The BEST tacos in Mexico City 🌮😭

To be honest one of my biggest concerns was how to have the appetite for so many tacos in such a short period of time - turns out it wasn’t a problem at all.

Each taco spot has its speciality and unique flavors which makes it so fun to do a taco crawl in the city! Here are my top recommendations:

El Pescadito

🌮 Fish tacos & shrimp tacos

🌮 Add as much cabbage and picked veggies from their bar!

🌮 They have a lot of seats

Cariñito Tacos

🌮 They have several locations, the one in Roma Norte is a standing location

🌮 Love the asian flavors - so unique and delicious! No salsas necessary.

Taquería Orinoco

🌮 The line even on a Sunday night is CRAZY (waited 45mins at 10:00 PM) but try to go on a weekday

🌮 The Al Pastor here is the best.

🌮 Try all the sauces!

Save these for your next trip to Mexico City!
