La Casa de Los Tacos Coyoacán

Loved this place. The waitress was very helpful translating things and the boar tacos were the one!! Loved the array of salsas. One was sweet and one was straight lava, but so tasty! I also tried the green chorizo. It was very good but the boar was the best! I'd love to come back and try the mole duck. Definitely check this place out!

Casa de los Tacos is a true hidden gem in the heart of Coyoacán. The star of the show? The “arrachera” tacos — perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. They strike the perfect balance between crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making every bite unforgettable. The salsas are bold and varied, the service is fast and friendly, and the place has a local, authentic vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you’re in Coyoacán, this is a must-stop for real taco lovers.

The food is absolutely delicious. Every single dish we tried was excellent, they have tons of options, and the handmade tortillas are great. I still think about the duck tacos I ate there every now and then... The service wasn't great but it wasn't due to the staff. The staff was actually great and managed under difficult circumstances, because the place is constantly full and understaffed. The waiters and waitresses did their very best but the owner needs to hire a few more people for the busy days. The problem with the atmosphere is that they crammed as many tables as they could so you are constantly being elbowed or hit with bags every time someone walks behind you. I would definitely go back for the food, but no way I would ever go on the weekend or holidays.

There are a huge variety of tacos here. We tried the venison, birria, duck and cactus tacos. The stand out for sure were the duck tacos. They were so flavorful and tender and perfectly cooked. We loved it so much, we ordered another round of those. The tacos come with an assortment of salsas and lime wedges as many restaurants do. Their green salsa is great with a perfect spice. We loved the darker red salsa too, it was excellent with the duck. The mango italian soda was delicious and the agua fresca of the day (lemon) was refreshing. We also tried the guacamole and chips which were great as well with a nice squeeze of lime on top.

Nice Mexican restaurant with lots of choice.. The plata Botano was delicious, with guacamole, nopalitos (cactus), quesa panela, chicharron and homemade tortillas. Don’t miss trying the nopalitos! For my main course I chose TacoTerapia (1 de pechito, 1 petunia, 1 de chorizo verde. Fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We had a fabulous dinner at La Casa de los Tacos! We noticed the taquero carefully creating tacos through the window before we even entered the restaurant. He kneaded the masa to ensure the texture was perfect then pressed the dough into perfect tortillas. He added toppings and created an edible piece of art. We enjoyed a number of dishes including Taco Therapy ( a trio of tacos from different cuts of pork). Don’t let me forget to tell you about the salsas!! Wow!! Each was unique and full of flavor and a healthy bit of heat. The tacos de quesabirria - well, let’s just say I’ll dream about them. So delicious!! The arrachera with cheese enchiladas in mole sauce were outstanding!! We enjoyed the pulques we tried and a tart, sparkly Paloma. Others in the party had horchata, lemonade, and an agua fresca. There really is something for everyone here! Our waitress was friendly and very helpful as we worked our way through the menu. Save room for dessert! The lime pie is outstanding!

So glad we found this place! CDM is a very meat heavy city, and most tacos places don't have any green on the menu. This place offers a great balance of tasty meat and fish options, as well as salads and soups with vegetarian options. They have both traditional tacos and some quirkier alternatives and a selection of insect based dishes that honour older native culinary traditions. Our waitress was lovely and took time to explain different dishes and was very attentive throughout our meal. The atmosphere is traditional and cosy. Of the few things we ordered the highlight for me was the tacos Sirenitas (see photo 😋).

I have been in CDMX for 3 weeks and I believe this restaurant is a perfect balance of bang for your buck, authenticity, and great taste. I love the music + there are some old Aztec dishes with insects if you are feeling crazy! I came here at least once a day for a meal during my 5 day stay in Coyoacán! I loved having an order of vegetarian tacos with whatever else I ordered to add some greens to my diet since this is such a meat heavy city!
