El Borrego Viudo — Restaurant in Mexico City

I wanted to really like this place after watching The Taco Chronicles but it was a disappointment!

Do NOT go to this place if you drive a tiny car. They offer parking to eat in your car or dine in. Went with my relatives while on vacation in their car. We were able to park inside but no one rushed to us to greet us or offer service like they did to the vehicle after us. There was a red Mercedes vehicle who entered after us and everyone ran to that car to greet and offer service. Service was horrible so we decided to dine in instead. No one greeted us like everyone else this place judges based on the car you drive which was the first RED FLAG!! We dined in and the food is not good at all. I had Al pastor tacos and they were flavorless no iconic pineapple to give it the pop of flavor. The tongue tacos(lengua) were not great either and were over priced for the size and the amount of meat that was practically nonexistent. Finished the tacos and left, not the experience I was hoping for. Fortunately we went elsewhere and were not disappointed thanks to my relatives we were able to salvage the taco experience. Please do better since we appreciate the service given and tend to tip generously but everyone should be given the same treatment regardless of the car their drive.

Did not give this place a 1 star only because I did see the servers running to greet the more expensive vehicles or take them their food. Will not be returning but hopefully this helps someone thinking about trying this place to do some more research on places mentioned on Taco Chronicles the...

Me encantan estos tacos de verdad son deliciosos, el ambiente de que te sirvan en tu carro es único, es un lugar seguro y confiable además de que la gente que te atiende es muy amable.

La salsa es deliciosa pero si no te gustan con salsa puedes pedirlos sin salsa o con salsa aparte. Recomiendo ir en la noche.

For a Tourist: If you are traveling in Mexico City you should go to see it, however if you try to eat them, do it without chilly (you can ask it), the appearance of this place is different but the taste is really great!!

I love these tacos really are delicious, the atmosphere of which they serve you in your car is unique, it is a safe and reliable place besides the people who attend you are very kind.

And if you don’t eat the tacos, you will enjoy the experience. To live a better experience, I recommend you...

Consistency, consistency consistency. This is the one word that I would use to describe this gem.. It’s been around forever, but the menu has been solid and stable as long as you can remember. You could drive in, you could drive out, you can walk in, you can walk out, whatever you want, just get yourself a few tacos. Al vapor or a la plancha, your call. The menu is not expansive, but just right. The drive thru element gives it a niche character. There is nothing better than seeing your waiter take an order and then run out at half of the speed of Usain Bolt, to deliver an order to a car. Efficiency. I recommend the costilla,...
