Chihuahua Taqueria

Chihuahua Taqueria is a casual Mexican spot on Byron Street doing tacos on fresh corn tortillas and a long tequila list. It is genuinely dog-friendly, with outdoor seating built for it, which makes it one of the easier dinner stops in town with a dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, including a courtyard at the Byron Street space. Water bowls are usually on hand and staff are good with dogs, but bring your own to be safe. Dogs stay on lead. It is popular, so call ahead to lock in an outdoor table with room for a dog rather than chancing it on arrival.

Good to know. It is known for tacos made by a local Mexican family, free-range produce, jalapeno poppers, grilled corn and proper margaritas. The food is quick and casual, and the courtyard setup suits a dog better than a tight footpath.

Getting there. The address is 8 Byron St. Street parking on Byron Street is busy; the Jonson Lane parking station is about a five minute walk, and Main Beach is only a few minutes on foot.

Nearby with the dogs. Main Beach is a short walk for an on-lead stroll, and Apex Park near the beach is a grassy spot to let your dog stretch before sitting down.

Phone ahead for an outdoor table on busy nights and walk the beach first so your dog settles for the meal.
