Top 10 best tacos Mexico City

Scarlett
As a mexican, I can recommend some of the best spots to try a variety of tacos! Here are 10 places to check out, each one is unique depends on what you’re craving. I won’t go into detail about what a taco is—just know that if it’s in a tortilla, it’s a taco! 🌮

Here’s what you should know if you’re not familiar with Mexican tacos:

- The best way to enjoy a taco is with your hands ✋🏻

- If you’re at a taquería (a taco spot), try ordering like a local! Classic drinks include beer, Coke, Boing (guava or mango), or traditional aguas frescas like horchata (sweet rice w/cinnamon) and jamaica (hibiscus)
