Five Stars Aren’t Enough — Taco Teca is a Holy Grail of Flavour! From the moment you walk into Taco Teca, you’re not just stepping into a taco joint — you’re stepping into a portal where the gods of Mexican street food have chosen to bless humanity. The air hums with the scent of slow-cooked meats, hand-pressed tortillas, and a fiery hint of chilli that promises an unforgettable culinary adventure. The tacos? Transcendent. Each bite is a perfect explosion of texture and taste — tender, marinated perfection wrapped in a tortilla so fresh it could make grown men cry. The birria tacos dipped in that rich, soul-hugging consommé? Life-changing. And don’t even get me started on the carnitas — crispy edges, juicy centres, and just enough spice to keep your tastebuds dancing. But it’s not just about the tacos. The service is lightning-fast and full of personality — warm, real, and just the right amount of sass. The vibe? A perfect mashup of laid-back street cool and fiesta energy. You come for a feed and leave with a story. Taco Teca isn’t a meal — it’s a moment. A movement. A must. Viva la taco revolution!

Friendly, attentive staff and authentic, flavourful food. What's not to love? We asked our waitress to bring us food, trusting them to make the selections which is our way of eating out, we weren't disappointed with her choices. My only regret was I couldn't fit anymore in!
