La Casa de Los Tacos Coyoacán — Restaurant in Mexico City

We had a fabulous dinner at La Casa de los Tacos! We noticed the taquero carefully creating tacos through the window before we even entered the restaurant. He kneaded the masa to ensure the texture was perfect then pressed the dough into perfect tortillas. He added toppings and created an edible piece of art. We enjoyed a number of dishes including Taco Therapy ( a trio of tacos from different cuts of pork). Don’t let me forget to tell you about the salsas!! Wow!! Each was unique and full of flavor and a healthy bit of heat. The tacos de quesabirria - well, let’s just say I’ll dream about them. So delicious!! The arrachera with cheese enchiladas in mole sauce were outstanding!! We enjoyed the pulques we tried and a tart, sparkly Paloma. Others in the party had horchata, lemonade, and an agua fresca. There really is something for everyone here! Our waitress was friendly and very helpful as we worked our way through the menu. Save room for dessert! The lime pie is...

The food is absolutely delicious. Every single dish we tried was excellent, they have tons of options, and the handmade tortillas are great. I still think about the duck tacos I ate there every now and then... The service wasn't great but it wasn't due to the staff. The staff was actually great and managed under difficult circumstances, because the place is constantly full and understaffed. The waiters and waitresses did their very best but the owner needs to hire a few more people for the busy days. The problem with the atmosphere is that they crammed as many tables as they could so you are constantly being elbowed or hit with bags every time someone walks behind you. I would definitely go back for the food, but no way I would ever go on the weekend...

Stumbled upon this restaurant after trying to find a good taco spot in Coyocan. Being named ‘Casa de los Tacos’, in existence since 1970, the place seemed promising and a young lady at the entrance was hand making tortillas. My mom and I ordered tacos de res y de pollo. The tacos arrived plain and unappetizing. Big pieces of meat were unseasoned and cold. The meat was rubbery and chewy. The only positive was the tortilla - as they were fresh and handmade. I ordered two tacos and Could not eat the second one, only ate the first one because I was starving after a long day of travel and walking. The Server was on his phone half the time and forgot things we asked for. I do not recommend this place - completely unsatisfied. Can absolutely find better...
