Meaty and cheesy

It is a conveniently located spot with tasty food. Just 5 minutes away from where I lived in Mexico City.
The menu, besides traditional items with meat, has vegan substitutes.
On my first visit, I tried costra de pastor, taco de Gaona's con queso, cráter de Rib Eye. We also asked for guacamole for the table and their spiciest salsa (which was hot but very flavourful). Portions are large, and the restaurant doesn't skimp on the fillings. Three items I had were enough, but when our server offered a dessert - I couldn't say no. Luckily for us humans, we have a separate stomach just for sweets ???? The fig tart was scrumptious.
I also like the interior of the restaurant. It has 2 levels and window walls, very spacious.
People working here are attentive and pleasant.

I came to try, because this califa is femous, but I think is a little simple and it is taste MSG, pastors are good

Upscale taco joint restaurants chain. Clean and well attended. Tacos are not cheap but good enough. Some vegan and healthy options available

My favorite taco restaurant chain in mexico. They always offer good quality food. Their best offering is that you can have any taco in lettuce and not tortilla.

Most expensive tacos I have had so far and not necessarily the best. Besides I do not recommend this place if you are looking for typical Mexican food.
