Taco Boi

Welcome to Taco Boi, the vibrant Braddon eatery where Tex-Mex flavors collide with Southern comfort and Korean flair. Located at 31 Mort Street in the heart of Braddon, Australian Capital Territory, we're the smash burgers, tacos, wings, and frozen margaritas that the neighborhood is talking about. We don’t take ourselves too seriously here; we just want to make people smile with every bite. Whether you're dining in, grabbing takeaway, or ordering contactless delivery, our team is ready to serve up something unforgettable.

The vision for Taco Boi comes straight from Chef and Owner Yokas, a Melbourne-trained talent with 18 years of culinary experience. After falling in love with this exact location — yes, as a customer enjoying a beer on the balcony — Yokas took the reins from the former Burger Hero and kept the smash burger dream alive while injecting his own signature flair. The result is a menu built on craft, quality ingredients, and a genuinely fun, energetic spirit captured perfectly by our logo: a taco skateboarding with a burger on its head and wings scrawled across.

What We Offer

Our menu is a carefully crafted mash-up of three culinary worlds: classic Tex-Mex, hearty American smash burgers, and bold Korean-inspired chicken. Every dish is designed to deliver maximum flavor at an accessible price. Here’s a taste of what’s cooking:

Tacos

The heart of our name and our kitchen. We specialize in beef brisket tacos and our famous birria tacos, slow-cooked and served with rich consommé for dipping. Each taco is layered with fresh toppings, house-made sauces, and a whole lot of love.

Smash Burgers

Our juicy smash burgers are a tribute to Braddon's burger legacy. We start with high-quality beef, smash it thin on a hot griddle for those irresistible crispy edges, and stack it on a soft bun with cheese, pickles, and signature sauce. The Birria Burger is a standout, combining two house favorites into one epic creation.

Southern Fried Chicken & Wings

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside — our Southern fried chicken and wings are brined, seasoned, and fried to golden perfection. Choose from a range of house-made sauces and dry rubs that pull from Korean and Southern traditions.

Frozen Margaritas & Drinks

Wash it all down with our adult-only frozen margaritas, blended with the perfect balance of sweetness and fresh lime. We also offer a selection of beers, soft drinks, and other refreshing beverages to complement your meal.
