This was one of the BEST places I tried. Amazing toppings, salad bar, and delicious tacos. Look no further, this place is a must go. I had two costras and they were bomb. As the name is, standing room only. Fast easy service and nice vibe. read more

Great experience at this casual spot! We were starving when we arrived in CDMX and Taquería Los Parados was conveniently open at 2:30 AM. My boyfriend was obsessed with the Tacos Al Pastor, but there were also plenty of pork-free options for me. I started with Chicken Tacos, which were tasty but not super exciting. After that, I switched to the Ribeye Tacos with cheese, which I liked more. The ambiance was super casual and we loved that the salsas/toppings were self-service. Pricing was beyond reasonable as well - would recommend! read more

Yummy tacos, a casual ambience and quick service. It's an open plan with no seating - you can see your food being made, and people stand around ordering and eating which creates a fun, communal feel. I had the Cecina taco, the Costilla taco and the quesadillas. The salsas that go along are finger-licking. Highly recommend. read more

OWSCMP Yes! So good! Great hole-in-the wall stuff, definitely local meats and flavors. THE WAIT: It was busy on a Sunday around 9pm, but the turnover is super fast. Lots of people standing around eating their food. MUST-HAVES: Everything we ordered. Especially the Pan Arabe. See my pictures for additional details too. * Tacos de bistec - 4.5 stars Amazing meat! * Pan Arabe con Bistek - 4.5 stars Soft toasted bread, great meat & cheese. * Bistek Taco con Queso - 4.5 stars Yummm! * Costilla - 4.5 stars Also great! read more

The tacos were good but to be honest nothing special, except for the poblanos con queso. So come here and get everything con queso if you're a fan of cheese. Otherwise wouldn't go out of the way to eat here. We tried: Bistek con nopal - I liked the cactus which was slippery and a bit tart with the bistek but thought the beef itself wasn't great. Arracherra - Better beef than bistek. Prime rib - Best beef option among the bistek, arracherra and prime rib, but still bit too chewy and honestly not that amazing (not sure it's worth the multiple over the regular bistek). Maybe I've just had too many bougie tacos in the US that have excellent cuts of beef (at obviously higher prices), but none of the beef options here impressed me. Poblanos con queso - Perhaps because there was no meat to detract from the taco, but this was definitely the most interesting and delicious taco of the bunch. Cheese and peppers worked super well together. Probably the best part of the meal was the unlimited toppings bar, especially the guacamole and pickled onions. read more

Items Selected: Tacos Nopale Con Queso Tacos Alambre de Pastor Tacos Chuleta y Tocino Pan Arabe con Pollo Volcan con Chorizo Jericaya Arroz con Leche Considered by many to be the best Taco shop in a city where one can literally find a stand or cart every ten yards, Taqueria Los Parados was a must-visit on the first night in Mexico City, a small line snaking out the front of a standing-room-only space where Meats are being grilled or spit-roasted in plain view with Condiments sitting at the cusp of the entryway, free for the taking. Using two large menu boards with no indication of how to proceed, it was after some deliberation that the counter was approached with an order typed out in text, the items recited back and two Desserts plus a beverage produced from the cooler with instructions to pass the receipt to a grillman who would prepare all of the rest. Tight, narrow and crowded - comments often as applicable to the city itself as they were to Los Parados, it was with a small space carved along an interior ledge that a brief wait was undertaken prior to orders being served one-by-one from the grill-top, first bites of the Tacos Alambre de Pastor showing the Beef to be tender and succulent amidst a mélange of Peppers and Onions that grew even more vibrant with a spritz of Lime and some Salsa while the Cactus and Cheese was smoky and fresh both before, and moreso after, adding a generous amount of Pico de Gallo. Intrigued by the combination Taco of Steak and Bacon, but a little underwhelmed by the flavor until condiments were added to liven things up, the dual-layered pocket of grilled Chicken and Cheese quickly helped steer the meal back on course, the dish described as a Volcan featuring the Tortillas grilled crisp beneath a pile of spicy Pork mellowed by both the melted Cheese and a scoop of pureed Avocado. Wrapping up the meal with desserts, a plastic cup of Rice Pudding proving mildly sweet and laced with Cinnamon amidst stick-a-spoon-up-straight thickness, even better bites were found within a dish entitled Jericaya, the Egg Custard popular in Guadalajara lightly baked brown on top with a texture not so different from Flan, but with less air pockets and a more savory overall flavor. read more

This place was amazing They have 3 stations you can order from Pastor Pastor ranchera And the hot grill station You just go around and order until your can't eat no more and then you pay. It was crazy that each taquero in each station knew how many tacos i ordered at their stations. Definitely come for the queso fundido I put it on all my tacos. You eat standing up there's no seating but that's almost any taco stand ever. + all tacos were very good + salsas were not extremely spicy but everyone has their own tastes I've been in Mexico City for a couple of days now and the tacos are in the 20-40's pesos range which is kinda pricey to me since I've been eating tacos around the city for under 20 pesos. Nonetheless the tacos are a def must try. The fondue cheese is a game chan read more

Dinner is amazing Tacos from Los Parados Monterrey that's just a block away from our AirBnB at Roma Sur. The Pastor de Arrachera is just OMFG good. What we like about street and market food here are the variety of Salsas and Limes freely available that actually enhances the flavors. Our favorite so far is Salsa Verde that seems to go well with almost anything with not too picante. read more

This taco joint has other locations, but the one I usually visit is located on Monterrey Av., close to the trendy neighborhoods of "Condesa y Roma". The name states that you won't have a sit, but not for that no satisfaction. You need to choose from the wall what you want, proceed to pay, and wait with your ticket on hand while your saliva flows like a waterfall. I always ask for a "jugo de carne" ( concentrated beef broth), for "pastor de arrachera" (hanger steak cooked shawarma's style), and one of their "cráters" (hard/crunchy- tortilla with melted cheese and your choice of meat). They don't sell spirit beverages, but for sure, you will need an "agua fresca", specially if you felted brave enough to put salsa on your late night feast. I'm not a regular fan because I don't live in there anymore (tear drops), but I would certainly be a monthly regular (at least), if I was partying around, or wanting to try some of the most popular tacos the "Defectuoso" has to offer. I will be back soon I hope read more

Really delicious!! Just note that they do use a good amount of cheese for the tacos with cheese--and pay attention to the numbers next to the taco type. We thought we were ordering one of each kind; so ordered 5 but ended up with like 13+ tacos for 2 people! read more

Went here to try out their poblano, steak and cheese tacos and they were absolutely delicious. This place is a bit of a hole in the wall, but the food is super tasty and fresh and comes out quickly. Definitely worth a visit when you're in town. read more

I really like los Parados and would include them at the top of any taqueria list I make for Mexico City. They're open really late, are conveniently located, and their salsas are awesome!
