La Esquina Del Chilaquil

Amazing chilaquile sandwiches! Unlike anything we've ever had before. We shared all three kinds of sandwiches and ate every bite. Service was excellent too - we had a lot of questions and they answered everything patiently despite our halting Spanish. No where to sit, so we brought them to Parque Mexico and devoured them there. Highly recommend!

This place is great for brunch. The chilaquiles sandwich was very good. The bread was soft and the meat was very flavorful. They had a prefixed item selection and unfortunately, unless you go there early, you'll miss the salsa rojo that apparently was the best sauce to have with it. The staff was very chill and straightforward and no issues and very honest. Keep in mind during peak times it'll be extremely busy.

A good tasting, messy sandwich with excellent value that will fill you up. Who doesn't love carbs? What's to hate about chips, beans, cheese, onions, a lightly breaded chicken cutlet and your choice of salsa? It's chilaquiles in a bolillo! The only thing that I would have preferred is for the chips to be less soggy and more crunchy to get more contrast in texture (but that's just me, not trying to change their method and system, just a heads up to the user). If you need to fill up for a long day of walking around town, this carb bomb will keep you satisfied. Don't be deterred by the long lines, the employees work super fast to get you on your way. Cash only!

For a more unique torta experience, stand in line at this no-frills food stand. There’s usually a line, but it moves quickly. Once you order, you’ll have your sandwich within seconds. The milanesa sandwich comes with a thin chicken cutlet and all the chilaquiles flavor. If you love spice, get the red sauce. For more mild (but still spicy), get the green sauce. The sandwiches were good and unique, but didn’t live up to the hype as much as expected. It’s cash only! There’s an ATM blocks away.

Sure! Here's a review you could use: Stopped by this place after seeing the buzz online and the long line outside every , but I have to say it felt a bit overrated in my opinion. I ordered one milanesa with red sauce (salsa roja) and one with green sauce (salsa verde). Both had a nice kick and decent flavor, but I’ve had better elsewhere. On the other hand, my wife got “La Bomba” — their special — and she absolutely loved it, calling it the best of the bunch. If you're curious, it's probably worth checking out for the experience and La Bomba alone, but personally, I wouldn’t wait in that long line again.

Honestly expected more. The chilaquiles were mushy, bland, and made the torta a soggy mess. The bread couldn’t hold up, and it lacked spice and texture. Wouldn’t recommend unless they improve

Nice quick affordable meal, not sure if they have a menu but I just checked the reviews here to determine what to get. I got the milanese verde. Not much of a line when I got there at 10 on a workday.

I had amazing tortas de chilaquil and milanesa! Both the red and green versions were fantastic, but my favorite was the green one. We discovered this food stand outside of a church in the morning, and there was a long line of people leaving with multiple tortas each. I thought to myself, if the line is this long and people are buying so many tortas to go, then it must be great! And I was right! I can't wait to visit Mexico City again and go back to this food stand.

One of my favorite eats in CDMX. CASH ONLY! Easy street vendor to spot since it's in the corner, usually packed with people in line, and all employees wearing shirts that say La Esquina Del Chilaquil. Not only does the line go by quick but the wait is definitely worth. I got the chicken milanesa torta, which came with black beans, choice of red or green chilaquiles (red is spicier), crema, and cheese (which I opted out for on both.) I ended up eating these tortas 2x while being in CDMX for 5 days. The biggest downside is that there is no seating but a torta isn't too hard to eat standing up. Definitely a must try for CDMX!

So I wanted some breakfast and Yelp steered me here with wonderful reviews and tantalizing pictures. I'm not usually a fan of tortas but this definitely changed my mind. On a seemingly random street corner in CDMX, this food stall stands out with their long line and quick service! Speaking minimal (basically no) Spanish, I was still able to order (there is no menu so just go with the Yelp suggestions and order la bombe). Everyone was moving at an amazing pace and basically once you order, you wait at most one minute for your food. They also seem to have a THRIVING delivery service so it was promising to see that as well. Anyway, la bombe with the salsa verde is what I ended up getting and I dream of coming back. It was an explosion of flavors, from the tangy, salsa verde with chilaquiles to the savory and slight spicy carnitas. The torta itself was also very moist and soaked up all the flavors of the filling. Best part, it was like 75 pesos and one def filled me up even though I wish I bought more!

