Taconeta is an artisanal Mexican restaurant specializing in handcrafted tacos made with quality ingredients and house-made tortillas. Located near downtown El Paso, Taconeta embraces the ancient process of nixtamal to showcase artisanal corn in a casual setting.

This adaptive reuse project, completed in January 2020, transformed a former car dealership into a vibrant dining space featuring Central Mexican design elements and a walk-up window that enhances the local, pedestrian-friendly vibe. Situated within Working Capitol, a coworking space, Taconeta complements nearby businesses like Salt + Honey Bakery Café, fostering a collaborative atmosphere.
