The Delekta Review
Xuba Tacos sits in the Eixample Esquerre doing the only thing a Barcelona taquería can do to earn genuine culinary credibility: cook properly. Blue corn tostada with lemon-infused tuna, beer-battered sea bass tacos, salsa macha with real spice — the corn tortillas are handmade, the salsas get serious attention, and the al pastor is cooked on an actual trompo rather than faked in a pan. The casual space draws a young crowd who have figured out that this is the best Mexican street food in the city. The margaritas are strong and well-balanced. Prices are very accessible, which makes the quality even more striking. For Mexican street food that respects the tradition while having a genuine sense of fun with it, Xuba is Barcelona's most reliable bet.
