I don't like to post a bad review but this one is really mixed. This used to be our favorite Taco place in Penticton. Been eating here for years. I sent some friends here earlier in the season and they are not coming back. It's under new management now. Lots of great upgrades for sure as it was always very "basic". We ordered 4 Carne Asada tacos with two Coronas. The bill was just under $50.00! These are small street tacos with just meat, you can get their version of Salsa or a hot sauce on the side. (They actually offered 3 different add ones, tried all three and were unremarkable) The meat was truly excellent, full of flavor and well cooked. The gal that helped us could not be any friendlier at all! Full of smiles and eager to please. My only issue is the price for what you get. I seriously had to go to lunch right after as we were still hungry. For a $50.00 lunch you Want to be full. We can eat lunch at "Zias" for less... Perhaps the summer cliental has become very affluent? read more

Amazing Mexican food! The vibe is pure Mexican and I felt I was there today. Support local and eat here read more

Best taco's I've ever had. Very friendly staff, sweet location just off the lake. The staff are super friendly and great at what they do. Would def drive from Kelowna to Penticton again with out hesitation. Great atmosphere with the patio they have. I'd suggest going early as they sell out fast. I also love that they don't waste food like many companies do these days. Once they run out you gotta wait til the next day. But worth the wait if you ask me. read more

Our favorite tacos in town. Super yummy! Their Pico de Gallo is fantastic. Make sure to check the hours before you go. read more

Tacos del Norte - a tray of food with a side of salsa - Mexican Near Me - Penticton, British Columbia

just okay. as someone who is lucky enough to get good authentic mexican food, i thought the tacos were just alright. nothing special. meat was super salty and had the taste of those taco seasoning packets you can get at the supermarket. read more

I ended up at Tacos del Norte when the restaurant we'd planned on going to was unexpectedly closed. Luckily this turned out to be a good thing! If the restaurant wasn't bright yellow, you might miss it. It is a tiny, order-at-the-counter affair hidden in what appears to be a back alley. Seating is pretty limited with 5 or 6 picnic tables outside on either side of the building. They seem to do a lot of takeout orders. Tacos del Norte has a fairly small menu. While I was disappointed that they didn't have any vegetarian tacos, I was more than happy to try their quesadillas. After ordering, we only had to wait 10-15 minutes for our food to be brought to us and it was exactly what I needed on a hot summer day. The quesadillas were stuffed full of peppers and cheese. There's nothing quite like a beer and spicy food while the sun is beating down from above. Tacos del Norte was one of the most pleasant surprises from my trip to the Okanagan. If you're looking for good, simple food, this is the place for you. read more

Excellent!!! One of each. Just after some grumpy guy that has clearly never eaten a taco before came in and returned his food because the tortilla split, I thought it prudent to leave a 5 star review. We we very very happy! read more

A must try for those of you that are taco lovers! New owners and new authentic Mexican Tacos. Staff are friendly and helpful and always making sure you are happy. Their Friday specials Are terrific and so tasteful. read more

The service was fast, the tacos were amazing. Everything abt it was to die for. A bit pricey but definitely worth it

**3.5 stars** This cute little yellow shack looks like it would belong in a tropical touristy area but hey I happened to be in Penticton so I was glad it was there! It has the feel of a food truck in Austin, TX with its fun yellow picnic tables outside. The 3 tacos are not the largest portion but are very tasty and the flour tortilla was fresh and perfectly toasted. They also have a corn tortilla option. The pork taco was nice and smoky, the beef was paired with a yummy mango (I think) sauce/chutney and the chicken was solid. They have good local beer offerings from Cannery Brewing and Bad Tattoo Brewing. Next time I'm back in town, I'll have to try the prawn and cod tacos! read more

Great tacos!! Friendly service! We were hungry and it was the afternoon and many places were closed. We drove by and decided to try. Thank you so much. Perfect spot for a lovely warm day. read more

Come on guys.... Need to step it up a bit. I've had some amazing tacos in Oliver so a bit spoiled; however, I would be doing my research. I Stopped in to pick up some lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful but I did not enjoy the tacos. I tried each one. They were pretty dry and not a lot of taste. The cheese was burnt and stuck to the taco. I asked for sour cream but must have forgotten. I really really wanted to enjoy these tacos. I am hoping a few changes will make it awesome. Thank you. read more

Awesome authentic tacos. Very friendly staff. Small and cozy. Everything locally produced. Perfect for taco fix Downside: no sour cream or hard shell read more

First of all, I LOVE Mexican food, especially tacos. This is a taco stand (hole in the wall). Great selection of local micro brew beers. Just 2 blocks down the street, which have to checked out (bad tattoo brewing). Portions were good, fresh ingredients, and fast service. Only a few chairs inside and a few picnic tables outside. Only one employee working, but still good service. A must stop if you're hungry in the area or just thirsty. read more

See all

Overpriced. Food is nothing special - just braised meats from slowcockers - on tortillas..

This is the first taco place that I've ever seen take more than 60 minutes to make tacos. Unbelievably slow food, not in a good way. read more

Sorry. Wanted to like it. Over priced. Dry tortillas. Lots of cabbage. Meat was very bland and dry. These tacos should be $1.99. Stay away.

Delicious food, friendly staff and VERY dog friendly!! Such a treat! They even have yummy margaritas. The quesadillas are really just veggies tacos...I often prefer veggie food like bean tacos and they don't have beans..but the chicken was yummy and the quesadillas are a good option for vegetarians. The only reason I'm not giving 5/5 stars is because it was overpriced for street style tacos! Would recommend and will go back next time we drive through town. read more

Had the beef, cod, and pawn tacos. This place is amazing. I'm from Vancouver, which is known for good food. (Not bragging , just informing where my opinion/palette comes from). So when I say this place is a MUST stop, please do so. The owner is friendly, relaxed and knows his flavours. The best I had was the prawn tacos. Perfect amount of heat, spice and flavourful. And it's not expensive either. It was so good I ordered 2 prawns to go for the 10 min walk home. I have no affiliations with this place. (Something I always wonder about these reviews) read more

This place is a joke. We ordered two orders of the fish tacos (2 small tacos each) and it came to $30. The tacos were tiny, the amount of fish we were given was so small we could barely taste it. It's essentially a cabbage taco. Not enough meat, no tomatoes, no cheese, no sour cream, no jalapeños, no home made chips (they're just selling Tostitos). We wanted to ask for our money back. What a rip off, we will never eat there again. read more

Average. Not very tasty. No sour cream available. For the amount of time we had to wait I expected a five star food. Would only go if you crave tacos. read more

Very fresh, super tasty tacos. Beef, pork and grilled fish were absolutely perfect. And excellent, customizable spice. Definitely recommended for your next visit to Penticton. read more

Excellent tacos. More than just slow cooked meat on tortillas. There is an excellent selection of different tacos. Fish, shrimp, pork, beef, chicken all done differently with toppings like peanut sauce, cabbage, radish, pineapple, cilantro, coconut, and savoury hot sauce. We have sampled tacos in a lot of places, this is one of the best we've had. read more

Amazing tacos here for a small town. They are always changing up the menu and trying new items. Their chicken satay tacos are a highlight but haven't had a bad one there yet. In the summer you can enjoy them on their outside patio. Highly recommend!!! read more

Have eaten here a number of times and have to say the tacos are great. I go for the beef or chicken but they also have veggie and pork. Two tacos make for a great meal and a great price. You can't go wrong read more
