South Tampa taco spot to open second location

South Tampa fast-casual spot Taco Dirty is opening its second location, this one in Riverview. 

The restaurant, at 10460 Stelling Drive, just off Big Bend and U.S. 301, is scheduled to open Thursday. Part of the Tampa-based Ciccio Restaurant Group, the location, according to a statement, is CRG’s first-ever concept in Riverview. The brand also operates Cali, Daily Eats and Fresh Kitchen, among other concepts.

Taco Dirty, which opened seven years ago, is CRG’s “reimagining of a neighborhood Mexican Cantina with south of the border beverages, tacos, nachos, burritos and our famous bowls,” the release states. The menu has gluten-free and dairy-free options, and can accommodate vegans and vegetarians.

Taco Dirty is offering a hero's discount at the new location: From May 29 through June 12, first responders, active-duty military, veterans, teachers and health care workers can get 25% off. 

Ciccio Restaurant Group, founded more than 30 years ago in New York City, operates 30 different restaurants under the Cali, Daily Eats, Fresh Kitchen, Green Lemon, Jay Luigi, Soulful, Sweet Soul, Taco Dirty and Water + Flour brands. Its portfolio also includes the successful South Tampa and California wellness and fitness boutique, CAMP.
