Tacos Lindas

My son and I spotted this place when we were walking to the Thai restaurant down the street. We both immediately had the same thought: that’s our kind of place. You could tell at a glance they would have great tacos. The sign said: “Best tacos in town” and we believed it. We brought my husband there that night, (reluctantly, on his part), and he ended up loving it! We are vegans and my son and I are gluten-free. We always have to check menus before we go, and then double-check ingredients when we arrive. At Taco Linda’s, they offer mushroom tacos, pumpkin blossom and “corn truffle.” (It’s an overgrowth on the corn that’s considered a delicacy. It’s not pretty in photos, but it’s very tasty.) By the way, for those with celiac disease, I don’t know if there any wheat items on the menu or if cross-contamination could be an issue. So, make your own inquiries if you are highly sensitive. We’ve eaten there three times already because we love the tacos. It is probably the most authentic place we’ve eaten on any of our trips to Mexico. The mushroom tacos remind me of this incredible street taco I had in Sayulita. The tortillas taste light and fresh with a lovely hint of corn. A small portion of warm tortilla chips free with the meal. The toppings for the tacos set the place apart;🌵 cactus, onion, two kinds of salsa and sour cream. These toppings come on a tray so you can mix and match to your heart’s content. We skipped the sour cream and added a lot of cactus. We also loved the small bowl of warm pinto beans that came with the meal. These beans are delicious eaten alone or with the tacos. Service was great on all three visits. Our server spoke excellent English, but also willingly switched right over to Spanish for our son, who is fluent in Spanish. Food arrived quickly and he easily kept an attentive eye on everyone in the place. If you’re in the area and want authentic tacos, or truly the best tacos in town, Tacos Linda is the place to go.
