Gracias / El Sheikh Zayied

The Sheikh Zayed taco truck is the gift that keeps on giving. What started as a Sahel pop-up is now every taco stan's haven for the iconic dish. If you ever find yourself on that side of town, you know where to go.

Gringo's / Maadi, New Cairo, Zamalek, Elsheikh Zayied

The very spot that made Mexican food great again in Egypt obvs deserves a spot on this list for normalizing tacos in Om El Donia. Always opt for their Taco Box that will give you options, options, options. Delish ones that is.

Daddy's Burger / Maadi, New Cairo, , Dokki, Nasr City, October, El Sheikh Zayied

Their tacos are not traditional because they're actually made from chicken. Yup, they did that.

Chili's / Branches all over Egypt

Say what you will, their tacos are as iconic as they are. Always go for their grilled chicken ones and ask for some extra guac.
