They basically added the most basic toppings like rice and then I chose to add some green salsa. The green salsa is the least spicey salsa that they offer. My roommate ordered La Gringa torta which is made with pastor. I liked her sandwich because it had pineapples. We both also ordered Hochata drinks which had a lot of sugar which is standard. The service was even faster than we expected, and it didn't take very long for the food to be prepared. The inside of the little restaurant was nice and all of the tables and chairs seemed to be modern.

The server was great. We were placing our orders in no time and the food was brought out to us right away. We ordered a burrito, guacamole, frijoles charros, and tacos. I did not expect french fries on the tacos so when I got my plate I found that to be very different. The tacos were all delicious. The meats were juicy, cooked well, and the fries gave it the extra touch! My favorite dish had to be the frijoles charros. They were served nicely hot and had a lot of flavor. The guacamole though had no flavor and we ended up not finishing it. All three of us enjoyed our dinner and we had a great experience. Fast service and yummy food.

This is a tiny taco restaurant with barely enough room inside for the kitchen and display counter…read more There is a small sink but no restroom. When I visited, there were two small tables on the street and a small seating area facing the kitchen. I ordered two tacos: one with quelites (greens), which was absolutely outstanding, and one with cauliflower, which was amazing. These were some of the best tacos I have ever had. I arrived around 6:20 p.m., and there was a steady stream of customers coming in, mostly picking up food to go. A 2024 Michelin Guide recognition is displayed on the wall. Next to the counter is a quirky assortment of stickers that adds to the informal atmosphere. This is definitely not a conventional sit-down restaurant. But if you are comfortable with street-food-style dining, takeout, or very basic seating, don't miss this place. The tacos are exceptional.

Taqueria Alvaro Obregon is a casual taqueria located in the heart of the Roma Norte (Alvaro…read moreObregon) area. It's known for its late-night hours closing at 4am making it an ideal spot after a night out. We came here at around midnight and there were still a decent amount of people. They had both a Spanish and English menu for convenience. I tried the al pastor ($24 MXN), lengua ($34), and suadero ($24). My favorite was the al pastor that they shaved freshly off the trompo. As we continued to order more tacos the food came out blazing quick. Of all the taco places we went to this was my favorite. It was the closest to what I'm familiar with but the meat was also more tender and flavorful. It might not be known as a top-tier taco spot, but it was simple and the tacos hit the spot.

Interestingly, the three taquerias located near one another on this block each had their own vibe -- this one more low key, the known touristy one next door, and the hipper spot around the corner for the younger local generation. Plenty of meat selections at night though understandably out of some. The al pastor de trompo tacos were quite flavorful though the al pastor with cheese rendition they offer was rather laughable (see photo). The LENGUA here is most revered and comes pristine -- raw and whole. It does make it quite the adventurous eat, in the end, since although it is JUICY, it's also got a gamyness to it. A satisfying late night meal was had here though! A surprisingly worthy top and more so than the polished, touristy destination next door.

We arrived on a Monday at 4pm, resteraunt was dead and we were the only party of 5 there. We ordered right away and once the food came out the waitress who took our order stated that the tacos were coming out were "costillas". We had only ordered the Al pastor tacos and the chorizo tacos so we were confused and told her right away that we didn't order that. The waitress immediately became defensive and told me that that's what I ordered. I told her calmly, no mam, I know what I ordered. I would never order this and yet again she sternly states no you ordered this so if you don't want it that's on you. I looked at her all crazy in disbelief so she then asked the cook what tacos are these and he states chorizo. The lady then turns around back us and says oh here you go it's what you ordered with a smile. No apology, no nothing. I was in disbelief. Since I'm American, I guess I'm use to customer service and clearly this lady had 0. The chorizo tacos ended up being horrible, would rate them a 2 out of 10. However the Al Pastor taco was delicious! I would rate those an 8.5 out of 10. If I'm in the area, I would probably only pick up the Al pastor tacos and TO GO. I would gladly avoid being served by ignorant waitresses there. I would advise you all too. :)

We got into CDMX late and were sniffing for late night tacos in Juarez…read more I searched my GMap and one after another, each joint was closed or closing down, even MickyD's. Every place after 2300 was either closed or it was a sticky weakly heated cart on a lone street corner. With one last hurrah, I found a location that took us on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride towards midnight. Every dark street corner was scary, and the narrow, wet pavement was rickety. There were fewer and fewer street lights, or decent looking folks on the streets. They were shouting at me to abandon this fruitless venture as the church bells tolled 12. Right then, we turned the street corner and saw in the distance a dim yellow flame. That flame was heating a huge rotisserie of beef and framed by a line of young hipsters waiting for a table. As we approached the flame wondrous aromas of beef, pork and corn filled our senses..."La Chula" we whispered in unison. Servers were attired in white uniforms, like "In & Out Burger" employees. Cooks worked tirelessly to flip, spread, fry, paste beans, season and plate never-ending platters of sizzling planchas of hot tacos, cheese, soups and Chiles. I noticed groups of runners, workers and a table of chefs enjoying the late night venue. We ordered a legendary amount of a great many tacos. Had cold beers and marveled at this brightly lit and clean 24 hour location near Reforma. It was an incredible value and it warmed our souls and bellies before we gave our table up to a deserving group of 20 something's.

We ordered two of each of the pastor, suadero, tripa, campechano, and longaniza tacos…read more My favorite was the campechano. It had a great mix of meats and a flavorful bite that made it the best of the bunch. The rest of the tacos were okay and didn't have the same level of impact. The guacamole and chips were okay. The chips were fine, but the guacamole had a smoothie-like texture, which I am not a fan of. There was a 20 minute wait, which wasn't too bad considering how busy it gets after lunch. Service was quick, which was nice, but our waitress wasn't very inviting. Interactions with the staff could be improved.
