About me, @tanyainsarasota!
Hi, I’m Tanya — a mom of 3, foodie, and the creator behind @tanyainsarasota.
I moved from Southern California to Sarasota in 2022 and instantly fell in love with the charm, the people, and (of course) the food scene.
I was featured on ABC7 as "Sarasota's Favorite Follow" and was nominated as a Lakewood Magazine "Woman of Influence 2025".
With roots in both Mexican and Armenian culture, food has always been a huge part of my life — from big family meals to late-night takeout.
This guide is packed with spots I actually go to — places I take my kids, date nights with my husband, and casual bites I grab on Uber Eats.
I made this for locals and visitors who want to eat well, support small businesses, and explore Sarasota like a foodie insider.
