The food is awesome, best tacos in downtown CDMX. Service is very good! and so is the ambiance The place is very clean Note this is a street Taqueria 100/100 I would totally recommend! read more

Came in after having a disappointing meal at salon corona. We order a platter of tacos for the table with: 3 lengua tacos 4 suadero 4 de cachete Plus we order 3 margaritas and agua fresca de jamaica. 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! read more

The location is fantastic. It's right in the heart of El Centro near many other shops, restaurants, and 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 read more

Taquería Los Cocuyos - MICHELIN RATED - Street Vendors Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

4.5 stars This place was featured on Netflix taco chronicles, Anthony Bourdain and is a Michelin bib recommendation. I tried the gringas with Al pastor. Pork sliced off the trompo with cheese and pineapple and cut into 4. I liked this a lot because it came with cheese and didn't have the onions and cilantro to the meat and cheese were more prominent flavors. I also had the pastor and campechanos (brisket and sausage) and suadero (brisket) tacos they were also very good. The brisket was very tender and tasty but my favorite was the longaniza because it had a nice char and stronger flavor. The salsas were also delicious. I liked mixing the tomatillo and the other green spicy one together. I liked the flavor of the tomatillo and the spice of the other one. What's most attractive is the price. Most of the tacos are 25 pesos each or 70 pesos if your order 3. There are some that are more but most of the popular ones are 70 pesos for 3. The tacos are small I think 4-5 is the perfect amount for me. I'd get 3 if I wasn't too hungry and 6 if I was. The place is very casual and pretty much street food with seating and table service. Our server was very quick and helped us with our order. I went back multiple times on the week days I got in no problem. On Saturday evening there was a short line and wait to get in. I also had a large horchata which surprisingly came in a pitcher and was enough for 3 people. It was ok but at 50 pesos a steal! I also tried the jamaica and the tamarindo. The jamaica was very smooth. My favorite of the 3 were the tamarindo it was also smooth and not as tart as some I've had in the past. I highly recommend this place i went back multiple times. Liked the longaniza and the tamarindo agua Fresca. I liked the tacos and the gringas I'd like to try the torta next time. read more

Michelin guide tacos. They have cheap authentic tacos. 70 pesos for 3x Here you can find value but it's not the best I've had in the city. Food was a bit bland. Service was mid. They gave us the wrong order and wouldn't change it for us. There's limited parking so I recommend walking or taking the transit here read more

Michelin recommended tacos! This was pretty good. We had a mariachi band serenade us while we were there which was fun. We tried a lot of food. Their pastor, suadero, chorizo, and cow head tacos, as well as their choriqueso and frijoles. The pastor and chorizo tacos were great, but the shader and cow head were nothing special. Fairly bland. The choriqueso was fine but just kind of glooey, greasy cheese. Not smooth. And the frijoles were good, pretty standard. This is nothing special, honestly. It's okay, not great. read more

Maybe it was better in Bourdain's day? Honestly, it really wasn't anything special. We ordered one each of tongue, tripe, campechano, and gizzard tacos. They were all okay but nothing that would make me think I need to return. The price is right and the small tortillas are heavily stuffed. The best I can say is that the agua de tamarindo was genuinely excellent. I would say that the service was good except for one thing. I asked (in Spanish) for my tacos without cilantro. I repeated myself twice and the server repeated it back to me. My plate came covered in cilantro and the server seemed surprised that I had a problem with it. On the up side though, a replacement plate came rather quickly. You won't get bad tacos here but it's not worth going out of your way for. read more

I completely missed why people are still raving about this place. These were hands down the worst tacos I had in the ten days I was in CDMX. The other food was also extremely mediocre. The tacos were not warm and the salsas provided were very flavorless. The meat itself didn't have much flavor and the entire place just felt quite listless. Add onto the fact that we had possibly the rudest waitress made the experience memorable in a bad way. Will not be coming back. read more

Really good! We wanted a quick lunch and seeing that we were close to Los Cocuyos and had heard great things we decided to stop in. This is the perfect taco spot - no frills, quick and delicious tacos. I had the chorizo, brisket and mix tacos and wow. The brisket was genuinely the juiciest taco I have ever had and I still think about it. We even got a second round because they were so good. Service was quick and attentive and ambiance great for a quick lunch. Will be back next time I am in CDMX! read more

We stopped by at this taco spot to try out some meats we had never encountered before, including eye tacos.

