If you're looking for a place that serves the region's largest variety of taco options, this place…read moreis probably it. We had to visit multiple times to take in those options, and we can also say that their tortillas are among the best, namely because they are built to contain those fillings, unlike others that are simply not quite up to the task. Here are a few tips that we'd like to pass on from what we've learned: - The Lomitos offering is one of the best, bursting with flavor and smokiness. I think it's often overlooked, so definitely grab one of these. - The Lechon, Cochinita, and "Pork Belly" are all great, flavorful and juicy. You can't really go wrong with these, though the "Pork Belly" may not be what you expect, so read on. - The Castacan is the crunchy skin and pork belly that most Westerners think of, so if you're looking for that experience, this is your taco. - The Asado Yucateco (beef) is solid, but a little dry. Pork options are going to dominate it. - The artisanal cerveza is a great pairing with their tacos. If you are a beer snob, it's worth the extra cost. - We think you can pass on the queso fundido. It was more of a cheese blob than what we prefer in a fundido. Plenty of tacos to placate your hunger, so this can be a pass. - The light brown salsa is great, with excellent flavor. The small, dark brown salsa is a tongue-melter, so proceed with caution. I'm a pepper belly, but that salsa probably overwhelmed the great taco flavors, so just know that. Overall, a great place to get the variety and explore it. Seating was comfortable, and service was efficient, though not very chatty. They can get busy at times, which just speaks to the popularity of a well done taco. If you follow the given advice, you may have more of a 5-star experience. We had some of the misses, so you don't have to, though part of the fun is your own exploration. Buen gusto!

What a steal. Came here about 10pm on a Thursday with my girlfriend and it wasnt packed but had…read moreabout 20 customers (holds about 70 max). Its not a particularly fancy or touristy spot which is exactly what we were looking for. They have plastic red tables and matching red chairs. We ordered 5 tacos and I ordered a jamaica and it came out to $99 pesos or just under $6US. Not unheard of in Mexico but insane compared to US. The tacos were all do it yourself. You get a healthy pile of meat on two corn tortillas and another plate of sauces/salsas and limes and a third plate of onion and cilantro. I was able to have them just the way I like them. It was a fantastic meal. My only downside was that they did not serve any beers, wines, or liquors. Guess that makes it more family friendly but when I am on vacation its usually uno mas cervesa para mi. PS: They accept visa and mastercard

I definitely don't get the fanfare of this spot. The service is quick half open air restaurant…read morewith tables in the garden area. This spot is also cash only . They have a large variety of tacos. We opted for 4 tacos each we ordered 6 but they ran out of some of the tacos and that was that . No offer to change. It is known as a spot for breakfast and lunch tacos at cheap prices. We had chicken cilantro tacos , potato and chorizo, eggs with longaniza , bean and chorizo , pork asado, cochinita pibil. The meats seemed not fresh the tacos were not hot at all. All of the meat was precooked in casualas next to the grill . I guess for 1.40 USD for a taco you can't expect much . Based on the recommendations we felt obligated to try. This was a definite one and done for us. We had better tacos in Merida . 16 USD 276.00 pesos.

THE BEST CARNITAS AROUND? - This place is on a busy street near a mall, quite unassuming from the…read moreoutside but very open and pleasant on the inside. It's not super fancy, but very clean and there's a good variety of options on the menu. We ordered the carne con su jugo, three carnitas tacos, and one of their special Samy's style pork tacos, which was kind of like a pastor mole type blend. Everything was very good, the carne con su jugo was pretty smokey from the bacon but hearty and clean once you got used to the smokiness. The Samy style pork was also quite good, taking in notes of mole and pastor, though I have no idea if thats how they made it. The star was the carnitas tho as you get to choose what cuts of carnitas you want. My wife got us the leg and belly cuts, the belly cut was a rich chewy chicharron style and the leg was so tender it may as well been a confit. This specific combo is fantastic, tho I imagine others would be as well. If you got and try only one thing, get the carnitas the way we did, you will want to order them again for sure! Happy eating from John Seeto!

I truly enjoyed my arrachera tacos, I added cheese and these came up with a lot of meat. So much that I was able to make 4 tacos with the meat and tortillas that came for 2 tacos (win!). One thing we didn't like were the cocktails. Cocktails were water down and you could barely taste the tequila or mezcal. Bathrooms could also be a bit more cleaned. Service was good.

