Al Pastor con Piña

Most popular

The reason people cross town. Marinated pork off the trompo with a hit of sweet pineapple — reviewers call the marinade "incredible." Get the green salsa on it.

Suadero

House classic

Slow-cooked, tender cut of beef — a true Mexico City taquería staple. Simple, rich, done right.

Huarache

Order this

A big, hand-shaped oval tortilla — shaped like a sandal, hence the name — piled with your choice of meat, cheese, crema, and salsa. A meal on its own.

Carne Asada

Grilled

Charred, chopped, and folded into fresh tortillas. Reliable and always good.

Cabeza

For the purists

Soft, savory, and traditional. If you know, you know.

Quesadilla Al Pastor

Cheesy pick

All the al pastor magic, folded with melted cheese. One reviewer's word for it: "heavenly."
