La Fabrica del Taco
Where? La Fabrica del Taco (Palermo, Buenos Aires, Argentina) Map Menu
When? Tuesday November 14, 2023
Who? Me
Food Style? Mexican
We’ve got an early start tomorrow and my friends have decided they’d rather eat simple, so I go out in search of something delicious by myself. This neighbourhood has some great options - apart from the parrilla I had yesterday, there’s Armenian, Italian and Mexican. The Armenian place is already busy with a huge queue so, Mexican it is - "La Fabrica del Taco" simply means "The Taco Factory". My Spanish is terrible and I’ve really struggled in Buenos Aires, but at least I’m trying? I manage to order two quesadillas and a drink, and I’ve learned the word for “wheat tortilla” (tortilla trigo) along the way.

Tacos Pastor y Campechana
Okay it looks like a fry but it’s actually a stick of pineapple. Also these aren’t quesadillas. They’re tacos. And I think they’re both pork, which is good, but wow my Spanish must be bad. I eat up anyway. The salsa verde has the perfect amount of heat, but the meat is a bit dry. Is that how it’s supposed to be? I have no idea. It’s decent. It’s a quick meal and I don’t have regrets like I did yesterday after that massive steak and wine.
At least I got the bill when I asked for “la cuenta”. I didn’t know how to ask for change though so I guess I’m tipping 900 pesos, which is about 22%
