‘Achar’ is acceptable, but the more natural phrasing for asking a location is ‘onde posso encontrar’.
Onde posso encontrar bom taco mexicano?
Since you’re referring to multiple tacos, the adjective must be plural: ‘tacos mexicanos’. Using singular would sound odd unless you mean just one taco.

Adjectives must agree in gender; ‘bona’ is not a Portuguese form. Use ‘bons’ for masculine plural nouns.

Cultural Tip
Tacos are a staple of Mexican street food, but in Brazil they’re often served in specialized Mexican restaurants or food‑truck festivals. In larger cities like São Paulo or Rio, neighborhoods with a strong expatriate community (e.g., Vila Madalena, Ipanema) are good hunting grounds. Remember that ‘taco’ is masculine in Portuguese, so adjectives must agree in gender and number.