I came here to try the highly rated tacos. I ordered the 3 for $70 pesos and my brother ordered the chicken torta for $120 pesos. He can't recommend the sandwich as it was lacking in flavor. My tacos were good and came with 3 sauces and limes. I rated three stars because I would possibly come here again for the tacos but would not go out of my way for them. read more

In a city where you can walk soo many places you totally know that I'm gonna find the best Taquerias and right here is no exception as what we had here was just that scrumptious! We started off with some much needed guacamole and with that it transpired onto our quesadillas that we both had ordered being pastor of course as you can't go wrong with them spinning and cutting it off as you order it and let me say the flavors for both were totally there just yummy and bold the way they should be! The horchata was delicious and super flavorful and up there with some of the best I've ever had it was perfect to go with all the spice that I would find from the salsa that we were provided with. Overall this was a chill spot to grab some food as it took us off the street for a bit and into their restaurant which had a homey hole in the wall feeling that was just right for the given night! read more

Really amazing tacos at Taquería Los Cocuyos! Service as quick and friendly and the food was fantastic. I recommend both the Pastor and Saudero, topped off with their delicious Horchata.

We actually found this place looking for another, but saw that the place had a good looking spit with pastor out on the sidewalk and the dining room was full of people (which is the true test on how good a place is) and it had great Yelp reviews so we were in. I got the Gringa with pastor & Suadera (pork & brisket - $60 pesos at a conversion rate of $19.81 pesos per dollar comes out about $3) and it was the show stopper - I had to get another because it was so good but also kinda small & not enough to fill up on). My girlfriend got the Orden de Tres (street tacos - $22 pesos or $1.15) - she also got 2 orders (pastor & sueadero - pork & brisket) and they both were really good. If you are used to getting chips and salsa before your meal - they don't give you chips here, but their salsas are wonderful. My favorite was the tomatillo (darker green one) and the red. The lighter green is jalapeño and very hot (a little hotter than I wanted my first night in Mexico) but was also good. Our whole meal with a 20% tip came out to like $15-ish US dollars. Big fan of Taqueria Los Cocuyos! read more

After the discovery of tortas, this was a must to add to each meal, especially at taquerias. To drink, we had the horchata and jamaica--both were refreshing. The horchata was smooth with a nice cinnamon touch though tasted kinda powdery (SF/LA does this pretty well already), while the jamaica had that perfect tart sweetness and wasn't too sweet. The vibe here is pure street food. Though one thing to note: when it came to change, they just rounded up instead of giving exact change. Not sure if tipping is becoming a thing here, but something to keep in mind. read more

Great cheap tacos with amazing sauce. We got the two vegiterian tacos (cactus and mushroom) and both were good but it was the sauces that made then great. The red sauce was more complex and flavorful than I'm use to and ended up being a surprising favorite. The green sauce was tangy and with a hint of spice and very fresh. The guacamole was hearty and flavorful as well. The first time they only put three chips in it so i think it was mostly for the tacos. They are very quick as well. Each taco set comes within minutes of us ordering them. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions as well. Overall a great spot for tacos at a good price. read more

Wow I was so impressed with this spot which seems like just a hole in the wall. It was featured on Netflix for a reason though, I promise you. Unlike many other CDMX taquerias, this place feels just like home: the food and atmosphere are warm without any superfluous tricks or things that try to impress. The make simple, familiar food and they make it well. I highly recommend their pastor (it was some of the best and most flavorful I've had in CDMX) and their traditional horchata (it's creamy and delicious)! The food comes out fast and fresh and the service is helpful without being overly attentive. This place HAS TO be on your taco bucket list while you're here!! They serve up the perfect example of Mexican street food made with care and great flavor! read more

I came here for lunch on a Monday afternoon with a group of 4 people. I saw this place on Bourdain's No Reservations and I decided to check it out when I was in Centro. This place was definitely an old school Mexican taqueria. They were out of brains but it's fine, I didn't feel like being adventurous haha. I ordered an al pastor taco (marinated pork, pineapple) and a campechano (mixed pork, beef, longaniza) taco. Each taco was 20 pesos each or 3 tacos for 60 pesos. The al pastor taco was the better of the two and most flavorful. The tacos were good but I would say the horchata drink was probably the best I had in CDMX. Unfortunately, we had better tacos in CDMX since there's so many taquerias. read more

I loved the original decor from the 1950's which makes this Mexican restaurant as original as it gets. They offer fourteen different types of tacos, and incredibly they are still under $25 MXN. Even some tacos at the puestos on the street are $25. I ordered two tacos de tripa which is pastor meat, and my girlfriend order two trompas. I thought the entire experience was exceptional. The restaurant features a full bar that lines the entire back wall, which made me wonder if this place concerts into a bar in the evenings. This restaurant was cool and I will be back. read more

