Vibrant Mexican restaurant with colorful decor and fresh ingredients. Authentic tacos, tostadas, and quesadillas using Icelandic fish and lamb. Fun atmosphere with good cocktails and reasonable prices for Reykjavik.
Tres Locos brings a vibrant, colorful take on Mexican cuisine to Hlemmur Food Hall in Reykjavík, adapting classic tacos, tostadas, and quesadillas to make use of Icelandic fish and lamb alongside more traditional Mexican ingredients. The result is a menu that feels recognizably Mexican in format while reflecting the local seafood and meat available in Iceland, giving visitors a distinctive fusion rather than a straightforward import of Mexican street food. The atmosphere inside the stall and surrounding food hall seating is fun and informal, supported by a solid cocktail selection that pairs well with the bold flavors on the menu. Pricing is reasonable relative to Reykjavík dining generally, making it an approachable choice for a casual meal. As part of the food hall, Tres Locos operates on a walk-in basis without a dedicated reservation system.
