Taco Tuesdays have been a long-standing tradition for some of us at OLG, and we’ll never stop tasting our way through the city. We try to go to simple places where the tacos come out fresh and quick. Over time, we’ve put together lists of favorites. Here’a a look into our cilantro-filled perspective.
La Michoacana
1421 N Wells Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46808
Always one of our favorite spots. Steak and chicken are go-tos. (Note, their business hours are listed as noon, but best try noon-thirty.)
Birrieria La Cabana
2534 New Haven Avenue, Fort Wayne, IN 46803
Great place for a stand-out taco. Deep fried tortilla if you wish (and should).
El Paraiso
4101 Hessen Cassel Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46806
A spot within a grocery store that doesn’t disappoint. All the basics done well.
Los Taco Paco
2516 E Pontiac Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46803
Highly recommend. Nice people with a restaurant setting. Have a beer while you’re there.
Los Tacos Paco II
6205 Plantation Ln, Fort Wayne, IN 46815
Lots of fresh flavor. Great pastor tacos.
Taqueria Rancho Alegre
5709 St Joe Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46835
Colorful spot, ready to please. Simple, but good tacos. Get the grilled chicken.
Taqueria Salsa Grille
2031 Broadway, Fort Wayne, IN 46802
The OG downtown stop. Free chips and salsa can never be bad either.
Tacos Arandas “El Amish”
2012 Broadway, Fort Wayne, IN 46802
This place is one-of-a-kind for atmosphere and their take on tacos. We suggest getting two instead of three.
Los Carnales Restaurant
412 E Pontiac Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46806
Small place (three-four tables?) but served up good and fresh!
Rigo’s Taqueria
5858 Bluffton Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46809
Busy spot next to a Marathon station. Chorizo was liked.
El Taco Vaquero
5830 Goldwater Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46825
Some nice fellas serving up some perfect tacos in a food truck next to a gas station.
The Famous Taco
4101 N Clinton Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46805
Good campechano taco. The ordering style is a bit more “chain-like” but don’t let that stop you.
Taqueria El Barrio
3123 S Clinton St, Fort Wayne, IN 46806
This location was gone for some time, but it’s back and still tasting great!
Walking Taco Mexican Grill
3307 E State Boulevard, Fort Wayne, IN 46805
Although they specialize in the “walking” variety, requesting a traditional street taco isn’t an issue and it quite tasty.
Although our suggested list is above, we keep trying new spots!
Note, this list was updated in September 2025.