This place is absolutely amazing. Be sure to go early on a week day or something because on weekends, there's typically a really long line from what we saw. My friends brought it back to our place on a Monday morning and we were all wow'd at how good it was. They got two different ones. One with green sauce and the other with red sauce. The three of us split it so that we could try both and thought it was so good. Would absolutely recommend picking up from this stand - you won't be disappointed!

I absolutely loved CDMX, and this little food stand business was one of the best food stops of the trip! I first heard about this place from Mark Wiens on YouTube. It was a little out of the way, so I Ubered over while the rest of my group was getting ready, ordered for everyone, and met them at the bus station for Teotihuacan. Even at 8/9 AM, there was a line, but it moves fast! I ordered three green and two red tortas, and after walking around Teotihuacan for four hours in the dry summer heat, these sandwiches were perfect. It was a little squished and seemingly melted, but the combination of "crispy" chilaquiles, fresh bread, crema, and the crunch from the milanesa made every bite incredible. If I had to pick, I'd say the green was my favorite, but both were yummy. One sad note--while waiting for the bus back, my sister accidentally dropped her sandwich out of its packaging. So if you're taking these to go, be extra careful! Overall, this place is 100% worth the hype. Get there early, grab both red and green to compare, and enjoy one of the best (and most satisfying) street food experiences in CDMX!

If you're in Mexico City, I highly recommend coming here! We came here twice and both times we were extremely lucky with the wait time! We had high expectations and were not disappointed. Honestly one of my favorite foods while in CDMX. We were told to order - "bomba" which is the torta with milanesa, chilaquiles (green or red), crema, and cheese. This will be the first thing I get next time I visit.

Delish! Every time I come to Mexico City, is a must. I always stop by for breakfast at least twice once when I arrive and again before I leave. There's always a line, but it moves quickly and is 100% worth the wait. Highly recommend!

The hype is real. Got there at 7:40 this morning and the line started. Got in line about 6 people deep and it moved very quickly. Got "la bomba" and I was not disappointed. I think it's basically everything they have. Pork, chicken, cream, green sauce. The works. All super fresh. Sat in a bench the the park next to the stand and engorged. Loved every bite.

La torta de Chilaquiles estaba sabrosa. Tenía una embarrada de frijoles, un pedazo de milanesa, chilaquiles rojos y verdes, queso fresco y crema. Con una estas bien para todo el dia. día. The chilaquiles sandwich was delicious. It had a layer of beans, a piece of milanesa, red and green chilaquiles, fresh cheese and sour cream. One would have you feeling full all day.

The hype is real!! The green salsa is my favorite without meat and with milanesa, both are phenomenal. Come early because they sell out by noon. And even though the line gets long, they serve really fast. A definitely must try when in Mexico City.

Everyone kept raving about this place from seeing it on YouTube. I didn't see it on YouTube myself and forgot how I even bookmarked this place. But this is a street vendor that is out in the morning 6 days a week. From 8am-Noon. A tent set up by the street light. A line that quickly forms for these tortas. These aren't just any torta's they are filled with chilaquiles, creama, and refried beans. You need to eat these right away because of the freshness from the bread. You get a choice of either green or red sauce. I went with the green. And loved every bite of this sandwich. It gets busy, but the line moves quickly. Glad I was able to try this out on my trip Recommendation: Chilaquiles tortas w/ green verde salsa

