El Borrego Viudo

Everyone was so welcoming and lovely and all the tacos we tried was absolutely fabulous, highly recommend arrachera with and without queso!!

This taco place runs nonstop! I believe it’s open 24 hours. The food is constantly being served to very happy people! Extremely reasonably priced local food. Very low-key basic sit down restaurant, but there’s a big parking lot, and you can drive your car in and they will serve it to your car! Staff is fast and friendly! But I had was extremely tasty. I had El Pastor-pork, and beef tacos. Yum! At like 80¢ each- you can’t go wrong!

Consistency, consistency consistency. This is the one word that I would use to describe this gem.. It’s been around forever, but the menu has been solid and stable as long as you can remember. You could drive in, you could drive out, you can walk in, you can walk out, whatever you want, just get yourself a few tacos. Al vapor or a la plancha, your call. The menu is not expansive, but just right. The drive thru element gives it a niche character. There is nothing better than seeing your waiter take an order and then run out at half of the speed of Usain Bolt, to deliver an order to a car. Efficiency. I recommend the costilla, lengua and cabeza.

I really enjoyed the food service and atmosphere it was really busy and lively

Good spot for late night quick tacos. CASH only - super hot salsas so ask for it on the side to put your own amount. Tacos were served super fast and inexpensive. Good if your In the area, I wouldn’t make my way to get here. I was 3 blocks from walking from my hotel.

Came here at a very late night and it was still pretty busy. I really enjoyed the pastor here, as well as the lengua! The service was fast and it was cash only

Come hungry and try it all. Washing it down with refreshing tepache and horchata!

Tacos are really good. Service is super super fast. Your food is out in less than 2 minutes from when you order.

One of the better taco joints. Open 24 hours...it's packed after hours Pastor, Sudadero... it's all good.. and dirt cheap..

I wanted to really like this place after watching The Taco Chronicles but it was a disappointment! Do NOT go to this place if you drive a tiny car. They offer parking to eat in your car or dine in. Went with my relatives while on vacation in their car. We were able to park inside but no one rushed to us to greet us or offer service like they did to the vehicle after us. There was a red Mercedes vehicle who entered after us and everyone ran to that car to greet and offer service. Service was horrible so we decided to dine in instead. No one greeted us like everyone else this place judges based on the car you drive which was the first RED FLAG!! We dined in and the food is not good at all. I had Al pastor tacos and they were flavorless no iconic pineapple to give it the pop of flavor. The tongue tacos(lengua) were not great either and were over priced for the size and the amount of meat that was practically nonexistent. Finished the tacos and left, not the experience I was hoping for. Fortunately we went elsewhere and were not disappointed thanks to my relatives we were able to salvage the taco experience. Please do better since we appreciate the service given and tend to tip generously but everyone should be given the same treatment regardless of the car their drive. Did not give this place a 1 star only because I did see the servers running to greet the more expensive vehicles or take them their food. Will not be returning but hopefully this helps someone thinking about trying this place to do some more research on places mentioned on Taco Chronicles the Netflix Show,

This place is open all the time and people are constantly coming in and out. This place is so good you definitely need to check it out when coming to Mexico City. We got seated right away and order was taken. They do their best to get you in and out. The food here is amazing and would recommend to anyone. I would definitely recommend the al pastor!

Los tacos estaban deliciosos y el servicio es rápido. No nos podemos quejar de la comida y lo conveniente de estar abierto hasta muy tarde. No quedaba a unas cuadras de el hotel. Lo único que puedo criticar es que necesita un poquito de remodelación . Definitivamente que se los recomiendo.

Came here after spending the day at Grutas Tolantongo. My sister and I we're definitely hungry, so these pastor tacos hit the spot! I can see why this place is famous, and seeing the cars parked and people being served in their car was like a cooler Sonic experience!

Don't even get near this place yesterday when I was eating I heard they wanted to overcharge to a customer and because of that everybody from the Restaurant came out and started a fight people from the restaurant were males and they had no compassion for the lady she end up at the hospital. Stay safe Poole away from this place place is permanently close thank goodness

I had this place on my hit list when visiting CDMX. But I am sad to report that I got super sick right after eating here, with stomach pains beginning within the first 15 mins after eating.

