Ciccio Restaurant Group, the hospitality company behind concepts like Taco Dirty and Fresh Kitchen, is preparing to launch a second outpost of its Green Lemon Mexican restaurant brand, according to recent coverage by Creative Loafing Tampa. The new location is planned for St. Petersburg.

“While no exact opening date was given, the new 150-seat, 2,580-square-foot space hopes to debut by this fall,” the coverage says.

The Green Lemon menu opens with appetizers and a selection of Fiesta Bowls like the Habanero Beef (Spicy shredded brisket, shredded carrot, and pico de gallo; tossed with a mojo vinaigrette, drizzled with Sriracha aioli and topped with queso crumbles). A menu of Street Tacos offers choices like Carnitas (ancho braised pork, salsa fresca, crisp cabbage, queso fresco, chile de arbol sauce) and Kung Fu’d Tuna (Blackened seared rare tuna, pickled red onion, mango, cucumber, sliced avocado, cilantro, sriracha aioli, sesame seeds).

The new location will open at 4400 Fourth Street North, on the northwest corner of the intersection with Fourth Street North, just across the street from Fresh Kitchen.
