Cañonita

The Write-Up

The full story

At Boxi Park in Lake Nona, Cañonita's Street Taqueria serves Mexico City style street food from a walk-up counter under the string lights. Street tacos, birria nachos and chips with salsa pair with margaritas from the park bar, open-air and casual. A full-service Cañonita sibling has also opened at Lake Nona West, but this record is the taqueria: order at the counter and fold it into a Boxi Park night.
