    Al Pastor Torta
    Maggie J.

    Our waitress at Quintonil recommended this taqueria specifically for their al pastor tacos and she did not lead us astray. We came on Friday afternoon around 4:45 and were able to get a table right away. We ordered the al pastor, steak and chorizo tacos as well as the al pastor torta. Everything was great but the al pastor tacos are what I am going to be missing when I leave Mexico City. Will definitely be going on my list of recommendations for friends visiting the city.

    Al pastor for the win. The simple al pastor street tacos are great. If you want to add some flare add the queso which is almost like burnt cheese surrounding the al pastor served with fresh tortillas.

    Great food and fast service. If you're in CDMX and close it's a excellent spot to grab a bite. I'm uncertain if they offer a full bar, but they offer what appeared to be a good selection. The waiter gave me some direction when I ordered significantly more food than I should have. In my poor Spanish I was able to understand what he was getting at. Definitely eat here if you're in the area.

    Great tacos and friendly local ambiance!!! Excellent service too! Seemed like it was a popular local spot.

    Flan, it was delish!

    We ate here 2 nights. Fast friendly service and amazing fast food. The portions were large, but was so good we managed to eat it all. We had Tacos, Tortas, Volcanos & Flan. The space is small but they make it work.

    Great food and service. Lively quaint atmosphere. I ordered Chorizo/Queso and Nopal. Super good!

    a seat to watch the street and the preparation of al pastor!

    Seriously the best value we ever got for our al pastor tacos anywhere in Mexico. Recommended by our Airbnb host "not pretty place but great tacos". The recommendation was spot on.

    This tiny taqueria in the Anzures neighborhood has the best al pastor that I have ever had. We came with the Sabores Mexico Food Tour. This place cracks me up because it is a pork taco place started by a Lebanese Jew. Well, his gyros did not work out, but the thinly sliced pork topped with pineapple, chopped onion and cilantro on a silver dollar sized tortilla was awesome. Surprisingly, I preferred the gringa, which was the same fillings with melted cheese on a flour tortilla. I combined the tomatillo and serrano salsa and the chile de arbol salsa for an awesome combination. I highly recommend it. It is a dive and crowded but totally worth it. At least they have chairs!

    So Mexico City is a city that is truly a foodie's paradise-One can't throw a rock without hitting…read morea Michelin rated restaurant. Another thing this city has is very inexpensive spots you can eat,like pop ups or stands that serve such high quality food at very cheap prices. The third thing I found about this city is where this restaurant fits in-They have restaurants that are historic,that opened over 100 years ago-Cafe de Tacuba fits in that category,having opened in 1912. This restaurant is located in Centro Historico-just a few blocks from Zocalo.Its location is a very busy touristy part of Mexico City. When we arrived there was a 30 minute wait,but once we walked in it was obvious why as it was truly a work of art in there. The walls were adorned with amazing paintings and murals and interior designs elements that transported you back to Mexico in the 1950s and earlier. It was gorgeous. I don't want to call it a fancy place with all the stigma that sometimes represents but it was a fancy place without all the stuffiness of a fancy place. It was a very warm and welcoming place to dine at. There was a lady walking around with a platter full of conchas and churros that one could indulge in while waiting their main meal. I had to get a churro-it was so delicious. We also got chicken tortilla soup-it was so rich and tasty with the perfect blend of Mexican seasonings. I had a pretty good cafe con leche as well-you could really taste the high quality coffee beans they use in their coffees compared to what I'd been getting all trip in the streets. Now when you visit this restaurant and you could only try one dish-that dish begins and ends with Enchiladas Tacuba(355 pesos/$20.35) That's what I got and it was awesome.Its basically a chicken enchilada dish with a creamy spinach based sauce topped with cheese-flavor bomb to the fullest. 9.5/10 Item I wouldn't clarify this as an inexpensive meal compared to other places we visited in Mexico City,but I would call this place an incredible dining experience where one can just feel the importance of the building one is having this meal. Heck Diego Rivera had his wedding reception here in 1922. I for sure would recommend anyone who has the pleasure of visiting Mexico City,must add Cafe de Tacuba to their itinerary-it's such a rich experience.

    The tamales and chilaquiles verdes con huevos y bistec were okay. The tamales were a little dry,…read morewhile the chilaquiles verdes con huevos y bistec were bland and could have used more seasoning. Customer service could be improved, as it was hard to get a hold of our waiter at times. All in all, worth visiting for the ambiance, but the food did not match the experience.

    Loved my experience dining here during the World Cup!…read more Azul was recommended by one of my colleagues from Mexico City and had great reviews, I decided to stop by since I stayed nearby. I came on a weekday and was seated very quickly. My lovely waiter explained the menu and highlighted some popular items. I ordered the guacamole, tortilla soup, duck dumpling mole, and tres leches for dessert. Everything was phenomenal, and the guac was out of this world! I enjoyed the presentation and the decor in the restaurant, I'd love to come back!

Vivo en Nueva York y llevaba mucho tiempo soñando con disfrutar unos auténticos chiles rellenos en un restaurante tan reconocido. El lugar es realmente hermoso. Su patio colonial tiene un ambiente mágico y la atención fue excelente desde que llegamos. También quiero destacar que las bebidas estuvieron deliciosas y muy bien preparadas. Lamentablemente, los chiles rellenos no cumplieron con nuestras expectativas. Tanto mi mamá como yo pedimos ese platillo y coincidimos en que llegaron bastante fríos y no sabían frescos. Muy amablemente nos ofrecieron cambiarlos, lo cual agradecimos, pero preferí no hacerlo y esperar para comer un poco del platillo de mi hija, ya que sabía que no lo terminaría. Afortunadamente, el resto de mi familia tuvo una experiencia muy diferente. Mi papá, mi esposo y mi hija disfrutaron muchísimo sus alimentos y quedaron muy satisfechos con sus platillos. Para cerrar la noche, todos compartimos postres acompañados de café y chocolate caliente, y esa parte de la experiencia fue deliciosa. En general, creo que Azul Histórico ofrece un ambiente espectacular y un servicio de primera. Aunque mi platillo no fue lo que esperaba, el resto de la comida y la experiencia familiar hicieron que la visita valiera la pena. Espero tener la oportunidad de regresar y probar otras especialidades del menú. During a family trip to Mexico City, one of the places I was most excited to visit was Azul Histórico. I live in New York, and I had been looking forward to enjoying authentic Mexican chile rellenos at such a renowned restaurant. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. The colonial courtyard creates a magical atmosphere, and the service was excellent from the moment we arrived. I also have to mention that the drinks were delicious and beautifully prepared. Unfortunately, the chile rellenos didn't meet our expectations. My mom and I both ordered them, and we agreed that they were served quite cold and didn't taste fresh. The staff kindly offered to replace our meals, which we truly appreciated, but I decided not to. Instead, I ended up eating some of my daughter's meal since I knew she wouldn't finish it. Thankfully, the rest of my family had a wonderful dining experience. My dad, my husband, and my daughter all loved their meals and were very happy with what they ordered. We finished the evening with desserts, coffee, and hot chocolate, and everything was absolutely delicious. Overall, Azul Histórico offers a stunning setting and outstanding service. While my entrée wasn't what I had hoped for, the rest of the meal and the time spent with my family made it a memorable experience. I'd gladly return to try other dishes from the menu.
