    Food very good, at lunch time needs to wait for maybe 20min, worthy! I ordered carnitas, tacos and soup, all are delicious.

    What can I say that others haven't said. Delicious tacos and good portions. The best part? The prices. Some sit-down taco places can get pricey quickly, but it wasn't the case here. Staff was super fast and friendly. Place can feel chaotic at moments, but that's part of the place itself. There was a line to get in, but it went by pretty quick.

    Some of my favorite carnitas tacos in the city. Two tacos are enough to fill the belly. The best combo for me is one surtida and one costilla. Jamaica (hibiscus) water also really good in this place. They are a local favorite and they are always crowded at any time. You can seat at the restaurant or across the street there’s a stand from the same place but the stand is cash only.

    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!

    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.

    a true local spot with a great local atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommended. We may need 15 to 20 min to be seated.

    Second time here and absolutely did not disappoint and tasted the same as a fewyears ago. The tacos we had were Castilla - Puerto and surtida. If you are able to come give them a try please do yourself a favor and come. The flavor and portions are beyond. They offer a huge variety of options of food and drinks. Do not be afraid of the line to get i. Because it has 2 floors and it moves pretty quick. It was 5 of us and it roughly took 10 minutes for a table. The fresh waters are delicious but tacos and beer never disappoint.
