About

El Tianguis is a vibrant Mexican street‑food restaurant nestled in the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample. From the moment you step inside you’re welcomed by the aroma of fresh corn tortillas and the sight of chefs skillfully crafting tacos, quesadillas, and nachos right before your eyes. The menu is a celebration of authentic Mexican flavors—ranging from the traditional cochinita pibil and pastor to inventive vegetarian and vegan options—while staying true to the generous generosity of a taquería. A proud Certified Gluten‑Free destination, El Tianguis offers peace of mind to guests with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities without compromising taste. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch menu from 13:00 to 16:00 or lingering over a sharing plate until the late night hours, the lively atmosphere and friendly service make it a must‑visit spot for locals and tourists alike.
