Taco Queen
This vibrant taqueria brings authentic Mexican street food to the leafy streets of Abbeville Village. The corn tortillas are made fresh daily, while the al pastor is carved from a proper trompo for maximum authenticity.
About Taco Queen
## Street Food Revolution
Taco Queen has transformed a former café space into a slice of Mexico City, complete with hand-painted tiles, neon signs, and the intoxicating smell of charring meat. The open kitchen lets you watch tortillas being pressed to order while marinades bubble away on the plancha.
## Authentic Flavours
The al pastor here is the real deal, carved from a vertical spit with pineapple crowning the top just like in Mexico. Carnitas fall apart at the touch of a fork, while the vegetarian options include proper rajas con crema rather than token afterthoughts. Don't miss the elote – Mexican street corn that'll make you question why we ever settled for plain corn on the cob.
## Mezcal and Margaritas
The drinks menu takes its agave spirits seriously, with a rotating selection of mezcals that'll educate your palate. Margaritas come properly prepared with fresh lime juice and quality tequila, not the synthetic green stuff that haunts chain restaurants.
## Village Vibes
Despite the authentic Mexican credentials, Taco Queen fits perfectly into Abbeville Village's community spirit. Families pile in for early dinners while couples linger over mezcal flights. The communal tables encourage conversation, making it feel more like a neighbourhood fiesta than a restaurant.
