Storm-damaged VIP Mexican operates from food truck
February 19, 2025 - The popular VIP Mexican restaurant on Treasure Island serves patrons again after Hurricane Helene decimated the establishment at 10625 Gulf Blvd. While the kitchen remains out of order, neighboring Sea Dog Brewing lent the restaurant its food truck. Owner Nick Rapisardi told WFTS, “It’s been tough to get excited about anything until about now, but we are hitting the tail end.”
