Nestled in the heart of San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Tacos La Diosa offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience that combines authentic Mexican tacos with a personalized twist. Located on Sandpiper Street, this family-run gem is an escape into flavor, and community. Whether you’re craving mouthwatering tacos or a refreshing margarita after a long day, Tacos La Diosa is the perfect spot to unwind.
A Garden Oasis for Food and Relaxation
Imagine stepping into a lush garden setting where the open kitchen lets you see every delicious dish being prepared. At Tacos La Diosa, the dining area is nestled in the owners’ garden, surrounded by vibrant plants that create a serene, almost meditative atmosphere.
With warm lighting, charming Mexican decor, and a cozy bar, Tacos La Diosa has an intimate yet inviting vibe. It’s the perfect place for reconnecting with friends or enjoying a quiet evening solo.
The Heart of Tacos La Diosa: Family, Flavor, and Freshness
Owners Kristi and Roberto have poured their hearts into every detail of this restaurant. Kristi, an accomplished entrepreneur who also owns Sparadise Spa at Coco Beach, brings her passion for hospitality to Tacos La Diosa. This true family business often includes their young daughters lending a hand, adding to the warm and welcoming environment.
The menu reflects their love of home-cooked meals, with recipes inspired by family traditions. From their signature salsa to the queso fundido, everything is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. I strongly recommend starting with the aguachile. The tacos are, of course, the star of the show. Options include tender skirt steak, savory carnitas, flavorful al pastor, and even creative combinations like shrimp or surf and turf tacos. Want something a little different? Try their tacos ahogados or gringas—delicious creations that keep guests coming back for more.
Margaritas, Cocktails, and More
What pairs better with tacos than a perfectly crafted margarita? The bar at Tacos La Diosa serves up some of the best margaritas I’ve had on the island. Playful signs remind you to “Save Water, Drink Margs,” but the cocktail menu offers much more than that. From refreshing aguas frescas and sangrias to bold micheladas, there’s a drink for every mood.
Events and Social Vibes
Tacos La Diosa is not simply a dinning spot—it’s a community hub. Their active social media presence (@tacosladiosa on Instagram) keeps locals and visitors updated on fun events like Mexican Lotería or Chalupa nights and sip and paint gatherings with local artist Karissa Vasquez. Following their Instagram is the best way to catch their latest drink and food specials, along with glimpses of the vibrant atmosphere.
Don’t Skip Dessert
Finish your meal with a slice of Mama Iri’s homemade flan. This creamy, sweet treat is the perfect end to an exceptional dining experience.
A Taste of Passion
When asked about her vision for Tacos La Diosa, Kristi shared:
“Our recipes were developed with love, inspired by dishes we’ve been making at home for years. I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to open a restaurant; I was raised in the restaurant industry, making this a true passion for me.”
This dedication and love for the industry is evident in every bite and detail of the restaurant.
So grab a taco, sip a margarita and maybe we’ll see you there!