I had to eat some bistec before I could double up on the tortillas to actually pick it up. I actually tried the habanero salsa which is common for this area. Just a bit will add amazing flavor; just don't overdo it!!! We also ordered a side of beans which came with tortilla chips. Since the beans had chorizo I couldn't eat them. Hubby said they were amazing! Also amazing is the service. Our order came out very quickly and our waiter was fantastic. This is a relaxed restaurant that is quite clean. You can eat inside or outside.

Gibba is a glorified food stand on the side of the road serving Arab/Mayan fusion…read more I ordered the taco árabe, a "taco" made with pita bread. The filling had a unique mix of meat and cheese which was absolutely delicious! The mix of flavors were unlike anything I have had anywhere in the 27 states of Mexico where I have traveled. They were big and filling enough two was all I could eat. There are some tables if you can find an empty one (this place is popular among locals). The only reason I don't think it's great for kids is because of the location on the side of the road. It's very informal. Food is served on plastic plates covered with plastic bags. This is not a yuppie place, but has amazing food at cheap prices. Cash only. I would definitely go back for more!

Si tienes hambre, mucha y antojo de algo no tan saludable, o bien tu presupuesto no es muy amplio…read more. Este es el lugar que estabas buscando! Te explico rapidito: tienen los clásicos tacos árabes, están bien, pero no son la gran cosa. Tienen sus especialidades que son tacos con queso hecho con tortillas de chipotle o de jalapeño (no son picantes, sólo le dan un sabor diferente). Ya sea en versión gringa o versión burrito, pide uno de estos, son una delicia! Si no eres muy comelón, dos tacos harán la faena.. Si eres de buen diente: prueba los burros y complementa con tacos o mejor aún pídete una bizza (tamaño pizza individual con pan árabe). No es tan difícil elegir: carne con chorizo verde y rojo. Complementa con salsas: chipotle, ajo, verde o roja y disfruta!

First of all, the hype is REAL! I went to the Suc. Circuito location around 11:30 before lunch on…read morea Saturday. I was told locals go here in my area for a quick lunch and it seemed to be the case. All the tables were full but there was no wait. Simple but sturdy wooden chairs and tables, simple decor but well shaded and comfortable. Service was fast, I mean sit down, order tacos, get a drink, get tacos, slather tacos in salsa, inhale tacos, smile in around 3 minutes! Then do it again. I don't normally eat grain, so this was a special, "had to eat it" treat, but the simplicity of the food and absolute mastery of this cook made the experience dream worthy. I started off with Agua Fresca de Jamaica, 2 Poc Chuc Tacos, and a Pollo Poblano. They had 3 salsas varying from Tomato no spicy to Tomatillo mas spicy. I went with a few drops of the Mediano spicy and a bit more of the Tomato no spicy. Honestly, the Poc Chi Tacos needed nothing, the Pork was flavorfully seasoned and well cooked. The pollo Poblano was tasty with thin slices of poblano sautéed with chicken. While tasty as well, I had just eaten my Poc Chuc taco first so it was a bit less favored, I was ready for Poc Chuc taco #2. Next I ordered two sauces tacos. They were out of the Chicarrones Rojo Taco, but I was also excited to try the Cochinita and Carne Adobada which the waiter told me was their take on Al Pastor with pineapple. I got pickled onions on the Cochinita and it was lightly sauced. No added salsa for this round. The flavor was amazing! My fave of the day was Poc Chuc, wonder what adding pickled onions to that would be like? Prolly my dream dish! I might just go back to order the Guisados to go and make my own taco bowl at home. (It looked like they offered this) That way I can cut the grain out and still enjoy the super yummmm! Cost was what I perceived as affordable about $Mx20 per taco, (upcharge for Tortas as an option, or premium tacos like Cochanita) not sure how this compares to other Taquerias because it will likely be my only tacos to try this visit, but I thought it was well priced and reasonable. I believe they only accept cash, but I assumed this and had cash, so I suggest you don't try going without cash. What a treat, and how grateful I am to have experienced such a beloved spot!
