Probably the best tacos I've eaten in Sydney. Not probably...definitely.
Cantina Movil recently underwent renovations at their HQ on Glebe Point. They got rid of that cute truck-shaped bar, and instead created an open bar space with stools. The new layout looks pretty slick and contemporary. To be honest, their old layout was very charming and almost romantic. But this is Glebe, and there's so much competition, so if they want do a Madonna now and then, I'm okay with it.
ANYWAY....The menu is small, but what they make...they make really well.
I recommend ordering their 3 for $10 tacos, and downing them with some good ol' fashioned Tequila...ahem I mean Corona. The tacos are small, and on soft tortillas (which have a very homemade flavor to them!). They come with the filling of your choice, crisp cabbage, queso fresco (THE BEST!), and a lime/orange dressing which I can't quite place but might be the marinade.
I strongly recommend getting the guacamole add-on. And if you're a little more adventurous, ask them to add the habanero (but tell them to put only a little, or you'll be breathing fire through your butt for a week!).
This might also be one of the healthier alternatives too. Unless you order the burrito. Only order the burrito if you are HUNGRY. I mean, that thing is massive. Just don't be a prick and order the Burrito Desnudo (naked burrito) because then that's just a salad and you can get that anywhere. The soft corn tortillas are fantastic, and carbs are good for you.
I disagree with general consensus that this is "cheap" takeout. This is premium takeout food, and is not really cheap (except for the 3 for $10 tacos, which I think are available on a certain weekday).
Staff are generally pretty friendly, but they often seem short staffed. read more
