FMBGN-Tequila & Taco Tuesday-La Ola-Breakfast Tacos & a Mango Sunrise

Sunrise on Fort Myers Beach tastes like warm tortillas and bright mango. We head to La Ola Surfside in Times Square for a quick, flavorful morning session where breakfast tacos meet a mango margarita and local stories meet the sea breeze. This stop brings together the comfort of eggs and sausage, the pop of cheddar jack, and the spark of fresh salsa with a tropical pour that balances sweetness, citrus, and tequila’s clean bite.

We share why breakfast tacos deserve more love, how to dial heat without overpowering the eggs, and the simple tricks that keep tortillas soft and stackable. Along the way, we take a moment to look up at Legacy Tower, a remaining marker from the old Coast Surf Shop and a symbol of resilience for a community that keeps showing up. La Ola’s patio puts you right at the heart of it—bartenders who remember your order, locals dropping in, and that soft thrum of Times Square waking up. It’s a short visit with a big mood: start early, sip something bright, and let the beach set your pace.

If you’re scouting the best tacos in Fort Myers Beach or hunting for a memorable margarita, this guide gives you the essentials. Order the breakfast tacos, ask for salsa on the side, add heat to the eggs not the tortilla, and finish with a squeeze of lime over the mango marg for balance. We also shout out great service behind the bar, because a good pour and a quick smile can turn a Tuesday tradition into a ritual. Hungry yet? Hit play, save La Ola Surfside to your list, and join us for a taste of local flavor and community pride.
