I get that sometimes we all need a little peace while dining but for me, meals are all about togetherness. It’s a chance to bond with your dining companions and enjoy great company along with the food (which explains why company lunches are stressed).
And, no food screams vibrant gatherings more than Mexican food. It’s universally loved by almost everyone and their dishes are served in small portions — perfect for sharing!
We mostly associate Joo Chiat as the hotspot for trendy cafes but this Mexican restaurant may just change that image. It’s also Muslim-owned, being opened by the same folks behind Wooly’s Bagels.
Finding Bored Tacos shouldn’t be difficult, thanks to their eye-catching retro-themed sign proudly displaying their name out front. The vintage aesthetic extends into the interior as well, with bright-coloured walls decked out in eccentric trinkets.
Keep in mind, the space is quite cosy with just about five tables available, so don’t expect large group seating. While it may not align with the usual communal dining experience of Mexican food, Bored Tacos clearly emphasises takeaway as a major part of their concept.
The menu served here is also kept streamlined, offering classics and a few unique concoctions. Bored Tacos has no GST or service charge, so the prices stated are what you’ll get (let’s cheers to that).
Choose from four types of Mexican fare: burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and burrito bowls. They’ve got sides to match too, with options like Loaded Nachos (S$13.50) and Chilaquiles (S$13.90) to round out your meal.
The Birria Beef Burrito (S$11.90), Beef Chilli Burrito (S$10.90), and Cajun Chicken Burrito (S$10.90) are the ideal go-tos when your inner Asian craves some rice to power through the day. Likewise, you can get the burrito bowls that come in Birria Beef (S$10.90), Lamb (S$10.90), and Cajun Chicken (S$9.90) options.
Of course, we can’t miss out on tacos. Highlights include Garlic Prawn Tacos (S$15 for two pieces, S$19 for three pieces) and Cajun Chicken Tacos (S$12 for two pieces, S$16 for three pieces).
For quesadillas, there are four toppings offered: Birria Beef (S$14), Beef Chilli Cheese (S$12.90), Cheese (S$10.50), and Cajun Chicken (S$12).
If a la carte isn’t enough, feel free to make it a set for an additional S$6.90. Your dish will come with a side of Mini Beef Chilli nachos and a cup of lemonade.
So, are you ready to dive into some taco-filled goodness?
