Even the Michelin Guide couldn’t get past tacos. This spring, it awarded a star to a street food stand in Mexico. Everyone loves the finger food that has long since made its way around the world. You will find many delicious variations on Mallorca, too, as the island has long had close links with Latin America. These 10 restaurants serve the best tacos in Palma. The list includes outright tapas bars, but also restaurants with Michelin mentions and vegetarian and vegan eateries. Because the Top 10 tacos places in Palma are as diverse as the people who crave the popular dish.
Taquerías
1. L’Informal
It’s all about tapas here at L’Informal. And quesadillas, actually. Add the corresponding drinks and the cool interior and you are set for a night out. The pisco sour goes perfectly well with a cochinita pibil. Make sure to reserve a table, or enjoy a place at the bar.
2. Manataco
Whether with a group of friends at the long table, in a booth or on the terrace, at Manataco you can choose from a nice selection of tacos and quesadillas. The Mexican restaurant in the center of Palma is also popular for its drinks. Tacos without margaritas are like a summer without sun, they say.
3. Primo
For those who can’t agree about going to a burger joint or a taco place, Primo offers both. Including fab vegetarian options. Plus a spacious terrace on Calle Sa Fabrica, the pedestrian street with the largest choice of different restaurants in Santa Catalina.
Tacos and more
4. The Duke
Imagine a Californian beach shack with Latin cuisine and you can already picture The Duke. The lively restaurant has been around for a while and is still going strong. Go for a spicy Mexican or a veggie taco and one of the signature cocktails.
5. Mestís
Located close to the Santa Catalina market hall Mestís reminds of an eatery in Baja California . The bright café is a nice place for a coffee or a snack. Like the soft shell crab taco with avocado and mango, perhaps followed by one of the scrumptious desserts.
6. Patron Lunares
What used to be the community center of the former fishermen village still attracts a diverse crowd. The menu of this full-blown restaurant goes far beyond the tacos de pescado baja california. And yet they are always a safe bet at Patron Lunares.
7. Ombu
So nice, they opened twice. In Santa Catalina and at Paseo del Born Ombu offers a best-of tapas in two completely different atmospheres. Urban jungle in Santa Cata or rather traditional Mallorcan, whatever you prefer, the taco rossini is always a great choice.
Veggie and Vegan Places
8. Plaer Natural
Another stronghold of vegetarian cuisine in the heart of Palma, Plaer Natural is open for lunch only. The menu changes daily. But the tacos are so popular here that with a little luck you’ll find one of the various classics as a main course on the menu.
9. Temple Natura
The urban oasis is one of the best vegan restaurants in Palma. And the garden a paradise on a hot summer’s day. As with so many vegan dishes, the burrito (kind of taco’s big brother) at Temple Natura got everything you’d want from a hearty and healthy meal.
10. Sabores de Sandra
This vegan eatery and catering service has an extensive menu but it is particularly famous for its tacos. Even if you love them hot, be aware that Sabores de Sandra does them really spicy. No dish for the faint-hearted.
