After a long day of being on the road for a tour, we wanted something quick and simple. While Spain is pretty far from Mexico and in Arizona, we know good Mexican food, the neon "Mexican Food" sign on the side of this place piqued our curiosity. It is nothing special inside and reminds me of a hole-in-the wall taco joint in a small town in AZ. I ordered a beer and two tacos and sat down to wait. The food arrived pretty quickly and it was surprisingly good. I had the Pirate and Pibil tacos. (note that these are "street taco" size and not "American size") I have no complaints about it: the price was reasonable, it was served quickly and it had great flavor. read more

Fantastic, fast tacos. I got... Pibil: Slow roasted pork marinated in achiote, topped with red onion Tinga: Chicken in a tomato and chipotle sauce, topped with lettuce Pirata: Seared fillet steak with melted cheese, topped with avocado Pastor: Marinated pork topped with onion, coriander, and pineapple Of these, Pirata was the standout. That melted cheese mixed with the steak sooooo well. The Pibil was also amazing. Pastor was a little weird because the pineapple was pretty hard. With the tacos costing 2.50€ or less, you can eat very well for very little money. If you want to blast your tacos with some salsa, they have 5 different flavors with escalating spice profiles. Nice touch. Taco Alto is very, very casual. It's the kind of place you go to grab a quick bite and keep moving. But if I were in the area and had a desire for a fast taco, I'd drop in again to try more flavors! read more

This is a cute little taco shop located in a touristy part of Barcelona. The employees were very friendly and welcoming to their guests. The place was clean and well kept. I liked that they had illustrations on the wall to represent each style of taco that they sold. My favorite was the pirata - steak with avocado and cheese. Very flavorful and tasty for a reasonable price! They were also super fast with our order. Would go here again if I find myself in this part of Barcelona in the future. read more

Best tacos in SPAIN!! AND THE WORLD probably BETTER THAN MEXICO. I've never had authentic tacos from Mexico so that's a reach but these babies are on another level. Order at least 3 because they're small, but they're pretty cheap. About 1.96-2.50€ for one. Definitely try the gringa - especially if you're from the states read more

I'm from the U.S., more specifically Southern California where you can find great tacos almost anywhere. These tacos are amazing, and a must try. Super affordable option and would recommend the 4 most sold tacos and a beer for €12.50. Can't get any better than that except their salsas. I had Number 3-5 and loved the spice level. No. 5 is tolerable if you love spicy food. Again, highly recommend. read more

I had the Pirata, safari, Tulum, & Sinaloa tacos. Each one had a distinct and great flavor. I think my personal favorite was the Safari with grilled chicken with bell peppers and onion. The chicken was very juicy and flavorful on its own which is sometimes not the case with taco joints like this. With that said, I'd easily recommend any of the tacos I had as they were all great. read more

Tried this place for the first time last week and it did not disappoint. I had 3 tacos which were all very good. And I soaked those down with a classic margarita, which was good but strong. My favorite part about this restaurant is there 5 levels of hot sauce. I tried the hottest one first and regretted it right away. But the 2nd hottest was just right, and I had that with my tacos which added a nice spice. Prices are decent; the most expensive one being 2.50 Euros. They also have different options for tacos; I had 3 but I will probably get 6 next time because the tacos do run small. Will certainly go back to try their nachos, which sound delicious. read more

The food market was uncomfortably packed with tourists and we contributed to this, it also had a mild sewage 3rd world whiff and at 34c it wasn't pleasant. The last time I got a pong like this was in Bangkok. I've no doubt we've also contributed to the fact that the price for food here has gone up noticeably, but not as exponentially as it will over the next few months if politicians aren't brave enough to cap energy price hikes amid obscene oil company profit scouring. Please don't hold any collective breath waiting on politicians of integrity. So we pulled out of the pongy crowded market and ambled the Rambles. Then the smell hit, pinched our noses and we were pleased. Garlic & chilli hit. And we just knew it was right on. So we followed our noses. We could see the wok master at his pyromaniac work from outside this small narrow place. A not enough room to swing a cat space. Mind you I can't think why anyone would want to treat a cat so. It was full of 20 and 30 somethings both those dining and those cooking. Intense gas heat, high flame, thin steel = little oil, rapid stir fry cooking of thin cut meats, vegetables and proper spice balance. Perfection. So the price is structured. I opted for thin noodles rather than rice, chicken as protein, cashew nuts for delicious texture, oyster mushrooms and beansprouts for taste and, of course, chilli spice. They add white onions, carrots and greens at no extra charge but I did say to go heavy on the fresh coriander at the end and they did. From start to paper carton it was a few brief minutes. €14.20 (£12.) and the serving was enough for two. 3 green stars. Wooden forks, spoons and paper tissues on site with narrow uncomfortable seating but great fresh cooked, hot tasty food. The oyster mushrooms and cashews sure pushed up the price but it was worth every cent particularly the cashews and honestly we didn't need the chicken. I noted that we passed many places offering all manner of paella - meat, fish, vegetarian but no smell not a whiff of garlic, frying onion so I avoid as I'm cynical enough to think it's pre frozen and microwaved food.
