STP is in proximity to the Millenia mall, but is a far cry from the overpriced, traffic-strewn, tourist-filled chaos of the mall plaza. Hidden in a plaza on the other side of I-4, this place doesn’t stick out from the road.

It’s a secret dive, but a palace for those treasure hunters who will go looking.

Atmosphere: Very lax, almost beachy vibe. There is graffiti on the wall and nightly drink specials. Usually 90s hits or rock music plays in the background. The crowd is a mix of casual diners and a gaggle of post-work professionals. Catch a game in the background, take a shot of tequila, or sit back and try one of the craft beers on special.

Eats: The food is amazing and the prices are incredibly reasonable.

Sloppy Tacos have the works with all kinds of sauce all over them.

Their crunchy tacos are crisp, the ground beef spiced just right and they don’t mind giving that extra side of sour cream.

Avoid the mac and cheese appetizer unless you are about to take a nap or are absolutely starving.

Skip the tacos if you want and try the wings which are also doused in just the right of sauce. Plus, they can crank up the heat if you want a little bit of that buffalo spice.
