Great food! We tried to go on a Monday evening but it was closed - I’m not sure that the opening hours are correct online. However, I’m so glad we went back the next night as these were some of the best tacos we had on our entire trip! The gringa and quesadilla were particularly great. Service was also very good, had an English menu and helpful waiter. Mix of locals and tourists

Wow, just wow! This place is incredible, from the pure incredible flavor of the freshly sliced Al pastor tacos to the pasole, and the fondido to the incredible service of the wait staff, this place has it all! We ate here almost every day of being in the city! Try anything on the menu! It’s all delicious!

Had a good dinner here, some tacos and pozole. The pozole was very nice (first one I had, so I don't have any comparison), the tacos were good too but felt like the meat portion was pretty small. There's probably better tacos out there, but still great for a quick dinner out. Lots of locals dining here and the staff was friendly and helpful.

These are the best tacos I have ever had! The el pastor is absolutely delicious! It’s so thinly sliced and has such a great flavor. The pazole is also really yummy! I went there every night I was in the city, it was that good! The waiters are so attentive and nice! Best food I had in Mexico!

Really nice authentic local place - most tacos super cheap and the rest also extremely reasonably priced. Absolutely delicious, food made right in front of you and is really quick to come out. Full of locals every night :) won’t disappoint! The gringa and quesadilla in particular are amazing! We went a number of times and they also do takeaway which is great.

I came here on a whim and I couldn’t be more glad that I did. I had some of the best Al pastor tacos that I’ve had in Mexico here. They provided a generous amount of sauces to experiment with and it was all at an unbelievably affordable price!

It was next door to our AirBnB and happened upon it. Sooo delicious. As with other posters best tacos pastor ever! Well done! Everything was super clean too.

Amazing food for a low price! Tacos are cheap (1-2 per taco) and can’t go wrong. They are limited in their vegetarian option, but I had the veggie quesadillas (as seen in the picture) and they are pretty good for the price. Heads up, they only accept cash.
