Tacos at the budget end of Byron St, where the price level stays honest even when everything around it doesn't. Chihuahua Taqueria keeps things simple: Mexican street food, fast and affordable, in a town that can make you wince at a lunch bill. The Byron St address puts you close to the centre of town without the main strip markup. Expect the kind of casual, counter-service setup that suits a post-beach feed or a quick dinner before the night moves elsewhere. No reviews to draw on yet, so go in with open eyes, but the format and price point fill a real gap in a town where a bowl of chips can cost you fifteen dollars. Worth a visit if you're watching the wallet.

What People Say
Happy Diane6 months ago
Chihuahua Taqueria is one of our favourite spots in Byron Bay! Located in at Habitat in Byron’s Arts & Industrial Estate, this little taco bar is all about fresh, vibrant, flavour packed Mexican eats made with quality ingredients and a “simple, fast, delicious” philosophy. They’re open daily from 11am to 8pm, and no matter what time we visit, the food is always consistently amazing. We absolutely love the tacos here! They’re some of the best in Byron. Our favourites are the Pescado, Pollo, and the Salt & Pepper Calamari, and we’ve even tried some of the specials which have always been delicious. Make sure to get a Margarita, the Mexico City Fries and the Corn on the Cob too… seriously SO good! Everything is super fresh, generous, and amazing value for money. The staff are really lovely, and despite how busy it gets (because everyone knows how good it is!), the vibe is always relaxed and welcoming. We’ve noticed tables fill up fast, so it’s definitely worth booking ahead, especially if you’re coming with family or a group. Highly recommend Chihuahua:) Such a fun atmosphere, incredible tacos, and consistently great food every time we visit!

After a wonderful and vigourous walk to Byron Bay Lighthouse from the Town Centre and back, it was time to re-enegise with some dinner. I have to admit the Happy Hour Sign outside Chihuahua Taqueria attracted me like moths to a flame. The corn meal, tacos and margarita was exactly what I was looking for, to replenish the calories I burnt during my walk to the Lighthouse. All served with a smile, friendly and courteous service from the staff.

Corner of Jonson Street, Folk is the kind of all-day café that earns its place through good bones rather than spectacle. Warm timbers, honest café fare, mid-range pricing, and a front-row seat to Byron's main strip.
