Review

Eddy's Cantina is probably the mexican restaurant with the most legitimate mexican roots in Taipei. Nestled on a sloping 3-way intersection of Dansui, Eddy's Cantina brings tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and salsa to a unsuspecting part of Taiwan. Entrees are about 200 NT with the option to upgrade to a meal for 85 NT to add three sides and a drink. The ingredients are kind of authentic, but the flavors seem to be dulled to suit the Taiwanese taste bud. Still, it is probably one of the best mexican restaurants in Taiwan. If you don't feel like making the long ride up to Dansui, Eddy's Cantina has opened a new location in Tien Mu. This is decent place to have some tacos over ice cold brews.

Review

After being disappointed by Oola Mexican Grill, the search continued for a mexican food source that would fill that craving for tacos and burritos. Thankfully, Macho Tacos opened up in Taipei in it's full lucha libre glory and began to supply Taipei with decent baja style tacos at an affordable price. Three tacos cost 160 NT, and other items won't squeeze your wallet out of more than 200 NT per item. This is most likely as good as it gets in the East District Taipei area. If you're fed up with all the phony "mexican" food, then you got to take a trip to Macho Tacos hombre~ Vamonos rapido!
