Basket tacos are steamed corn tortilla tacos with simple fillings kept warm and served from a basket. These simple creations serve as quick, cheap and easy lunch options for the day workers. Their simplicity is what makes them so incredible; pure comfort food. We ordered a chicharron and papas taco. It was seriously like 10-15 MXN per taco. Gobbled these up with its ultra tender contents. They have a ton of toppings on the side and even a much revered green sauce to add all the flavors. Otherwise, on their own, they are still quite yummy. Eat standing up and pay when you are done, the honor system in full play here. It definitely beat searching down a sit down restaurant or eating at one of the touristy eateries within the Coyoacan Market.

Always delicious and reliable tacos de canasta in Coyoacan!…read more After watching The Tacos Chronicles on Netflix, my husband got in his head that he wanted to try tacos de canasta. The difficult thing about the tacos de canasta is that they "move" and they are usually not in just "one place", so we were happy to find two guys which sell them every day at the same spot! They are conveniently located two blocks from Frida and Diego's house in Coyoacan and in front of a bodega. We tried their chicharron and bean tacos, and they were delicious! Their salsa verde was the BOMB! Tacos de canasta are very cheap and a few pesos can take you a long way. Please don't try to pay with large bills or credit cards. You pay after you finish eating, because you can always order more after eating a couple of tacos. PS: This location is not the one from the show, but I am using it as a reference so y'all know which type of tacos I am talking about.

They have elotes and esquites (corn kernels in a cup). I love both but the elote on a stick is really the best way to eat it. The standard corn is slathered with mayo, covered in cheese and then sprinkled with chili and a squeeze of lime. Don't be afraid to ask for less or none of any of the ingredients if you want a lighter flavor. Personally I don't like too much lime so I always omit it.

This place was here right where we copped a spot on the park benches so it was easy enough. Not much thinking I volved when we decided to grab a bite to eat from here. I got two tacos that were some type of barbecoa but it wasn't exactly barbecoa. It honestly tasted the same to me. My partner got two tacos de carnitas which was something different entirely. The ambiance is plain and simple which is just the way I like it. I really do appreciate the laid back environment here as well.

They are much softer than a traditional taco and a completely different experience. This is a family operation and the jovial gentleman running the operation was very patient with us gringos. I'd suggest the chicharron and potato tacos, they were the tastiest in my opinion. My girlfriend didn't love the tacos so they are only getting a 4. This meal was a good metaphor for our interpretation of Mexico City as a whole. A family making what used to be a soggy taco into something beautiful.

I placed an order for their birria tacos, and it was served with consome. (3 tacos + consome - $65 MXN - $3.70) - The taco meat felt more like ground beef and had an extremely high fat content. It was probably 70% beef /30% fat. This is not how birria is supposed to be. I was so disappointed. While the service was friendly, this had to be the worst "birria" I have tried. Yes, it was tender, but it seemed like they just stir fried a bit of ground beef and seasoned it.

I'm glad I made it here, the space is cool - Im assuming you see many articles about it already. We were just here for drinks at first, the shot glass are much bigger than the city, tequila shot also came with some kind of house made chaser shot; mezcal came with grasshopper (unexpected). ATL cocktail was a bit sweet so I added another shot of mezcal in it... Ended up trying the Baby Corn and Corn Smut. Baby Corn was delicious, the sauce was so so good! Roasted Corn Smut Huitlacoche - it was huge, I called it Mommy Corn! It was very soft. We didn't love the sauces came with it (pineapple, apple, Hollandaise - weird it's like brunch sauce?) but they served 5 different salsas for tables and they compliment nicely. Glad we ventured out! Should have just done Giraldi next door...

We had dinner at Tetetlán a few weeks. We registered for a special experience - a tour of Casa Pedregal, following by a mezcal and dinner tasting at Tetetlán - an amazing experience. The food we had at Tetetlán was all very good: ceviche, tetela, taco, and a vegan chocolate mousse dessert. But the design and ambiance of the restaurant is really what blew us away. The restaurant has glass floors over the land's purple-black volcanic rock and has touches of color, amazing woodwork, plants throughout, walls of art and architecture books... It's a really incredible space - gorgeous. And the service is great, too. Don't miss the great shop at the entrance to the restaurant. If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a meal.
