Most visitors and locals alike know that Destin, Florida has some dang good seafood. With an optimal location right off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, how could they not? There are hundreds of recommendations for the best seafood restaurants in and around the Destin area, but what if someone in your group doesn’t care for seafood or is allergic? Or perhaps they are just craving something a little less…fishy? Well, here is a list of our top 5 non-seafood restaurants in Destin that you will definitely want to add to your must-try list:
1. Burrito Del Sol
Burrito Del Sol is a Mexican Restaurant serving fresh Baja-Style Mexican food in Downtown Fort Walton Beach and their newest location in Destin. All dishes are prepared in one of four signature styles including baja, chipotle, bbq, and southwest. Their chicken and steak are slow roasted for up to 7 hours. Popular menu items include blackened shrimp tacos “baja style,” steak nachos “chipotle style,” and chicken burritos “southwest style.” They are also 100% family owned and operated.
2. La Famiglia
La Famiglia is an Italian restaurant that was founded in 2011 by the Rella family when they moved from Rome, Italy to Destin, Florida.
