Things relative to the words ‘trippy’ and ‘taco’ are generally pretty good.

Apply this rule to Smith Street’s hot Mexican cafe Trippy Taco and you get double the goodness.

Hit up Trippy to immediately stifle a grumbling tummy with glorious nachos, quesadillas, burritos and tacos, all hovering around the $10 mark.

This casual place is the best for those days you are defeated to find only a collection of ‘poo change’ in your wallet but need something warm and spicy to keep you alive.

Trippy is bound to the doctrine of the hippy, mostly all the options are vegan and gluten-free. But if you’re really missing that meat flavour try the ‘trippy fries’ that taste a bit like they have been covered in powdered bacon.

Beans, cheese, guacamole and incredible salsa full of miraculous ingredients (I found sultanas in there once), ensure a tasty Mexican feast that will truly satisfy.

It could prove a struggle to fit in the door and finding a seat is definitely in issue. But keep your ears out because Trippy will shortly relocate just around the corner to a bigger space.

You will almost certainly walk out with half your burrito all over your face, or your pants. But your previously drooling mouth will be smiling with content, perhaps brought on by a little something extra in the food. Who knows?
