Not only that, but you can enjoy coastal cocktails and stunning views while you chow down on a couple (or three or four) delicious tacos. Check out these spots in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach that serve tacos.
COASTAL
There's nothing like tacos by the water. You'll find mango tuna, grouper, and island shrimp tacos at COASTAL's beachside bar served with house fries, pasta salad, or fruit. Add COASTAL's signature Orange Beach Margarita to your order, and you've got the perfect beachfront meal.
YoHo Rum & Tacos
You can expect plenty of enticing tacos at YoHo Rum & Tacos. A few of this restaurant's offerings include barbacoa, blackened shrimp, firecracker shrimp, and peanut ginger chicken tacos. If you have difficulty deciding which to try, you can mix and match up to three different flavors.
Tacky Jacks
Whether you like 'em fried, grilled, or blackened, Tacky Jacks has all the seafood tacos you need. Choose from flaky fish, gulf grouper, shrimp, mahi-mahi, and firecracker shrimp. With locations in Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Fort Morgan, you can't pass up grabbing a bite to eat at Tacky Jacks.
Flora-Bama Ole River Grill
Flora-Bama Ole River Grill is a great spot to grab a bite to eat and dig your toes in the sand. This waterfront joint is right across from the iconic Flora-Bama Lounge & Oyster Bar and serves fantastic dishes and drinks. Ole River Grill has fried chicken, blackened shrimp, and blackened fish tacos, all topped with shredded cabbage, shredded cheese, pico de gallo, and comeback sauce.

On the menu, you'll find coastal tacos made with slaw, shredded cheese, and chipotle tartar and served in soft tortilla shells. You have your choice of chicken, fish, and shrimp and can have them fried, grilled, or blackened.

Chow down on fabulous seafood tacos while watching the waves at The Gulf. This waterfront spot is known for its unique atmosphere and unbelievable coastal cuisine. Taco lovers can choose shrimp and mahi-mahi tacos served in flour tortillas or in a bowl over brown rice and black beans.
Cactus Cantina
Fans of traditional tacos will want to stop by one of the several Cactus Cantinas in the area. This popular Mexican spot offers seven different tacos; guests can choose from soft flour, soft corn, or hard corn shells. Tacos are served with two sides, and I highly recommend getting the restaurant's signature cactus grits.

Fish, shrimp, chicken, steak, and veggies – you've got your choice of five amazing tacos at Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails. All orders come with shoestring fries and black beans. Go ahead and add the scratch margarita to your order, as this beachy spot squeezes its juice and crafts its own syrup.
