¡Muy delicioso! What an amazing experience at Holi Taco! It was a bit of a trip to get here, but it was it worth it.
Service is super friendly, sociable, and fast. The staff were generous to give me carnitas tacos on the house after seeing me salivate over the roasting carnitas for 15min after I finished my first round of tacos. I was incredibly touched by this, and this made the experience even better.
Their tacos are SO DELICIOUS. First of all, the tortillas they use are fantastic - they hold the weight and juices of the taco fillings without needing to be double stacked. This keeps the taco structure without making the taco as starch-heavy. I find that other spots that double up on the tortillas in order to give the taco more structure can sometimes result in the taco being more effortful to chew, and the balance of meat to salsa to toppings to tortilla is a bit off.
My favourite taco was the pescado (fish). Lightly battered white fish, topped with crunchy purple cabbage & pico de gallo. I also added cilantro, onions, and salsa verde from the DIY toppings bar. Such a bright, light taco to enjoy bursting with flavour! The carnitas (pork) landed in 2nd place for me - smoky paprika, salt, and charred carnitas being slowly roasted, paired with pineapple. The pineapple cuts the saltiness of the carnitas with its acidity and sweetness to balance out the flavours. Mmm so tasty... Last but not least, we tried the suadero (brisket), which is their best seller. Surprisingly, this wasn't my favourite because it didn't wow me as much. It was very juicy & tender, but overall just tasted like salty beef even with toppings added. Still a delicious taco, but I would go for the other 2 instead.
Seating is quite limited, so be prepared to eat standing near the exit or wait a bit for counter/seating space to be available. The interior is decked out in Polaroid photos of locals who share their love of tacos, Latin-themed decor, and vibrant colours. Love the small local biz feel!
