La Taquería is a casual Mexican restaurant serving classic like tacos, taquitos, burritos, quesadillas and nachos.

They have lots of delicious fillings like pork carnitas, carne asada, al pastor (and a planted version), pollo asado, shrimp, and even insects! The salsas are fresh and spicy, the margaritas generous.

Since I grew up in San Diego, I go here for a taste of home, usually ordering fish tacos and washing it down with Horchata.

Location: Badenerstrasse 138, 8004 Zürich & Altstetterstrasse 140a, 8048 Zürich

Best to reserve for dinner. It can book up a few days in advance, especially for weekends.
