What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Antojo Tacos + Tequila is lauded for its authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine, particularly its tacos and vibrant atmosphere. Diners praise the friendly and attentive service, making it a go-to spot in downtown Halifax. While the strong drinks can add up, the overall experience is consistently satisfying.
"The service is excellent and full of enthusiasm. The prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend the Nachos and the beef tongue tacos—they are absolutely delicious! Especially the beef tongue, which is incredibly tender and has no gamy taste at all. The chef prepared it perfectly. I think next time I go, I will definitely order more beef tongue tacos!"

"I had an amazing experience at Antojo in downtown Halifax! The burrito I ordered was absolutely delicious – fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavour in every bite. The portion was generous without being overwhelming, and everything tasted so authentic and well-prepared.
On top of the great food, the service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right from start to finish. It’s rare to find a spot that delivers both amazing food and excellent service, but Antojo definitely does.
Highly recommend for anyone craving top-notch Mexican food in the city – I’ll definitely be coming back! 🌯✨"

"We stopped for lunch. It was very good. Sat on the patio, it was quiet. Enjoyed a Don Julio flight, three tacos, and chips and salsa. My wife had the chicken enchiladas and very much enjoyed them."
