Best Tacos in Adelaide

Remember when tacos came in a cardboard box?

Thankfully, those days are over. Adelaide's new breed of taquerias are much more faithful to Mexico. At these spots, you can expect to find real-deal nixtamalised corn tortillas, imported chillies and vibrant house-made salsas. And the best bit? No knives or forks required.
