The best Mexican food is in…Queanbeyan? Belco? Overlooking the Queanbeyan River, you’ll find our original home nestled in Ray Morton Park - a spot we fell in love with instantly back in 2022.
What started there has grown into something bigger, with our Belconnen location bringing the same energy, food and experience to the north side of Canberra.
Whether you’re after a laid-back hang by the river, tacos with the family, or a few cheeky margaritas with friends - Cartel is built to be your go-to.
Same vibe. Same obsession with good food. Just more places to find us.

Philosophy T.A.C.O.S…but not like you know them.

This is the ultimate taco experience that will change the way you think about tacos.

While we all love a bit of GYG or some Old El Paso from Woolies, what we offer is on a whole different level.

Our recipes are authentic hailing from regions such as Michoacán & Tijuana to name a couple. BUT we’ve definitely juiced things up a bit in terms of presentation & style according to the personalities behind the brand.

We’re obsessed with good food, our way.

History We are a family first & foremost.

Our style of food is exactly how you would eat should you come into our home. No nonsense, full plates & 100% fresh from top to bottom.
