Could never understand how there isnt a line around the block at this joint every Friday. The quesabirria and consomme combo is absolutely fantastic. Always gets my weekend off to a good start. Turner and O’Connor residents should consider themselves lucky to have a place like this for eats so accessible to them

Dare I say these were the best quesadillas I’ve ever had? Extremely authentic, delicious flavours and crispy in all the right places. Chipotle sauce and guacamole were also yum. Super friendly service too! Will be back. A lot.

By far the best tasting Mexican food in Canberra! Everything was extremely flavourful and we were beyond impressed by the service. Definitely recommend ordering the horchata, a perfect balance with our food!

"This tastes like happiness." Those are the words I often find coming out of my mouth when I eat at Tacontento. It's honestly a taste of home. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico, and I can taste the passion and spirit of it in every bite. It is a cute little food van in O'Connor, with tables and chairs in close proximity. It almost feels like I'm in a taquieria. There are two main things you can buy: tacos dorados (also known as flautas) and quesadillas. You can also get a birria consume that is absolutely divine. Tacontento also serves horchata, which is a Mexican drink made from soaked rice and cinnamon. I highly recommend it. This is real Mexican food. It is different to the tex Mex Australians are generally used to. If you're game to try some authentic Mexican food, try the flavours and see if you like it. I know I'll be going back again and again! Gracias Alex por todas las comidas. Tu comida nos hace felices y tenemos suerte de tener a Tacontento cerca 🙏🏼

Such a delightful place to eat! Personally I am obsessed with the taquitos and horchata ❤️ but pretty much everything on the menu hits all the right spots. I just moved to Canberra and I have been coming here for my dinner 5 days out of 2 weeks (mind you I was away for 3 days 🤣). Also the customer service every single time is 10/10!
