The word taco is the Mexican equivalent of the English word sandwich. The tortilla, which is made of corn or wheat, is wrapped or folded around a filling that is generally made of spiced proteins – beef, pork or fish.

However you love tacos, grab your garnishes – salsa, cilantro, avocado, tomatoes, onions and lettuce and you have a dish of great versatility and variety!

Garrett M: I am a taco fanatic, and these in my opinion are the best most flavourful, fast food tacos in the Edmonton/Sherwood Park area.

Jeff M: Looking for a quick, tasty meal that will leave you full?  Burrito Libre is a good choice. This fast food Mexican restaurant is set up similar to a Subway.  You order from a set number of items on their menu, then customize from there.

Jeremy R: A taste of Mexico right in the heart of downtown Edmonton. I am not a fan of guacamole except at this place. Every time I go I am sure to get some.

Candice C: They offer their Tacos with 8 different types of protein!! How one narrows that down to one is beyond me, I suggest trying 3 and sharing with a friend. In a serving you get 4 tacos and they’re only just over $10.

Jamie F: On one hand, I’d like to give this place a one star review – that would keep it secret and ensure that I get a table when I go.  On the other, this is without a doubt the best Spanish/Mexican restaurant in town.

Nancy L: Fantastic, Authentic, Mexican and Salvadorian Food. I was born and raised in Arizona and I LOVE Mexican food. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Jason R: Wholly smokes! I don’t know what else to say. That was the best Mexican food by far in Edmonton. There is really no other place that compares. My first choice. The pristo tacos were tasty, and the hot sauces compliments things so nicely.

Jacqueline H:Best and most authentic Mexican food in Edmonton in my opinion.  I love Tres Carnales and El Cortez but you’ll never find the tremendous variety of Mexican fare there that you will at HUMA.
