Sitting on a busy stretch of West Kennedy Boulevard between SoHo and the airport, Miguel's Mexican Seafood & Grill has been one of Tampa's most-reviewed Mexican rooms for years.

Order from the seafood side of the menu first — the shrimp fajitas, grilled snapper, and Camarones a la Diabla are what regulars come back for. The signature molcajete piles shrimp, steak, and chorizo into a volcanic-stone bowl, and the al pastor and carnitas tacos are dependable. Save room for tres leches, and definitely order one of the upmarket margaritas the bar is known for — the spicy jalapeño and house tequila flights are local favorites.
Reservations are recommended for parties of six or more, especially on weekends. There's a sizable on-site parking lot, which is rare on this Kennedy corridor. Takeout is easy by phone or through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub, and delivery covers most of central Tampa. The patio is dog-friendly, and the bar pours a full tequila and mezcal list alongside Mexican beers.

Been coming to Miguel's for years. The molcajete is a must — huge portion and easily feeds two. Best Mexican on Kennedy.
