Taquería Selene — Restaurant in Mexico City

5/5 Stars - An Unforgettable Taco Experience!

I recently discovered Taqueria Selene in Mexico City, and it's officially my go-to spot! (So good that my friends and I went there 3 times in 2 days). This incredible taqueria exceeded all expectations with its mouth-watering tacos, exceptional customer service and lightning-fast service.

Amazing Tacos The tacos at Taqueria Selene are truly exceptional! Each bite is a flavor explosion thanks to the fresh, high-quality ingredients and generous fillings. The carnitas (melt-in-your-mouth pork) and al pastor (juicy, spicy pork) are must-trys! The carne asada (tender, grilled beef) is also incredibly delicious.

Exceptional Customer Service From the moment you step in, the friendly staff greet you with warm smiles and attentive service. They're happy to explain the menu, offer recommendations and ensure your experience is top-notch.

Fast Service Taqueria Selene's efficiency is impressive! Quick turnaround times don't compromise quality – every taco is carefully crafted.

If you are looking for very good tacos, there are other options around the zone— for a more traditional option, El Fogoncito is merely steps from there— and if you're looking for a quick & ok taco, I don't think this should be your option either.

By the photo I took, you can admire that you pay 28 pesos for a taco with 10 cm diameter. You could get a better deal and taste in any other taco.

By curiosity, I could here the tablee next to me were advised by a tourist guide telling them this were the best taco in the City (ha) so, Idk, maybe the fame behind them between the foreigners is because of these guides. Maybe, maybe not.

In conclusion, expensive...

Our waitress at Quintonil recommended this taqueria specifically for their al pastor tacos and she did not lead us astray. We came on Friday afternoon around 4:45 and we able to get a table right away. We ordered the al pastor, steak and chorizo tacos as well as the al pastor torta. Everything was great but the al pastor tacos are what I am going to be missing when I leave Mexico City. Will definitely be going on my list of recommendations for friends...
