The tacos al pastor are very good. I feel the salsas need a little more seasoning, but other than that, the service and prices are excellent.

The traditional taqueria in the CDMX neighborhood, simple but the flavor of the tacos and salsa are incredible, strawberries please refrain.

I love this taco shop. Although their tacos are not very light, they have an incomparable flavor.

The establishment is somewhat small, however the service is quality and fast. The price per taco and/or per order is reasonable and the flavor is a thousand times better. The best sauce is definitely the green one and the smell of al pastor meat fills the entire street, making you immediately hungry. An excellent option to satisfy the craving for tacos with good seasoning and also for when you are too lazy to make something for dinner. Excellent service, 5 stars

Taqueria Ligerito is one of the classics. If you are in the area, don't be fooled by the appearance of the place, which is not attractive. The community there is always fantastic.
