They family was so nice! We loved eating at Annie’s kitchen next to the tent and enjoyed the waffle hot dogs & pulled pork sandwiches with ice cream! Family owned business and we love the ornaments we bought hand made from local birch wood tree bark! These were $25 & $35 on the pricey side but handmade and local.

Mexican goods from México and hand made knives by the family. Family owned and operated.

My son and I stopped by intrigued by the hand forged knives. The owner could not have been more helpful and informative. He educated us on the knife making process and taught us what to look for when shopping for authentic hand crafted knives. His whole family is involved in their market, the daughter makes jewelry and really takes pride in her work. Such a great family. He gave us a tip on where to fish in the area and we coincidentally met up with his kids who were amazing and gave my son great fishing advice

We found many less expensive handmade items at the Mexican Moose stand. The knitted items are made by hand and of good quality.

I found the sign for The Mexican Moose, but their shop was empty. A torn and tattered awning was over an oven type table but nothing else was there. No people, no food, no shop, no nothing. Gone for the end of season? I don't know, it was end of August, first week of September, a little early to already be abandoned.

We saw the Mexican moos sign but not any moose. It is at the river which has amazing views of Denali.

I used to live in Talkeetna, but I chose to move to Fairbanks, but decided to come back to visit. I highly recommend the roasted peanuts at Mexican Moose. The owners children were very polite and gave samples to people walking by by their gift shop. I know very little Spanish, but you can speak English or Spanish at Mexican Moose. Check out their tents. These are gift shops. The Mexican Moose family has handcrafted some of the items themselves. And before you leave Talkeetna, don't forget to buy their roasted peanuts. I buy them for a snack for my long drive back to Fairbanks. Muchos Grasias to Mexican Moose, we'll be back.

We found some beautiful birch baskets made a Hispanic family at this little shop. They were a little pricey but we have been thinking about them ever since the last time we're were here a year ago. They also have lots of clothing items, jewelry, and knives. All of it is handmade. The only thing we don't like is that the prices are a little high and they follow you around while you browse.

This review is for roasted nuts only. I didn't see any taco shop when I went in August. I got a bag mixed of almond and peanut which were freshly roasted. Great smell & tasty. Reasonable price. They provided sample too.
We walked to the end of the "boardwalk" in the freezing cold rain in hopes for tacos for lunch. To our disappoint there were no tacos, no Mexican food, not even a food trunk. What now exists is a tiny tent that offers nuts and beverages. Huge disappointment.

Ate here with five people, all were happy. Easy quick way to have yummy tacos (salmon) and tamales (pork), right near the river. He even made something special due to my food allergies. Very Reasonably priced by Alaska standards, which was a nice change.

This place makes the best salmon tacos anywhere! Don't let the trailer fool you. This restaurant offers truly gourmet food. It is the best salmon we have eaten anywhere near here, including Denali. We drove all the way back here, on the way from Denali to Anchorage and onto Seward, just to eat their tacos again. The salmon is super fresh, right from Cook inlet nearby. He gave us samples of the beef and pork tacos and they were fabulous. He makes his own hot sauce and his won secret sauce for the salmon that will have your taste buds singing. we try to be vegan for health reasons but it was worth veering from the diet just to have these tacos. They are at the very end of the road, near the river. Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity. His brother sells the candied nuts and cookies just in front. They are fabulous too!!!

These are real Mexican tacos, served by the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. Everything is made from scratch and the flavors are amazing- the result of slow cooking by folks who know what they are doing. The tortillas are handmade daily. If I lived there, I'd be eating there everyday , as I did on my visit. This is the real deal - don't miss it. It was recommended to us by a friend from Mexico who was thrilled by how good and authentic the food is. I'm so glad I went. Don't skip the seasoned nuts either. Their hospitality even extended to my dog. They gave her a bone both times we visited.

Amazing tacos at a wonderful Mexican food truck near the river.
Beautiful but expensive handmade products.
