Al Taco in Scarborough

I’m sure it was good when it was open. Mid September it appears to be closed.

Excellent service and lovely staff thanks

Fantastic mexican food, lovely lass who owns the place. So informative with the details of the food. You can’t beat an open kitchen right in front of you with the Chef cooking up the ingredients. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend.

Visited twice last week. Absolutely beautiful food and brilliant service. Everything explained from very friendly staff. 10/10

Fab restaurant , the food was amazing and fresh, the staff were lovely and the service was quick. Highly recommend at an excellent price

Found this gem trying to find alternatives to fish and chips (🤢). Absolutely amazing food and service! This was our second visit to whitby this year and there was no question of where we would be going for dinner. The food is all freshly made and the ladies that run the resteraunt are fabulous and clearly have a passion for the food they make. This time we sat in rather than using the takeaway. The dog was welcome, vegetarians had plenty of choice and the whole place has such a lovely atmosphere. We will be back in whitby in a few weeks and I'm already looking forward to our next meal!

This is one off the best Mexico restaurants I have been to small in size big in flavour food is the best the ladies who run it are very very nice and helpful it is cash only booking is advertised the do takeout and the best thing is it is dog friendly thanks see you soon

Great little restaurant, lovely house guac. Definetly worth a try!

Lovely owner, even more lovely to have a choice of something more tasty than greasy fish and chips .... I'll be honest, the beef was a little bit tough but everything else was lovely!

Unusual street food style restaurant with combined kitchen and eating area. Great food freshly cooked, wonderful staff.

Big plates for a big meal. Lovely staff.

Love this place, we ate here twice on our stay in Whitby. We had the fajitas, chilli, trio of tacos and quesadilla. All four dishes were lovely and filling. My husband said the chilli was the best hes ever tasted. Very small inside but i think thats more cosy, the staff were very friendly. Can't wait to eat here again next year

Very tasty food, we had the nachos to start and then we both had the naked burrito bowls which were delicious 😋 nice quaint restaurant which can cater for Celiacs which was refreshing! not many places do Gluten Free dishes so this was a nice change and we were made to feel welcome 😊

If you are not a patient person DO NOT COME HERE…. There was one finishing table in the small restaurant and I still had to wait over 20 min to be looked at. The food was sub par… edible but really not amazing. Cheese wasn’t melted. The menu said pico de fallo but it was just cut up cherry tomato… the lady was nice.

Wonderful food! The smells coming from the open kitchen was amazing. The host was happy to chat away about her life and how she just loves to feed people. What a sweetheart! Both hot and mild tastes catered for. 10/10

We picked up a takeaway from Al Taco, the burritos were big and very tasty. Would definitely recommend if you fancy a change from fish and chips.

A lovely little resturant and takeout in Whitby. The two ladies thatt were serving are so friendly and helpful. All the food is freshly made and absolutely delicious.... especially the Nachos.... I will definitely be revisiting here the next timeci come. Thank you

Very accommodating. Lovely staff and great food. Thanks Al taco.

Delicious! We really enjoyed all our choices (nachos, burritos, quesadillas, tacos, pulled pork burger!). And the ladies were super efficient and friendly. Cant wait to come back!

Had burritos and naked burritos to take away. Generous portions, really delicious, home cooked food. Recommended.

Found this little gem walking down the street, we ordered a takeaway burrito and tacos and they were delicious. Lovely ladies that served us, would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent food. Made while I waited for take away. Huge portion so plenty to share. I chose the Burrito and cheesy chips. Going to book a table to sit in next time, can’t believe we haven’t been here all these years! Thank you for the cheesy taco sample :)

Al Taco is a hidden gem of an eatery, we tried the chicken quesadilla, burrito and nachos, they were loaded and all the ingredients were fresh. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming and nothing is too much. It is well worth a visit when you are in Whitby.

Really nice burittoo, good meat, great fillings. Wish I live here then I could get one each week .

Stopped in whilst on holiday, friendly staff and good food what more could you ask for

Beautiful place and fantastic food, service

Very small and cozy with very friendly staff. Probably 4 tables if you want to sit and eat. You can book a table in advance if you want but we just turned up and found a table that was free. The food was amazing. We had Nachos to start and then pulled beef Burritos. The portions are large and we were both very full after. They make their own hot sauce and it's smokey and delicious without being too hot to handle. Definitely adds to the already great flavours!

Food is amazing. All levelled up by the lady who runs this place, just brilliant.

