Get ready to gather up your amigos and dig into some of the best tacos in Edmonton!

We’ve rounded up the best spots in YEG you need to try at least once, whether it’s Cinco de Mayo or not.

Each restaurant has a stacked menu to choose from, so you must visit over and over again, right? Dive into some margs, order up some sides, but save room for the star of the show, whether it’s in a hard or soft shell.

Here are the six spots for some of the best tacos in Edmonton you need to try at least once.

El Mero Mero Taqueria

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.
