El Turix brought me straight back to the moment I first fell in love with cochinita pibil. I…read moreremembered it as my favorite bite in CDMX, went back years later, and it still holds the crown. The torta is absolutely legendary. A fluffy bolillo roll drenched in juicy, slow-roasted pork, tangy pickled onions, and a salsa that comes in swinging with just the right heat. That salsa alone could clear your sins. It's spicy, vinegary, addictive. I was sweating and smiling like a maniac. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall in Polanco. Cash only, plastic stools, no fanfare. You order at the counter and eat fast because there's almost always a line of locals and tourists in the know. And they serve one thing: cochinita. You can get it in taco form, on a panucho, or in the god-tier torta. Honestly, get all three and thank yourself later. The meat is fall-apart tender and deeply marinated, full of citrus and achiote. The panucho, with that crispy bean-stuffed tortilla base, is underrated perfection. Everything is messy, hot, and dripping with flavor in the best way. El Turix is the kind of place that reminds you why street-style food is unmatched. No hype, no gimmicks, just absolute fire. A must every time I'm in the city.

I love to try new foods and attempt the local language wherever I go... but still it's impossible to mask dumb: I ordered a delicious bowl of Eggs in Xalapa style tomato broth. It arrived but they brought tortillas.... Ok... maybe I should take the (what appeared to be) scrambled eggs out of the broth and into the tortillas? Maybe add some beans and salsa too? No, of course you cannot make tacos out of soup-- idiota!!!! I had to laugh at myself and only one passing server gave me the Rock's stanky eyebrow as broth squirted everywhere! This place is absolutely stunning. The views by the window, the food presentation, the artwork and decor inside and out: I loved it all. It was especially nice that this whole Palanco area is basically one big green park. Again, my Spanish isn't great and I need much more practice but the waitress and the management were so kind and supportive. I would definitely recommend this place for a solo adventurer but it's quaint and yummy enough for a nice group dinner.

I would've thought Mexico City had great food in general, but that wasn't the case. Was there for four days, ate many meals out and this was the only one I really enjoyed. Too bad the place was so hot and stuffy. It was cooler outside than it was inside. All they needed to do was open some windows. Service was great though.

We were greeted right away, seated quickly, and the staff was attentive throughout. The service wasn't overly warm, but it was professional and efficient, which felt pretty typical for the area. The food was the highlight. I ordered the traditional pastor taco, the black pastor taco, and an arrachera taco, and all of them were very good. The black pastor especially stood out. My wife enjoyed her food too, and while my mom didn't love her bistec taco, that seemed more like a personal taste thing than an issue with quality. Drinks were good, everything came out on time, and overall it felt in line with what you'd expect for Polanco. I'd come back for the tacos and would recommend it if you're in the area and craving good pastor.

I sat outside, which made the experience even better great people-watching, amazing energy, and everyone walking by looked effortlessly stylish. Mexico City really is such a trendy, vibrant city. Honestly, I still think about these tacos. I could close my eyes and dream about this place.

Full disclaimer: these are my first tacos in Mexico City. The trumpo was really good!! Highly recommend! The res was good too, but not super standout. The chicharron itself was really good, but I don't know if I love it in a taco. The trumpo with the pineapple really stole the show. It's nice that the 3 tacos come with some potatoes. The potatoes were good! It seemed smashed then fried. Can't go wrong with frying potatoes. Food came out fast! It seems like this place can get super packed and busy, which I would think is a good sign!

I'm so glad that…read moretheir sister restaurant, Entremar, has an identical menu, easier to attain reservations, and it was located near to me in Polanco. Being from California, I was surprised to hear that they opened their newest location at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas last month. We ordered the tuna tostada that people rave about. It was ok. We could have used some more assertive flavor from acid or spice. I couldn't eat a whole fish (their signature dish), so we went with shrimp in their adobo rub in a taco and fish al pastor. These were also just ok, but the price tags are high for their entrees. I've seen pictures of others fish al pastor with onions and cilantro and that certainly would have added something I felt was missing. The one thing we ordered and loved was their seasonal mackerel ceviche which was in an apple/citrus/olive oil sauce. It was unique and delicious. I think their ceviche and aguachile are probably their strengths, but the cost is pretty high to leave feeling underwhelmed. Honestly, we will be going back to mi compa chava for better seafood

The small plates are still tasty and unique but the flavors and portions have gone down. I got the bone marrow sopes, sopa de lima, oxtail gorditas, and beef tongue for tacos this time around. Everything was good, especially the beef tongue tomato stew which was super flavorful. The beef tongue was perfectly tender and so yummy with the broth. It was a bit odd to eat this in tacos though considering there was so much sauce but good by itself as well. The only dish I didn't like was the bone marrow sopes which this time around felt much smaller than when I had it last. There was barely any escamole which we added on and the bone marrow pieces were so small. While it was one of my favorites the last time I visited, I wouldn't get it again.

Located throughout the city, we visited the Polanco location while in the area, which is walking distance from Soumaya. For an early dinner on a weekday, we were the only patrons dining in, but shortly after, the place started getting busy. It's a popular spot. We sat outside on the front patio area where they provide customers with free chips, salsas and their bean dip, which they are known for. I ordered a guava water and tried the shepherd entree, which were al pastor tacos, mixed with onions, peppers, bacon and cheese It didn't take long for our food to arrive and six for one person was way too much! It even was a struggle to eat four of them, which is what my final tally was. My partner fortunately ate two of them, yet wouldn't budge in eating another when I offered. It wasn't that the food wasn't good because it certainly was tasty! It was just heavy, with the melted cheese and all the other fixin's, in addition to the al pastor meat. It was good, but not light. There was a lot to choose from at El Tizoncito, but it looked like most everyone was getting a some sort of an al pastor taco dish. After dining in, I can see why, as it's a solid place for it, which is affordable and casual. It was a solid meal after hours at the museum!
