Taquería Álvaro Obregón — Restaurant in Mexico City

4.5/10 - will not return.

It was adequate, but terrible service.

I requested my drink twice. The drink arrived after my food and long after the table beside me was seated and served drinks. 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...

I’ve been all over Mexico and all over the world. I’m also a California native so I’m no stranger to taquerias, which makes me uniquely qualified to pronounce this place best taqueria in the entire world.

A taqueria is a place you go on your lunch hour for a quick snack or after a long night of drinkiyyyng. You want service to be fast and you want the tacos hot and tasty. This place delivers on those measures like no other place I’ve ever been too. The place is clean and the staff move with pace and pride. Pride in their profession. They know they deliver a great product and top quality service. It is a sight to behold. As a human if the world, this is the type of place that makes me get on a plane and travel thousands of miles gladly.

This is the type of place that inspires me to bring this same type of ferocity to my profession. Hats off to you gentlemen, because you are the best in...

My friend and I waited in line for 45 minutes despite the fact that ample seating was available inside that could’ve been utilized. I wasn’t even sure the staff knew we existed because we were left standing at the front of the line for between 5 and 10 minutes with no acknowledgement.

Once we were finally seated, we were told they were all out of the tacos al pastor (which is the reason we visited in the first place). Strange, considering it was only 10:00 pm and they were open until 4:00 am. How do you run out of your most popular item 6 hours before you close? We ended up cutting our losses and leaving. Didn’t seem like the cleanest place, either. Doubt...
