Ben's Guide to Taipei and Taiwan

They have decent Mexican food at average prices. Locations: Fuxing N. Rd. No. 202 / 復興北路 202 號 / Fùxīng Běi Lù 202 Hào Guangfu S. Rd, Lane 280, No. 28 / 光復南路 280巷 28 號 / Guāngfù Nán Lù 280 Xiàng 28 Hào

There are probably places in Taipei City where you can find specialty foods, but if you live in Yonghe or Zhonghe then this will be an option for you. Near the Yongan Market MRT and the Zhonghe park there is a small grocery store selling specialty items including spices, liquors, and Mexican ingredients such as tortillas, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeno peppers. Some items have clearly come from Costco but there are other items you will not find elsewhere. 中和市 宜安路118巷14號 Zhonghe City, Yi-an Rd, Lane 118, No. 14 Zhōng hé Shì, Yí-ān Lù, 118 Xiàng, 14 Hào

There are a handful of Mexican Restaurants in Taipei, but I would kill for a Chipotle burrito. The only one I've been to is Tequila Sunrise and all I can say is don't do it . The food was bland and overpriced. There was really nothing to make it stand out. The decor was ok, but that only gets you so far. They did do a decent margarita, but that only stimulated my appetite and made me more disappointed with my meal. Edit 9/2007: Amigo is not bad.
