Sizzling Revival: Señor Taco, Singapore’s First Taqueria Returns to Clarke Quay

Señor Taco, Singapore’s premier and beloved taqueria, makes a triumphant return to the Mexican food scene, reclaiming its place in the hearts of food enthusiasts right in the heart of Clarke Quay. Widely regarded as the establishment in Clarke Quay for quality Mexican food and drinks, Señor Taco is known for its bold flavours and vibrant atmosphere. With this return, Señor Taco is seeking to rekindle the fiery passion for authentic Mexican street food, back where it first started.

First established in Singapore in 2009, Señor Taco is now in two locations, one at Chijmes and the newly opened outlet at Clarke Quay, With this latest launch, Señor Taco is looking to solidify its reputation as the go-to destination for an irresistible Mexican culinary and cultural experience in Singapore.

To ensure the highest food quality, Señor Taco even has its own tortilla factory in Sembawang that produces fresh tortillas for all its outlets. The retail and wholesale business also supplies authentic Mexican and Latin American products, available online at www.lamexicana.sg. The brand is seeking to expand its tortilla factory in a downtown location and will be bringing in more products for the La Mexicana retail shop.

Since its inception, Señor Taco has been a hit among patrons, captivating them with its genuine Mexican flavors and lively ambiance. The new venue in Clarke Quay promises to continue this tradition with nightly entertainment featuring a resident Latin band and Singapore’s first Mezcal Library, boasting over 200 labels and hand-crafted agave cocktails.

The spacious 3,500 sq ft interior of Señor Taco is a colorful homage to modernised Latin culture, providing ample space for patrons to immerse in the vibrant atmosphere. The alfresco area, adorned in the signature red-and-white style of traditional taquerias, offers generous outdoor seating overlooking the main fountain.

Señor Taco Clarke Quay’s food and drinks menus:

We were invited for a dinner food and drinks tasting and these were the items we sampled for the night:

Verdict?

It is hard to resist Mexican comfort food, what’s more, elevated comfort Mexican dishes, paired with fun alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic beverage options. Senor Taco has a winning formula and they know it, refining and improving their menu over the years to keep things hip and contemporary.

The Birria was our favourite dish for the night, with the lamb slow-cooked to perfection, melting in your mouth with each crunchy bite of the crispy tortilla wrapped around it, oozing with cheesy goodness and lamb grease. This is a must-try. For heavier eaters, the Mexican torta sandwich will be the perfect indulgence, with its hearty fillings and generous portion.

For drinks, we found both the Coronarita and the Clamato Beer to be fun and quirky, guaranteed hits for this generation of social media diners. Additionally, the homemade mezcal gummies are a fun way to round up the night, for diners to enjoy an alcoholic gummy each on the way out.

Food and drinks aside, guests can groove to the rhythms of Latin music, with live bands and DJs playing genres like Reggaeton, Mariachi, and Latin Pop every night. Professional Latin dance instructors also offer classes in Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba, ensuring a true Mexican fiesta experience.

It’s Ladies’ Night every Wednesday at Senor Taco, with freeflow for ladies every Wednesday from 5.30pm to 9.00pm.

“In the realms of culinary passion, Singapore and Mexico are united by shared traits that transcend borders.” Shared Alejandro Blanco, the founder and Managing Director of Señor Taco, as he underscores the deep connection between Singapore and Mexico.

“Señor Taco’s revival is more than a reopening; it’s a celebration inviting all to indulge in the authentic and the extraordinary that is Mexico.” Added Blanco.
