Swell Taco
A small taco stand on the Homer Spit with handmade tortillas and fried or grilled halibut; the most popular affordable lunch while exploring the Spit.
A small taco stand on the Homer Spit with a simple menu and handmade corn tortillas. The must-order is the halibut taco with lime crema. There are also rockfish tacos and halibut cheek tacos, served with hibiscus agua fresca. Each taco costs about $7.50–8.50. Lines form on summer afternoons, but the food comes out quickly. There is a gluten-free menu, but the fried batter uses low-gluten beer, so those sensitive to gluten should order the grilled fish. The stand operates only in summer and is listed as closed in winter.
Opening hours
Seasonal (about May–September), roughly 12:00–8:00 p.m.; closed Tuesdays
