Started in 2019 as a boutique by Gonzalo Granados and Celina Fagerström, selling homemade tortillas and Mexican imports, it has evolved into a refined taqueria in its third iteration, where head chef Anton Egorov leads a focused kitchen, using a wood-fired oven and taming the fire to his advantage.
Opened in 2017 by chef Samer Rabie, inspired by his time working in Southern California, Locali brings together Asian, Hawaiian and Mexican influences in flavour-packed bowls. Rich in taste and always layered with texture, it’s comfort food built for easy enjoyment.
Opened in 2025, this sister spot to Tizne focuses on tacos. The Mexican founders, Wendy Maciel and Hector Mijares, aim to share authentic flavours with their new hometown. Homemade tortillas are filled with beef, slow-cooked pork and vegetarian birria. Leave room for the Flan with blueberries!
In Mexican slang, la neta means “the truth”: a fitting name for Northern Europe’s first taquería, open since 2009. Al pastor (spit-roasted, marinated pork) is the signature dish, with a self-serve salsa bar featuring three heat levels. Corn and wheat tortillas are made at the company’s own bakery.
Among the six burrito versions are the Espaldilla with grass-fed beef in a spicy chipotle marinade; the Carnitas, pork shoulder braised for eight hours; and a vegan jackfruit option. Bowls without the tortilla and tacos complete the menu. Open since 2014, a second location in Stampen opened in 2016.

Outside the Emporia shopping centre, you’ll find Birria de Res serving birria tacos from a food truck. Tortillas filled with meat are grilled with cheese until crisp and melty, then served with consommé and lime wedges. Expect a messy eating experience—but don’t worry, gloves are included.
