Former President Obama was met with screaming fans in Florida while getting food with Andrew Gillum, the Democratic candidate for governor of Florida, and Sen. Bill Nelson (D) at a taco shop.

{mosads}After campaigning for the two candidates on Friday, Obama stopped at the Coyo Taco restaurant in Miami, where the three were greeted by supporters shortly after arriving at the venue. 

“I want everybody to vote!” Obama could be heard telling supporters, as diners gaped and cheered at seeing the former president.

Obama posed with a man while holding a chip and guacamole for a photo. 

The former president ordered a Cochinita Pibil, Pollo al Carbon, Camaron, Guacamole and Esquite for himself and treated Gillum to a bottle of Coke, according to the Miami Herald.

In between taking photos with supporters, Obama reportedly got hungry and began asking for his food. 

“Where’s my taco?” Obama exclaimed. “Everybody was busy taking all these pictures.”

Upon leaving the restaurant, the former president and his entourage were greeted by a larger crowd of supporters that reportedly formed after he entered the taco shop.
