"This is certainly not your tia's taqueria. Instead, this spot doles out tacos with a Southeast-Asian bent. Order at the white tiled counter and take a peek at the highly efficient kitchen where everything is prepared to order, then grab a seat outside.Tacos like the Cantonese, with confit porkbelly, a mix of spices, plus hoisin, sriracha and pickled cucumber in a flour tortilla, are served on dried corn husks instead of plates. The siu yuk wraps crispy roast pork with nam jim jaew sauce and encurtidos in a flour tortilla for a successful marriage of flavor and texture." - Michelin Inspector

The 36 Best Restaurants in Mexico City, From the Splurge-Worthy to Streetside Tamale Stands | Condé Nast Traveler

"The bright white tiles and bold red lettering of the logo stand out among Roma storefronts, turning heads at least as much as the Asian-inspired menu. This casual spot serves a tiny but enticing selection, with each of the five taco options perched atop a dried corn husk, and piled high with toppings. Everyone here is too cool for school—young, fashionable, and often carrying out an Instagram photo shoot. It would be annoying if the tacos weren’t so good, but they are—so grab a beer and join the lively crowd at the tall counters in front." - Naomi Tomky, Scarlett Lindeman

The Best Tacos in Mexico City Can Be Found at These 19 Taquerías | Eater

"Mexican and Asian flavors meet in corn tortillas at Cariñito Tacos in Colonia Roma. Locals tend to label this place a hipster taquería, due to their smaller portions, toppings like microgreens, and interesting selection of wines. But don’t underestimate the taqueros, who produce deep flavors with combos like pork belly in soy sauce, or pork confit with tamarind and basil sauce, the most popular options on the menu. Somewhere between a street eatery and a micro-restaurant, whatever Cariñito is, it comes with a lot of hype." - Natalia de la Rosa

How the Crunchwrap Became Bigger Than Taco Bell

"A Greenwich Village pop-up crafting a ‘Crunchywrap’ that fuses Mexican and Southeast Asian elements—Szechuan-spiced ground beef and pork with Oaxacan cheese and fermented beans tucked inside Mexican-made flour tortillas and topped with an avocado slaw—with plans to bring the riff back to its Mexico City restaurant as a way of translating New York influences into a Mexico City context." - Matthew Sedacca

Cariñitos Tacos in Mexico City absolutely lives up to — and even surpasses — its Michelin stars for 2024 and 2025. Visiting in December 2025 felt like stepping into the heart of culinary excellence. I sampled five of their tacos, each one a masterpiece layered with flavor, precision, and authenticity. Every bite showcased why this place continues to dominate the culinary scene. But the showstopper? Their barbecue slow-roasted corn. An “entry dish” that tastes like a chef’s love letter to Mexican tradition. Smoky, sweet, tender, and unforgettable — truly to die for. It elevated the entire meal to a whole new level. If you're visiting Mexico City and want an experience that blends tradition with Michelin-level artistry, Cariñitos Tacos is non-negotiable. A flawless 10 out of 10. I cannot recommend it highly Also, the host was so helpful, we kept asking him for recommendations in the area for other activities and other extraordinary cuisine, I felt like I was asking to many questions but he delivered amazing suggestions with a smile every time, like I said 10/10.

So glad i experienced this place thru an AirBnB Lucha Libre experience (pic in photos). This is Asian-mex infusion at its best. So many flavors. You make Guy Fieri faces when eating these tacos. I had the following (best to delicious but not best): Pork Belly, Issan, Cochinita, Cauliflower Pibil, Eggplant. 7oz beers to wash them all down. You will walk right past to mark this place a go. Standing tables on the sidewalk. It will be busy if you go during a Lucha Libre night so hit them for 12pm lunch to skip the wait. Book the experience I post in the pics and its included!!! Amazing night that all started here. Im still thinking about the Pork Belly taco (i ate it so fast and then started taking pics, sorry).

Not far from Arena de México, this spot serves 5-star tacos that absolutely live up to the hype. Michelin-recognized in both 2024 and 2025, and for good reason. The chicharrones and steak tacos are killer—packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. The Korean pork belly comes in as a close second and is a must-try. There’s no seating, just standing room, but trust me—it’s completely worth it. One of the best taco experiences in Mexico City!

Our first tacos in Mexico city and probably our favourite of the trip. We ordered chicken, pork and aubergine tacos. Really interesting textures and flavours that we didn't find elsewhere. Gluten free corn tacos

Caring to tacos have an excellent twist on the Thai infusion tacos. If you are a fan of pork belly, this is the place to go for! Unique in its kind.

This place is a must try and the ginger beer was incredible as well. Each taco is incredibly different from the others, I tried 4 of them. The one not specifically positive thing that I would say, is I wouldn’t recommend getting more than two of any one flavor: this is a place to try very good tacos, but not a place to get full. I think I would have enjoyed myself much less if I got 4 of the same taco, I would have been tired of it by #3

The tacos are delicious and fresh, made with ingredients that aren’t traditionally used in tacos. On top of that, the service is excellent (last time we were helped by Emma 🫰🏼), and the atmosphere is always great with good music. It has definitely become one of the places I must visit every time I come to CDMX.

I was very excited to see the vegetarian variety (which wasn’t mushrooms or nopal) so I tried both the cauliflower and the eggplant. The ambience was great and lively, and the service was quick. Presentation was fantastic! Sadly the taste of the tacos were average. They went a little too heavy on the sauce, which made it very pungent. The sauce for both options were the same, or awfully similar, because they both tasted the same to me. Since there are multiple vegan options in the neighborhood (and one right next door to Cariñito as well) I’m excited to try the others!