After a night, correction, an entire day of drinking, this is where you eat. Not for dinner but rather to slam a few (nine) tacos before heading to bed. Be sure to consult a local before embarking on this taco adventure. We were lucky enough to have my main man, Yelp extraordinaire and local legend, Mario M leading the way. He zipped through the streets and landed us in the parking lot where we were asked if we wanted to eat in the car. We didn't take them up on that offer (many people do), but it looked like a really rad way to maximize the overall experience. Feeling brave? Order a few of the mini cabeza tacos and a tall glass of the tepache - gamey bite with a fermented wash... really tasty. Granted I only went for two of the cabeza tacos while most of my meal was sliced from the pastor spit but the lengua was what really peaked my interest. Womp, womp... no lengua. I guess I'll need to plan a repeat visit! Seriously though, awesome tacos, amazing company, brisk service and a meal that you have to experience yourself in order to truly understand/appreciate.

Who wouldn't enjoy to snoop in some polemic? This ancient-sketchy joint is the equivalent to the "Walk of Shame" taco speaking. You pass by (drive in) when you are waisted, about to call it a crazy night, and craving whatever appears. You'll try to deny it happened, but the smell in your hands will give yourself away. I've seen brave people eating there at day light. Kind of wonder if they were sober. One of the special features to attract crowds of party animals (lineups of cars during weekend), involves the possibility of being served in the comfort of your car. Yes! You can eat tacos inside with your drunk-clumsy crew. Of course your car will smell like taco during days, but come on, sacrifice a wash for the experience. Since you are sobering up, a traditional "Tepache" can't be skipped (google it if you are curious). There are billions of urban stories about happenings in here. I'll stick with glutony. A friend who can't get enough, prodly says he ate 25 tacos. Some girls who wouldn't eat greasy stuff sober, ate 8-11 when intoxicated. I've been an inconstant customer for 8 years. The most I can remember I've ate were 12 tacos, but who knows... I think they are open 24 hrs, not completely sure. Some hypocritically will affirmate they've never been there, that those tacos suck, that you could get sick, that they're too greasy, too rough, blahh blahhh...For sure every drunk Chilango has tried them or attemped to go.

Not much to say about this place, must visit this place if you're foreigner at Mexico City. Next time I will try something different, but if it's your first time please try Pastor only. I'd come back soon for sure ....

As a foreigner and not an expert on tacos, I will say this place is awesome. If you're a foreigner, this will give you the typical Mexican taqueria experience... in a kinda sketchy location (don't worry there's alot of cops outside the joint), cheap, fast, open late night, friendly, dirt cheap... and above all... DELICIOUS. My fav there were the tacos al pastor, and longaniza tacos. Better than any I've had in the US.

El Borrego Viudo (The Widower Ram, I guess) is a must when you are in Mexico City. And you've been partying hard. And it's 3am. And you need something good and spicy to get you back in track. And you have a Stomach of Steel. If you can say Yes to all of these, then my friend this is your place. I've heard their Tepache is also very good but I haven't made it that far into their menu. Tepache is a drink made out of fermented pineapple. It tastes better than it sounds.

This place is TRULY amazing. If you are looking for an authentic late night/early morning CDMX street food experience, this is it!

Delicious tacos and fantastic service. We were helped by a man named Alfonso who was incredibly friendly and kind--food always tastes better when the staff is nice! We were seated right away and tried a few things off the menu. We had al pastor, ojos, lengua, suadero, cachete, and seals tacos. My favorite were the pastor and ojos! The meat was succulent and delicious making for a great bite. We went here after having eaten previously, I wish I would've had more room!

We had a great experience here!! Tacos are tiny but delicious and they are ready to keep em coming! We got the Al Pastor tacos and each had 5 of them. The culture and service here is so unique. We walked up to about 25 waitstaff gathered around just waiting to prepare and deliver tacos! It was a great experience and you can't beat the option for late night tacos if you are close to this spot.

