While trying to kill time towards our sagrada familia tour- we went in- randomly- to have a light meal. I ordered the shrimp tacos (without refried beans and bacon); my husband had the chicken tacos. We both liked our food. The protein for both of us was tasteful and moist. It was nice to just be able to walk in and find a seat- were served pretty quickly. Staff was friendly and efficient! Please was cute- inside and outside!
Loved the food and drinks but loved our service even more! All the salsas had great flavor and decent heat!
Amazing Mexican food, cheap and down to earth awesome food. Loved every about this down to earth Mexican restaurant. Great drinks, for those that love margarita the hibiscus margarita is amazing. The beers are cheap! Overall a 5 star restaurant no doubt.
Located minutes away from the Sagrada Familia, the La Taqueria was a dope authentic Mexican eatery. Although it looks small, they have a huge back room that could accommodate our large group of 10+. We ordered the nachos la cúcara which was fresh tortilla chips topped with cheese, refried beans, pico de gallo and jalapeños with a sour cream drizzle. The nachos were honestly top tier. They also had a cool assortment of drinks and sodas to chose from. My favorite part however was the assortment of salsas and hot sauce they brought to our table on the side. They were super flavorful and definitely enhanced the dining experience. I highly recommend stopping by La Taqueria in Barcelona, especially if checking out the Sagrada Familia.
This place is located down the street from La Sagrada Familia. It is a good representation of Mexican food. We got an assortment of tacos and they didn't disappoint. My favorite was the assortment of sauces they provided, habanero being my favorite sauce. The servers are nice and the restaurant itself has a decent amount of seating.
Ask for Renee he is amazing! Great service! Great food Lovely ambiance And I made friends! ( I felt like home )
Cute little taco place that was on a side street by our house. It had a small inside so be sure to go when it's not to busy the staff was super friendly and easy to work with since we didn't speak English. I highly recommend if going with friends all order a different taco (since you get 4 of the same kind) and sharing. We did that and it worked out nicely.
Located right next to la sagrada familia, this please is full of tourists but the food is pretty good! I had the aracherra plate. It was basically marinated skirt steak topped with some grilled cactus and served with small bowl of beans, grilled jalapeno, some rice, guacamole and some warm tortillas - the whole shabang! It didn't disappoint.. There was a lot of flavors. I would order it again! Btw, it was a lot of food! 4 hot sauces are served here and GEEZ they are spicy! Maybe my taste buds have reverted back to baby status after living in France (the land of ZERO spice) for the last year, but you have been warned! Nothing like a drenched sweaty face during dinner =) Michelada's were good. I'd be back. My only complaint is that you can order plates of 4 tacos and they have to be the same meat. Why not??
Great, fast, fresh Mexican food! Make a reservation if you can, small place that filled up fast once we sat down for our 8pm reservation. Salsas and guacamole were delicious and a good selection (verde, medium spice, very spicy) Wish I had longer in Barcelona to go back!
Loved this taco shop very close to Sagrada Família. They have a good selections of meats to choose from. Downfall is that you can't mix and match your meats. You have to get the same meat and they come in plates of four so two plates is almost too much for one person to eat (but debatable haha) I got the pastor tacos, they were tasty, the salsas made them extra good. Thy bring out a salsa plate with limes on it for the table to share. Little pricey for street tacos but it was a cool experience in a nice part of town.
If you're looking for a taco in Barcelona, stop. A little nook of a taco restaurant, la taqueria provides the atmosphere and taquerian cuisine you could only expect to find at a taco stand off a street corner in the port city of Veracruz. Undeniable flavor and genuine texture French kiss on the plate and can only make you say, "Cada uno busca su propia cebolla para llorar." (Everyone looks for their own onion to cry). A masterclass 5/5.
it's an Ok place if you are around... not a place that you would look for it., The service was ok. I found this place as I was walking out from the sagrada familia. The location is good, the mexican flag while yo are walking in Spain capture your attention. Is just a small nice place to eat something and keep going. read more

I went all the way to Barcelona... for Mexican food? After walking the La Sagrada Família, we stumbled upon this little gem. Place is very small but filled with great food. Recommend you make a reservation. We happened to get lucky and were sat after maybe 10 or so minutes. It's packed but not with tourists, which you would think seeing it's so close to a tourist attraction. Beer and tequila, no wine, which was fine. Food was absolutely great. Reminded me of the Mexican food back in California. Tacos are small -- street tacos. Just the way a taco should be in my opinion. However, they should move to a bigger location which was the only thing keeping me from 5 stars. It's very small. read more

Stopped for the street tacos and they definitely hit the spot! Meat was tender and well seasoned. Added an agua de guayaba to complement the flavors. A must stop to satisfy your Tex Mex taste buds! read more

