Taquería Orinoco was easily one of the best meals we had during our trip, right up there with Tacos…read moreDel Valle. We definitely overordered, but it worked out because we wanted to try a little bit of everything on the menu. The tacos were excellent, and I also ordered a couple of the larger specialty tacos. I think one of them was called the "Pirata," but honestly, everything we tried was delicious. They came with these small smashed potatoes on the side, which ended up being one of the unexpected highlights. I cut mine up and added them to the tacos--and even to the beans--and they made everything even better. The tray of salsas they bring to the table was another major highlight. All of them were good, but the white salsa and the chimichurri were my favorites. They added a lot of flavor without overpowering the tacos. I also ordered a side of beans for the table, thinking they would just be something extra to share. Surprisingly, they ended up being one of the biggest hits of the meal. They were rich, flavorful, and so good with the tacos and potatoes. There was a line when we arrived, but it moved along and was absolutely worth the wait. I would definitely recommend Taquería Orinoco to anyone in the area. Come hungry, order more than you think you need, and make sure to try the salsas, potatoes, There is an upstairs seating area that allows for great people watching. The place is big and bright

This one's for you Anthony Bourdain…read more Honestly pretty good taqueria, but nothing to write home about. This taqueria has a very cool vibe to it. Everyone wants to be here, there is a never ending rush, and visually pleasing red and white atmosphere and decor. This is what a CDMX taqueria should feel like. Plus everyone was so cordial. The food was pretty good, but nothing life changing. The menu is a little unfamiliar for Americans used to dining at a taqueria in the states. But whatever you order, it will be good. Great selection of salsas.

Love seeing the locals eating the food as well, and the food was better than other spots that I have tried. Ambiance was great! We randomly stumbled on this spot while walking in a different direction from our apartment to see new food options, and I went back every night after checking it out.

The patio was very inviting, so even though it was a bit chilly we sat outside. Our waiter was great, he was also busy, but we got our orders in and received in a reasonable amount of time. The cocktails were off the charts. Honestly can't remember what they were, we got two with Mayan honey and spices, and they were phenomenal. So fruity and spicy and served in an aesthetically pleasing way. One was the cocktail of the month, Aperol and mezcal, why not? Tasted like a, "fruity fireplace," according to our friend to which we wholeheartedly agreed. They gave us each an elote amuse bouche which was a tasty surprise and got us ready for more tastiness. Had a variety of tacos that we all enjoyed immensely. Cauliflower-both types were equally good. Birria queso was incredibly rich and just saturated with flavor-in the best way possible. Had esquites with blue corn and ham croquettes that we thoroughly enjoyed, especially the side salsas. Definitely had to do some negotiating when divvying them up since all of use could have eaten more. This place is not inexpensive, you will drop some money here, especially since you'll want to keep trying cocktails and tacos, but it's worth it. Name on the door was Maiz y Tinto, so that confused me for a bit.

Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.
