TacoMex — Restaurant in Hamilton

If you’re looking for authentic tacos, make sure to check this place out!

A small shop across McMaster campus, the owner is a lovely Mexican lady who is just a delight to talk to.

My boyfriend and I were sooo hungry so we ordered a little too much food but it was all worth it.

We got the quesabirria, chicken, beef, and brisket tacos. The tacos are 3pcs per order, packed with protein and double corn tortillas 🥲 (pretty rare nowadays). Each order also came with birria soup!

They make their hot sauces in house too which are a must!

If you ever wondered what they drink in Mexico, you’ll find them here. They make horchata, piña colada, agua de tamarindo, Jamaica (hibiscus), and a drink similar to mojito - all non alcoholic. She gave me samples for all of them and they were all delicious.

I’m disappointed I didn’t take any pictures, but now more the reason to return :)

If you’re a McMaster student, you are granted a discount so make sure to check this place out and support...

I just finished my order an hour ago and I needed to add a review. Popped in and grabbed a shredded steak and beef tacos to go, lovely service and a nice well packed to-go container with all the fixings/toppings on the side.

The tacos themselves were top notch. Portions like you wouldn't believe and an incredible amount of flavour. I just grabbed 2 as a quick test but I will 100% be coming back for a full order.

I think the only negative if I could come up with anything is the onion and cilantro is mixed together, I'd prefer them separated cause I'm a big fan of cilantro and could use a bit more on each taco.

I haven't done many Google reviews, so how good do you think it is if I had to rush out to make sure I put this one up?...

I love their food however last night I ordered through UberEats some tortas and they were way too greasy. Tasted great though. At night we were in so much pain for all that excess of oil. Tortas do not have to be greasy whatsoever. Next time if I order again could I call the restaurant and ask not to make them greasy? Is that a thing? Other than that I think this food is really close to what actual mexican food...
