EricJuly 19, 2015AKA hipster tacos. More creative than your average taqueria, especially on the specials menu (on the back of the regular menu). Lots of wine, garlic, etc. Think ~40 pesos/taco, but totally worth it.

Emily WilsonOctober 9, 2016Order at least one taco from the special menu. If they're serving one with soft shell crab, get it! Ceviche is good, too.

Jacobo GómezJuly 11, 2015It's a must go lunch place in Colonia Roma. Note that it's closed on Mondays and it's closed for dinner. Order a torta parnita, viajero parnita tacos and something from the daily suggestions.

Mr SpockJuly 28, 2018Tremendous hipster-casual feel with just enough old Mexico City to fit in. Tacos are just the media being used for this gastronomic artiste. flavors are bold and distinct. A must try.UpvoteDownvote
Tobias SchmidtFebruary 3, 2018Yes, these are very much hipster tacos (you get a fork!) but a lot of them, the specials on the back of the menu in particular, are wonderfully creative and tasty!UpvoteDownvote
Grace Hoyle FloresJune 10, 2016The ceviche was great! And I love that the size of what they serve is not that big! Perfect for ordering a bunch of stuff :)Upvote1Downvote
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017This place is just great. It is always quite crowded so you have to be patient. They serve traditional and not-so-traditional small dishes with freshly made ingredients...UpvoteDownvote
One of the best meals I had in CDMX. Wonderfully attentive service and very friendly environment. The El Carmelita taco is simply divine.UpvoteDownvote
Y SFebruary 13, 2017The best "antojeria" in the area. Try the taco viajero, taco tío, and the specials. Get a "michelada" and a shot of mezcal.UpvoteDownvote
Jess ButlerSeptember 14, 2015Loved the daily special tacos including the huitlacoche. Finish with a tasty mezcal!
