The menu here is totally authentic, but even if you’ve never heard of one of the dishes here, the ingredients will make you crave it.
Tortilla chips are served with guac and chunky salsa and apps like Queso Fundido and Quesadillas, but there are also items like the Tamal Oaxaqueno. These are masa-filled flavour explosions with ingredients like chicken or poblano pepper in a cream sauce, all steamed inside a banana leaf.
This is one of the newest and best taco spots in Edmonton.
