Enjoyed great tacos while visiting from the states. Awesome band was playing too. Would recommend if you’ve been in Italy for 10 days and have had all the pizza and pasta you can handle lol

Awesome tacos! This place rocks. Little hidden gem tucked back right behind Trattoria Cà Bottona. They love their live music. First visit can be a little confusing, you order at the bar behind the grill, pay and step aside to wait for your food to be done. Outdoor seating. Lots of drink options, can park in the Trattoria Cà Bottona parking lot or around the corner is a little more parking. The owners are very accommodating and helpful. Only open for dinner from 6PM every day except Monday. The tacos and quesedillas are absolutely fantastic. Worth the 50 minute drive, and will do it again!

I’ve really struggled to find good tacos in Italy. We randomly stumbled on this place while on a trip to Lake Garda. Having visited many taco places all over the world I’d say the ones I got at La Chilanguita are right up there with the best, if not THE best we’ve had. Be sure to try the home made chilli crunch topping. The people are amazing and as to the atmosphere - It’s Italy! Beautiful views towards the Veronese vineyards and mountains with live music playing in the background. 5/5 on all fronts.

Do you want to eat authentic Mexican tacos? La Chilanguita offers a great variety of typical Mexican street food, with a strong focus on tacos just like the ones you’d find in Mexico City. The flavors are rich and well-balanced, the tortillas taste just like the ones you'd get fresh from a tortillería, and the fillings are truly authentic—from al pastor to birria and carnitas. The salsas are another highlight: vibrant, homemade, and full of flavor, with different levels of heat to suit every taste. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with live music that adds to the experience. You can really feel the passion behind the food. If you're in Italy and craving a real taste of Mexico, this spot in Garda is a must-visit!

Visited this wee place today after finding it on Google reviews and craving some non Italian food. Such a great find! The tacos were absolutely delicious (we ordered more) and the vibe was really relaxed, with music playing and a lovely mox of people. Plenty of parking outside and there is a wee park as well for kids. Would highly recommend if you're looking for some tasty food away from tourists spots.

Someone recommended us to try La Chilanguita Taqueria a few months ago and finally got a chance to drop by. We got 3 of each tacos except for the vegan one. I'm pretty sure those were delicious as the 5 ones we got. Yes, we ordered 5 different tacos. All different and all delicious. The atmosphere is nice. Where people can gather and hang out to have a beer and some food. Live band is also on site which was pretty nice as well. I highly recommend giving this place a try, especially when you are looking for some tacos and that is really hard to find in Italy.
