Tacos Margaritas and Live DJ on the Gulf Coast

When Cinco de Mayo rolls around each May, there is no better place to celebrate on Florida's Scenic Highway 30A than Bud and Alley's Taco Bar in Seaside. One of the Gulf Coast's most beloved outdoor dining spots, Taco Bar transforms into a full all-day fiesta each year — with food and drink specials, live DJ entertainment and the laid-back Seaside vibe that has made this spot a staple for locals and visitors alike since it first opened in 2007.

Part of the iconic Bud and Alley's restaurant family — Walton County's longest-running restaurant, founded in 1986 and a Florida Trend Magazine Golden Spoon Hall of Fame award winner — Taco Bar sits roadside on Scenic Highway 30A at 2236 East County Road 30A, just steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Modeled after authentic taquerias along the Mexican border, the open-air bar and restaurant serves up Baja fish tacos, street tacos, burritos, house-made guacamole, top-shelf tequilas and signature margaritas daily — and on Cinco de Mayo, it takes everything up a notch.

Whether you are spending the week in Seaside or just passing through on a 30A getaway, Cinco de Mayo at Taco Bar is the kind of effortless, fun-filled afternoon that captures everything the 30A lifestyle is about.
