This restaurant has very good food and meets expectations for many similar Korean and Mongolian BBQ places. However, what distinguishes this from others is the atmosphere, the very friendly front and wait staff and the quality and helpfulness of the service! We enjoyed our experience and will definitely go back!

Took my girlfriend here for her birthday. We absolutely loved the experience. Food was phenomenal and fun to make on the grills. The serving robot singing happy birthday was a fun addition.

About the restaurant
If you want to sling tacos and tequila you have to be in the right place. Bourbon Street comes with a long history of being the centre of West Edmonton’s restaurant and nightlife scene, so we knew it was the perfect spot to plant our taco flag (yes, we have one in the back) and open up “shop”. Walk down the bustling promenade and let the energy of our cantina draw you in. Come check us out and let us feed you tacos and tequila!

Food tastes so good, fresh ingredients and flavour are top notch! Prices are very reasonable and the service has always been great! We love The Taco Shop especially since there are a lot of gluten free options!
