The location is fantastic. It's right in the heart of El Centro near many other shops, restaurants,…read moreand things to do. There is literally two other taco restaurants next door to this place so the competition is high. This whole area is very walkable and there are bus stops and a metro nearby. The streets here in Mexico City are crazy so I don't really recommend driving but if you do, there are a couple of parking structures nearby. Seeing that they were on the Michelin bib gourmand list was enough to get me hyped through the roof. The line out the door to be seated at 9:30PM should have told me how good these tacos would be. Every hotel staff member recommended this restaurant so you already know we had to try it out. The first time we tried to find this place, we ended up getting lost and going to a different restaurant. That place was so mid compared to the flavor here. Although, the nearby "TACOS DE CABEZA DE RES" sidewalk shop might beat this out on the flavor. First of all, the tacos are essentially $1.50USD each which is really good compared to the prices we pay here in the United States. The quantity of meat they pack the tacos with is unheard of here in the states. Expect to walk out of here for about $10USD a person. The tacos are heavy and a really good value for the price. Value for the price is a 11/10. The tortillas are almost sautéed in the meat sauce on the grill that they cook the meat with. They have a nice crispiness to them and you get a hint of the delicious meat juices with every bite. The meat is absolutely fantastic. The pineapple on the al pastor tacos really complemented the saltiness of the meat. The onions and cilantro went well with the flavor of the suadero. The tacos were spectacular. Lick the plate after you finish good. The salsas were spicy but had a nice smokey flavor to them. Flavor overall was a 10/10. Honestly, there is 0 to complain about here. Maybe a couple of the tacos could have been slightly warmer but they were EXTREMELY busy here so I'm guessing the tacos were waiting to be sent out to our table for a minute. Not that the temperature detracted from my eating experience at all. We had to call the server over a couple of times to order more food and get some drinks but they were so busy they barely came. Service was a 7/10 for me. Bottom line/TLDR: BELIEVE THE TACO HYPE

I could really appreciate the flavor of the meat and the texture of the crispy edges with just a squeeze of lime. Service was fast and easy. I can't speak to the atmosphere so much as we ate outside at the small bar on the street. Well worth the stop.

Upon being seated we were offered coffee or hot chocolate. I chose chocolate as I was told It was their specialty and I could smell chocolate in the air. It wasn't too sweet and I prefer the rich thick European hot chocolate that's more like just sipping melted chocolate. This was thinner and more watery and Mexican chocolate has a cinnamon flavor to it. It was good but not great. And 87 pesos. Next we were offered bread I chose the concha. It was still warm and so soft. Easily the best concha I've had. Be aware that it's not free. They had other selections, the one my friend got was savory so I didn't care for that one as much. For breakfast I chose the scrambled eggs with longaniza 180 pesos. The portion was konda small and the longaniza was cut up and mixed into the eggs. I thought it would be whole sausages on the plate. It came with a small portion of refried beans. I guess it was a fair portion for about $10 US. The place is pretty nice and fancy so it's a nice change from the street stands and casual eateries. Though you do pay more in comparison. Overall I thought the food was ok. But it was nice to have a fancy sit down restaurant and have fabulous service. Just be aware that every thing is served ala cart; so even if they offer it to you there is a cost to it.

When I looked at the menu, I was a bit confused until I read the small print. For example, taco de trompo. Theyre al pastor tacos. I was thinking maybe these are going to be some exotic or different type of tacos because of their names, but I guess they were being creative lol. As you order, they give you a number, the waiters help you get a place to sit. You canoot sit anywhere even if you are waiting to order. We tried that, and they asked us politely to move. After we ordered, the line got long. I heard the waiter tell the person who waited in line that it would be approximately 30 mins until they'd order, they stayed in line anyway. So i'm like hmmmmm, must be that good. I personally thought it was an average taco. I didnt really taste much different then other tacos. They were good. We got another round of the chicharron taco. You really cannot go wrong with any taco stand. The restaurant itself was a little busy but quick service. Not too loud, enough to converse. I would recommend to try it out & give your own opinion.

Luckily when we came last Sunday, around 2 pm, there was no wait for a table. An employee saw us and told us to sit anywhere. As soon as sat down, another employee brought us menus. We ended up getting: Grande Lechero, $54 MXN ($3.13 USD)- Large size coffee with milk. When our server brought over my husband's drink, she made a grand show of pouring the milk up high into my husband's coffee. I just wished I had gotten a video of it but it was definitely very fun to watch. My husband said his coffee was good (I didn't have any because I am not much of a coffee drinker). Combo 1 with Grande chocolate drink, $155 MXN ($8.98 USD)- So this combination comes with 4 large pieces of churros, 1 dip of your choice and also a chocolate drink. I ended up choosing a Mexican hot chocolate, which is made with cinnamon and sugar. Surprisingly the drink wasn't overly sweet. And really was perfect to dip my churro into the hot chocolate. For the dip, I picked cajeta, which is caramel made with goats milk. The cajeta was excellent with the churro. I don't know if this was the best churro that I have ever had, but it is definitely one of the top ones I have ever had. My husband also enjoyed the churros and the cajeta (he also liked my hot chocolate too). --------------------------- (Total= $209 MXN or $12.11 USD prior to tip) Wait time for our items was pretty quick. We waited less than 10 minutes for everything. Also credit card is accepted so my husband paid (We have the Costco Visa credit card which does not have a foreign transaction fee, which we used exclusively when we were not paying cash). Our server brought a card reader machine to our table when we were ready to pay (for those of you unaware, in Mexico, you will not be brought your check until you ask for it because it is considered rude to give it to you beforehand, assuming that you are being rushed). Overall, we had a really great experience at this location and highly recommend checking out any of the Churrería El Moro locations the next time you visit Mexico City.

Got an order of 4 churros with caramel (cajeta) and guava (Guayaba) dipping sauces, they were out of chocolate. You can have them tossed in regular sugar or cinnamon sugar which is traditional. The churros were warm and crispy on the outside and soft inside but had a slight burnt flavor. Both dipping sauces were good but in a different way. It's like donuts topped with caramel or guava, one is more fruity and the other more sweet. Just depends what you're in the mood for or what you prefer. I also got the frances hot chocolate which is their hot chocolate with vanilla. It was better than what I had earlier at another place. Overall the churros were good but not the best i've had.

The four varieties offered were Chicharron en Adobo (pork rinds in adobo), Chicharron en Salsa Verde (pork rinds in green salsa), Frijoles Refritos (refried beans), and Papa (potatoes). Incredibly, each taco came at just 10 pesos, and you could help yourself to as much guacamole salsa, shredded lettuce, and pickled carrots/jalapeños as you'd like. The Chicharron tacos were meaty, while the Papa was starchy and mild. The one taco that was nearly inedible, however, was the Frijoles Refritos, which were incredibly salty. It was worth coming here for the atmosphere and the quick, inexpensive bites, but this place is certainly not worth going out of the way for.
