Our Guestbook
“ This place is great for a morning taco eat..the barbacoa and espaldilla are very soft and tender. The 3 varieties of salsa with different heat levels were also good. The consomme was very good and hot. The tacos dorados with all the sauce and cheese were very crunchy and good. The service was good in that the people made sure you got what you needed. But at times they would also forget you because they were so busy bussing people and getting orders and also doing the food labor too. This place gets busy but it also clears up fairly quickly too. ”
“ My favorite barbacoa in the city....if you are visiting try it! ”
“ If you didn't go to the Edison barbecue, you didn't go to the CDMEX. A DELIGHT, especially in the fall-winter season when a boiling consomme goes very well, along with some soft blue tortilla taquitos and a flauta with cheese and cream. Don't forget your boiling POT coffee and an orange juice. All the team/service very friendly and attentive. ”
“ Excellent food! ”
“ Amazing meal, the real deal. Less touristy than hidalguinse, and a lot better price. One of the best meals I had on this trip. ”
“ I found the consome to be a perfect accompaniment to the taquitos, since it is warm and falls perfectly in the stomach. The tacos are very well served, quite filling. My partner highly recommends the rib, it was his favorite. Everything is served in a blue tortilla. The green sauce is not spicy but the red one (very red) is and even an. The quesadillas are also very well served with a delicious cheese. ”
“ Excellent food and a friendly atmosphere. ”
“ This is a wonderful spot for a weekend barbacoa. It is super traditional and always packed with locals. The service is friendly and efficient. The barbacoa can be ordered dorado or suave style and the consome is very nice with a chickpea broth. They also have a walk-up stand if you want to order to-go as it gets very busy. The salsas and toppings are wonderful, but beware as they are truly picante. The location is right by the monument, so very convenient to the center/Reforma. If you are looking for an authentic experience, this is the place. ”
