    My friend and I had lunch here completly by chance, but I'm glad we did. Such a good location on…read moreKarl Johan (the main street in Oslo city center) can often be a bad sign, chain restaurants with meeeh food, but this was not the case. We walked past just as they were opening on a beautiful Friday, and obviously got a seat right away since we were the first people there. It was a warm day so we sat outside in the sun. They also have some tables inside, and it looked hip inside, and appropriate for the cuisine. I decided on the chicken tacos, and my friend got the beef cheek tacos. We also got guacamole and tortilla chips to share as a starter. We got the quac and chips very quickly. We're not sure the chips were made in-house or not, but they were easily a step up from store bought. The guacamole was delicious and creamy. Our tacos arrived just a few minutes later. You get two tacos for a little over 100NOK, which I think is a great price for Norway, and a pleasant surprise considering the location. We were both very happy with our tacos. They were delicious and well balanced. My only complaint is mine was a bit heavy on the oregano, but my friend said hers were perfect. For us this was enough for lunch, but if you're a big eater you want want to go for more than just two tacos. We also got the homemade lemonade, which I LOVED. Not too sweet, not too sour, juuuuust right. I just wish it cost a little bit less, but it's not as bad if you share. The two waiters we dealt with were both polite and attentive, and didn't have that 'I hate my life and job' vibe that I often get in the big cities. They were basically the perfect waiters. Even now, almost a week since my visit, I can't stop thinking about my tacos and I can't wait to go back on my next visit to Oslo! Highly recommended for lunch.

    I'm going with the solid 3 star trend this restaurant seems to hold. I should have known Norway…read morewouldn't be popular for its Mexican food but sometimes when your craving a taco your stomach beats your head. Location & Decor: 5 stars- located along the shops and other restaurants in Oslo this area is busy busy. Lots of tourists and things to see. It was a surprisingly hot day so we opted to sit inside despite how you their covered patio was outside. The inside decor was adorable. Very pop art feel, trendy yet casual it had a good vibe. Service: 4 stars- our waiter was friendly. He was knowledgable of the menu and took our order quick. Only reason to dock a star was that we ordered the guac & chips appetizer but he brought it out with our tacos. Defeated the whole propose of ordering it. He was nice, apologized, and recognized that he forgot to bring it earlier but I would have preferred he asked if we still wanted it instead of bringing it late and charging us full price. Tacos: Meh, a solid 3 stars to be generous. We couldn't decide so we split the fried lobster taco and the asada taco. The proteins and toppings alone were pretty good, the asada marinade was smoky and who doesn't like fried lobster? The issue truly is the tortillas, cold, bland, flour tortillas-you can tell just by looking at the pictures. A big no no! Tasted mediocre and ruined what could have been good. Also the cost is steep for what you get. Guac & salsa was bland and runny. Overall despite the fun atmosphere I wouldn't call those tacos. I think if they changed up their taco shells/tortillas they would have something really wonderful with their fried lobster. Just a suggestion.
