Tacowala is a favorite of mine for lunch or dinner! My go-to is the black magic quesadilla, but I haven’t had something I didn’t like. The flavors are all familiar but interesting and truly a fusion.

Had the pleasure of attending Supper Club Volume 2 at Tacowala—what an experience! The dishes were delicious and inventive, blending the Indian flavors of my childhood with Mexican influences in a way you wouldn’t expect but that works beautifully. Service was impeccable and the vibes were immaculate. Best of all, it is all gluten free which is a necessity for me. My only request is that this becomes a monthly event!

We have visited Tacowala many times and always loved the variety of delicious veg food that’s available. The highlight was attending the supper club that was hosted last weekend…. Right upon entering, they had converted the restaurant into family style dining with a beautiful table setting and the ambience created by the lighting. The rest of the night flew by with 9 courses and storytelling that blew our minds and taste buds. Can’t wait for the next one!
