Little Hop
Freshly grilled meat and tasty veggie options provide authentic Mexican flavours, complemented by friendly, efficient service in a cosy atmosphere. However, some found the chicken slightly dry, while others noted inconsistent temperatures and a lack of chunkiness in the guacamole.

“One of the best little taco shops in the city. Intimate and cozy vibe much like you would find in a Mexican taqueria. A wide range of both veggie and meat tacos which can be ordered individually so you get to try a bunch of different flavours. Tasty margs and super friendly service, this place is a must visit if you love tacos.”

El Columpio
Generous portions of well-seasoned meat make these soft tacos a satisfying choice, especially when wrapped in double tortillas.
