Zapata by Chakall
In the heart of Porto, you can try the gastrobar Zapata by Chakall, which mixes different flavors from Latin America.
However, it’s the tacos, burritos, empanadas and quesadillas that rule, not to mention a wide range of tequila. With colorful décor and lots of neon lights, the atmosphere is fun.
Where: Rua de Cândido dos Reis, 135
Don Pepe
At Don Pepe you’ll travel directly to Mexico through its dishes, which include the typical taco al pastor and cochinita pibil, among others, not forgetting the quesadillas.
To accompany them, you can choose from a wide variety of drinks , including Mexican beers , exclusivecocktails and tequila, among others. The best thing is to stop by and try them out to see if you like them.
Where: Rua de Sampaio Bruno, 31
Duello
Duello deserves a place in the heart of any Mexican restaurant lover.
It’s an informal and relaxed spot , where the atmosphere and colorful decor immediately take you back to the contagious joy of Mexico.
Another reason to stop by is the existence of a mural dedicated to Frida Kahlo, specially made by the great Mr. Dheo, one of the biggest names in urban art.
Where: Rua do Bonjardim, 233
Callejero – Mexican street food
Anyone who passes by the increasingly busy Rua das Oliveiras will not be indifferent to this place and its neon pink ‘Feed Me Tacos’ contributes greatly to this. Here, you feel like you’re in Mexico and Andrés and Laura, the Mexican owners, make sure of that, having spent a year with a food truck touring the country from north to south.
At Callejero you’ll be able to try authentic recipes (some of which are family recipes ) and several others that have been improved by those who know these street food dishes best . Tacos, quesadillas (the mushroom ones are just incredible), burritos (El Conchinita was our favorite!) preferably accompanied by a delicious Marguerita!
Where: Rua das Oliveiras, 118
Frida
Close to Miguel Bombarda, this restaurant is different from the rest, even in its decor. Located near Porto’s “art district”, this space also resembles a gallery.
Here you can try another variety of Mexican food or different ways of preparing and cooking it. Of course, there ‘s no shortage of margaritas! If you’re looking for a different but equally tasty experience, you definitely have to visit this restaurant!
Where: Rua de Adolfo Casais Monteiro, 135
