Tina’s Taquiera seems like it's been around a lot longer than its couple of months, in part because it’s the restaurant reincarnation of Curbside Cantina, the OG of Mexican-inspired taco trucks in Kuala Lumpur, wheeling since 2014. If you pop by Tina’s Taquiera in Damansara Kim today, you’d still find the recognisable red-and-black food truck parked out front.
The husband-and-wife team of Awangku Imran aka Tubby and Noreen has earned a deservedly loyal and devoted following with their signature Baja-style tacos topped with beef brisket (RM14) or fresh fish fillet (RM11), plus a heaping of crunchy cabbage slaw, avocado salsa, and pico de gallo. Other protein options: chicken, lamb, local Perak duck (also a crowd favourite), prawn, or zucchini for non-meat eaters. To drink, find iced teas, Mexican chocolate, smoothies and more.
