Taquería Álvaro Obregón

4.5/10 - will not return.

It was adequate, but terrible service.

1. I requested my drink twice. The drink arrived after my food and long after the table beside me was seated and served drinks.
2. I ordered guacamole to enjoy on a hot day. Never arrived. Because the other parts of my other had arrived I did not bother to speak up considering my drink experience. It felt pointless.

The food was what I would label as "Fast Food" . The meat was not bad, but the cheese was not quality and it overwhelmed every dish. It was a notch greater than the quality items on the Taco Bell menu.

I don't think you can go wrong with what type of meat you choose. They were not fatty or too greasy. It was the cheese that ruined everything.

In regards to service, perhaps asking the server(s) to read your order back to you could help. There were eight servers for eight tables. No idea what was up.

I will not return and will not recommend this place.

An absolute classic and for good reason: Taqueria Alvaro Obregon offers some of the best Al Pastor tacos in Mexico City, plus excellent tortas and drinks, and it does so very quickly and inexpensively. Wait staff is fantastic.

Best Tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Cebollitas are a great pairing with the Al pastor tacos. Try the dark oily salsa.

We had three hours in Mexico City and this is where we ended up for dinner. Nice guacamole, frijoles were ok, taco de pastor was good, volcanes mixto and obregon were really good. Cold beers, decent service. At $20 for the lot, it hit the spot.

We set out to try a few things on the menu because we were feeling like we should try things, but in the end, we just kept ordering more plates of tacos al pastor. My conclusion, just skip to ordering the tacos al pastor, and lots of them. And pair it with a cold beer. The service is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lively with plenty of seating.

Love the smaller tortillas here! I like to try the tongue, brain and and cheek; but al pastor is the one I get multiples of.
