taco medic

we received friendly service as soon as we walked in. the tacos weremadefast and right in front of us. while also being full of flavour :)

i love this cute little taco place. we decided not to go on our first day but so glad wemadethe choice to go on our last day. open kitchen concept, friendly staff and tacos to die for. had four different tacos with bajaman (prawns) being my fave. just wished my taco shell was a tad less crispy coz it cracked on my first bite. still good, highly recommend!

if you are looking for authentic-tasting mexican tacos, taco medic is probably as close you’ll find in new zealand. located down a side street in queenstown lives this tiny little craft taqueria selling tacosmadewith corn masa tortillas and 8 different fillings to choose from (including two vege & two pesky options)!⁣

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧/ i couldn’t resist ordering this as baja tacos were what we lived off when we were in mexico. my taco came with the fried fish of the day (which unexpectedly turned out to be shrimp), green slaw, tomato salsa, lime, coriander and a creamy mayo sauce. the fillings balanced each other well but i definitely had to add a lot of extra salsa picante to a sufficient hit of flavour. not quite the same as in mexico but it certainly tasted more authentic than most the tacos you get in nz! 8/10⁣

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚- this was the only straight vegan option on the menu, and contained a spiced walnut cutlet, red slaw, avocado vegan mayo, tomato salsa and coriander. there was a lot more sauce on this one than the bajaman which was appreciated as the cutlet would have been a little bit dry without. however, the texture and flavour of the cutlet was good and it was nice to have a vegan option that wasn’t just beans or vegetables for a change! 8/10⁣

i love this cute little taco shop, with an open kitchen and yummy taco options, this place is a must visit for a cheap eat!

the taco shells are also freshlymadeon the grills, and you can choose from a variety of sauces to satisfy your taste buds

on my recent trip, imadesure i visited this place as i've read great reviews. the place itself is a no frills hole in the wall (or is it a truck in the wall?) kinda place. the menu pretty much explains how many tacos you need.
i ordered the baja and pork belly. baja was unreal, crispy batter and juicy fish. must have!

lovely freshlymadetortillas. relied on sauce for flavour. same toppings in each; only meat differed. burrito craft in wanaka had better fillings.

soooooo good!! 100% gluten free (which is magic for the coeliacs), and ridiculously tasty! also very cheap for queenstown which is amazing considering the quality of the food.

i tried the bajaman and the kentuckyman, which were bothmadeeven better by the homemade sauces available. nachos were also delicious (even the leftovers we had cold 2 hours later!)

ordered “the bajaman” - fish of the day was monkfish. exceeded my expectations! the fish was fresh and evenly battered. was reasonably sized too. tacos aremadeto order so the fish was served hot and crispy. the salsa was well-balanced, not too acidic with the right amount of crunch. good amount of spiciness as well. overall a very tasty taco. 10/10 will return to try others!

went for a 10km walk and needed a pick me up snack. it's hole in the wall and the staff were friendly. i had the producer (vegetarian) taco, which was black beans, pumpkin and goats cheese. mine was delicious and the spicy saucemadeit perfect. the bf had the fisherman and he said the fish was cooked to perfection. though he said it was a small serving. each taco is $7 and is packed with flavour. the banter with the staff alone, is worth a visit!
