The Res tacos were perfection. The Pirata was so good we had to order another. The Hibiscus Guava Aguq Fresca was delicious and exactly what we needed on a hot day. This taqueria is a must-visit for us in Monterrey-- and should be for you too. :)

Eating tacos almost anywhere in Mexico is like eating pizza in NYC, every taco is just super yummy…read more We tried the chicharon (crispy pork belly-tender, but crunchy), pastore (rotisserie pork-like a giant gyro, well-seasoned, juicy), gringa (cheese and beefsteak, scrumptious). Apparently this place is so famous that Adidas makes an "Orinoco" sneaker collaboration. All served with chili sauces of varying degrees of heat. Not sure what makes every taco we tried in Mexico (taco Chula CDMX !) extra delicious, but just like NYC pizza, never experienced a bad one here.

But the place is also hip: we were there on a World Cup day, and there were many fans watching the game. It was festive and lively. The food is outstanding. We got the fried cauliflower, the arranchera (strip steak), the suckling pig (as tacos), and the creme brûlée flan. The steak was deliciously marbled, and cooked to perfection. It melted a bit on the tongue. The suckling pig tacos were dynamite. The meat was tender, and topped with a crispy piece of chicharron. The presentation was impeccable. The flan was also really tasty, and made for a light, sweet, and to a delicious meal.

Not awful but not worth the trip and Definitely nowhere near Michelin territory. Service was slow and inattentive. Salmon was over cooked. Asparagus was ok. Beef Chicharron was dry.

I was looking for traditional tacos in this city. As I was driving around I saw this place. I did…read morenot think twice. This place reminded me of another similar location in my home town and decided to give it a try. I did not see any order of single tacos. All of them had a minimum of 5, so I chose a Pirata (pirate) and a Gringa. Both had cheese on them, and were big enough. They come with a potato (yes....a potato!). They were delicious. The cheese had a great taste! Other things that I liked about this place: they have antojitos mexicanos (deep fried soft or hard tacos stuffed with cheese), you can order single tacos (I found out later), and the sense of positive karma this place has (they have positive phrases all around the walls). One thing I did not like: they don't take credit cards! Bummer. Ah! And the pastor beef seems like is painted (maybe it's the sauce used to put it in the trompo?) Overall a great experience! I'm coming back!

They're messy, greasy, tasty... what more could you ask for? While the salsa isn't anything to write home about, the chiles the tacos come with are really spicy. I really enjoyed the morcón, which I haven't had or heard about before, and the picadillo. But everything was great. Full of flavor. I was just in Monterrey visiting, but if I had these at home I'd order on a regular basis.

We snagged a seat next to the window so we could continue to people watch. The service was fast and the food came out just as fast so we were not hungrily waiting. A bucket of beer accompanied our tacos too. It was also not busy when we came so it was not super loud and easy for us to have our own conversations. I really enjoyed my tacos. I started with two al pastors and an asada. Then ordered two more al pastors. Perfect for a light lunch and a couple beers!
