I don't know who Chester is, but his eponymous dish is a mix of Poblano Chiles, tocino/bacon, chorizo, and queso, grilled together and served hot and piping with freshly-made tortillas.

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.

It wasn't hard to communicate with very little Spanish that i know, people were nice. They accept cash or card. I can tell it was a local favorite, we were the only travelers who ate there at the time. It was busy but quick to get your food. We stood on the side where there's a little eating area available. Plus points, walking distance to the high rise AirBnB we stayed at so it was a safe neighborhood. I had lengua, cabeza and cachete which i was craving for the whole time and they were so tasty. It came in small tortillas which i prefer and was packed with so much meat. It definitely filled me. Hubbs had the more normal protein option which he also enjoyed. No frills, straight up good tacos.

Really wanted to get the tripa, but they didn't have it at that time :(. The salsa rojo is crack, but also incredibly spicy.

Got an horchata to split with my friends because my lips were dying from the heat of the salsa and it was one of the better horchatas I've had. Took a lot of willpower to stop myself from ordering more and overeating. These tacos were so easy to inhale! I still think about this to this day.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and found almost no line to order, which was surprising. The space itself was tiny, with an equally tiny seating room next door. The vibe was casual and service was exceptionally quick. I ordered one Gaonera Taco and one Bistec Taco. The Gaonera Taco was very tasty with lime juice and their smokey salsa. However, the Bistec was way chewier, to the point where it was challenging to eat. Overall, this was a solid meal but I feel like I expected more from a Michelin star establishment. For example, I thought Tacos del Valle in Roma Norte was far more memorable. Glad we stopped by though!
