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.

Going Loco For Tacos

Located on 15 Duxton Hill, Lucha Loco is a casual Mexican cocina (kitchen) and bar, serving up great Mexican food and tequilas (of course).

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.

Beautifully decorated, yet still spacious enough to accomodate large groups, it’s almost as if you’re dining with fairies.

Now, for the food.

They serve up tacos and quesadillas, as well as a wide variety of other authentic Mexican snacks and sides.

Some of the favourites are the Baja Fish Tacos ($10), the vegetarian Corn & Artichoke Tacos ($8), and the Cangrejo Tacos ($16), which uses buttermilk fried soft-shell crab.

Lucha Loco has seasonal flavours for their tacos too, so do check their Facebook page for any updates on exclusive taco creations.

Their most recent creations were for the Trump-Kim summit.

If you’re looking for something easier to munch on, try their Crab Tostadas ($17), which uses blue swimmer crab meat, salted egg sauce, and crispy chicken skin. Mmm….

The good thing about Lucha Loco is that they’re also vegetarian-friendly, with many vegetarian options available on the menu.

For dessert, if you’re not getting the Churros ($14), were you really at Lucha Loco?

We Mexican’t Believe It — Muchachos Is BACK With A New Outlet In The CBD

Muchachos

Mexican food is one of the few cuisines that just comprises of comfort food. It’s hard to not like Mexican food when everything that goes into it tastes amazing.

Even a bad taco is good. Depending on how sober you are, of course. Like a cold pizza slice. Sounds gross in theory, but not so bad in practice.

One of the places that serves great Mexican food in Singapore, is Muchachos.

I still remember the day I first bit into one of their burritos. It was such a carb-overload, yet at the same time, I couldn’t stop eating it.

However, all good things come to an end.

They closed their doors at Keong Saik street back in March, much to the dismay of their fans, promising that it’s just a temporary closure for a future relocation to the Central Business District.

Imagine my ecstasy when a colleague noticed that the previously deleted Muchachos Facebook page resurfaced with a new address.

That’s right, Muchachos’ new location will be at 182 Cecil Street #01-01 Frasers Tower and it’s finally open today, 26 September 2018!

In the meantime, CBD folks can rejoice and get ready for a Mexican surprise at Fraser Tower!
