Chicano Taqueria & Bar

Best Known For

Six-course Chef-curated tasting menu.

From humble beginnings as a pop-up, Chicano Taqueria is now a permanent fixture on Brunswick Street bringing a slice of Mexico to Fitzroy. The dining room features an open kitchen and Chef’s table so you can see where the tortillas are made, along with a moody vibe of bright blue painted brick walls, a mosaic-tiled bar, polished wood and vibrant artwork, setting the scene for tacos and tequila with amigos. Pair a Smoky Paloma mezcal cocktail with grilled honey and chipotle chicken tacos, with guacamole, pico de gallo, housemade crema and chicken crackling; or barbacoa beef empanadas with chipotle-braised beans. Perhaps say gracias to carne asada quesadillas with beans, cilantro and lime rice, Oaxaca cheese and crema, washed down with an ice-cold cerveza.