Finally had a chance to visit the city so a taxi driver took me here and he said that is the most famous spot in the city I was there in the morning but during the night it's packed people sit in there car and eat it awesome how the employes bring the food to you, defenetly will be back soon from sac to Mexico City

Best Tacos in Mexico City. The staff is very friendly. Service is fast. Delicious local food is the best. The establishment is not too big but you can also eat from your car.

My only complaint - you need to eat about 10-15 to sorta feel full because they are tiny. But I guess when you're on vacation this isn't an issue. These tacos are heaven! And it reminded me of all the "authentic" Mexican restaurants in NJ that don't even come close to the taste of the tortilla. The Borrego Viudo is super popular and known for their tacos. My cousins, sister, & I decided to head to this spot. If you don't feel like waiting on line to get a seat, you have the option of parking your car, and getting all the service from there--so that's what we did. The waiter takes your food&drink order and within a few minutes you're eating tacos, with salsa, lemon, in your car (very Sonic-ish). I had several (rather not say the exact amount) tacos al pastor. They were delicious! Whenever you wanted to place another order, you just flashed your emergency lights and the waiter would be there within seconds. I may have to lower the next Mexican food spots I try around here because I'll always keep Borrego Viudo in mind.

Went here for lunch today. This was absolutely hands-down the best tacos I've ever had in my life! The food was so fresh! So simple yet so delicious. Two of us had 8 tacos each and a Coke for $8.00. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Fresh tortilla, supper fresh meats and the limes were awesome. So good!

DEFINITELY a must-try!! We walked here from our hotel, after the valet suggested this place.They're always super busy because the food is SO delish. They have a very simple menu, but their tacos are AMAZING, and only 50 cents in USD!! The servers are so grateful for any tip you give them, and they're so sweet, hard-working and accommodating. Best tacos for sure!

Love their tacos first time and they were so good, my favorite was tacos al pastor, it's cash only!!! really good price and they are worth it.

More of a divey-drive in spot than real culinary greatness. Not something that you will think "This is the best in Mexico DF" but you'll think: Those greasy things are cheap and very filling-- not bad either (especially on a late night). Super fast service and friendly folks. Worth a shot if you're in the area, but I would not go out of my way.

They serve the most delicious tacos Al Pastor! Service is very quick and friendly. Highly recommend it!

Must have tacos in Mexico DF loved them I ate in a lot of places in restaurants but to be honest this tacos are my favorite in Mexico . Awesome to eat in your car the taste is fresh everything is clean and the best thing I didn't get sick lol

I loved the El Pastor. Take the In N Out employees, the Sonic drive in, and the White Castle type of food (but way better quality).

Don't believe the hype. I saw it on Taco Chronicles and wanted to check it out. The tacos were good but not great. No different than random street pastor tacos I had the night before. Real sketchy part of town too. If you want good tacos try Resi located in Roma Norte or El Hidalguense.

WOW. Awesome tacos. We had barbacoa, carnitas, pastor, and other types. BEST tacos I ever had. They are smaller than American tacos, but I think I had 8 tacos. My wife had 6. That and two cokes was about $15 U.S. Amazing.

BEST TACOS EVER.... there's nothing better than an authentic taco from Mexico muy bueno

Me encanta que te los lleven tu auto , son buenisimos en fiesta o sobrio , son muy pequeños facil puedes pedir de 8 a 10 tacos.

One of the most overrated places in CDMX, probably because being a late dinner place most of the guests go there after a big night out and are to drunk and "happy" to fully evaluate the greasy tacos they serve.

Waiters fight for guests. Literally. Not the most sanitary of places and not that much flexibility in terms of topping options. Cash only. Would visit again.

These where the first tacos I ever had in the mother land. They were pretty good! The only bad thing was the super thin tortillas. They felt like paper!!!

Best tacitos I ever had. Awesome experience, fast friendly service. On my list of things to do next time I'm in town. :)