I understand why this place is on the top list of all of the street food YouTube channels. At first I thought Chilaquiles on bread - like is carbs on carbs really necessary? Yes, yes it is. I got to have an amazing behind the scenes experience into street food in Mexico City as a tourist. I got there and there was a short line (rare I know), well they ran out of the torta rolls and had to wait for some to arrive so I had some time to take in a few things. First off was the woman behind me who, even though I couldn't understand everything she was saying, sounded like she just lost her puppy because she might not get to have her chilaquiles sandwich. Then came the operational logistics of a prominent food stand. A truck pulled up with an official coca-cola delivery guy that dropped of pallets of soda to the tents. Then I realized they had a sort of kitchen/prep area out of a nearby restaurant. Then finally the delivery of the rolls, they came with like four pallets. It's just crazy to me that this is for a food stand. I ordered one salsa verde one salsa roja (got to try them both duh) both with the chicken cutlet. These guys moved fast. Waiting in line I had time to practice my order in Spanish in my head, but this is a local spot that doesn't fool around. My Spanish came out a bit wrong, I got some looks. (Thank your for your help guy behind me, next time I'll just point). The woman behind me was elated and did a little food dance when she finally got her torta. Which after eating it I totally get it.

Chilaquiles have long been one of my favorite foods, but this viral stall in Condesa served one of the best preparations I've ever tried. For vegetarians, the torta de chilaquiles without the chicken milanesa comes served with a thick spoonful of some of the most satisfying chilaquiles verdes you've ever tasted paired with a generous pouring of crema. From afar, the bread may not look like much, but the torta was surprisingly soft and was a perfect vessel for this incredible gluttonous sandwich.

If you can try any place, TRY THIS ONE. We came twice-- Thursday, no line vs Saturday long line but moved quickly. The place is in a corner spot so no seating available it's more of to go which we found convenient because we could walk and eat. The chilaquil torta itself was nothing short of amazing, I will be dreaming of this place forever.

Simply scrumptious too bad they didn't have many choices left. I'll definitely return when I visit MC again.

Another Netflix joint in Mexico City! Big ol line but they hassle! Was the wait worth it??? It would've moved a bit faster if these Influencers would stop holding up lines and get to the front of the line while everyone else has to wait! Definitely over 30 minutes of waiting. So expect to stand and move slow Okay the food: Bread definitely fresh with that soft touch and crunchy. Beans, cheese, cream typical Chilaquiles: green not dry or to wet. I'm use to warm or hot ones though these were cold because they were in a big clear tub. They do stuff it well but I'll be honest it wasn't worth the wait (to me) to cold. But the experience was there on different soil..

OH MY GOODNESS! My sister sent me a A TikTok of this place, so I had to try it. Luckily, it was only a 10 minute Uber ride from our Airbnb in Condesa. They are located on a corner and we got there right at 8:05am as we've heard that the lines get really long. To our surprise, there was no one in line and the staff member had mentioned it was because they arrived a bit earlier and started helping customers before 8 AM. You have a choice of green sauce or red sauce for your Chilaquiles and can put chicken or other types of meats on your torta. That first bite was just amazing. I love Chilaquiles and I had really high hopes for this torta and man did it live up to the hype. If you're in Mexico City, please go check them out you will not be disappointed. We finished our torta and ended up buying more for the rest of our party that stayed at the Airbnb. Since we had already been in line they let us cut the line, which was already getting long and let us get our tortas. When I come back to Mexico City I will definitely be going back to this place, check them out. Also the tortas are only 60 pesos ~$4 USD!

This is that place on the corner. With the huge line that moves... slowly. But it's worth the wait! The morning I went I waited about 40 mins on a TUESDAY.. they kept running out of Milanesa... every five minutes. The problem is most people are ordering 5-10 Tortas at a crack! They had two varieties when I went: Chicken Milanesa & Pork Cochinita. The bolillo roll is hollowed out on bottom half and they fill with either verde or rojo chilaquiles, top with Milanesa then cheese & sour cream! The *Bomba* is a masterpiece & I would def wait in line again. Service is brisk.. once you get to the counter and it's cheap/ like 30 pesos per? Talk later

After waiting for a little over 40 minutes we finally got our delicious torta de chilaquil. The wait was worth it. Delicious and very generous portions. Great service as well. If you don't mind waiting in line will definitely recommend.

