Came here cause Phil came here on his show "Somebody feed Phil" which we love! Awesome awesome tacos. Clean, fast, friendly service. I only had the al pastor because they were perfect. At 6 and total bill was like $10 with a soda!! Meat was melt in your mouth tender with the correct amount of char. The tortillas were soft and fluffy. I liked the added touch of sautéed onion vs raw. You get a little tray filled with 5-6 different salsas to try. Overall Phil didnt disappoint - really loved it here.
We heard a lot of good things about this place and had to try it ! Cute place with fast and friendly servers. The restaurant was clean and small but since service was so fast there was always an empty table and not a long wait. We were a party of 6, but decided to split into 2 parties of 3 so that we could be seated right away. We ordered the Al pastor and I'm not a big Al pastor person but the flavors and seasonings of this Al pastor was soo tasty and juicy. My favorite is the succulent suadero tacos ! Amazing flavors and plenty of meat for each taco. Good tacos and great service ! Highly recommend this place.
El Hueqito delivers huge Al Pastor tacos that are great quality and worth checking out! While traveling in Mexico, tacos are a given. There are so many different types of tacos also! You can get something simple like on the street or you can get something a little more fancy. El Huequito is definitely on the fancier side! With table side service and a selection of salsas to choose from, the dining experience is a nice change of pace especially after a long day of walking around. Everyone talks about the Al Pastor and these did not disappoint. The especial came in a mountain of Al Pastor meat drenched with salsa and tortillas fit to make several decent filled tacos. The meat was nice and juicy. The service was quick and friendly. They do take credit card! Overall, El Huequito has great tacos worth checking out especially if you are in the mood for some Al Pastor tacos.
El lugar es agradable, a medio día no hay demasiado ruido. Vine con un amigo y nos sentamos en la esquina del lugar, hay sufientes mesas. Es un sitio donde sirven buena comida y no demoran mucho tiempo en traerla. La calidad de las salsas le da el toque perfecto a la carne. Existe estilo vegetariano y carne asada de pechuga de pollo. La atención fue la adecuada.
Went here little late.. Close to closing time. Tacos were pretty good.. I had the Azteca soup which tasted ok.. But the soup was Luke warm.. I prefer my soup hotter... It wasn't too bad but I would not order again. The tacos were huge.. You pay little more then next door but it's about twice the meat.. Meat was nice and tender and good flavored.. Price was also good.
Overall a very clean place, however the prices will be a bit higher than your average taqueria. However worth it if you're looking for something that's more upscale than standing on the street but not expensive as eating in a restaurant where people speak English. El torro del pastor is really worth it, it's a mix of pastor, cheese, onions and like 8 tortillas.
We came here for their Al pastor tacos! We came late so the dine in area was closed already. Luckily they left us ordered to eat outside. It's a fun and different experience to eat Street tacos. The Al pastor tacos here are very good. One of the best that I ever had. I would totally come back again for more!
Sweet lord - these were some good tacos. If you want a place you can sit down and enjoy some al pastor with a beer this is it. I love the street tacos but it's also nice to be able to sit, pay with card and enjoy food leisurely with good service. The al pastor tacos were very good - not as sweet but certainly as flavorful as other places. I also got the queso relleno with al pastor, which was a full meal! It was the size of a burrito and came in two pieces featuring a hunk of al pastor lightly fried in cheese with a tortilla around each. The salsas were good to - would absolutely recommend if you're near the zocalo and want to sit down for a meal
Yet another taqueria that claims to have invented the al pastor, this one has quite a bit more to offer on their menu. In comparing this place to el Tizoncito, Tizomcito has the better al pastor. That said, this is still a great spot to eat. Great the al pastor supreme which is basically an al pastor tower for you to make your own. Very Instagram worthy. We also order their namesake alambre. It's basically 3 types of meat with melted cheese, onions, and peppers. It was very good and a ton of meat. The only thing I disliked about this place was that the waiter tried to be a bit sneaky. I gave him 500 pesos to get change for a tip but instead of giving me smaller denominations, he gave me large bills. This resulted in me giving him a smaller tip than the one that I had originally intended.
Oh man, like most places in CDMX, it was really easy as an americano to communicate with the staff. They were very excited to share their culture with me, which I really appreciated. The waiter suggested their classic taco, which I enjoyed, but what i really came for was a torta. The waiter recommended the arrachera. It's hard to even describe this sandwich. I'm not sure I've had anything like this arrachera torta. It was beef with cheese, I think mayo and avocado? I'm writing this review a few days after I ate it so I could be mistaken......NONETHLESS, I left very happy. If you get this, you will not be disappointed. Viva Mexico!
While neighboring Taqueria Los Cocuyos gets a lot of the attention having been blessed by Bourdain, El Huequito's pastor should not be missed if you're in CDMX. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? El Huequito is a sit down spot, so go next door if you're on the fly, but if you're able to have a seat you'll enjoy some fast, friendly, and English-speaking service at El Huequito. It isn't fancy, but it gets the job done. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? El Huequito charges what is a fair market price of 18 MXP for their pastor tacos, which is entirely reasonable. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? The pastor at El Huequito is the flagship offering, and you'll quickly understand why. While it's not the red-tinted tangy pastor with pineapple that you might be used to, the flavors at El Huequito are strong and the pastor tender. My only gripe was that the peripherals were a bit weak - good salsas, but no onions or cilantro to speak of and tortillas that were just okay. Single Star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Especially because Los Cocuyos doesn't have pastor tacos, El Huequito is a must visit for Pastor in this part of town. Star.
If the al pastor tacos are this good at all El Huequito locations, go there. We only intended to get one taco each and move on but they were so good that we ended up getting a second. I had one with meat only and the second "con todo" which in this case means served with both a red and green salsa. This is probably a minority opinion but I preferred the meat-only taco. I could really appreciate the flavor of the meat and the texture of the crispy edges with just a squeeze of lime. Service was fast and easy. I can't speak to the atmosphere so much as we ate outside at the small bar on the street. Well worth the stop. read more