Located near the Sagrada Família. This place was so tasty! They bring a platter of salsas and limes to add on top of any meal. The salsas had a varied degree of spice. I had the chicken tacos and they were so good. I also enjoyed a mango margarita which tasted very fresh. The decor inside is super cute, too! read more

The Mexican food struggle in Europe is real, but you can trust all the other reviews by proud Californians - La Taqueria is legit. After an oversupply of Spanish olive oil and tomatoes, this place was like heaven. It's literally 30 secs from La Sagrada Familia, but you wouldn't know it because it's tucked away on a super quiet side street. Tacos al pastor were juicy, flavorful, DELICIOUS. Bean soup was absolutely yummy. Agua frescas were solid, and the fresh lime & salsas were free. Service was not the best - they brought us the wrong dish, forgot the soup, then served said soup lukewarm. At 2pm, they almost didn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation (???) but in the end said it was fine if we stayed an hour max (easy). It's also pricey for the portions. But it's real Mexican and that makes it all worth it. read more
Look let's just get this out of the way now - I don't like tapas. I've just honestly never understood the appeal. To me, they are just a food that comes in tiny portions, are normally overpriced and that, no matter how much you eat, usually leave you feeling somehow a little unsatisfied. So obviously, Barcelona isn't an ideal city for me food-wise, given that it's a Spanish tradition. Luckily even while excluding tapas from the equation, I still had found a way to find foods that I liked in Barcelona for the most part. However, as much as I enjoyed trying seafood paella, churros etc. while in Spain, as a California native who had been traveling through Europe for just over three weeks, there was only one thing I was craving like no other: Mexican food. So when we had a few hours to kill around lunchtime before going on our Sagrada Familia tour, I gave it a shot and looked up "Mexican" on yelp. To my surprise, La Taqueria came up as the first result, had great ratings, and was only a short walk away (5 minutes). I knew there would be no stopping me now. So when I walked over and saw that the place didn't open until 1pm, I was anything but fazed, even though it was only half past 12, as I was more than happy to sit and wait outside the restaurant. Even as my friend, unable to stand the wait, went off to grab food at a nearby restaurant, I held strong for the full 30 minutes, even as my hunger started to really kick in. This was just too good of an opportunity to pass up. So was it worth it? Hell yeah. Kicked it off with the guacamole, which I had been craving for weeks, then went for the Tacos al Pastor. I literally STILL remember how tender the meat was - definitely a great recommendation by the waiter. I'd eat that all day. Funny enough, whoever said the food reminded them of "taco truck food" was spot on in retrospect, because that's exactly how the food was prepared, except in a sit-down restaurant. The tacos, almost unequivocally, are similar to the kind you'd get out of a classic California taco truck: Simple soft tacos that consist mainly of fresh meat, with a dash of cilantro and onions - and taste great with a squeeze of lime. But guess what? Taco trucks are dope, and that's exactly how I felt about the food at La Taqueria. The place definitely isn't perfect (very small, unusual hours - who doesn't open until 1pm for lunch?, don't serve tap water - so you need to overpay for a tiny bottle of water), but the food makes up for it. Plus, you can't beat their location. And it can't even be properly quantified how difficult it is to find good, authentic Mexican food in Europe (aka the place Mexican restaurants go to die). Seriously though, twice on this trip I've seen people order nachos at restaurants just to get served what looked like DORITOS. Yup. Here on the other hand, I'm confident that if I ordered the nachos, that's what I'd get - real, authentic nachos. This place might only get 3.5/4 stars at home, but in Barcelona, this was easily one of the best meals I had. read more

My friends and I have searched high an low to find decent Mexican here in Barcelona, and this place is defiantly one of the best. Its a very chilled out place with very friendly staff. The food is very authentic (i.e. not tex-mex). The nacho's were fairly good and came with beans, chili's, cheese, onion etc as the standard topping. The food is served on plastic plates along with a variety of sauces. Just be careful of the spicy salsa's as they are very very spicy (much to the amusement of my friends) read more

First.... it does not matter if its true to tradition or not, the Tacos Al Pastor were good. Now, for what really disappointed me: Simply put, the guacamole had to have been store bought. The guacamole they serve has a "fluffing" agent (ingredient) which devastates the avocados. It truly sickens me when I find this type of "guacamole" in restaurants. Especially in a region where avocados seem to be so readily available (even Hass). I just find that there is no excuse for doing this and the starter really distracted from the excellent Tacos Al Pastor. It should also be noted that the chips are your typical (an not very good) store bought variety. I would also highly recommend making a reservation before going as they seemed to be nearly unable to accommodate those who did not have them. read more
