Taqisa Mexican Food - Sanur — Restaurant in Denpasar Selatan

For context, I lived in Mexico for 3 years and ate a lot of tacos. These are, probably the closest to real Mexican street tacos I've had outside of Mexico. Except maybe in San Diego or LA. Maybe.

The only thing I would change about the street tacos here would be having a little less beef, (just a little less) and adding a little guacamole on each taco. Guacamole first, then the hot sauce. Also the onions should be cut smaller. But im really getting technical. If you've never been to Mexico, these are basically legitimate mexican street tacos. I was presently surprised. A lot of people try and fail at this. Taqisa got it right.

The nachos were also really good. Again, they could use some avocado chunks or guacamole. (there seems to be a little, maybe but not much) Also i would have gone with refried beans as opposed to black beans. but other wise, fantastic.

I definitely recommend this restaurant.

Uodate: We came back today. Had tacos al pastor, a fish taco, horchata, and those awesome nachos again.

The pork in the al pastor tacos was perfect. They put the guacamole on the tacos perfectly. The onions were cut small. They were almost perfect. Then they put pineapple in the tacos. 😂 I'm sure islanders like pineapple in everything, but no Mexican is putting pineapple in al pastor. If you plan to keep doing that, please change its name on the menu. Aside from that, the tacos were perfect. The correct thing would be to add a splash of lime on top or leave a lime wedge on the plate so people can add it themselves.

The horchata was fantastic. It could be watered down a little bit. It's very strong, but the recipe is right, and it...

I came in for dinner on a Tuesday night (taco Tuesday!) and TLDR: the food was superb. I'm from CA and yes, these tacos passed the test! The carnitas were my favorite, though the chorizo, carne asada, and Al pastor tacos were also delicious. I was also thrilled that they had horchata (a rice milk drink with cinnamon and spices, if you've never tried it you should!) - such a perfect accompaniment for the tacos. My dinner companions had margaritas and the 'baja' fish tacos and we're very satisfied.

"Why not five stars?" you ask. Well, firstly, it took over 5 minutes for someone to acknowledge that we had sat down. It was my first time there so I didn't know if they had waiters or if you were supposed to go directly to the cashier and no one said anything. The restaurant was PACKED so they may have been out of practice, but still you need to greet your guests. Secondly, I went for the taco Tuesday deal that everyone (you can see in the previous reviews) talked about - 15k/taco. When I ordered (at the register) and saw the price on the screen I asked why they were full price and I was told that they were no longer doing that promo. I went ahead and got the tacos at full price. But then after my dinner companions finished ordering they told me that they had gotten a deal for two tacos and a margarita! Why hadn't the cashier told me about other promos that were available when the one I wanted had been decommissioned? I totally would've had a margarita. I was a little disappointed.

In the end I'd definitely get tacos again, but I would ask first if there are any promos I need...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Taqisa in Sanur, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! The quesadillas were perfectly grilled with a generous filling, and the nachos were loaded with all the right toppings—cheese, salsa, guacamole, and more! Each bite was a burst of flavors that left me craving for more.

While the burrito didn't quite meet my expectations, the fantastic quesadillas and nachos more than made up for it. Taqisa truly excels in crafting delectable Mexican delights that tantalize the taste buds.

The service was okay and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff was happy to answer any questions and made sure we had everything we needed.

If you're a taco enthusiast like me, Taqisa is a must-visit spot in Sanur! The fantastic quesadillas and nachos alone make it worth the visit. So, if you find yourself in Sanur, don't miss the opportunity to savor the flavors of Mexico at Taquisa. I'll definitely be coming...
