Tacos in Spain

Mexican taco scene

Mexican regional cooking in Madrid

The place: Madrid

Madrid lies on Spain’s central plateau. Its Mexican restaurants offer a useful introduction to a wider scene that also extends to other Spanish cities.

The food

Taco culture

Madrid’s Mexican dining includes kitchens exploring Mexico’s Pacific coast. Barracuda MX, documented by the Michelin Guide, is one example of that regional focus. This is Mexican cooking in Spain rather than a single Spanish taco tradition.
