The Best Tacos in Edmonton

Edmonton's taco scene starts with one legendary downtown taqueria and spreads out from there. If you're hunting for the best tacos in Edmonton, you've got a genuine Mexican institution, a rotisserie-Mexican sibling and a cult food truck to work through.

Tres Carnales Taqueria downtown is the heart of it — a bustling, no-frills room pouring out authentic tacos, tortas and aguas frescas to a line that rarely lets up. Its sibling Rostizado in The Mercer does rotisserie Mexican chicken, killer salsas and a patio that fills the second it's warm.

For a fusion twist, the Naaco Truck reinvents the taco with Indian flavours and fresh naan — one of Edmonton's most beloved street-food names.
