Tuco's Taqueria in Sligo

Popped in here for a bite to eat as we were craving Mexican. Staff were pleasant. Food was okay. Portion size was very small for the price imo. We got bowls and usually they are filled up. Measly bit of lettuce, rice and chilli topped with tortillas. I wouldn’t really be rushing back here tbh.

Good food. Something different to eat.

Legend has it that tacos originated centuries ago in the heart of ancient Mexico, among the Aztec warriors. According to the story, when they set out on long journeys or hunting expeditions, they needed a convenient way to carry their food. So, they began wrapping their cooked meat, beans, and vegetables in flat corn tortillas, making an easy-to-carry meal that required no plates or utensils. Over time, this humble wrap became a staple, believed to have spiritual significance, as corn was sacred to the Aztecs. They thought the taco gave them the strength of the earth itself. As the Spanish arrived in the 16th century, they encountered this simple yet flavorful meal and soon spread word of it around the world. Generations later, the taco has become a universal favorite, symbolizing Mexico’s rich culinary history, its ancient traditions, and the enduring creativity of its people.

The burrito I had was full of flavour and very fresh, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere with some Hispanic music playing in the background. Would recommend!