We ate here last Sunday whilst staying in Whitby for the weekend. I reserved a table through their Facebook page to avoid the disapointment of not being able to get a table. The menu is varied and has lots to choose from. We ordered chicken fajitas and a quesadilla. Our food was gorgeous and the portions were huge. We could have shared my quesadilla it was so big. The ladies that work there are lovely and make you feel so welcome. They offered to box up our leftovers for us and gave us some Churros and chocolate sauce. We will definitely be eating here again next time we are in Whitby.

Generous portions of delicious home cooked mexican food & the staff are friendly & helpful. I'd like to go back and try some other items off the menu.

We had an excellent visit to Al Taco. We visited as a group of 5 including a vegetarian and a vegan. There were plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and meat options too. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and it was incredibly good value. Plus the portions were huge. Just to be aware, it is your own booze (£1.50 corkage pp).

Great Mexican food at Al Taco. Well worth a visit if in Whitby and wanting something other than fish and chips. Really friendly staff and the burrito and tacos were delicious! Dog friendly and they let you take in your own alcohol for a small corkage fee.

Delicious food, great service. Food was freshly prepared.

It's a beautiful little Mexican restaurant, food was freshly cooked, very authentic. Highly recommended. Will certainly come back again. Lovely staff.

DON'T go here if you want gourmet fine dining. DO DO DO go here if you want fab food, hefty portions and warm and friendly service. Its a small place with a cosy street food feel. Plenty of menu choices and the food was fabulous. Its Bring Your Own Booze with a reasonable £1.50 corkage charge. Very highly recommended

Lovely food ,quick service , friendly staff, generous portions. We had dinner during a busy goth weekend

Tiny restaurant serving hearty Mexican dishes. Good choice for vegetarians.

Lovely service, food was great...I was so full! More of a street food vibe than a restaurant with them running a takeaway whilst serving customers inside but with massive portions! You can take your own booze as well 👍

Food was great, a bit of a long wait, and we did get cut in front of and were briefly forgotten about waiting outside, but portions were huge and really tasty! Staff were so friendly despite being busy. I would have liked the food a bit hotter, but think they'd been done quickly as we'd been waiting a while. The burrito fillings were delicious though, absolutely loved the vegetarian burrito (with vegan cheese available!) and would definitely go back!

The burritos we had were really good. A massive size so perfect to eat and fill us up. We were left waiting to order for quite a while, which wasn't ideal. The food didn't take too long once ordered but we were left waiting to order for ages, which I usually wouldn't complain about but there wasn't really anyone else there. 2 women cut in front of us by going inside to order and I do think the staff did just forget about us a bit (which wasn't acknowledged). However, the food was still really good could have been a bit hotter but I think they made it quite quick as we'd been left waiting a while. Will go back in the future.

OMG One of the tastiest meals I have eaten in ages. I had the meat chilli with rice with melted cheese on top. My wife had the soft tacos. Both were generous servings and very tasty.Staff were welcoming. Would recommend this eatery. We ate in but they also do takeaway. They were non stop all night with both tourists and locals, which is a good sign.

Amazing food. Amazing service. We were in Whitby for a long weekend and walked past during the day. We came back into the town center just to go here. We couldn't even finish everything because the portions were huge. Great value for money.

I stumbled across this cute little restaurant, called in and came out stuffed as a stuffed thing. The food was very good, I had delicious nachos and potato skins (I really didn’t need to order both but couldn’t make my mind up as to what I’d rather have), it was all very tasty and as I’ve already said the portions were huge. The hot sauce was tasty but a tad too hot for me, luckily it was in a dish on the side. The two ladies serving were lovely and very friendly. There were a couple of little downsides - the card machine wasn’t working and I wasn’t told when i ordered just overhead as someone else was paying. very luckily I’d been given a £20 note earlier in the day and stuffed it in the back of my phone- I usually use my phone for contactless and don’t use cash or cards so ordinarily wouldn’t have been able to pay. - the place doesn’t sell alcohol, not a major issue but the particular night I visited I really could have done with a glass of wine with my food. Those are just tiny little issues tho, I would call again.

Stumbled upon this place by accident and luckily they had a free table for us. Food was all freshly cooked and tasty, great prices and friendly, helpful staff . Give it a try

Arguably the best burrito I’ve ever had and the staff were brilliant.

Absolutely superb highly recommended definitely use when up here the girls in there are amazing. Heard of this place on YouTube by a guy called simply whitby. Please please try it won't be disappointing thank you girls for a great time and making the wife's birthday.

