Taco Casa and Gyro Cafe Open on the Beach

Locally owned restaurants Gyro Cafe & Taco Casa have opened two new locations on Panama City Beach. Located at the Coastal Palms Village across from the Navy Base entrance, these two new locations bring the English Enterprise family of restaurants up to six.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said owner Geoff English. “After successful opening of the 2nd Taco Casa location on 23rd Street in late 2007, we knew that Panama City Beach was the next logical step.”

The new beach locations are situated side-by-side just as the locations in the 23rd Street Wal-Mart Plaza.

“We’re keeping the same popular menus and prices at each store,” said English. “Taco Casa’s mexican menu is best known for its sanchiladas and chili con queso, while Gyro Cafe’s greek-inspired cuisine has stand-outs with its gyro sandwiches and hummus.”

Locations: 944, 948 Thomas Drive (Coastal Palms Village), Panama City Beach:
Phone numbers: Taco Casa-249-0112; Gyro Café-249-0448

We ate at Gyro Cafe a couple weeks ago and loved it.
