Xuba Tacos
Mexican Tacos · Eixample, Barcelona · €€
Awards: Repsol Solete
Open since 2021
Xuba Tacos is the taquería of two-Michelin-star chef Antonio Sáez, operating from Carrer de Mallorca 194 in Eixample and a second stand at Time Out Market Barcelona. Blue corn tortillas are pressed to order, salsas made in-house — the Michelin pedigree surfaces in the craft, not just the gourmet specials.
The Delekta Review
Mexican tacos with chef-driven precision — handmade blue corn tortillas pressed to order, salsas built rather than bought Counter-service casual format with bar stools — bigger sit-down at Time Out Market not required
Blue corn tostada with lemon-infused tuna and chipotle mayo Beer-battered sea bass taco with red cabbage, leek, and cilantro Adobo chicken tacos; classic skirt steak, chicken, and al pastor Chef's-special tacos with foie and truffle (Time Out Market) Salsa macha as the heat anchor
Chef Antonio Sáez holds two Michelin stars elsewhere in his career Two locations: standalone restaurant on Carrer de Mallorca 194 (Eixample); food-hall stand at Time Out Market Barcelona (Moll d'Espanya 5, floor 2)
Counter-service format with bar stools — the taquería register kept intentionally casual despite the two-Michelin-star pedigree of the chef behind it.
