We know that taquerias abound in CDMX; almost any preparation goes up a notch when we cover it with a warm tortilla. Of course, the sirloin is no exception, so we share with you a list of places to try tacos that are perfect for this cut. Which one do you go for?
1. La Sirloinería
Self-named the Cathedral of sirloin, this place is definitive when it comes to meat. The star preparation comes from the trompo and is hidden in a tortilla, although there are many other preparations where sirloin is the star. For example, in chilaquiles, hamburger, nachos and even in aguachile. All paired with craft beer, a great combination!
📍 Bucareli 69, Juárez
🕛 Tuesday to Thursday 14:00 to 22:00, Friday and Saturday 14:00 to 23:00, Sunday 13:00 to 21:00
2. Club Sirloin
If you are of the club that loves sirloin tacos, run to try the ones at this place. Cooked in a spinning top and accompanied with a spicy sauce, the meat will conquer you with its flavor and softness. Bring your appetite so you can also try the gringa, the crust or the torta.
And if you go with company, the perfect option will surely be the alambre with bacon, bell bell pepper and cheese. Uffff!
📍 Xochicalco 51, local D, corner with Esperanza, Narvarte.
Monday to Wednesday from 17:00 to 23:00, Thursday from 15:00 to 00:00, Friday and Saturday from 15:00 to 1:00 and Sunday from 15:00 to 23:00.
3. The Sirloin King
Attention, quality and good taste in the same taqueria. Get ready to enter the kingdom of sirloin and delight yourself with recipes that go beyond tacos. For example, pizza, hamburger, quesadillas and even Tostitos with esquite! If you go with your amix, you can opt for meat by the kilo. Of course, don’t hesitate to ask for chicharrón (sirloin) to put in the center and share, or not?
📍 Patricio Sanz 1318, Tlacoquemécatl del Valle, Benito Juárez
🕛 Monday to Saturday from 13:00 to 00:00, Sunday 13:00 to 23:00
4. Malicochitos
The trompo is already spinning to surprise you with a juicy cut; wrapped in a handmade tortilla made at the moment. This combination is already a winner, but what if we tell you that there are also volcanoes, crusts, quesadillas and gringas. You’re sure to jump in! Save some room for dessert: the crepa de cajeta (caramel crepe) closes the banquet with a flourish.
📍 Emerson 105, Polanco
Tuesday to Sunday from 1:30 to 9:30 p.m.
5. Taco’n llamas
This place specializes in spinning the trompo, either sirloin or pastor, to then assemble succulent tacos. It is not a classic trompo, as it is a wood-fired one. This completely changes the game, as the meat takes on a smoky flavor framed with a handmade tortilla. In the flavor race, be sure to try the quesabirrias or the torta de picaña.
📍 Revolución 1133, Merced Gómez / San Antonio 36, Ciudad de los Deportes.
🕛 Monday to Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
6. The famous trompitos de las Lomas
The menu at this taqueria is simple and unpretentious: they serve delicious tacos, period. Of course, the specialty is sirloin, although there are also pastor tacos. As for the charcoal-grilled preparations: rib eye, New York, steak, chicken or gaonera. There are also vegan options. You choose if you prefer corn, flour, volcano or gringa tortillas.
📍 Pedregal 82, Lomas Virreyes, Molino del Rey, Miguel Hidalgo
🕛 Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 22:00, Saturday from 14:00 to 22:00
7. Taco Fresa
The party of trompos is on: pastor, pastor negro and sirloin, all at an affordable price. We recommend you order one of each and complement with the chicharrón de queso or the fundido con chistorra. There are also other specialties such as suadero, rib eye and arrachera. One of our must-tries is the quesataco Chihuahua, a tortilla made of cheese with the meat of your choice. Bye, diet!
📍 Pensilvania 280, Ciudad de los deportes
🕛 Monday to Sunday 12:00 to 22:00
8. El remolkito del sirloin
The success and flavor of this taqueria has made it open four branches in different parts of the city. On the menu there are irresistible little gems where the sirloin trompo shines. One of our favorites are the tatemados tacos that are golden brown and bathed in a priceless sauce. It’s worth mentioning that here you’ll find preparations that raise the dead like the sirloin prepared with spicy sauces or the Remolkito chilaquiles.

10. El sirloin de la Roma
The list could not miss this option, a favorite for those who enjoy watching the sirloin spin and then devour it in some good tacos. The classics on the menu are delicious, although we love to overdo it with a gordita, a torta or some empanadas. Be sure to accompany this feast with a michelada or frosted cantarito.
