I lived in downtown Mexico City for a year but these tacos were by far the best I had in Mexico…read more From the taco stand you can see a view of the valley. When I first arrived in Mexico I stayed with my friend's family in the suburbs. Every night I would go on a walk and eat tacos here. The 'campechanos' with suadero and chorizo are the best. The guy who makes them is pretty quiet and grumpy but he is a taco genius. They also have hamburgers made by another guy, who I think maybe was the son. The two of them used to just watch this little old tv while they cooked, and customers would stand around talking or take their food home in their cars. They only start cooking at around 7pm and finish around midnight or so. I think Tuesday night is their day off.

I have friends who are locals who have frequented this particular restaurant for many years and say this is the best. This particular establishment is known for their traditional tacos al pastor as well as the "Arab tacos" which are served on fresh pita bread rather than tortillas. I would have tried the Arab tacos, however I really enjoy the traditional ones served with tortillas. They actually have several other kinds of tacos and tortas (large sandwiches on a fresh roll). This restaurant is a little loud and boisterous. It is a favorite hang out for locals. They offer downstairs and upstairs dining rooms. Both levels are open to the street. Our servers were friendly and efficient. The food was brought quickly and I thought it was great! Not everyone who serves tacos al Pastor includes a chunk of pineapple, but this one does. I think that makes a big difference and really enjoy the pineapple on it. Where we sat there was a large screen TV right over our table which was a little distracting and it made a little bit difficult to hold a conversation. They were playing music videos, and the speaker was right over our table as well. Thankfully they did play a variety of music genres. First ones playing were ones I did not enjoy, but then they played others which I did. Everything from música de banda to hip hop, Taylor Swift and the Beatles. I think the tables closer to the balcony would've been less loud and preferable. The bathroom was also clean. The customers were mostly adults but there were also some families there, and everyone seem to be enjoying themselves. I was surprised that they also offer some tempting desserts such as crepes with Nutella. I ordered the pineapple frozen dessert which was served in an actual pineapple! They had several other flavors also served within the skin or outside of the particular fruit. It was quite delicious! I think this is a great place to meet up with friends, have dinner and hang out. I really enjoyed it and believe you will too!
