This Authentic Mexican Joint In Tanjong Pagar Serves Tacos From $8 – And It’s Vegetarian-Friendly Too
One of the most enjoyable foods to eat, has got to be the taco.
It’s so simple yet so good, which probably explains why it’s considered to be one of the best foods to eat when drunk.
Is this why they serve alcohol with tacos?
In Singapore, there’s an increasing number of Mexican restaurants and a crowd favourite is Lucha Loco.

It first opened in 2012 and today, it is known as one of the few places in Singapore for great Mexican fare.
The coolest part of this restaurant has got to be the outdoor garden seating.
