About El Taco

If you are craving a proper mix of Mexican bites and lively nightlife along Kira Road, El Taco in Bukoto is worth dropping into. The spot easily shifts gears from a casual dinner of tender beef tacos and sizzling pork fajitas to a late-night pulse of deep house and Afro electronic sets. With multiple dining zones and open-air seating areas, the vibe stays relaxed and unpretentious.

Throughout the week, the calendar keeps things moving with everything from acoustic guitar sessions and quiz nights to Thirsty Thursday cocktail deals and weekend DJ parties. Whether you are settling in for a round of margaritas and crispy chicken lollipops or heading straight for the dance floor when the booth lights come up, it is a versatile neighborhood hangout that always draws a crowd.

Mexican café with tacos, burritos, and other dishes. Better suited for lively evening gatherings. Decent food, several dining areas. Smoking areas are available.

I had low expectations but was very pleasantly surprised! The beef was tender and juicy, the chicken lollipops were crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside. The margaritas were a little sour and needed a little more tequila, but overall we enjoyed our myself, the food and the atmosphere. Try it for yourself!

Food was really good - the sizzling pork fajitas were so delicious. There were acoustic musicians with nice voices too which gave a nice vibe. Ambience is very chill and light. No fuss. Ladies toilets needed a little work as there was no soap but overall it’s great.

A great cozy space, amazing live acoustic band on Fridays; authentic cuisine and vibrant atmosphere — really cozy ambiance; ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions.A memorable experience in the heart of Kampala!
