If your three favourite things in the world are “tacos,tacos,tacos”,there’s great news:Potts Point has a legit,hole-in-the-wall Mexican eatery,and its raison d’etre is up in lights at the entrance.

Providing the ideal mix of south-of-the-border bona fides and small-bar nous,Tacos Tacos Tacos is the work of Guadalajaran chef Joe Valero and the team from nearby wine bar Caravin.

The offering is a simple one:five tables,five tacos (and a quesadilla) and service with a smile. The tacos have a habit of running out,so get in early for the pork cabeza,a mix of meat from a pig’s head,stewed and then crisped up on the grill,topped with deeply rich salsa macha.
