I am going to give them 4 stars and here is why. We had the hardest time finding food with flavor in Switzerland other than curry or Chinese places. So this little taco shop was so good to us after 3 weeks. The carnitas were better than the beef. The churros were really really small and I expected the chocolate to be Swiss Chocolate but it almost tasted like american Hershey’s chocolate syrup. I did not like the Chocolate sauce. The tacos were small but we went on Tuesday which is taco Tuesday buy 2 get one free which made it more economical. All the complaints about price means the people must not be from Zurich because like other posts say you cannot find inexpensive food in Zurich it doesn’t exist we looked. We are a family of 6 yeah it wad our main mission to find inexpensive food. The meat was juicy and flavorful, the sauces were spicy but just right and the only complaint other than the chocolate sauce is their tortillas are not homemade. The yelp map sent us to the wrong place, google maps wasn’t exactly correct either but you will find it and it is worth it. I couldn’t request an edit because I didn’t have WiFi on my phone at the time.

Best Mexican food in all of Zurich. The location is a little hidden in Altstetten and might be out of your way if you are visiting the city but it is definitely worth the trip. The food is closest to California style tex-mex. Someone told me the owner loved this style so much from his travels that he opened this place so he could have it here in Zurich (maybe just an urban myth). I recommend you order the chicken burrito - make sure you ask for extra cheese - absolutely delicious. I also used to love the churros with chocolate sauce but they recently swapped to a caramel one which I am less fond of. The vibe of the restaurant is very chill and instagramable, although limited in space so best to reserve. You can also order take away but I think they suffer from their success and it's a bit of a lottery if it will be available on the day.

We’ve been here multiple times and the food is always good. However, the service could be improved. We got there around 17:00 on a Tuesday evening and were told all the tables have been reserved and they then placed us at a table directly in the sun. Up until we left about 80% of the other tables remained empty… If there are reservations for 20:00, why can that table not be used for someone coming at 17:00? It was burning hot that day and we ate quickly so we could leave. Also, the server got our order wrong and we received the wrong dish. We also saw inside the building many employees just sitting around and it was hard to get anyone’s attention. We really do enjoy the food there but the service could definitely be improved.

A gem of a spot offering some of the best tacos in Zurich! Located in a quiet corner of Altstetten, they have a large outdoor seating area (perfect for summer) and indoor area. The restaurant has an array of different Mexican cuisine dishes but I haven’t ventured away from their tacos! It’s hard to find a place in Zurich that can make the corn tortillas well, but La Taqueria does! Staff are friendly and attentive, and the vibes here are top. The WC decor is also special. Be prepared and book reservation in advance (we’ve been turned away as walk-ins more than once) or go before the rush (before 18:00) and maybe they can fit you in before their reservations. Highly recommend!

Super excited to come across this affordable taco shop in Zurich! Not only do they have a variety of tacos, but also burritos or platter of meat choice with beans and rice. We ordered 3 tacos each and I must say I tried the "chapulines " ((crispy grasshoppers)) wow, crunchy like bacon bits, loved it! Also recommend the "carnitas" great pork cooked just like back in Mexico. Place nicely decorated and the staff is very friendly. Lots of outdoor seating as well as inside, clean WC upstairs. Thank you for having such a wonderful delicious taco joint out here in Switzerland! Definitely recommend this place!

Authentic, delicious Mexican food (at least in our opinion). We really enjoyed the comfy outdoor seating and overall atmosphere. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. My husband had 3 different tacos which were delicious especially the one containing fish. I had the taquitos con pollo, but would not order them again and get tacos instead. For dessert we had churros and tres leche cake, which both tasted fabolous. All in all a very pleasant experience and worth a visit if you are in the area. They get very busy, so definitely recommend to reserve beforehand via OpenTable 😉
