My friend and I had lunch here completly by chance, but I'm glad we did. Such a good location on…read moreKarl Johan (the main street in Oslo city center) can often be a bad sign, chain restaurants with meeeh food, but this was not the case.
We walked past just as they were opening on a beautiful Friday, and obviously got a seat right away since we were the first people there. It was a warm day so we sat outside in the sun. They also have some tables inside, and it looked hip inside, and appropriate for the cuisine.
I decided on the chicken tacos, and my friend got the beef cheek tacos. We also got guacamole and tortilla chips to share as a starter. We got the quac and chips very quickly. We're not sure the chips were made in-house or not, but they were easily a step up from store bought. The guacamole was delicious and creamy. Our tacos arrived just a few minutes later. You get two tacos for a little over 100NOK, which I think is a great price for Norway, and a pleasant surprise considering the location. We were both very happy with our tacos. They were delicious and well balanced. My only complaint is mine was a bit heavy on the oregano, but my friend said hers were perfect. For us this was enough for lunch, but if you're a big eater you want want to go for more than just two tacos.
We also got the homemade lemonade, which I LOVED. Not too sweet, not too sour, juuuuust right. I just wish it cost a little bit less, but it's not as bad if you share.
The two waiters we dealt with were both polite and attentive, and didn't have that 'I hate my life and job' vibe that I often get in the big cities. They were basically the perfect waiters.
Even now, almost a week since my visit, I can't stop thinking about my tacos and I can't wait to go back on my next visit to Oslo! Highly recommended for lunch.
