Taco Taco

Taco Taco, Epicurean Food Hall - Dublin 1.

I might as well start this blog with an establishment whose name was an inspiration. Taco Taco is a Mexican restaurant situated within the Epicurean Food Hall just along from the Ha'penny Bridge.

I absolutely love this restaurant. I have eaten here many times as it is very handy for where I live and fairly priced. The seating is in the main area of the food hall which means that it can get very busy at times, particularly on the weekends. The style of Taco Taco is probably best described as cheap and cheerful, you order at the counter and take a ticket and wait for your number to be called.

The variety of food is fairly standard Mexican fare. Burritos, nachos, tacos and enchiladas all feature along with some more unusual soups and filled rolls.

I have to say that I have never felt cheated on portion size in here - the burritos in particular are sizable enough to make a very generous lunch. This is Mexican food done in a simple and tasty way. I recommend the chorizo sausage burrito, crammed with chorizo sausage, refried beans, lettuce, salsa and cheese. It's also not the spiciest food in the world, fans of chilli would be wise to ask for additional jalepenos to give the heat desired.

Price range is very reasonable - €5.45 for a burrito.

Overall review - Well worth a visit, good food at reasonable prices.