Absolutely wonderful. Don't change a thing. Love this place. Food is great, menu is sufficiently varied and the owners/operators are brilliant

We’ll what a lovely little surprise we have never been before and found this spot on Tripadvisor. The food is freshly cooked and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I had a quesadilla it was blooming massive and bloody gorgeous. My wife had the chicken burrito and she enjoyed every mouthful. We also had some of their own homemade hot sauce it had just the right amount of bite. The menu is small but perfectly fit rend and whilst it doesn’t sell alcohol you can bring your own with a corkage charge of £1.50 per person. Will definitely come back and recommend it if you fancy a change from oriental food or fish and chips

Excellent discovery. If you like Mexican food or want to try it for the first time this is the place to be. We had nachos burritos and fajitas, all delicious. It's got to be said even better than Mexico.

Had a take away tonight, Nachos with pulled pork. Cheese not melted, no guacamole, no sour cream. Also had it two nights earlier and very nice, but not tonight. Disappointed tonight.

A good selection of Mexican dishes I have tred mist and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly a d helpful .

This is an absolutely fabulous place for authentic and superbly cooked Mexican food. We had people with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dietary requirements in our party and everyone was fully catered for. We discovered this place 2 years ago and couldn’t wait to come back! We live near York and would contemplate driving over just for the food . The owner and staff are just lovely too. This is a must if you are in or near Whitby

Fair attempt at Taco cafè. Food ok, atmosphere - talkative. I'd go again

It was a great meal and my kids said it was the best meal they have had all holiday. Staff were very welcoming and generally lovely. Would go again if we had a longer holiday.

This is a lovely cute little place and Alison could not do enough for me and my partner. I am a big tex mex fan and they even altered their menu to tapas because we're not massive eaters. We asked if she could do it and her reply was "I can do anything ". Genuinely, she wasn't wrong. Please don't listen to bogus reviews and gove this diamond of a woman your support.

We really love this place. It's hard to get a table but the fajitas and burritos are huge. The staff are superb with kids and really go the extra mile to accommodate any preferences.

Just had a lovely family meal, we were even able to message and discuss food allergies beforehand. My son and I had very tasty vegan taco trio and my Mother had chicken, pork and beef with vegan cheese.

Amazing food, really filling. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place.

Whitby has more fish and chip restaurants than it does middle aged white people, so finding this absolute gem in the middle of town was literally the best thing that could have happened to us. No disrespect to the chip shops but they literally have nothing on this place. I recommend the nachos and chilli and bring your own booze. Heavenly.

Never been Mexican,we ordered a mixture of burrito tacos, nachos and quesadilla, took so long but waited in anticipation. The older lady bless her was all over the place mixing up fillings any food was bland dry . Quantity over quantity. BTW they forgot part...

A great find! I had one of the best chilli bowls ever and my wife enjoyed a great taco. Cooked to perfection with really friendly people running the place. Fantastic value. Go!

My wife and I visited Al Taco last week and had an absolutely superb meal with wonderful service. I had a chicken burrito which was massive and full of really tasty ingredients and especially packed with chicken. This was without question the best burrito I...

Excellent food friendly service this is the best takeaway in Whitby and great value for money. Tge portions are generous and very tasty if you like Mexican food this is a must place to visit

This food was delightful, huge portions, I couldn't manage all of mine so i took it home and reheated it today and it still tasted amazing !. A very hard working owner and team, great atmosphere, lovely fresh food, couldn't ask for more.

I visited this place with my partner after seeing amazing reviews the off licence is next door to purchase any drinks, food was fantastic and a great atmosphere, will definitely return.

Delicious as usual. This is a must for us whilst in Whitby so booked weeks before arriving to make sure. The food is amazing and the staff are lovely. Thank you as always x

We were welcomed into this space like an extended kitchen cosy and homely. Lovely hospitality, freshly cooked food. I had a burrito and my husband quesadilla, tasty home cooked excellence.

We weren’t able to eat here on our first visit, as it was closed due to a staff shortage, but a note in the window said “back on Friday” - which was our last night in Whitby. So we were very glad to get there...

We booked a table for Sunday evening and when we arrived, the restaurant was in darkness and the door locked. I phoned to find out what was happening but just got through to an answering machine. Very inconsiderate.

Well worth a visit...our 2nd or 3rd visit & will be back. Lovely ladies who run the restaurant very friendly. They make you feel like your part of the family. BYO bottle shop close by. Food really nice also...very tasty, fresh & homemade.

Me and my wife love Al Taco. If only it was bigger, it feels like it could be one of the biggest and best restaurant in Whitby. All the food is absolutely amazing and the service is second to none.

Beautiful food, excellent service and value for money. We will return the next time that we are in Whitby.

Unbelievable food the tacos were unbelievable, my daughter had the pizza and ate it all! The homemade sauces were a nice extra too 10/10 would recommend already looking forward to going back as I’m not local

What fabulous food, lovely ambience, dog friendly and not a fish or chip in sight. What a treat. We will definitely be back..the teenagers loved it.

