As a Californian, and food lover, the absolute last thing I thought we'd eat during our first visit to Paris was Mexican food. But after stumbling upon Itacate while wandering away from the throngs of tourist Louvre in search of a bite, we rolled the Mexican dice. They offer a few outdoor tables but it was still too chilly so we headed upstairs where there's about 10 tables in 2's and 4's. The space is modern, clean and slightly upscale for a "taqueria" and it just gives off a good vibe. You walk by the open kitchen on your way through so all the wares are out on display...usually a good sign. The super nice staff are all polyglots so you can order in French, Spanish or English and they'll happily entertain anything lost in translation on the menu. We honestly had super low expectation but were impressed with the menu so we ordered the Cubano torta, tacos w/chorizo, al pastor & carnitas. First comes the salsa dish...and I've always thought you can judge a Mexican restaurant based on the quality of the salsa...and holy moly its legit!! Everything that followed was really, REALLY good. Seriously no joke good. On par with many killer joints back in CA. The MUST try is the chorizo, trust me. And had a lovely conversation with the owner/chef on our way as curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to know their story. Yup they're from Mexico. Well there you go. Mexican chef marries a Frenchman and sets up shop in Les Halles. In a sea of endless, seemingly generic cafés, this place sticks out and is def worth a try!

Such a great find! I live in California and this was really great Mexican food. Better than what I get at home in "authentic" Mexican restaurants. Margaritas are yummy. It was a trip highlight! Spanish and French are welcome. Thoroughly enjoyed! Cute little place that was quite busy after a long day at the Louvre. Not a very long walk. Quick Uber away. Highly recommend if you love Mexican food and will eat it in any county! Service was great. Our waiter didn't speak very good English, but I don't speak very good French. But I speak more Spanish. It all worked out! Thanks, Itacate!

Much needed beer after a long day!

Lovely little Mexican. Tacos and tortillas hit the spot. Menu is quite small but perfectly formed. Always busy but they will squeeze you in if they have space.

First of all, the server was amazing-He was from Puebla, Mexico and was very helpful and friendly. The food was great and they were able to accommodate a mid size group with kids. The carne Arachera was good but it tastes different if you are from Mexico or California. The reasons why we did not give it a 5 start was because the Horchata was not good at all. It's really hard to get Horchata wrong, but other than that it was great! Also, they have Jarritos which was dope! Lastly, the bathrooms were pretty dirty. Overall, the food was great and service was amazing. Props to the guy from Puebla who said he had only six months in Paris. Also, we loved that we were able to sit outside with a mid size group!

Two el pastor and two carnitas and a champignons taco and a beef one. Guac in the center.

To be consistent, since I gave Candelaria (another taco joint) 5 stars last week, itacate gets 4. Taste wise, itacate lacks a little bit of spice and the fact that I have to add the spices on my own makes it a little less delicious. I like it when the chefs do the work! Ordered the. Two types of pork tacos, the marinated pork is better than the shredded pork. Make sure you add the pineapple and the line they give you on the side. 5 tacos for 14 euros is a good deal actually. The mushroom taco is just mushrooms and nothing else. The margarita for 5 euros is delicious but it's too small!!! The service was excellent and lots of attention paid to us - something you can't expect from Candelaria. Overall delicious and will stop by if I'm in the way but probably won't make a night out of it!

If you're craving Mexican food, come here. The waiters are super friendly and helpful. The guacamole is huge and tastes fresh. I got the four tacos with a side of rice and beans. If you like your tacos spicy make sure to ask for the spiciest hot sauce they have. The best taco was the one with the meat and pineapples. Remember that you can get small side of guacamole with your tacos so you don't have to get the huge order if you only want a little bit of guac.
