About Us – Mr. Taco Wasilla
Where Authentic Mexican Flavors Meet Alaskan Spirit
At Mr. Taco in Wasilla, Alaska, we’re more than just a restaurant—we’re a celebration of tradition, family, and bold, unforgettable flavors. Born from a passion for true Mexican cuisine and a love for the tight-knit Alaskan community, we bring the warmth and vibrancy of Mexico to the Last Frontier.
Our Story: From Zacatecas to Wasilla
Leading our kitchen is Chef Jorge Robles, a culinary maestro hailing from Zacatecas, Mexico. With generations of family recipes and decades of experience, Chef Jorge crafts every dish with the same care and authenticity as in his hometown. From slow-cooked carnitas to hand-pressed tortillas and smoky salsas, each bite tells a story of Mexican heritage—now shared with Wasilla.
Our Food: Tradition Made Fresh
We believe in real ingredients, real flavors, and real love in every dish. That’s why we:
-
Source fresh, local Alaskan ingredients whenever possible.
-
Import key spices and staples directly from Mexico for true authenticity.
-
Prepare everything in-house, daily—no shortcuts, no compromises.
Whether it’s our famous street tacos, loaded molcajete bowls, or homemade horchata, we invite you to taste the difference tradition makes.
Our Mission: A Fiesta for the Community
Mr. Taco was built to be a place where Alaskans and visitors alike can gather, feast, and feel like family. We’re proud to share our culture through food, music, and the kind of hospitality that makes every guest feel at home.

Stopped by for a snack and just a snack; had to go to dinner later. Well oh my gosh I don’t know if I’m going to dinner later, this was AMAZING! And they knew we had to leave fast so let us sit at a table but still packed it up just in case. And the taco I got, I’m angry I have to eat something else tonight. This is one of the BEST damn tacos I’ve ever had, my taste buds are singing!

Absolutely delicious carnitas tacos… Good as the ones back in Mexico!
I wasn’t expecting to find tacos this good all the way in Alaska, but these blew me away. The carnitas were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, topped with fresh cilantro and onions, just like they should be. The roasted jalapeño and lime on the side were a great touch too. Super recommendable, especially for the price — great value and authentic flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back!
The restaurant has alot options like pozole, tamales, and more

I was hesitant because I live in Arizona part time so I know good Mexican food but given their reviews I decided to try them. We ordered the nachos & an enchilada. They did not disappoint! The tomatoes were super fresh. The enchilada was very unique and delicious. The serving was generous & pricing great. Their salsa bar had a lot of delicious choices and all the salsas were very tasty. The dining area was decorated cute and was very clean. The thing that stood out the most, the staff! She was so friendly, inviting, & helpful! Best service I’ve had in a long time!
