If ever in Mexico City, and tried hard U shape tostada-like tacos in a TacoBell outside Mexico... well it's time you know the truth: You have never eaten authentic mexican tacos... or good mexican food as well. Amongst many fine establishments like "Taco Inn", "El Tizoncito", "Los Cochinitos", "El fogonazo", "Los Sifones", etc. I like this one very much because... More

The place is cleaner and the fruit juices are superb, but it's not how tacos are supposed to be, go if you don't like the trashy look of some taquerias

The best tacos in México. I highly recommend the Pastor, Volcanes and Costras. Any meat taco is good too. Additionally, it will be one of the only taquerias where you can buy a salad.

Used to go to the one in Alfonso Reyes frequently when I was a kid, this was my first time in the Polanco branch. Tried (remembering the old days) the “arrachera Herford”, although not as good as I remembered, everything else was same quality or even better: tacos al pastor, alambre de costilla (delicious), chicharron de queso and cebollitas cambray....

We stopped in at La Farolito for lunch on a Saturday. We easily got a table on the patio and ordered a bunch of tacos. The conchinita pibil was excellent, very flavorful pork and red onions. The bistek was a bit dry and probably our least favorite. The al pastor was excellent. The pork was very tender and complimented well... More
