I don't know who Chester is, but his eponymous dish is a mix of Poblano Chiles, tocino/bacon, chorizo, and queso, grilled together and served hot and piping with freshly-made tortillas.

The coffee was absolutely delicious it was bold, smooth and had just the right amount of sugar. The carne asada quesadillas I got were tender, warm and the perfect balance between savory and salty.

We were seated almost immediately and our server was attentive from the start, which was a pleasant surprise considering how busy it was. I ordered the small pozole, and it was exactly what I needed. It was flavorful, comforting, and the small portion was actually the perfect size for a late-night meal. My honey ordered the chilaquiles, and unfortunately they didn't quite live up to expectations. He was hoping for bolder flavors and a little more spice, but found them a bit bland. Overall, it was a good experience thanks to the quick service and satisfying pozole. I'd happily come back for the pozole, but I'd probably try something different than the chilaquiles next time.

The service and the waiters were very friendly and professional. The margarita was made to order and when i asked what tequila they use the bartender came out to speak to me and show the bottle of jose cuervo silver and told me how they mix it. They had live music which was nice and the ambiance waa relaxed unlike at Salon Corona where we attempted to have a quick lunch. This place was right near my hotel too. Highly recommend it, excellent tacos and drinks in a clean and relaxed ambiance. By the way this restaurant is ioen 24 hrs, amazing!

There's 2 sides…read morewhere you can order, just check the menus that are up, let them know what you want then you pay after you eat. It wasn't hard to communicate with very little Spanish that i know, people were nice. They accept cash or card. I can tell it was a local favorite, we were the only travelers who ate there at the time. It was busy but quick to get your food. We stood on the side where there's a little eating area available. Plus points, walking distance to the high rise AirBnB we stayed at so it was a safe neighborhood. I had lengua, cabeza and cachete which i was craving for the whole time and they were so tasty. It came in small tortillas which i prefer and was packed with so much meat. It definitely filled me. Hubbs had the more normal protein option which he also enjoyed. No frills, straight up good tacos.

The steak taco and cheese is still out of this world and the salsa bar is absolutely rocking. So glad places like this still exist and are thriving in the city despite all the gentrification that is taking place.

This restaurant was on a rooftop with the city view. Very aesthetically pleasing with lots of greenery inside. It was walking distance to our AirBnB too. We had squash blossoms to start. For entrees we had the whole fish with green sauce, charred octopus and jumbo shrimp. Everything was fresh, tasty and cooked beautifully. For drinks, i had the espresso martini which was good. The rest of us had different ones and everyone enjoyed theirs as well.

Really wanted to get the tripa, but they didn't have it at that time :(. The salsa rojo is crack, but also incredibly spicy. They have grilled pearl onions on the side that you can grab, which I highly recommend because they paired nicely with the tacos. Got an horchata to split with my friends because my lips were dying from the heat of the salsa and it was one of the better horchatas I've had. Took a lot of willpower to stop myself from ordering more and overeating. These tacos were so easy to inhale! I still think about this to this day.

At only 16 pesos a tacos these are a steal for how yummy the tacos are. We only came by to try a taco each as we had dinner elsewhere but I wish I ordered more as they were some of the best I've had on my now 5 trips to CDMX! Ordering can be a bit confusing as you pay first with the cashier and then you get a slip of paper with the number of tacos before waiting in line to get your taco from the men working the station.

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.

Taqueria El Califa de Leon is a taco spot in Mexico City that garnered notoriety for being the…read morefirst taco stand to get a Michelin star. 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.

This is a good place for carnitas tacos if you want to watch a soccer game in the Reforma area…read more We were walking from the Zocalo area to our hotel, and we were hungry and wanting to sit to watch the World Cup game playing at the time. We stopped at El Caifan, and we got a clean table for 4. The waiters, when not watching the game too, were attentive. The beers were cold, the food was tasty. Prices were reasonable for being in an area with higher rents and lots of tourist foot traffic. My husband said his carnitas tacos were the tastiest he had in Mexico. Not sure if that was his hunger or the truth, but it's something! I thought my food was good too, although I didn't think the carnitas were quite the best ever, they were still tasty. My son loved his pepitos agua fresca. The bathrooms were clean.

Typically I think the tacos at the smaller, unassuming places and on the food carts are the best options, and typically that's true, but something about the texture and flavor of the al pastor taco here really won us over. The red salsa on it also really brought it home. The staff was also super friendly and we had a couple good conversations with them. Forgot to take a picture, but should have. I think they have a few locations in Mexico City. I'd highly recommend stopping in and trying this, it's not obvious immediately that this could be a memorable stop.
