and boat rentals all available on-site. Plus, we share insider tips about Florida's summer rain patterns (spoiler: those daily forecasted showers typically last less than an hour!). Whether you're planning your first visit or you're a longtime resident looking for new favorites, join us weekly as we sip, savor, and celebrate the best tacos and tequila Fort Myers Beach has to offer. Have a favorite spot you think deserves the spotlight? Drop us a line and we'll add it to our culinary adventure map!
