7 Best Taco Restaurants in Anchorage

“I went for a late lunch. They have amazing food and a cool vibe.“

“This is my very first time trying this place, and let me tell you.... I am a huge foodie snob and like my food very flavorful and on point... El Jefe, YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We ordered on door dash. The flavors. Oh my gosh, the flavors! I had the Street Taco (3 Pieces) in 3 different flavors, as well as the Chips & Salsa: Honey lime chicken - the pulled chicken was tender and juicy. You could really taste the genuine honey-lime flavor, which I usually dont taste in food from other places. It was delightful. Spicy pork carnitas - the pulled pork was tender and delicious. It had a hint of the spicy, but not too spicy where you blow your pallete. Carnitas are some of my favorite tacos to eat when theyre made right, and these were perfect. Sweet and Smokey - my absolute fave! I am not the biggest fan of a "Smokey" flavor in some things, but the smokiness in the pulled pork was just perfection and made my tastebuds dance. I truly enjoyed the taste and savored it after every bite! The tacos all had the same toppings, which was surprisingly nice! It had some kind of aoli or chipotle crema kind of sauce with tasty seasonings and spices, red onions, lightly pickled jalepenos (not spicy), a small slice of avocado and finished with cotija cheese, and that just brought all of the flavors from every taco together. The chips and salsa I believe are a bit overpriced, but they were good. Good crunch on the corn chips, and the salsa was fresh and flavorful. The tacos were definetly the spotlight. I am happy to share that personally, El Jefe is the best street taco joint in Alaska! I will definitely order here again and will have to go give the place a visit in person next!! Well done, El Jefe.“

“The BEST tacos in town! One of Anchorage’s best kept secrets! I live at the complete opposite end of town but will drive over just to get lunch or dinner. Every bite is so good! And it’s not just the flavors - it’s the texture and how it is cooked. Very good food.“

“Taco Laco made the most incredible taco shells EVER. I've bought taco shells in Mexico, Southern California, Texas, and Arizona and nothing compares to the fresh corn flavor and perfect crispness of Taco Laco's very own Anchorage-made taco shells. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find them in Alaska stores lately. I called Taco Laco today and was sad to hear that they have just taken them off their production line. Nooo!!! I will continue to buy other Taco Laco products, but I really hope they reconsider not making the shells any more. Sigh me.. Worst Taco Tuesday ever..“

“My daughter wanted a seafood boil for her 18th birthday and this place exceeded our expectations. The owner and other staff member went above and beyond! The food was absolutely amazing and the overall experience was even better!“

“So good, I’ll definitely be back. They were so sweet and nice and even brought my food to the car when her beeper couldn’t reach 😭can’t recommend them enough“

“Great service. Food was good, and drinks were great!“
