Who We Are
Tacos Locos is a Mexican-style food business serving both Mexican and local South African flavours in our food.
Established in 2015, we started in markets and grew to using our very own food truck for corporate and private catering and events. Recently, we expanded to open up our first eat-in and takeaway shop in Observatory, Cape Town.
What We Do
At first glance, we might seem like your average Mexican-style establishment...but we like to keep things loco at Tacos Locos. We offer an urban take on Mexican street food and create recipes that are steered towards market trends and local flavours.
If you have a little fiesta that needs catering for or even a wedding that needs some loco flavour - drop us an email and let's get chatting. If you are rolling the streets of Cape Town looking for a taco fix, find us in Station Road, Observatory. Or even better - order online via Uber Eats, Order In and Mr D and get our flavours delivered straight to your door!
