El Huequito

We’ve mentioned a lot of al pastor tacos in this guide, but they are the most emblematic taco in Mexico City—plus, we’ll never stop talking about al pastor no matter what. El Huequito was founded in 1959, and they’re the self-proclaimed first place to serve tacos al pastor in CDMX. Each comes with a mountain of pastor meat that you can split into the accompanying seven or so tortillas. El Huequito has become a legit franchise, but the homemade quality is still very much there. The best outpost is the one in Napoles—the decor feels a bit like an airport lounge, but it still has a fun, buzzy atmosphere.
