Mexican food may not be as popular as Japanese food is in Singapore and doesn’t receive as much credit as it deserves but it is in fact very hearty. With a lot of meat, carbs, spices and herbs, vegetables as well as tummy-warming soups, you will never leave a Mexican restaurant disappointed. Most people know of Señor Taco. The cute little bar and restaurant situated at Clarke Quay, the central clubbing district of Singapore. Surrounded by hungry clubbers and bar-hoppers, Señor Taco is the restaurant that is leading the Mexican cuisine into popularity in Singapore.

Also, it’s not just all tacos and nachos (even though they are crazy delicious) when it comes to Mexican food. They also boast of quesadillas, salsa dips, grilled chicken in various dishes, and fat, delicious burritos. We predict that the love for Mexican food will start to pick up in Singapore, and with this list you can be ahead of the curve and get your Mexican food fix fast.
