Absolutely delicious vegan food! The smokey jalapeño rellenos with cashew cheese were amazing! As well as the vegan artichoke quesadilla, and very authentic frozen margarita. Good sized portion too, and great service! Will definitely be back �

Fantastic Vegan Menu – I can't wait to come back and try the other dishes on there. My husband had the line fish off the regular menu – he was also very happy. Great vibe, delicious food! PS Would love to see a vegan dessert, please!

My favourite little Mexican restaurant. I love their grilled fish tacos and house margaritas. So sad to see they no longer have the duck tacos or single tacos on the menu. El Burro Taqueria is my happy place.

For years I have loved the El Burro Greenpoint more than this branch but I have to say my opinion has changed. The tapas style of this menu allows you to try a great number of dishes plus they are light so you won’t feel lethargic after eating here.

Would highly recommend you visit on a Sunday to take advantage of the delicious R25 mimosas. Make sure to try one of their margaritas, I love the orange & mint one.

We had the nachos with guacamole (proper quality avocados were used), deliciously hot rellenos, duck taco, wild mushroom quesadilla, grilled chicken taco and cauliflower and chickpea taco.

We enjoyed all the dishes although we were a bit sad that the fish taco was out of stock.

There is a great variety of vegan options as well.

Churros was the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend.

A cosy corner of Churro Cheerfulness. We absolutely loved the quinoa salad, a variety of tacos and of course ...the churros! Not a value for money meal as you'll want to sample a few different items on the menu, but worth the cost for the flavours, fantastic neighborhood atmosphere and friendly service.

El Burro Taqueria is the smaller sibling of El Burro Greenpoint and EL Burro Newlands. The Taqueria specialises in single serving mexican cuisine. We have a range of small plates from Ceviche, Chille Rellenos and Salads to Tacos , Quesadillas and of course Churros and Paletas.

So yummy and I adore El Burro. I do however feel that the menu is slightly limited, even though it’s a Taqueria, it really could have a few more options.

I'm very happy to have found this place. they serve excellent soft shell tacos. the prawn was we've excellent. The beef and pork was very spicy, which I enjoyed. We had a margarita which wasn't the best though.

Yaaaaaasssss! These tacos are life! And when you hear a bunch of Latin accents and Spanish being spoken in the restaurant, then you just know that you're about to be served something close to the real deal.

Ordered the spicy pork and fried fish tacos, so so good! All served on flour tortillas, packed with all the right flavours. Also had the steak quesadilla, which was equally as yum. Ended off the meal with delicious churros!

The portions are 'tapas' style, so would recommend ordering at least 3 items per person.

Looking forward to returning.

This vibey little spot is a must. Who doesn’t like them some nice tacos?? 🌮🌮

Quaint set up with coloful chairs and small tables overlooking the corner street.

A tapa styled menu will ensure you order at least 3/4 plates between 2 people. Service is on point and the food is reasonable priced. We ordered 4 dishes and a bottle of wine. R330 for 2 people is not too bad!

Mesmerizing views. Seats strategically arranged to ensure that every guest could indulge in the scenery while enjoying their meal. I had crispy duck taco and their fish taco 10/10 . Meat perfectly seasoned, tacos were soft and fresh. To accompany my meal I had a pineapple juice that met me with a burst of sweetness it felt like enjoying a tropical vacation in a glass 😂😂😂🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽. The service and food equally outstanding. If you’re a fan of Mexican cuisine or looking for a taste of Mexico in town , look no further this is your go to spot. Highly recommend. 🫶🏽🫶🏽

The tacos are excellent but a bit on the pricey side. It’s quite small inside and it was very busy on Saturday evening when we went. Parking is also a bit sparse. The staff are very friendly and the food was very quick to be served.

If you want really good tasty mexican food this is the spot. Service was quick, staff friendly and the restaurant created the perfect vibe with that mexican feels. Prawn taco and salmon ceviche was amazing. Had the pork and fish taco too, it was all fresh and really good!

We like to come here with friends, great openings for both vegans and omnivores =) Lately the hot chocolate has become a bit watery, but service and food stay really great. Tapas for every taste - from fruity flavors (the jackfruit option with pineapple) to spicy dishes- you won't go hungry. Your usual suspects on the drinks menu as well as some Mexican drinks. The desert options is yummy I was told. Looking forward to the next visit.

Chips and salsa are worth the trip. The tacos are amazing. Drinks always hit the spot. I think this is one of our favourite local spots. We visit usually once a month and it never disappoints. Butternut quesadilla is the sleeper of the lineup - it's so good!

Almost all of the restaurants in the neighborhood were closed at 9pm but we noticed this restaurant was open. Considering I come from the States and in a large Mexican community, I have big expectations when it comes to food claiming to be Mexican or even Tex-Mex. Despite all of that, I really liked this restaurant with what they described as Mexican-inspired tapas. Some of it definitely was different from its traditional counterpart, but it was all good nonetheless. We started with a couple of drinks, a Horchata and a Paloma. Because it was tapas style we ordered a few things - the Chile Rellenos, Steak Quesadilla, a Fish Taco, an Al Pastor Taco, the Sweet Potato Taquitos, and the Smoked Jalapeno and Corn Croquettes. The Chile Rellenos threw me a little off guard because they were small, almost bite sized, and basically only had cheese in them. The rellenos were really good though, smokey and cheesy. The tacos were also 🔥 and had a ton of flavor. The Taquitos and the Croquettes were so amazing, I think they stole the show because of how good they were! The Taquitos were different in that they were made with sweet potato but they tasted amazing! And of course the croquettes were so delicious, I mean they're corn! The restaurant itself was small but had a cute decor, a lot of the decorations and setting Mexican inspired. I really enjoyed this restaurant, the food was really good in its own right albeit not all the way authentic! I would definitely recommend this restaurant with its twist on Mexican cuisine!

Delicious, flavourful food. Always accommodating to patrons and allow add ons and substitutions to orders (I always ask for regular mozzarella in the vegan tacos). Lovely vibe and decor too!

There are unlikely to be any other spots that have food this good. I'd say likely uncomparable! The service is alot on point, kind, and suuuuper quick! I love it when everyone is beyond nice and makes the experience even better. That is THIS place! Best tacos: fish and/or duck!

Small Mexican place. Lovely atmosphere at night. Wish they could have a few other cocktails though (without tequila, as all the cocktails are basically margaritas) otherwise we enjoyed the nachos and tacos. The guacamole was very good. Our waitress was very helpful and kind.
