About Taco Riendo
Taco Riendo works from 6038 Main Street in Oliver, on the same straight stretch that carries most of the town's shops and eating places. The name suggests a menu built around Mexican-style dishes, though as with any small kitchen the exact lineup is easiest confirmed with a look at what is posted at the door or a stop in to ask.
Restaurants of this size vary enormously from one to the next, which is much of the pleasure of them. Some run a short, focused list, others stretch further with daily specials, and how a kitchen handles its sauces and sides is usually where it shows its hand. If you are ordering for a group, or want to know what is being made on a given day, going in and asking is the reliable approach. Counter service places also tend to keep hours that follow their own trade rather than a fixed office schedule, so an early evening visit is a safer bet than a late one.
The setting helps. Oliver's main street is short, flat and shaded, and the businesses along it sit close enough together that a meal can be folded into other errands without moving the car. Highway traffic between Penticton and Osoyoos passes directly through, which keeps a steady flow of people on the street through the summer months, while winter belongs mostly to the town itself. Anyone driving in from the benchlands or the vineyard roads to the south will find the block easy to spot, with curbside parking usually available outside the busiest weekends of the season.
