AS SEEN ON
Brisbane’s first authentic Mexican street taqueria and bar — straight FROM the heart of Mexico City.
Born on the streets of Mexico City. Perfected in Brisbane. Cartel del Taco delivers bold, flavour-packed street food with a cult following. From our roots in Hawthorne — voted Queensland’s best tacos — to our new home in New Farm, we’re spreading
the taco revolution one neighbourhood at a time.
Crafted by Mexicans who live and breathe authentic street food!
Step into our vibrant, 1980s-inspired taqueria and bar — a lively, music-filled space where every detail tells a story. From the furniture and plates to the glasses and artwork, everything has been carefully brought all the way from Mexico City to Australia to create an authentic atmosphere.
Our menu, crafted by executive chef and co-owner Erick Martinez — born in Mexico City and cooking since the age of eight — features fresh local produce combined with genuine Mexican ingredients. Whether you’re craving tacos, tortas, wood and charcoal-grilled mains, or classic desserts, each dish is designed to transport you
straight to the heart of Mexico City.
LET'S GET SOCIAL!

❤️ WITHOUT THEM, THERE IS NO CARTEL. 🥹
Restaurants are never built by one person. The other night we celebrated our team ❤️
They’re built by chefs, bartenders, managers, kitchen hands, floor staff, dishwashers, runners and the people who show up every day and give their best.
The people behind every taco, every margarita, every service and every milestone.
A big thank you to the team that makes it all happen.
We appreciate you more than you’ll ever know.
🥂 To the team.
🥂 To the memories.
🥂 To everything still to come.