This is for Al Pastor tacos! The pastor tacos are one of the best I've had here in Mexico City! Super fresh, fatty yummy pork served with fresh tortillas. There are so many fresh salsas and guacamole provided at the table. All are so tasty and vary from mild to habanero. Highly recommend read more
El Huequito is practically right next door to a Taqueria Los Cocuyos, a well known street taco stand. We ate at Los Cocuyos also and thought that El Huequito was much, much better. Tacos Al Carbon Especial con Queso: this will get you a mound of al pastor meat mixed with grilled onions, covered with melted cheese and served with 6 or 7 corn tortillas. You can easily make 6 or 7 tacos with this. Queso Relleno: This is an item that El Huequito's menu claims is their own unique creation. It was one of our favorite things we ate during the trip. It translates to "stuffed cheese" and is called that because they pan fried a thin layer of cheese, making it into something similar to a crepe, fill it with your choice of meats and other items, roll it up and then serve it on top of a tortilla. It was a flavor bomb! We ate at El Huequito twice and ordered two different variations of the Qeuso Relleno. One order of Queso Relleno is sliced into two pieces and can easily be shared. Highly recommended! They do have a few copies of menu in English that you can request. read more

Highly recommend this place for tacos al pastor, the food of Mexico City! You can probably find a million places with delicious tacos in the city, and they are likely to be as good as the ones here. The interior of the restaurant is very colorful and clean. I was seated right away for lunch and the waiter was very responsive and helpful. Some basic Spanish is enough to understand the menu and order the good stuff. I recommend getting the classic al pastor with everything (photo below). It'll definitely be filling and the variety of sauces is a plus. I didn't try the Aztec soup at the time, and now wish that I had based on other reviews! read more
El Huequito is legendary when it comes to Al Pastor. Mexico City's signature taco. Their outpost at Bolivar is large and comfortable. Service here is pretty fine as well, so you will be pretty okay while sitting in this - rather ugly - restaurant. Well, well.. food is the most important thing and you will not be disappointed. At least not if you choose the al pastor especial con queso. A meat-heavy dish not suited for vegetarians. A pile of al pastor on freshly made tortillas. Top that with your favourite salsas and you will be pretty happy. read more

Had breakfast here and it was delicious. I had the enchiladas with red sauce and my wife had desayuno mexicano with salsa de naranja. A little spicy just so you know but very good. And it comes with cafe de olla, orange juice and fruit. read more

Good place for al pastor tacos. Regular al pastor tacos come rolled up and are tiny so make sure to order plenty. We had so speciality tacos that had cheese, were bigger and tasted great. Nice helpful staff. read more

Very good tacos with a great place to sit down and relax. I think you can probably find better tacos in Mexico City but often they are street corner taco stands with a few plastic stools if you're lucky. If you want very good tacos and a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a more leisurely meal, this is a great place! We heard about it because of Somebody Feed Phil and tried a variety of tacos and the Pastor Special. We thought we would be trying different flavors and about five tacos total. We actually got four tacos and the Pastor Special turned out to be a huge pile of meat, salsa, toppings and about eight tortillas! So we couldn't quite finish it all but it was amazing. Maybe we should have just ordered the Pastor Special- it was so good! Guacamole was also very good and service was friendly. A lot of the people relaxing and enjoying a slow lunch seemed to be locals. read more

We found this place due to Yelp. It was a great find, thank you fellow Yelpers. Still to this day my favorite tacos are TJ Tacos from Tacos El Gordo. This place was good too and worth the visit. Everything was fresh and had a wonderful taste. I would recommend the taco's Pastor with their green salsa. The service rocked and they were very friendly to travelers, such as myself. read more

Super yummy!! You can tell it's fresh ingredients. My only downside was literally the downside! My taco al pastor was faced down and only one tortilla. Other than that....this food was awesome!! read more

I only wish I could've stayed in Mexico City longer so I could've enjoyed more meals here. So. Friggin. Good. Not the most vegetarian friendly at first, but they're really accommodating about making substitutions. I ordered the Aztec soup with a side of refried beans and chips and it was mouth watering. Not overly heavy or greasy, and it packed a punch in all the right places (creamy, savory, smooth - gaaaah I could go on forever). If you're a carnivore, you're in for a treat, because by the looks of what my friends ordered (Al Pastor FTW), there's no such thing as complaining at El Huequito. And did I mention: salsa for daaaays. read more
