Taco Mexicano

Who should go here: People who happen to be on the Krakow main market square, who are looking for decent, none-too-expensive eats.

Warsaw Expat Consumer gives it: three and a half tacos with no cabbage or sour pickles.

This is a place that is located in the heart of Krakow tourist country...the main market square. I was there today, the last day of June, and I sat outside. It was mid-afternoon, and I am not normally a big fan of outside tables. Flying napkins and insects, sun in your face while you're trying to eat...not my cup of sangria. I sat out to the south of the sukiennice "cloth hall" in a shady, breezy spot.

Despite the fact that it took a well-placed drinking glass to prevent my napkins from realizing their aviatory dreams, the 80-plus degree weather and shady-breezy location made for a perfect late lunch spot. I had the tortilla soup and grilled chicken burrito. The soup was truly good, cilantro and lime juice tastes giving it a much more authentic American-Mexican taste than I'm used to in Poland. The chicken burrito, while good in its own right, did not quite hit the target of authenticity (and when I use the word authenticity please bear in mind that I like Chevy's Fresh Mex). It did not contain any of the typical Polish dodatki like cabbage, pickles, or weird sauces. Forty Zlotys bought my lunch (at today's exchange rate roughly 13 bucks). I was happy when I left.

You can find Taco Mexicano next to the Wentzl hotel at Rynek Glowny 19 on the main market square in Krakow.
