They basically added the most basic toppings like rice and then I chose to add some green salsa. The green salsa is the least spicey salsa that they offer. My roommate ordered La Gringa torta which is made with pastor. I liked her sandwich because it had pineapples. We both also ordered Hochata drinks which had a lot of sugar which is standard. The service was even faster than we expected, and it didn't take very long for the food to be prepared. The inside of the little restaurant was nice and all of the tables and chairs seemed to be modern.

The server was great. We were placing our orders in no time and the food was brought out to us right away. We ordered a burrito, guacamole, frijoles charros, and tacos. I did not expect french fries on the tacos so when I got my plate I found that to be very different. The tacos were all delicious. The meats were juicy, cooked well, and the fries gave it the extra touch! My favorite dish had to be the frijoles charros. They were served nicely hot and had a lot of flavor. The guacamole though had no flavor and we ended up not finishing it. All three of us enjoyed our dinner and we had a great experience. Fast service and yummy food.

Taqueria Alvaro Obregon is a casual taqueria located in the heart of the Roma Norte (Alvaro…read moreObregon) area. It's known for its late-night hours closing at 4am making it an ideal spot after a night out. We came here at around midnight and there were still a decent amount of people. They had both a Spanish and English menu for convenience. I tried the al pastor ($24 MXN), lengua ($34), and suadero ($24). My favorite was the al pastor that they shaved freshly off the trompo. As we continued to order more tacos the food came out blazing quick. Of all the taco places we went to this was my favorite. It was the closest to what I'm familiar with but the meat was also more tender and flavorful. It might not be known as a top-tier taco spot, but it was simple and the tacos hit the spot.

Rather cheap, no frills taqueria pretty much next door to the ultra famous one. This one had a more…read morelocal feel, seemingly frequented by the older generation. Interestingly, the three taquerias located near one another on this block each had their own vibe -- this one more low key, the known touristy one next door, and the hipper spot around the corner for the younger local generation. Plenty of meat selections at night though understandably out of some. The al pastor de trompo tacos were quite flavorful though the al pastor with cheese rendition they offer was rather laughable (see photo). The LENGUA here is most revered and comes pristine -- raw and whole. It does make it quite the adventurous eat, in the end, since although it is JUICY, it's also got a gamyness to it. A satisfying late night meal was had here though! A surprisingly worthy top and more so than the polished, touristy destination next door.

Taco Naco seriously saved the night for us! We were looking for delicious, food late at night on…read moreChristmas Day, and this place delivered in every way.Such a win! Everything we ordered was affordable and fantastic. I had the Costras de Pastor--crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. My son went with the chicken soup and a pastor taco, which was comforting and satisfying. My husband enjoyed the pastor nopalitos, and my daughter loved the Dorados de Pastor. Served with a great selection of salsas, we honestly gobbled everything up in no time. The location was super convenient too--just around the bend from our hotel in Condesa. We also really appreciated that they offered menus in English, which made ordering easy after a long day. If you're in the area and need a late-night bite (holiday or not!), Taco Naco is a must. Simple, flavorful, and exactly what we needed. Would absolutely come back!

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.

I walked to the tranquil downtown Coyoacan area and saw La Casa de los Tacos was open, so porque no? The girls were so nice. And they were open with a few diners inside. It was kind of empty and chill, but the ambiance was festive and exciting due to the music and activities going on in el parque nearby. I was so hungry I wanted to eat everything, so I got the tacos con chapulines (HELLA FIRE) and a side plate of arroz con platanos. I also ordered a beer, but that never came out. Their salsas are hella good. Especially that insane truffle one, who knew! It was SO good. The pan fried platanos were so delicious and the perfect little craving I needed for a sweet treat afterwards. They accept cash and card, and make sure you tip you extranjero/turista!

They clear the plates as soon as you're done. They are very attentive. They provide 5 different types of salsa and limes. Most were too spicy for me - disclaimer: I don't do spicy salsa. Those who enjoy spicy or hot will probably enjoy them. The sides: Nopales - Delicious- I added it to my taco Onions - grilled to perfection Salad Mixta - ample side fresh with just avocado, tomatoes, onion, and cheese (i opted for no cheese). It was fresh. Main Dishes- There are lots of vegan options and protein style tacos Tacos- thin slice of meat and tortilla The pastor/pollo en "hoja de lechuga "AKA" Chicken in lettuce (not on a tortilla).

The tacos were solid too, but compared to…read moresome of the other spots we've tried around Mexico City, this place ranks a bit below places like Tacos Orinoco. Some of the meats, especially the al pastor, were a little on the dry side, though still flavorful. The chicken was probably the standout; it was very tender and fresh off the grill. One thing we appreciated was the variety of salsas available at the table. It made it easy to mix and match and definitely helped elevate the tacos. We also ordered guacamole, which was tasty and perfect to add on top. The grilled tacos don't come with toppings like cilantro or onion, but the al pastor tacos did. There was consistently a line out the door. We waited about five minutes, but since it was just the two of us, we were seated quicker than larger groups. The prices are also very affordable ($2-3/taco) compared to many restaurants in the Condesa area. Overall, a good, casual taco spot, especially if you're looking for something quick and inexpensive!