Often grab a takeaway for a night in, big portions great value great food, friendly team. Back again soon

El taco is our first destination next time we visit Whitby, Little cosy place, it felt like dining with a happy family, fabulious food. beware the chilli!

Just visited here tonight. We saw the lights on and we're delighted we could get a table as there are only 3, the other 2 were booked. I ordered fajitas my partner the texan chilli.....portions we're huge and very tasty. Best meal I'd had all...

What a little gem to find in Whitby freshly cooked food in a quaint little restaurant... We will definitely be back ,great value for money if anything it's underpriced....

Mexican take out that must be tried! Great service and food is amazing. We had burritos, tacos and fajitas, option on heat was spot on!

Went for an evening meal. Had cheesy loaded potato skins starter and fajitas for wife, chilli for me. Couldn’t fault service or food. Lovely staff also. Small restaurant so would suggest booking but there is scope for a walk in. Will defo go back when...

Absolutely lovely place, food is fresh and tasty …the steak taco was my favourite . Call in at the off licence next door for a beer or a bottle of wine and you’ll be set for a cracking meal . The warm welcome and friendly...

Lovely fayre. Great food, great service. Proper Mexican snap with a bit of Whitby thrown in. Allison and her team are always mega friendly

we have been twice now, sat in both times, very friendly, foods great, very Mexican, and plenty of it!

I was at Whitby Goth Weekend and was struggling to find anywhere to get some food to take back to my hotel. The ladies at Al Taco were closing up but still kindly made me a veggie Burrito which they didn't have to do for...

Decided to try Al Taco as it has so many good reviews but now I ask myself how? It was not good at all. 3 tacos really badly served, congealed cheese, chunks of chicken just thrown, leftover lettuce by the looks of it. No flavour...

A wet and windy evening, just looking for a nice at take away to enjoy at home. Al Taco, a shining beacon on an otherwise quiet street. The welcoming and friendly mum and daughter team whipped us up a delicious burrito (size of a brick,...

Visited Al Taco last night, after reading reviews on trip adviser, from walking in the hospitality of the owner and her staff was first class, making us feel vey welcome and chatting, We had a large nachos starter between4 people which was plentiful and tasty...

The food here is soooo good! We both had the pulled beef burritos and they were lovely. Generous filling and very tasty. Also had potato skins, which were very nice too. Good value for money. A real treat and now a Whitby favourite.

Arrived last minute but they got all 4 of us in and went out of their way to accommodate my gluten free diet. Good value and very friendly with great food.

Amazing food made from the heart. Alison is a perfect host. Lovely cosy restaurant we had a fab time. We will be back!!!

Had a takeaway from here recently. Very slow service.Person who took order was also person who made food and who was using her phone whilst doing so.At no point did i see her wash her hands. Also when we got back to our flat,she had...

A great little restaurant serving very tasty food! Lots of choice and great service! We had nachos to share and tacos which were very good! You can get your own wine from the shop next door and they will charge for corkage. When I’m next...

Bought a take away meal for my 2 Grandchildren, they couldn’t eat it . It was a soggy unappetising mess. Ordered the trio of tacos for my grandson but could not even find the taco casing. Ordered a portion of chips and they were black...

Absolutely the best food in Whitby. Amazing tasty plentiful Mexican. Wish I could give 10 stars. Second visit after takeaway a year ago.... thought it might be a fluke but can confirm it certainly wasn't it was even better than we remembered. Proper Mexican Street...

Very good selection of food all made with fresh ingredients, really very tasty. The dishes are all large and very filling, too much for 1 meal I would say, so it would be better value if they reduced the serving size and price a little...

We had a fantastic meal in Al Taco, great food! I had chicken fajitas which could feed 2! Son has pulled pork quesadilla and hubby had beef chilli 🌶 all delicious. Its BYOB if you fancy alcohol. Very cosy and a great vibe!

Came here with my family for tea one night. The prices are fine and the staff were kind but the food was bland and didn’t have that extra kick and rate that you’d expect from a Mexican.

Holy sh*t! We fell upon this place after finding that half of Whitby is closed on a Tuesday (our date night). WOW! Just WOW! I can not recommend this place enough... the food is incredible! Service lighting quick, staff lovely and you can nip next...

Had a takeout from here. I had a vegetarian burrito, my husband had a chicken burrito and my teenage son had a chicken fajita, we also ordered the nachos to share between us. The chicken in the burrito and fajita was a little bit dry,...

Just the best Mexican street food. Take your own bottle, this small restaurant is not licensed, but will only charge you £1 per head corkage. We had the three tacos (grilled chicken, pulled beef, and pulled pork) and the chicken fajitas. Fabulous for quqntity and...
