If there’s one thing Holly and I can always agree on it’s that Mexican food is in the top 5 of world cuisines. Together, we’ve experienced local Mexican dining while living in North Carolina, London (Ontario), Toronto, and even getting a taste of the real thing in Tulum, Mexico. Not to mention, both Holly and I have been to Mexico before we were together a number of times, Holly even lived there, so we’ve both experienced real and authentic tastes.
Being city folk, we’re quite used to having a lot of options, but the problem is that many of those options aren’t great, and you feel like it must be a needle in a haystack to find a truly delicious and authentic Mexican food experience. So you can call us surprised when we found some of the best tacos we’ve ever had right here in Pembroke, Ontario!
On one of our first visits to our new town, we wanted to make an effort to try a number of local spots, and being that Mexican is a fav of ours, we were instantly drawn to Nomada Tacos…seeing pictures on their Instagram would make anyone hungry!

Then you get there and pictures don’t even do it justice! You get your tacos piping hot. The ingredients taste fresh. The tortillas are perfectly made – whether soft or crispy depending on the type of taco you ordered. And best of all, even if you (somehow) don’t find that you like their standard selection of beef, pork, chicken, veggie, or fish, then you might just find what you’re looking for in one of their weekly specials! These are often really unique and amazing flavours, like the above-pictured garlic potato mash fried taco with queso dip.
The specials aren’t even always just new tacos, and their offerings beyond tacos are just as delicious too.
On top of the taste experience, the customer service we’ve received with each visit is also impeccable. Every person we’ve spoken to there has been friendly, and you definitely get a sense that they take a lot of pride in their food and business.


So if you’re in the area, and you’re looking for some amazing food, definitely drop by and check out Nomada Tacos! You will not be disappointed!
