Chihuahua Taqueria — Restaurant in Byron Bay

4.6

Mighty good place this one. First, it needs to be appreciated that Chihuahua is a hole in the wall joint in the middle of an arcade with a few tables and chairs. There’s no pretence. It’s essentially a little Mexican fast food outlet. But, if you like great food don’t let that worry you in the slightest. You can always go for that fancy restaurant lunch or dinner another time. If it’s great food you’re after and you want it quickly and simply without fuss, then this is your place.

We had two types of tacos, the pulled pork and the fish. Both were outstanding. Like fantastic. They’re a very good size, superbly cooked and presented and absolutely packed full of flavour. We loved them. They’d be a stampede where I come from for Mexican food this good at these prices. We love a bit of heat as well and also had a serve of the jalapeño poppers to finish. This was a wise choice. The poppers were awesome too. Really tasty with just the right amount of warmth that lingered beautifully.

I’d read the other reviews about Chihuahua and thought they’d be a fair bit of hype to them. I was wrong. This is a great place and clearly the one around town with a buzz about it going from the locals we talked to. To top it off the service was wonderful. Bright, cheery and very efficient.

This is a great place. We strongly...

My wife and I recently dropped in to Chihuahua Taqueria for a last minute lunch and boy where we glad we did. We were greeted by a very friendly young man who ran us through the options and took our cocktail order. Drinks came out fast and were delicious. The tacos weren’t far behind. They are big, $10 each or 2 for $19 is great value as they are bursting with fresh and beautifully cooked ingredients and packed full! My personal favourite was the calamari, I’ve never had a calamari taco but this thing was amazing. Calamari so tender someone without teeth could eat this taco. 😂 The battered fish and beef were also delicious but the calamari was out of this world. We were also given three bottles of sauces ranging from mild to hot that are all made in store. My favourite was the yellow (hot) pineapple habanero. Delicious. I highly recommend the tacos here, the nachos we saw on other tables also looked great. Amazing food and cocktails and friendly...

Amongst the glut of places to eat in Byron, Chihuahua stands apart. It’s a bit off the Main Street, so a bit more chill. Got a park directly outside (on NYE!!) It has an open front with louvre windows that catches a refreshing breeze. The decor is basic yet comfy. The background music was doof-ish but subdued, The food is so wonderfully suited to the climate and the drink menu perfectly matched. Even a simple beef taco with classic margarita is freshly made, beautifully presented and super delish! Go further for amazing local fish or pulled pork tacos with house cocktails and the day floats away in a blissful combo of delight. Almost forgot to mention the sides - the Mexico City fries were so good! The staff were very warm, friendly and accomodating. Not always possible to get food, service and atmosphere so well balanced in Byron (especially the service)....
