It happens to all of us: sometimes you just crave good tacos! It might be that last episode of an American TV series you watched where they all go to get some nachos or that match of Lucha Libre that got you thinking about good fajitas… Well, enough with the stereotypes, and let’s move on…
Near Flagey, a great Mexican place will grant your wish. La Taqueria, with its bold colors, pop neon signs, and posters of Luchadores will soon take you on a trip to Mexico, feed you and make you want to book your next flight to Cancùn. The menu says it all: Mexican dishes with popular Central American influences. But be ready to share: the options are way too many (and delicious) to just get one dish. From the popular tacos, made with certified organic Mexican corn, to quesadillas, and a great selection of finger food (loaded Nachos anyone?), la Taqueria will satisfy every diner at the table. If you ask me, the tacos cochinita pibil and la quesadilla el Jefe are not to be missed. But, what wouldn’t be a dinner at a Mexican place without Tequila? A Margarita or a “French Man in Tijuana” with a fresh elderflower twist will do the work. Mexico is only one bite away from you, ay Caramba!
