There's no doubt about it — tacos are at the top of everyone's list when it comes to favorite meals. From seafood tacos to veggie alternatives and even flavorful asian fusion, there's something for everyone, and somehow, they never go out of style. We love tacos just as much as the next person, so we've compiled a list of our favorites in Columbus. Next time the lunch spot is up for debate, or next time Tuesday rolls around, check these out. Regardless of your craving, you'll definitely have something to taco 'bout.

Condado Tacos

The possibilities are endless at Condado Taco, where patrons are given the opportunity to order tacos exactly the way they like them. The sushi-like menu gives you options to choose a tortilla, then meat (double if you wish), cheese, and salsa. Finally, top it with a sauce — options range from mild cilantro lime aioli, medium chipotle honey, or the infernal ghost pepper sauce (experts only).

Los Guachos

This local hot spot has made it on many a list for best tacos, including the Food Network's and Rachael Ray's. The taco al pastor, Los Guachos' specialty dish, may be the reason for all that fame. The slow-cooked, marinated pork is carved fresh and served on two warm corn tortillas with onions, cilantro and pineapple — simple, yet satisfying. Get more bang for your buck and enjoy two-for-one al pastor tacos every Wednesday.

Bakersfield Short North

This trendy spot offers up strong margaritas, a hoppin' atmosphere and mouthwatering tacos. While you really can't go wrong with any of them, our favorites are the short rib (with queso fresco, crema, white onion, radish and cilantro) and the huitlacoche (corn truffles with roasted poblano, corn, onion, cotija and cilantro). Chase your choice with a shared pitcher of rosé sangria or a mason jar margarita.  

Hass Tacos, Burritos & Mås

For just under $3, you can order one of the most delectable shrimp tacos in all of Columbus. Hass serves up buttery, seasoned shrimp on a mayo-brushed, warm corn tortilla with cabbage, carrot salad and a bit of salsa "sonora". Is your mouth watering yet?

Taco Loco

Don't let the name scare you — the only crazy thing about Taco Loco is how crazy good the tacos are! For $8.49, you'll get three authentic street-style tacos. You can be classic and opt for the grilled steak, carnitas or chicken, or you can go loco and get the tacos de lengua (grilled cow tongue) — sounds gross, tastes amazing.

El Arepazo Latin Grill

47 N. Pearl Street

This lunch spot in downtown Columbus serves up authentic Latin-American fare in a colorful setting. The fish tacos are nothing to scoff at — one order comes with three gigantic flour tortillas piled high with buttery fried cod, lettuce, corn, avocado and mojito and chipotle sauce. Try an order of fried plantains on the side.

Cuco's Taqueria

When you settle down at a table at Cuco's Taqueria, you'll get more than great tacos — the margarita here packs a serious punch, the atmosphere is friendly, and the salsa bar is an incredible way to start any meal. The fish taco here is certainly the way to go, and it might not hurt to order some queso for the table. Also look out for the Cuco's food truck, which will start serving this summer.

Fado Irish Pub

While an Irish pub might be the last place you'd expect to find a decent taco, Fado will surprise you. The harp battered fish tacos are second to none, with perfect portions of shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, and spicy red chili aioli. We think these go great with any beverage, but go ahead and order a Guinness, just for kicks.

Nada

220 W. Nationwide Boulevard

What's wrong with this swanky spot? Nada. Come by for brunch, lunch or dinner for great food in a fantastic, upscale atmosphere. Opt for the grilled salmon taco with chipotle crema, jalapeño corn pico and cilantro, or the fried avocado taco with chipotle bean purée, pickled cabbage and red onion, maple and pepitas. There are several options when it comes to picking an accompanying margarita, but our favorite is the classic "Nadarita" with tequila, lime juice, triple sec and honey with a salted rim.

Chile Verde Cafe

4852 Sawmill Road

Chile Verde offers up a true taste of the southwest with authentic New Mexican cuisine (and lots of green chile to go with it). We go wild over the Navajo Taco — a hand-rolled flatbread fried baked with your choice of green chile pork, chorizo, chicken or beef, and then topped with black olives, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese and special sauce. It comes with a side of green chile and sour cream, so yes, one taco is enough for a meal.

Park Street Cantina

491 N. Park Street

Park Street Cantina is truly the place to be if you're looking for a party. With an outdoor patio, a plate of three tacos for less than $10, more than 89 brands of tequila, and live music on the weekends, it's a one stop shop for those looking for good food and a good time. Make it by happy hour (4-7 p.m. on weekdays) and get yourself a 32-ounce pitcher for just five dollars.

Mad Mex

1542 N. High Street

If you're a veggie-lover, tacos can be a bit trickier to find. Not so at Mad Mex. The shiitake and asparagus tacos are loved by vegetarians and meat-lovers alike, and come in a trio with marinated mushroom caps, freshly grilled asparagus, goat cheese, cilantro cream and pea tendrils. The margarita specials are also notable, including strange but delightful flavors like strawberry banana and pear.
