CDMX shines for the delight of its tacos. And there are all kinds and for all tastes. That’s why we made a list of the best taquerias in the city to visit at least once in your life. Take note. 🌮😋
1. Tacos Chilo
Taquitos as they should be: on lamina stand, with a very spicy sauce and tortillas with copy. This place is a fidget for neighbors of the Paraíso neighborhood, but curious and discoverers of good tacos don’t hesitate to go there. Their tacos de tripa are unique, although the most popular (and also the most delicious) are the apple tacos.
The longaniza, suadero and chuleta (pork chop) tacos are not to be missed. We recommend you ask for an order of cambray onions and prepare them with salt and lime.

Taqueria Ayuujk Jaay
Pastor, steak, chicken, suadero, ribs or arrachera, they’re all delicious! The menu at this taqueria is extensive; in addition to tacos there are gorditas, alambres, tortas and melted cheeses. We recommend the volcano (no matter what protein you choose), which is a perfect option for sharing.
