Joo Chiat, known for its trendy cafes, now has a vibrant new addition offering hearty Mexican fare. Bored Tacos, a Muslim-owned eatery by the team behind Wooly’s Bagels, brings a flavorful twist to the neighborhood. The menu is packed with Mexican classics like tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and nachos topped with cheese, guacamole, salsa, and beef chili, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Tacos are the star of the menu, with four enticing options: beef, chicken, lamb, and garlic prawns. For a more filling option, diners can choose from burritos loaded with birria beef or Cajun chicken, or opt for burrito bowls with rice for a lighter twist. The retro-inspired decor adds a playful touch, with bright-colored walls and quirky trinkets creating a lively atmosphere. The eye-catching exterior sign makes Bored Tacos hard to miss, offering a refreshing alternative to Joo Chiat’s cafe scene.
The eatery’s compact space, with just a handful of tables, lends itself more to intimate dining or takeaway rather than large group gatherings. While this setup may not fit the communal dining often associated with Mexican cuisine, it highlights Bored Tacos’ focus on convenience without compromising on flavor. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a meal on the go, Bored Tacos is a welcome addition to Joo Chiat’s dining options.
