Mexican cuisine has given us something that is now an integral part of Swedish culture – tacos. Stockholm's restaurants have tacos for both the traditionalist and the modern taco lover, from authentic Mexican flavours to innovative interpretations and fusion. Exactly what belongs and doesn't belong in a taco is debatable, but most will agree that flavourful sauces and crunchy vegetables are welcome touches, as is guacamole. We've gathered together the restaurants that serve Stockholm's best tacos, with different variations of the beloved Friday night classic.
Stockholm's best tacos
Early taquería
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.

From Mexico to Korea
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.

Taco Tuesdays
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.

Mexican sharing concept
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.
