Tacos, noodles and Indian street food - street food has struck back and these days you're just as likely to find such dishes in restaurants as on street stalls and kiosks. Plenty of food trucks have parked up their vans and opened up restaurants on the back of their reputations for great cooking. The ingredients may be higher quality, the flavours improved and the ideas updated, but the techniques are the same. Here are the gems worth seeking out in the jungle of Stockholm's street food scene.

Authentic Mexican
La Neta's aim is to serve genuine Mexican food, a world away from the pre-fab Tex-Mex the average Swede slings together on 'Taco Fridays'. This is the place to come for uncomplicated Mexican street food in an authentic taquería environment. You'll find Latin American classics such as tortillas, tacos and quesedillas with fillings such as slow-cooked beef chuck, beans, cheese and quacamole.

Mexican street food in a new guise
”Streetfood LA-style” – that's the result of the flavour experiments The Street Food Labs have been tinkering with to achieve their signature concept. Mexican street food classics combine with Asian and American flavours, resulting in new variations of burritos, bowls and tacos. Grab a takeaway, or tuck in on site with a refreshing beer or cocktail in your glass.

Vegetarian by actor duo
The concept is simple; vegan and vegetarian food with halloumi and falafel taking centre stage. Choose between wraps or salads with delicious sides and dippers. Actors Mahmut Suvakci and Joel Kinnaman, who also run the hamburger joint Lily's Burger, are the owners. Drop by and eat in the dining room, the outdoor dining area or buy something to take away.

Crispy Vietnamese
They're not afraid of flavour at Cong - just like in Vietnam. Choose from sandwiches, spring rolls, fresh salads, shellfish and tofu dishes. Perfect for sharing around the tables so everyone can enjoy the range of flavours and textures Vietnamese cuisine provides: acidic, spicy, sweet and crispy. Combine with a Singaporean Tiger beer and you'll be transported far from Stockholm - sensorially, at least.
