The Northern Taste

3 must try Mexicans spots in Milan when you are craving taco

The great thing about Milan outside of being the fashion capital, is that you can literally get food from everywhere. As someone born and raised in the lone star state, I definitely crave some good tacos. So while you are taking a break from shopping and visiting the beautiful duomo, here are our top recommendations for some tacos.

SANTO TACO:

Our favorite restaurant when we are craving a traditional pastor is this spot right here, called Santo Taco. The crew at santo taco have decided to offer their authentic cuisine with strong and decisive flavors like the ones you find at home in Texas or California! A little back story, the crew are all from Mexico and one of the owners is from California! In the kitchen, the crew prepares everything fresh, from tortillas (which is not a given) to the various sauces and guacamole. the chef have maintained tastes not always loved by Italians, but we know for sure that those who are used to this cuisine will not be disappointed. Try the taco al pastor and the carne asada tostadas. Perfect for those who are fed up with pizza and pasta.

CHIWAWA TACOS:

If you are wanting a vibe, this is the place. With having multiple locations in the city, they are strong on cocktails and the portions are always abundant. the dishes have been slightly simplified for palates not accustomed to the intense flavors of Mexico, for this reason we do not recommend it to those looking for something traditional but it remains perfect for an aperitif before dinner. Try the chips and guac and the margarita.

CALAVERA:

If you are looking for something that reminds you of Taco Bell, cheap and fast, this is definitely the closest place. It’s a chain mainly found in shopping malls, not the best in terms of flavor but great if you’re shopping in city life and have a sudden craving for guacamole. Try the dia del burrito on Wednesdays.
