Bibi's Cantina
599 Dumbarton Road
Out on the fringes of Partick, this neighbourhood Mexican has outlasted all others in town. Small, friendly and enthusiastic, Bibi’s has mastered the art of dishing out Tex-Mex classics (nachos, quesadillas, fajitas, tacos, Margaritas) in a jovial, welcoming diner at decent prices.

El Jefe's
1166–1170 Argyle Street & 219 Fenwick Road
With outlets in Finnieston and Southside, plus one in Edinburgh, you’re never too far from El Jefe’s lively take on Mexican dining. Billed as ‘tequila y taqueria’, expect plenty of both, plus cocktails, burritos, quesadillas and nachos. They also do a Tex-Mex version of the traditional British Sunday roast.

Rafa's
Unit 3, The Hidden Lane, 1103 Argyle Street
Being secreted away down The Hidden Lane hasn’t stopped Rafa’s becoming one of Glasgow’s top taco spots. There’s a strong street-food vibe within its tin-roofed shack diner, dishing out classics and twists like nacho cheese birria pizza.

Sacred Tum Tacos
522 Victoria Road
Hand-pressed corn tortillas surround the usual suspects here, with lots of coriander and pops of citrus. Standouts are the fried fish with lemon aioli, and a lamb taco with little sweet pink onions and hot sauce. Takeaway only.

Topolabamba
87 St Vincent Street & 116–122 Byres Road
This popular city centre diner (with a Byres Road outlet coming soon) has been around for a while, serving a small plate/street food-leaning menu of Mexican faves (tacos, quesadillas, chimichangas). Sharing is key, from dunking chips into fundidos to enjoying ribs and wings.
