How the shortlist compares
Where the other top Tacos stand out
El Columpio is another popular choice, particularly for its generously filled Barbacoa Estilo Hidalgo tacos served on soft tortillas. However, those expecting a crunchy taco will be disappointed as their tortillas aren't toasted, and the $9.50 per taco price point represents a significant investment. Frankie’s Tortas and Tacos receives high marks for its overall top-rated status, while Benny’s American Burger – Fitzroy attracts attention for its Brisket Taco on a hot day. Hecho en Mexico Fitzroy is praised for flavourful spices and addictive sauces, though some reviewers noted textural issues with their chorizo.

- Frankie’s Tortas and Tacos receives high ratings for its overall taco selection
- Benny’s American Burger – Fitzroy offers a Brisket Taco, suitable for warmer weather

How to choose
Choosing Tacos in Fitzroy
