    This place was super close to my hotel, and had some of the best taco's I had in Mexico city. Service was quick and friendly, I really enjoyed the colorful and relaxed atmosphere. The price was very reasonable and they take credit cards. My favorite taco as the Al Pastor, and they provide plenty of hot sauces to add.

    Great tacos al pastor and bistec and the fideo soup was just as good! Service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing. Overall, great taco joint!

    Two tacos pollo with a variety of salsas.

    Great food, quick and friendly service. Worth the visit. The staff does have English speakers as well, if you're worried about that.

    This Michelin-starred taco stand was at the top of my wishlist when I visited CDMX. We went midday…read moreand there was a line, it moves fairly quickly so don't let it scare you. The line is fast since this is not a sit down spot. There is seating next door to the taco stand, but they are not affiliated with the restaurant and you need cash to pay for a table. We opted to stand at the counter. Overall, the tacos are really well cooked and so tasty. We got an order of each meat taco. My favorites were the steak and filet. I would love to go again, it was a good taco.

For its notoriety I expected a more grand storefront but it was just a standard food stall. You line up to order and pay and then they give you your food. You can take your food to go or grab one of the few tables next to the shop. The unique thing about this taqueria is that they cook their meats in slabs and place them on the tortillas as-is. They don't chop up your meat into dices and they don't have the typical taco proteins you'd expect either. We ordered most of the meats: steak ($58 MXN), rib ($88), filet ($77), and chop ($88). My favorites were the steak and chop. The rib was a little tough. All the meats tasted better with salt and I liked the green salsa on top. These weren't the best tacos I've ever had but they were good. While its Michelin star meant that I had to try it, I probably wouldn't go back.
