Best Restaurants that serve Tacos in Mexico City

Tacos are the most iconic of all the foods found in Mexico City. Thousands of street vendors throughout the city serve small soft corn tortillas filled with all types of pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and condiments at all hours of the day. The variations are limitless. Chilangos (the slang word for residents of Mexico City and its surrounding suburbs) stand at the counter, three-deep, ordering and retrieving their tacos. After years of the customary regime, most Chilangos manage to down three tacos in less than 10 minutes without getting a single stain on their white dress shirts. The most popular taco is the taco al pastor which is a corn tortilla filled with shaved meat from skewered slabs of pork layered with spices, chili peppers and pineapple, made in the same way kebobs, donners and shawarmas are made in the middle-east.
