A TACO takeover is underway as crowds have been flocking to the newest restaurant to open in East Oxford.

The Taco Bandits have moved from often being spotted as a pop-up at many Oxford food festivals to opening a new permanent space in Magdalen Road.

It opened on Monday, May 14, and had a 'more than positive' response according to owners Ben Gibbons and Oliver Lee.

Mr Gibbons added: "The first week has gone really well, we weren't expecting to be quite so busy so we are really pleased.

"Feedback has been great and one guyeven said he'd been travelling America tasting tacos and said ours were better than anything he tasted out there - a huge compliment."

The duo have already had offers to book out the entire restaurant and pop-up bookings off the back of the restaurant opening.

Mr Gibbons added: "We've always wanted somewhere to call home, now with our own permanent spot we get to be more creative and further expand our menu."
