This place was right around the corner from where I was staying and it smelled delightful as I was walking by so I decided to pop in a couple of times through my vacation. I ordered several different things through my few times there tacos Pastor, maciza, alambres con arrachera... all excellent! I absolutely loved the warm pico and tostadas they brought out complimentary. Service was fairly quick, very friendly and helpful.

One of the better tacos I had in Mexico City this trip. They are fresh and pay attention to the details, so like the pork on the spit the best here. Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz

This place is right near my apartment and I have eaten there 3 times in the last week. There's a large variety of menu choices and I've tried a few dishes, all of which I've enjoyed. I particularly like the gringas. The staff are busy, but they do a great job at serving you promptly and ensuring everything is good with your meal. The food arrives very quickly too. I think it's a little pricey for what it is, but I continue to visit for the convenient location, the prompt service, and tasty dishes.

The food is excellent, an old-school taco place, most-likely 30+ years old. Service is fine and prices are a bit high. Never full, but never empty. Nice and quiet.

A solid place to try your first taco Al Pastor on a Sunday night when the street carts are closed but you need your taco fix while sitting outside and watching the many neighborhood night dog walkers go by.

Delicious, specially the tacos al pastor!!!! You can see how they make it right at the spot and also see how they are making the tortillas right there. The rest of the tacos were also good but the al pastor were sensational

The service was super friendly and attentive. One waiter spoke English and the others had patience with our broken Spanish. Al pastor tacos were the highlight food wise. Condiments were great. Would come again.
