Chippendale’s Newest Taqueria: Radio Taco

/ 30 October 2025

Three Mexican friends have opened Radio Taco on Abercrombie Street, and the tiny 12-seat corner shop has been selling out daily since launch.

Chef Aldo Lara, Pablo Galindo from Milpa Collective, and Héctor Valles Ola Lola Catering & Events are bringing authentic Jalisco street taqueria vibes to Chippendale.

The menu focuses exclusively on birria, slow-cooked beef that melts in your mouth and comes with the signature rich consommé for dipping. Whether you order it as tacos, quesatacos, or even birria ramen, that tender, flavour-packed beef paired with the aromatic broth delivers the real deal.

Lara keeps it simple: “We cook it slow, use the best Australian beef, and stay true to the recipes we grew up with. Authentic flavours, no shortcuts.” The daily queues forming outside this takeaway-focused spot prove Sydney’s appetite for genuine Mexican street food. Trust us, this is birria done right.
