It’s not hard to make a list of The Best Places to get Tacos in Albuquerque. We have so many great places that it can be overwhelming but although almost every restaurant in town has some type of taco, not all tacos are created equal. Tacos are a popular Mexican street food. Usually made with different types of meat, topped with onions, cilantro and salsa on small corn tortillas.Here is a shortlist of authentic and delicious tacos in Albuquerque that are good enough to call mom about

Barbacoa El Primo

413 Adams st.

Number one taco in town for its simplicity and quality. Made barbacoa cooked in house using El Primo’s amazing recipe. The care that is put into the making of the beef is evident as well as the experience.. They have a self serve station so you can add onions, cilantro, red salsa, or green salsa to taste. I was also amazed when I ordered 4 tacos and the total was only 5 dollars

Last call (Nob Hill)

102 Richmond dr.

 $3 per taco is a fair price considering that The Last Call is known for making all their food fresh, never frozen, and with no preservatives. The Beer Battered Fish tacos are the best. Their habanero sauce has the perfect kick. Topped with a bit of red pickled cabbage it hits all the right spots. Luckily for the world, they sell the fish tacos for $1/per on Tuesday and Thursday

Sister Bar

407 Central Ave.

Sister has awesome vegetarian and vegan options. The potato taco comes with Vegan jalapeno ranch, lettuce, and tomatoes on top of a taco-sized serving of well-seasoned pan-fried potatoes. I usually stick to their vegetarian options but they also have pork, chicken, and beef tacos that are to die for. $2 every day for the Potato taco and all other tacos are only $3

El Cotorro

On the corner of Carlisle and Copper this place has delicious tacos served beautifully. $3 for a taco at this place is an average price to pay for artisan tacos. Even the shrimp tacos are super good and well-worth the $3.50. They have a deal if you buy three tacos you get a free paleta and if that isn’t incentive enough to buy 3 tacos, then you can go enjoy your two tacos in cheapsville
