The Laughing Taco / Facebook If you keep heading down 1st Street, you’ll run into Walker’s Point’s newest taco spot, The Laughing Taco. This little shop is a great spot to grab-and-go.

Andy G. / Yelp Going further down National, you’ll find La Casa De Alberto!

- Vagabond
Ally W. / Yelp
Vagabond / Facebook Last, but not least on our taco excursion is Vagabond. This downtown spot is the coolest, and the Tuesday and Thursday taco deals are the best.

Vagabond is located at 1122 N. Edison St., Milwaukee.
