    Tacos al pastor. Ridiculously good.
    Simon P.

    This place was amazing!! Quick service (I was the only one there at 4:30pm so that may have had something to do with it) and truly stellar food. This was my first meal in CDMX and my oh my was I unprepared. The flavors here are all just cracked up to an 11. The chorizo and cheese was greasy and succulent and indulgent. The al pastor was tender and complex and fragrant. The salsas were smoky and salty and spicy and fresh. Truly an incredible meal. The only downside was that it felt a tad expensive. It was around 200 pesos, which is like $10usd, and frankly I've gotten tacos for cheaper in mf Michigan of all places. Maybe they overcharged me because I was CLEARLY from out of town, but it was still a great taco experience. Would recommend!

    Our waitress at Quintonil recommended this taqueria specifically for their al pastor tacos and she did not lead us astray. We came on Friday afternoon around 4:45 and were able to get a table right away. We ordered the al pastor, steak and chorizo tacos as well as the al pastor torta. Everything was great but the al pastor tacos are what I am going to be missing when I leave Mexico City. Will definitely be going on my list of recommendations for friends visiting the city.

    Al pastor for the win. The simple al pastor street tacos are great. If you want to add some flare add the queso which is almost like burnt cheese surrounding the al pastor served with fresh tortillas.

    Great tacos and friendly local ambiance!!! Excellent service too! Seemed like it was a popular local spot.

    Great food and fast service. If you're in CDMX and close it's a excellent spot to grab a bite. I'm uncertain if they offer a full bar, but they offer what appeared to be a good selection. The waiter gave me some direction when I ordered significantly more food than I should have. In my poor Spanish I was able to understand what he was getting at. Definitely eat here if you're in the area.

    Flan, it was delish!

    We ate here 2 nights. Fast friendly service and amazing fast food. The portions were large, but was so good we managed to eat it all. We had Tacos, Tortas, Volcanos & Flan. The space is small but they make it work.

    a seat to watch the street and the preparation of al pastor!

    Hole in the wall with tremendous Tacos al Pastor. Also enjoyed the Guac-salsa (spicy). Service was FAST & FRIENDLY.

    Seriously the best value we ever got for our al pastor tacos anywhere in Mexico. Recommended by our Airbnb host "not pretty place but great tacos". The recommendation was spot on.

    This tiny taqueria in the Anzures neighborhood has the best al pastor that I have ever had. We came with the Sabores Mexico Food Tour. This place cracks me up because it is a pork taco place started by a Lebanese Jew. Well, his gyros did not work out, but the thinly sliced pork topped with pineapple, chopped onion and cilantro on a silver dollar sized tortilla was awesome. Surprisingly, I preferred the gringa, which was the same fillings with melted cheese on a flour tortilla. I combined the tomatillo and serrano salsa and the chile de arbol salsa for an awesome combination. I highly recommend it. It is a dive and crowded but totally worth it. At least they have chairs!

    Doorway to heaven

    Amazing food, quick service! They're open late to satisfy those late night taco cravings, especially after a night out!
