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

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. Though having tried majority of them on Insurgentes from San Angel/Florida/Roma areas, I kept coming back. Not to mention, they're extremely affordable, fairly priced, you can walk out satisfied paying only around 120 Pesos with meal + gratuity

So make sure you check every floor for all the flavors they have to offer at that time. During our trip, some of the flavors we tried were grape, insurgentes, natural (aka plain), strawberries & cream, and mango. My favorite of the bunch was strawberries & cream! You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors - they're all (not too) sweetly flavored and have that fermented taste. Kinda like kombucha but milkier and fluffier. We stopped by here twice during our short trip. Highly recommend!

The cheese was cold and the chips they use weren't good.

The first meal of the trip is the most important. It sets the tone. The trip goes how that first meal goes, and I'd gotten so many passionate recommendations for El Turix, it became the obvious choice. I called the uber straight to the promised land, and hopped out with my luggage, into a run down, no frills interior. Just how I like it. I wish the written word could do any justice to how it smelled in here, but I won't even try. I can only imagine it is what a teenage girl feels when she walks into a Sephora. I ordered 4 cochinita pibil tacos, which is the only thing on the menu. Cochinita Pibil is a traditional Mexican dish that is slow roasted pulled pork. They pull the tortillas off the griddle and put them into this enormous pan of the pibil to give them a little bit of the juice and glisten from the pork juice. They then STUFF each taco, roll them up, and hand them to you on a plastic plate. I topped them off with the salsa verde and dug into them right outside. These babies actually exceeded my expectations. I was FLOATIN. Pork juice leaking out on every bite with flavor that can only be obtained through that traditional slow roast. It truly set the tone for the rest of the trip. This is the kind of simple, well executed meal that makes me grateful to be alive. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo
