Adore city centre La Taqueria, so was delighted when one opened on Ormeau Road. This is truly delectable Mexican food, and more vegan options have recently appeared, which mean greater variety for 'us lot' - hurrah!
Seitan tacos with vegan cheese (so good, they are heavenly) have lately appeared as a special. In addition menu staples such as oyster mushroom, prickly pear cactus and fire-roasted pepper tacos and quesadillas, along with a wickedly delicious guacamole starter are the main vegetarian/ vegan fixtures.
Cocktails are exquisite and the frozen margarita is quite possibly one of the best drinks on earth. Interior is relaxed, if a bit small/ cramped and I love the Mexican themed wall art and murals.
My only criticism is that it's an inconvenience to have to go to the counter to collect and pay for your bill - especially awkward when with a group and you have to stand about trying to work out what everyone owes. As La Taqueria are a table service restaurant it would be much easier if a bill could be left to a table first to be looked at before payment. Not quite sure why they don't do this.
Outside of this minor gripe, all I can say is - the food and cocktails are amazing - cheers to La Taqueria. read more
