Taco Bus Is Nominated in TAMPA Magazine’s 2026 Best of the City — Here’s How to Vote

Tampa Bay, we’ve got big news and we need your help. Taco Bus has been nominated in TAMPA Magazine’s 2026 Best of the City — the annual readers’ contest that celebrates the people, places, and flavors that make this region one of a kind. After almost 30 years of slinging street tacos out of buses, gas-station express counters, and 24-hour kitchens across the Bay, getting recognized by our own community would mean the world to us.

But here’s the thing about a readers’ contest: it comes down to votes. Yours. So we’re asking the whole Taco Bus familia to show up for us between now and July 5.

What Taco Bus Is Nominated For

We’re up for votes in three categories this year, and each one feels true to who we are:

Best Caterer — From backyard parties to corporate lots and big community events, our trucks bring the fiesta straight to you.

Best Late Night Eats — Our Plant City and Tampa MLK kitchens run 24 hours, because great tacos shouldn’t keep business hours.

Uniquely Tampa Bay — We started on a single bus in 1995. There’s nothing else quite like Taco Bus, and that’s the whole point.

How to Vote (It Takes 30 Seconds)

Voting is quick, free, and open to everyone — you don’t have to be a magazine subscriber.

1. Head to tampamagazines.com/best-city-tampa-bay.
2. Find Taco Bus in Best Caterer, Best Late Night Eats, and Uniquely Tampa Bay.
3. Cast your votes and confirm.

You Can Vote Once Per Day

This is the part that matters most: you can vote once every single day through July 5. The contests with the most consistent daily support are the ones that finish on top, so the best thing you can do is bookmark the voting page and tap through each morning with your coffee. One vote a day, every day, for the rest of the contest — that’s how we bring it home.

Why Your Vote Means So Much

We’ve never been a big corporate chain. We’re a Tampa Bay original, built by this community one taco at a time, with eight locations now spread from Clearwater to Land O’Lakes to Plant City. A “Best of the City” nod isn’t just a trophy on the wall — it’s our neighbors saying we’re part of what makes living here so good.

So thank you, Tampa Bay. Vote today, vote tomorrow, and keep it chido all the way to July 5.
