Is Pensacola a taco mecca? These 8 taco spots will have you convinced Let’s talk about tacos honestly for a second. It’s weird that there are so many good taco places in Pensacola. California, New Mexico, Texas — these are places you expect to find amazing tacos. Little Pensacola, with a population of about 54,000, located in the Florida Panhandle, is absolutely not a taco mecca — or is it?
Perhaps El Asador, after being crowned one of America’s greatest tacos joints twice, has drawn the attention of competitors hoping to gain some of that recognition. As they say, a rising tide lifts all boats. No matter the cause, one truth remains: Pensacola has some seriously good tacos and they’re hidden everywhere.
Pensacola’s a Florida hotspot for DUI crashes, deaths. Why we stand out and how we fix it.

Sgt. James Daniels, who’s been with the PDD since 2007 and oversees training and accreditation for the police department, says that drunk and impaired driving is a problem in the city, especially on the weekends.