Tried this place for a late night snack. When in Mexico, you have got to eat tacos. This place is one to try. These hit the spot before bed. Their hot sauces were delish. The red one is super spicy. I like spicy, but that sauce is for a pro. I was in a group of 4. We ordered a variety of tacos. I had the cachete and bistec tacos. I'm still dreaming of them today. They were delicious! Y con una coca bien fría, más!! Everyone else enjoyed their food too. We lo were also accompanied by a duo of two young singers. Loved the vibes. Can't go wrong with good music and delicious tacos! I know this may be TMI, but as a person with no gall bladder, these tacos did not irritate my stomach. They were not greasy at all. read more

Taquería Los Cocuyos - Tacos El Pastor - Street Vendors Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

Ending the year 2024 with a bang and a positive review from my travels in Mexico City. This spot offers reasonably priced tacos, especially for a place that's Bib gourmand, featured in a Netflix documentary, and visited by Anthony Bourdain. At 3 for 60 pesos, the pricing is about average. In Mexico City, tacos usually shouldn't cost more than 20 pesos each unless you're at a fine dining establishment. The service is impressively quick, so even if there's a line, it moves fast. We tried a variety of tacos but found ourselves favoring the quesadillas--they're a must-try, so be sure to order both. Naturally, we paired our meal with a cerveza. Adding to the experience, a guy with a microphone entertained us with live singing, making for a lively and fun atmosphere. read more

Went here to try the famous Anthony Bourdain recommended tacos and this little spot did not disappoint! Located near Zocalo - we walked around 5-10 minutes to get these yummy goodies. This spot feels very local which is what I was going for. The ambiance is cute but casual and service here was fast! We ended up ordering: * jicama drink - this was really yummy and delicious. The fruit has a slight tart to it which I love * suadero tacos - if there's one thing you need to order here it's the brisket. It is by far one of the best brisket tacos I have ever had! The salsas that they give you match with this perfectly * cheek taco - the meat on this taco was soft and tender and enjoyed this as well Overall really cute local taco spot to check out. Make sure to try the suadero (brisket) ones though! read more

Ordered: Quesadilla de Nopal (MX $40) Quesadilla Suadero (MX $40) 3 Tacos de Suadero (MX $60) 3 Tacos de Pechuga Asada (MX $90) Coca Cola (MX $30) Aya's take: Taqueria Los Cocuyos is on the Bib Gourmand list from the Michelin guide. They've been around for 44 years serving up tacos, tingas, tortas, quesadillas, and so on. We decided to grab a few items with the Tacos de Suadero being the best of everything we got. They load up each taco with plenty of suadero (aka beef brisket) along with cilantro and onions. Surprisingly, the meat itself didn't have much flavor and the tableside salsas helped with that. I liked the cheesiness of the Quesadillas but they didn't hit the spot. I will say the Nopal was less slimy than I've had at other places. The Pechuga Asada Tacos aka chicken tacos were a big let down. Considering it was the most expensive item we got, they lacked flavor, the pieces were not uniformly cut, and there was just nothing special about it. Los Cocuyos was very filling and service was quick but there are way better tacos in CDMX. Not sure why they're on the Bib Gourmand list but check them out and decide for yourself! read more

This was a Michelin rated taco place that I wanted to visit since I saw Anthony Bourdain visit it and was aired on Netflix. We went on the morning of our departure and we were not disappointed . The tacos were smaller but we already knew that coming here. We were there at around 10:45 AM and there were only 2 other groups that were dining . It was a 10 minute walk from our hotel at Centro Historico. The place was clean , the menu was extensive and we asked the waiter a couple of questions about the menu and he answered them gracefully for us. The prices were really inexpensive but that food quality was good! the tortillas were made on site and were thin and tasted fresh. The salsas were also good as well as the horchata I ordered. Service was quick and efficient and they even take credit cards but we decided to pay cash. I will be back the next time I am in Mexico City!

In my limited experience, this restaurant is the standard bearer for "cheap delicious food in Latin America." My hotel was located two blocks away and this was the first restaurant that I dined at in Mexico City. It's open 24/7 and service is like clockwork. For a sit-down restaurant, tacos are incredibly cheap, roughly $1 each for most and $2 each for chopped steak. The night I was set to depart on a red-eye, Los Cocuyos once again came through while pretty much every other restaurant was closed. Delicious, laughably cheap, and pure. read more
