The secret is out. Walla Walla is home to some of the best tacos in the Pacific Northwest. We know where to find them and what to order when you get there.

Bomb Taco

Drive a little south on 125 and look for the orange trailer. There you’ll find Bomb Taco, a spot that offers the full taco truck experience. Their pastor tacos will melt in your mouth with a perfect blend of savory and sweet flavors. The lengua and chorizo tacos are not to be missed. All of this comes at an affordable price — most of the tacos are just $1. But don’t forget to bring cash if you want to dine at Bomb Taco, this old-school spot doesn’t take credit cards.

Taqueria Yungapeti

Located in the heart of Walla Walla, Taqueria Yungapeti will give you the taco truck experience without the truck. A wide selection of tacos and other items plus a fresh salsa bar make Yungapeti stand out from the crowd. There are no fewer than 13 taco selections on the menu, meaning you’ll want to come back to try them all. To get started on your taste journey, go for the albanil and the fish tacos. The choose-your-own salsa bar has unique options to go perfectly with any taco you choose.

Mi Pueblito

Recognizable by its green and white roof on East Issac, Mi Pueblito stands out for delectable handmade corn tortillas and a huge menu that includes many vegetarian choices. They are known for their delicious horchata and their “triple threat” — a Walla Walla taco, Hawaiian taco, and fish taco. Mi Pueblito is a popular restaurant with a family dining vibe and always seems full. You’ll leave satisfied by the generous portions served up here.

Grandma’s Kitchen

Grandma’s Kitchen has a simple and fun way to order. First you choose your style (go for the tacos) then decide what to fill it with. It’s a format that will satisfy carnivores and vegetarians alike. The tacos to try here are the chicken tacos, made with what the menu calls Grandma’s secret spices. The elote filling is an unexpected delight and the pineapple salad make the fish tacos truly something special. There is plenty of outdoor seating at this laid-back location.

Dora’s Deli

Last but certainly not least on the list is Dora’s Deli, which has the distinction of being recognized as one of the best taco spots you can find not once but twice. Dora’s is an unassuming candidate for best taco location. When you first arrive, it seems to be a restaurant nestled inside a convenience store. But don’t be fooled, the tacos are a local favorite that have attracted national attention for a reason. Homemade tortillas, fresh ingredients, and a legendary veggie taco make Dora’s a local taco treasure.

It takes a lot of time to taste all of the great taco options in Walla Walla, but it is time well spent. Eat your way through this prestigious list and you’ll see why.
