Taco tasting and cocktail-led dinnersSolo diners at the bar

MXCO brings the flavours of Mexico City to Stockholm through a taqueria format centred on handmade tortillas and house-made corn flour. The menu is well suited to sharing, with tacos and small plates that let a table explore different fillings and combinations.

Its bar programme gives the restaurant a stronger evening identity: mezcal and tequila are central, supported by cocktails, wine, beer and spirits. The setting works for a relaxed dinner, solo dining at the bar or a more social tasting-style meal, with vegetarian choices adding flexibility. MXCO is a compelling pick for diners looking for Mexican food with a clear tortilla-and-cocktail focus rather than a generic all-purpose menu.

Gjörwellsgatan 28b, 112 60 Stockholm, Sweden
Best for
Birria taco lunchesCasual takeaway

El Birria – Kungsholmen (Express) focuses on Mexican comfort food with birria tacos at the centre. The cooking is presented as a craft built around carefully handled ingredients and the rich, savoury character that makes birria so satisfying. Chicken tacos also make a strong choice for diners who want to explore beyond the signature dish.

The express format keeps the experience casual and approachable. Takeaway and dine-in service suit both a quick lunch and an informal dinner, while solo diners can settle in without needing a full occasion. It is also a convenient stop when the priority is a focused Mexican meal rather than a long restaurant evening. The menu’s strongest appeal lies in its directness: recognisable Mexican flavours, handmade-feeling preparation and tacos designed to deliver plenty of character in a compact format.
