    So so so good. It’s away from most of the things to do in Mexico City but so worth it. Rib taco is the best!! Service is fast, prices and quantity is awesome! Loved it

    This place has always a line at the outside despite having 2 floors, main reasons are the pork meat they prepare in tacos as well other diverse dishes with good quality, very recommended

    With more than 36k reviews had to check it out. Long line when i arrived. Got the costilla, macizo and surtida (mix of all pork bits). Macizo, costilla was tender fall of the bone, but both were a bit dry. The surtida was mind blowing, taste and moistness in point

    Wow, this busy place served the best tacos we had so far in Mexico. There is a huge variety of tacos with pork and chicken. They also offer different kinds of soup and desserts. We definitely come back!

    Probably this place has the best al pastor out of all the places we visited. Very well marinated meat with chopped pineapple. The costilla and chamorro are quite dry. Bistec is a little better. Campechano is okay. The soup is pretty good, lighter than the other Mexican food we had. It has cubed cheese, mushroom, some other veggie, and shredded chicken. I didn't really like the flan because it has an alcohol taste from the eggnog and because the texture is quite hard for a flan, almost similar to jelly. Very spacious place, fast service.

    Delicious! When we arrived there was a line wrapped around the outside and for a moment that discouraged us since we were very hungry. But we entered within 10 minutes and were seated. Service is fast and friendly. Very efficient. We wanted to try many things, so we ordered the poblano soup [my favorite, it tasted like chicken soup, with mushrooms, chicken, poblanos and squash flowers], the tortilla soup [my husbands favorite, with cheese, tortillas, tomato broth], the costilla de res [beef rib] taco, the maciza taco, two pastor tacos [have pineapple] and two costilla [pork rib] tacos. We also ordered a 100ml sour cream and two aqua minerals. So inexpensive! The tortillas were FILLED with the most delicious and tender meats. It was fun trying all of the different salsas and toppings, too. In the end it was difficult to pick a single winner, but it may lean slightly towards the costilla de res taco. All I can say is I would wait hungry for an hour to eat there again. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Check this place out! Clean bathrooms as well!

    This is the most high rated taco shop in Mexico city, so as a taco lover I felt like I had to visit this place. Honestly about the taste, I would only give ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the taste itself was not that impressive, but the size and portion of the taco were very generous, so I gave 4 starts. I think people like this place because of the nice service and the portion of the food.

    Absolutely delicious carnitas. Get the surtida (assorted) tacos so you can try carnitas from every part of the pig. 3 tacos are enough to split between 2 people, as they stuff them super full of meat. The 2 of us ordered 4 tacos and couldn’t finish. The tortilla soup was a surprise favorite as well.

  • 5/5 Foysol M. 3 years ago on Google
    The best meat tacos and carnitas I have eaten. Had to come back a second time before leaving Mexico. I tried Costilla (rib), Cuero (skin), Mociza and Longaniza. All very good but Costilla is just perfection. Also try the cinnamon coffee, really nice. The service is impressively fast. The staff are warm, authentic and very helpful. Not your typical tourist place that caters for English speaking tourists. I think only one staff member speaks English. And the food is so cheap it’s almost embarrassing to leave without a 50% tip.

    Definitely come hungry because the portions will have your mouth watering. You must try the chicharon (fried pork skin). I had the pork tacos ( carnitas) with pork skin.

  • 5/5 Luis A. 2 years ago on Google
    More than a bite size taco. Great meat Nd better salsas. If you need more room for the tacos, try across the street where you can eat at a table standing up.

    I just love the food there. The service is pretty good and fast. The only problem I see is the amount of people. But that would be the only thing I can disagree with.

  • 5/5 Beatriz L. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge tacos. Great service. Clean place. Great prices. I came here cause I randomly saw it on Google Maps and the almost 35.000 reviews and I had to come. Congratulations to the owner. Greetings from Uruguay!

  • 5/5 Victor N. 2 years ago on Google
    Very well made and you will not be able to finish it you are not hungry. They are very well stuffed. It is a very busy taqueria.

  • 1/5 Connor M. 1 year ago on Google
    The tacos de carnitas were not good. Worst tacos I've had in all of Mexico. There are plenty of better places around. Very overrated.

  • 5/5 Karel 1 year ago on Google
    This place is cool!!! The service is extremely fast and good! Then loved all the food I tasted! You should try guys!!

  • 4/5 Thomas G. 1 year ago on Google
    The quantity of the food served is very generous. The quality is good. Keep a close eye on the safe food handling practices. Maybe stop here at the very end of your trip, if you do stop. Order just one taco to start. If you like what you see, Go and order a second. Trust your gut. Don't trust mine. ;-)

  • 5/5 Fiona M. 1 year ago on Google
    Utterly delicious, soft and fluffy tortilla with bite and moist juicy meat. Wonderful service, will go back to try more items!

    I had lunch today and totally enjoyed it. I love the poblano soup, the pastor, and the pineapple with mint drink. It’s really awesome and the staffs are great. I will miss this place 👍

  • 5/5 Ricardo E S. 10 months ago on Google
    A very nice restaurant grab some tacos which are tasty, service is fast and they serve a good amount of meat in each tacos. Facilities are clean and you can see how they prepare the food.

  • 5/5 Noe E. 9 months ago on Google
    This place has a wide variety of dishes, but the one I always get is the “Chamorro de puerco” (pork shank)! Coke with its side of pork beans and guacamole! Tender, flavorful and just the right amount of greasy!!! Not for the health conscious!!! Great place to eat!!!

  • 5/5 Adam S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great mexican tacos with a variety of meats and natural juices. Meat was 340 pesos for a kilo with fixings. There is a line but it is a big seating area, and they serve the food right away. Great service.

  • 5/5 Nastaran H. 4 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jose Alberto Monjaras P. 3 years ago on Google
    Muy ricos. Y se puede comer de rápido afuera sin esperar mesa. Pagas lo que te vas a comer y los pides a los taqueros. En lo personal siempre ha sido muy rápido. Por época de pandemia podrían no tener servicio en el lugar o solo para comer adentro o solo afuera o solo para llevar. He ido y han cambiado un poco el funcionamiento de una semana a la otra pero por las mismas indicaciones que las autoridades les permiten operar.

  • 5/5 Mistakes were m. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful service and very tasty food. The ribs were very tasty, as was the longaniza. They also have chicken breast that wasn't spicy at all for people that have issues with spice you can actually eat here! I would strongly suggest not getting the fried taco. They were over cooked in my opinion. On the table there was a dark sauce like a very good barbecue sauce, a medium spicy salsa, limes, and a tasty guacamole. My waitress also brought cactus, potatoes, and spicy sauteed onions they were very good with the sausage and the chicken. She also brought Jicama with spice and lime. Reasonable prices and very full tacos.

    So good. Went around 1:15 pm on a Monday and was very busy but easily got a seat. I got the costilla (rib) and lengua (tongue) carnitas tacos and an al pastor taco. All very good with tons of meat

  • 4/5 Zac B. 6 years ago on Google
    Excellent tacos! Definitely try the costilla taco. This is a carnitas taco with the rib bone still in place! Just slide it out and eat away.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 3 years ago on Google
    This is one of the top delicious places to eat tacos in Mexico City, always I'm in Mexico city I come here. My recommendation : Taco de costilla

  • 5/5 Stas M. 6 years ago on Google
    Prices are excellent for some great tacos. The rib one (top of the menu for 21 pesos) is amazing. You can just get the meat off the bone with the plastic fork, it's so soft, it falls off.
