AKA hipster tacos. More creative than your average taqueria, especially on the specials menu (on the back of the regular menu). Lots of wine, garlic, etc. Think ~40 pesos/taco, but totally worth it.

Order at least one taco from the special menu. If they're serving one with soft shell crab, get it! Ceviche is good, too.

It's a must go lunch place in Colonia Roma. Note that it's closed on Mondays and it's closed for dinner. Order a torta parnita, viajero parnita tacos and something from the daily suggestions.

Tremendous hipster-casual feel with just enough old Mexico City to fit in. Tacos are just the media being used for this gastronomic artiste. flavors are bold and distinct. A must try.

Yes, these are very much hipster tacos (you get a fork!) but a lot of them, the specials on the back of the menu in particular, are wonderfully creative and tasty!

The ceviche was great! And I love that the size of what they serve is not that big! Perfect for ordering a bunch of stuff :)

This place is just great. It is always quite crowded so you have to be patient. They serve traditional and not-so-traditional small dishes with freshly made ingredients...

One of the best meals I had in CDMX. Wonderfully attentive service and very friendly environment. The El Carmelita taco is simply divine.

The best "antojeria" in the area. Try the taco viajero, taco tío, and the specials. Get a "michelada" and a shot of mezcal.
Jess ButlerSeptember 14, 2015
Loved the daily special tacos including the huitlacoche. Finish with a tasty mezcal!

The huérfano is huge! So is the garbanzo Bertha. Everything is really tasty, the chistorra, the ceviche too!

Trendy, hipster and most importantly, delicious spot. Go before 2pm to avoid lines. Lunch only.

Ask for the specials that are usually really good. Careful with the habanero sauce!

Food is ok, but service is very poor...kind of plays on nerves, owner should invest on more staff
