Vivo en la CDMX y son mis tacos favoritos. El pastor es de lo mejor, especialmente para comer después de salir de fiesta. Nunca me he enfermado después de comer aquí, a diferencia de otros lugares. Gran lugar tanto para extranjeros como locales.

Tacos El Visitó, what can I say, probably the best I had while being in Mexico City. The spot is in the same building as a mechanic shop. But the food that comes out of here is well thought out, deliciously seasoned, and hands down legit ! The tacos are hearty but make sure you order all at once and quickly because the table service here is efficient and very fast paced. I ordered the specialty taco al pastor, and a gringa de pastor. I also ventured to try some other meats. Now, the pastor is some of the best I have had hands down, and for sure when I return to Mexico City this will be the first spot I go to ! I can see why the spot is busy, it's delicious !

The best el pastor taco I've ever had! Although my opinion is likely skewed, as I traveled here from the Midwest in the US. Definitely worth a stop if visiting CDMX. Affordable, flavorful tacos!

One of the best el pastor tacos in Mexico City! Come here to experience a steady mix of locals and tourists side-by-side chowing down on tacos. Though there are gonna be a lot of people, the service is pretty fast and efficient. Because they're so popular, the tacos are gonna be fresh - no stale old trompos here. Do note that the toppings are in communal bowls, so if you're seated at one of the tables, get comfortable with people reaching over you to grab salsa or a lime. A bit out of the way, but every bit worth the Uber trip over. And they take credit card!

4 tacos, a gringa, and 2 cokes for $12 USD! Not only was this place dirt cheap, it was by far my favorite place I have tried when I was in CDMX. This was the first spot we ate at once we landed in Mexico City. This spot was highlighted on the popular tacos Netflix show. It's a car mechanic business by day and a taco spot by night. We were recommended this place by our Uber driver as well. Everyone says to get the gringa but I was not a fan at all. I just didn't like the cheese that was on it. I recommend the simple al pastor tacos. The al pastor is cut perfectly thin to the point where the edges are perfectly crispy. I've never had anything comparable in LA and I will forever dream of this place whenever I get tacos. The cokes are on the smaller side and more expensive than the tacos itself but Mexican bottled coke is the best! This place gets packed and you'll be lucky to find a seat. They had 3 spits going on when we were there and service was quick. They take all forms of card here including discover! That's rare in Mexico, since it's always visa that they take. I'll be recommending this spot to everyone who asks me. Although it is out of the way to main attractions, there are a plethora of other taco spots in the area and you can make a taco tour out of this area.

Hands down, the most amazing taco shop you'll ever visit. During the day, this place functions as an auto shop. After hours, it's a culinary heaven. It was super busy around 1am but we managed to find a table right away. The service is so professional and efficient, the moment they realized we were English speakers, they called over a staffer that could help us with our order. Their Al pastor tacos were the best I've ever had, with fresh grilled pineapples! Also, make sure you try the gringa! Bottom line, this is a MUST try if visiting CDMX!

If you visit CDMX for a week or even if you have a layover for couple of hours... make a stop here! Obviously the choice of meat here is AL PASTOR! You will not be disappointed and wished you can eat 6 more! Of course the pineapple is what makes it and gives it the best taste into their tacos. You're not a fan of Al Pastor... the second choice of meat would be Bistek A.K.A. Carne Asada. A Gringa will likely be the best choice with this meat. Two flour tortillas, Carne Asada and with a thick blanket of cheese!
