The guide to Stockholm's best tacos

La Neta is many people's first choice when it comes to tacos. They were one of the first taquerías in Stockholm, and their tacos and quesadillas are made just like in Mexico. Come here for a quick dinner or lunch in pared-back surroundings.

Xulo serves traditional Mexican food, inspired by the street stands of Mexico, primarily from Jalisco, Yucatan, and Mazatlan. All tacos are served in corn tortillas that are vegan and gluten-free, with chopped onion, coriander, and two sauces, one red and one green, topped with various proteins. Food is also available for takeaway.

Tres serves tacos for both lunch and dinner, filled with all sorts of ingredients in various combinations. The decor is just as vibrant, with colourful neon signs, calaveras, and bunting creating the right Mexican feel. Combine with a frozen margarita or a shot of tequila if you're in a festive mood.

Yono Sabo combines classic bistro vibes with awesome street food and exciting drinks in a Los Angeles-inspired fusion of flavours from both Mexico and Asia. Naturally, tacos are a part of this, topped generously with tasty veg, meat, and sauces.

At Sofia Common, they combine the best of the flavoursome Mexican cuisine with American comfort food, made with really good ingredients. The restaurant is run by Austin Davis, who has his roots in the USA and Mexico. Come by whether you want to hang out at the bar for a beer or go all in on the tacos. 

In the heart of the city, near the Central station, is MXCO – a vibrant taqueria where authentic flavours from Mexico City take centre stage. The menu features tacos, tostadas, and small dishes from the sea, land, and plant kingdom. Their specialty is tacos al pastor, prepared on a rotating grill. In the rust-red venue, there's both an open kitchen and a bar serving cocktails with tequila and mezcal. Perfect for an after-work gathering or whenever you're craving tacos.

Tacos for all tastes can be found at K25: the modern food hall houses two different taco joints under one roof. Zócalo sticks to a more traditional Mexican style, while the menu at Nū follows the restaurant's Korean theme even when it comes to tacos. Prefer vegetarian? You've come to the right place – both offer plant-based options for all taco dishes.

Festive Yuc Mexican is a Mexican fusion eatery that aims to provide good food, well-balanced cocktails, personalised and relaxed service, as well as a lively and festive atmosphere – every day of the week. Their tacos are made with wheat tortillas and are filled with delightful ingredients such as meat, chicken, fish, halloumi, sauces, and vegetables.

Do you love “fucking good times”? Then you should head to Geronimo's FGT which is called just that, albeit a little cryptically. Beneath the arches in the Old Town, it's a lively spot with tacos, live music and margaritas. Don't miss their Taco Tuesdays when they lower the price and increase the size of their tacos.

At Maiz, Mexican food is made from scratch, with fresh ingredients, explosive flavours, and vibrant colours. The dishes are then shared around the table under the motto “Good food brings fantastic people together”. The source of inspiration is, unsurprisingly, the taquerías in Mexico. Choose from soft and crispy tacos, fajitas, tortillas, quesadillas, nachos, and birria tacos.

The team behind Dirty Taco thought it must be possible to take tacos to the next level and began experimenting with the format. The result was a bunch of tacos with flavours from around the world in varieties that can be made with meat, fish, poultry, and vegetarian fillings, topped with delicious sauces and fresh vegetables.

Taco Bar offers a menu that caters to everyone, focusing on Tex-Mex in the form of soft and crispy tacos, enchiladas, burritos, salads, and quesadillas. The menu also features their classics, which have remained the same since 1983. Among them, you'll find examples such as chilli, ribs, and nachos. Almost all dishes at Taco Bar can be made vegetarian, and vegan options are also available.

If you're craving fish tacos, you can enjoy them at Kungsfisk near the City Hall. This small restaurant serves fish dishes made with fresh ingredients, and the menu includes fish tacos served with fries and several other accompaniments. Sit down and eat in, or order your tacos as take away.
