A hidden taco spot that you will want to keep a secret.
Taco Medic is the perfect place to satisfy that mexican craving. Everything is made right in front of you on the hot plate. Service is as fresh and sharp as the food.
The menu is completely gluten free and safe for coeliacs. Better yet it is top notch. The nacho chips with dip, Stockman Beef, and Kentuckyman Chicken stood out. Each dish pops in the mouth and was perfectly balanced. Why not enjoy a frozen margarita too?
The space is brimming with energy. However if you have accessibility needs or prefer a chair it is tight. Better to place your order and then head outside or to the waterfront.
Whether a quick snack, lunch, or a hangover cure - you won’t be disappointed with Taco Medic.

I was blown away by the depth of flavour of each dish. I had the adobo chicken taco and pork belly tacos with esquites. Everything was absolutely divine. Just all around amazing quality and a gem that you must visit if you're in Queenstown. This is my first night here and this set the bar really high for a nice easy dinner. Also, very reasonably priced because you get high quality for what you pay. I'll be back for sure. Thanks for such an amazing experience.
Good for take away , staffs are friendly and the tacos are great. 👍🏼🥰 the fries are also nice ✌🏻☺️
Amazing Vegetarian Tacos. They have good enough Spicy sauces to make tacos spicy for Spicy lovers.
Really tasty tacos, we spent about $35 on 5 tacos. Good range of fillings and they are loaded so fill you up!
The only thing to let it down is the actual tortilla of the taco - tastes cheap and floury. Nothing mexican about it, would much prefer corn or something more authentic.
Amazing tacos, great vegetarian and fish options. You can tell the tacos were well thought through and planned and really took into account culture.
Would definitely recommend tourists and locals to drop by. Better then other Mexican/Latino places too.
From the moment you step inside, you can feel the passion and thoughtfulness imbued into this beautiful place. The people were so friendly. The tacos were sooo good. Even the little glass bottles of sauce were spot on. It truly makes me happy to know places like this exist.
Taco Medix was amazing! 😁👍 The food was incredible, fresh and super delicious. The service was super friendly and approachable. There's also merch you can buy inside! (Hoodies, beanies and even hot sauces!) Definitely one of my favourite stops in Queenstown. Highly recommended!
One of the best Nachos I’ve ever eaten. The food was delicious. reasonable in price and a lovely atmosphere.
Came here because it's $6 tacos on Tuesdays (normally $8 a taco). I got the pulled pork, prawns and pan seared fish tacos with a side of nacho chips. All were delicious and sauce of different spiciness levels are provided. Make sure to come early because they ran out of tortillas and a lot of people missed out. Apparently I got the last order which was very lucky. The staff are super friendly and made my experience even better.
So putting the absolute awesomeness that is being completely gluten free aside, the food is incredible! I’d highly recommend the Bajaman and Ken Tuckyman tacos, plus the beef nachos. Also don’t forget to get the churros with the dulce de leche sauce! They’re so freaking good but you may want to share with a friend as you get four and two are more than enough.
This place is amazing. Just proves that food quality in Queenstown comes in all shapes and sizes. Started off as a taco truck and now it’s a hole in the wall restaurant. The staff are friendly and happy to chat through the menu. Tacos were absolutely delicious. We had 3 tacos each. The prawn and fish were fresh, delicious and plentiful. The chicken was great also.
The brown-haired young man who served us was delightful (it's the second time I've come, before, the same guy used to work with a very efficient light brown hair girl as well, I remember that there were too many people that time and watching them work together was a sight). He brought us menus to our sit and took our order, besides we asked him the history of the place, which he kindly told us.. Despite the place being quite crowded, and he was alone, we didn't have to wait long. He worked pretty quickly, and he was also funny because his name is 'Training,' although he seemed like a true professional, as well as good-looking. The music was also amazing, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was very good too. The only downside is that they don't have heaters; you can feel the cold both outside and inside, and the outdoor tables aren't very pleasant to the eye. Aside from that, I can say that dining at Taco Medic is a pleasant experience
I’m going to write a different perspective of a review for Taco Medic, a personable review. Food was lovely, great serving sizes but the real winner was the couple making the food with love. Watching them put on their favourite song and have a little dance and giggle while preparing our food was as heart warming as the food. True love in Mexican food form. Welldone guys, keep up the good energy, kitchen giggles and culinary grooves. It’s always nice to see the staff in their element both their energy and the culture.
Was going to leave a 5/5 review but my honest feed back would be for Taco Medic to dim the lighting inside for a cozy atmosphere and a squeeze of lime juice would have lifted your amazing food.
The tacos here are so great that we came back again just two days later! The soft tacos are cut and prepared right in front of you, and the other ingredients are also fresh, and at $7 they are excellent value.
Our favourites were the Bajaman (baja-style fried monk fish) which was just incredible and such fresh, tender monk fish, and the Koura (marinated prawns) was also tangy and succulent. We tried most of them including one from their veggie/vegan menu and they all were superb.
The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients, and it was great watching them work from the indoor seating which looks over their work counter. For drinks, we enjoyed their range of natural organic sodas.
The tacos here are amazing! I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu, whether it’s fish, chicken, or pork belly. They were all delicious and I loved the purple corn taco shells! The place is small and cosy and tucked away in a little laneway. Service is friendly and quick. One taco is $8, two for $15 or 3 for $21. It’s definitely a must try if you’re in Queenstown
Really incredible, worth the wait! Unassuming fresh made tacos, great flavour and reasonable prices.
They fry the tacos in batches so you may need to wait for a slot.
We had the producer, Ken tucky, harvester, stockman, cajun florets and string fries.
My favourite was surprisingly the harvester, really scrumptious.
Florets were pretty special too.
10/10 taco medic you guys are on!! Ordered 4x tacos (the adoboman ,al pastor, koura, and bajaman) and the chicken tenders and holy s**t was it good. Authentic corn tortillas, fresh salsa and the spices and flavours were so good I couldn't pick a favorite. Glad I had the Corona to wash it all down with it was like Mexico came to Aotearoa. Definitely recommended stopping in here for a feed if you're ever in queenstown.
Easily the best tacos in Queenstown, probably the best in New Zealand. Great service and reasonable prices. I tried the fish, the prawn and the pork tacos. Each one was incredible, but the fish taco was a standout. Be mindful that the place is tiny and there is only enough indoor seating for about ten people (but there are some benches outside). Best to go outside if peak dining hour to get a seat inside.
