After five days in Mexico City, this was hands-down the best taco spot I tried. Taquería Orinoco…read morehad been on my list for days, but the line was always long and now I understand why. This time there were about 10 people waiting and I finally decided it was worth it... and it absolutely was. The tacos were incredible, the service was fast, and they bring out 5-6 different sauces so you can try different flavors with everything. 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!

We were in la Ciudad de Mexico for a week and this was likely my favorite meal by far. Not only was…read moreit a quaint little establishment, but the service was good, the food better, and just overall a great experience. Don't forget to try the gras hoppers, yes they are on the menu and quite good. The drinks were good, especially the margaritas. Everything comes with a generous portion of aguacate and the frijoles were amazing. The salsas were delicious but unfortunately not spicy, although others might think differently. Gotta try this place if you are staying in the Coyoacán.

I walked to the tranquil downtown Coyoacan area and saw La Casa de los Tacos was open, so porque no? The girls were so nice. And they were open with a few diners inside. It was kind of empty and chill, but the ambiance was festive and exciting due to the music and activities going on in el parque nearby. I was so hungry I wanted to eat everything, so I got the tacos con chapulines (HELLA FIRE) and a side plate of arroz con platanos. I also ordered a beer, but that never came out. Their salsas are hella good. Especially that insane truffle one, who knew! It was SO good. The pan fried platanos were so delicious and the perfect little craving I needed for a sweet treat afterwards. They accept cash and card, and make sure you tip you extranjero/turista!

They also serve La Gringa which includes pineapple slices, and it has a very unique taste. We ordered quickly and the food was brought to us fast. In fact, this place was hopping tonight, and it almost seemed like the waiters were running to serve people. There was nothing slow about this restaurant at all. This inside of the restaurant was fairly modern, and we were able to pay with a credit card, which was a huge plus. We both thoroughly enjoyed the food here, and I'm going to search out their other location that is more central, so I can give that place a try as well.

It's off one of the main streets -- Insurgentes -- and can easily get written off in the sea of other taco locations.

I also loved the call button at the table, which made it easy to get help without trying to flag someone down. The tacos de cabeza were solid. The meat was incredibly soft and flavorful. The pozole con pollo was also good, with a comforting broth that warms your soul. On the flip side, some dishes fell short. The guacamole and flautas de pollo were bland, and the tacos de bistec were okay. It was missing a smoky char and deeper flavor. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait around 30 minutes or longer in line, especially during peak hours. All in all, great experience for the service and a few standout dishes, but a hit or miss depending on what you order.

Our server was nice, but unfortunately they were out of some things including food options. I tried pulque for the first time and it was alright. It kind of made me tired (??), anyways... opted for the nachos and found them to be extremely basic and underwhelming. It was actually worse than a typical sporting event nachos. The cheese was cold and the chips they use weren't good.

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.

They clear the plates as soon as you're done. They are very attentive. They provide 5 different types of salsa and limes. Most were too spicy for me - disclaimer: I don't do spicy salsa. Those who enjoy spicy or hot will probably enjoy them. The sides: Nopales - Delicious- I added it to my taco Onions - grilled to perfection Salad Mixta - ample side fresh with just avocado, tomatoes, onion, and cheese (i opted for no cheese). It was fresh. Main Dishes- There are lots of vegan options and protein style tacos Tacos- thin slice of meat and tortilla The pastor/pollo en "hoja de lechuga "AKA" Chicken in lettuce (not on a tortilla). I added nopales and some onions. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection Rib-eye taco - tender meat, and delicious Agua Fresca- jamaica was good green juice (I forgot the name of it) was not overpowering- smooth and not grainy or too sweet! I ordered one "to go" The fifth star! Cheesecake de Guayaba was beyond delicious. Light not heavy or too sweet. Gelatin on top was flawless. Do not pass on this gem ! I highly recommend you try this spot!!

I am confused on what to give this spot because the service and food was quite good, but there was…read morean issue... I was perusing Yelp trying to find a good Tres Leches, through my research I landed on this spot. This is a large restaurant, plus it was after 10pm when we arrived (they close really late), so we were sat and greeted pretty immediately. We ordered a chicken taco, steak taco, al pastor and a couple more, all the tacos we got were quite good and flavorful. The style of tacos was different than what we're used to as it was literally flat pieces of piled up meat on a tortilla with nothing else. The Tres Leches was just okay to me, there was something in it I didn't like, but my brother enjoyed it. Service was great! Very attentive, fast and friendly. Here's the issue...I got food poisoning as a result of something I ate here. With that said, I could not give this spot more than three stars, however like I said the food and service were two thumbs up, but getting sick was equally two thumbs down.

The pancakes were VERY GOOD. My fiancé opted for a grilled chicken huarache, which was also a solid choice. Big portions imo. They do have alcohol, so you can grab a miche or liquor.
