Michelin honors Tampa's Streetlight Tacos

Streetlight Taco in South Tampa has received Michelin's Bib Gourmand, the organization announced yesterday.

State of play: The restaurant was recently added to Michelin's Tampa guide . Three other Tampa restaurants share the honor, and three others have a coveted star .

• More stars could be in our future after the Michelin Guide hosts its private Florida ceremony on April 18 in Tampa.

What they're saying: The anonymous inspector praised Streetlight's contemporary style and the fact that Chef Michael Brannock nixtamalizes (a form of preparation) corn in-house for extra tasty tacos, tostadas, salsas and sides.

Michelin's favs: "The Sunday snack tostada, an equal parts sweet-and-savory delight with two blue corn tostadas layered with cream cheese with lump crab, diced sweet mango and a mango habanero sauce."

• "The Japanese eggplant taco with an heirloom bean puree and a chile onza salsa has just the right amount of kick. There's a full bar, but a strawberry horchata goes down perfectly, too."