La fila si da miedo pero vale la pena esperar y de todos modos camina rápido! Muy buena la torta de Chulaquile.

I'd seen this as a top spot to try on many food sites/blogs/vlogs...overall, I'd give it a 3.5. We arrived around 9:15am and waited in line for about 20 minutes. I got the sandwich with tomatillo chilaquiles and chicken milanese. The chilaquiles were fine - they had a mild tomatillo flavor. The roll used was nice and sturdy and perfect for that kind sandwich. The chicken was fine - it could have used a bit more seasoning. The added cheese and crema made it a richer meal. If you're from California and are a fan of Mexican food, you may find these a bit underwhelming. It would be better if these were served warm and a bit fresher (warm chicken, non-soggy tortilla chips). If you are not too familiar with Mexican food or want to try something unique, give this place a try. There is no seating, so you'll have to find a nearby park where you can enjoy your sandwich. Keep in mind that there's almost always a queue - probably not worth more than a 20 minute wait. Because they really sell only a few items, the line moves quickly.

The Lines to get the food can be crazy, we reached here at 9 and didn't get to order food till 9.30 but definitely worth the wait. All ingredients were fresh and good quality ones. Highly recommend trying the Bomba Torta de Chilaquiles Verde. It is small food stand so definitely more of a to-go place, keep that in mind while visiting this place

We were driving by and saw a huuuuge line for this food stand in the afternoon so figured it's a must try. Doing a little bit more research, it looks like this was featured on a Netflix show! We got the sandwiches with everything in it and it was super yummy. Pesos only! And try going super early to avoid the wait. We went 9am on a Monday and there was barely any wait. Recommend!

I came here on a Friday morning, the group woke up a little late after a long first night of drinks & delicious food near our AirB&B. We arrived at 8:45am (they open at 8am) to a medium sized line of about 30 people. There was also a Asian-Mexican influencer who was there making a video and serving food so maybe that was why the line felt long. We were able to order Cafe de Olla that we could enjoy while in line. 30 pesos for 3 coffees. Not bad to me at all. Each location that has Cafe de Olla in CDMX is a different experience in itself. If you enjoy sweet & flavorful, full body coffees then you will be in love with this drink served almost everywhere. We ordered 1 Torta of each (Red and Green). Both were full of flavor and the textures were solid and just laying on the softest on the inside and crispy on the outside bread. The only thing that threw me off was that I like my food piping hot. Both tortas were just warm enough to hesitate on the chew. I would recommend trying it at least once. Come early.

Came across this spot on a trip to cdmx, incredible sandwiches, worth the wait. Would recommend getting there early.

After seeing all the hype about La Esquina del Chilaquil, I was a little disappointed. Granted, they could have just had an off day. I like chilaquiles and love the concept but it was a little dry and not as good as I imagined from the reviews and videos.

The best chilaquiles on a torta you will ever have. Bien servido y delicioso. Well served and delicious. Ay línea, traiga dinero en efectivo. There's a line , bring cash.

Worth the wait! 45 mins cause we got there late. Consider going early or not on a weekend. I asked for the one that was least spicy, it was the green and it was delicious. Best value we had and it was so good. I'd go back all over again. They do have it available for delivery to the surrounding area with use of Rappi app. Looks like that can be a faster option. Would recommend.

muy ricoo! Definitivamente recomiendo este lugar si estás en la zona! El servicio estaba bien, y el lugar esta bien, nomas que tienes que esperar en una línea porque muchas van para ya.

Lo mejor de lo mejor de CDMX. Entre yo y mi familia probamos todas las tortas y no decepcionaron. Todo muy fresco y LIMPIO . The best Mexico City has to offer. My family and I tried every sandwich and they did not disappoint. Everything was fresh and clean and a bargain too.

I was on the hunt for the best chilaquiles, and this listing came up. Basically chilaquiles in a sandwich! And you'd think with a crazy big line it was going to be absolutely delicious. It wasn't worth the wait for me, and the bread detracted from the chilaquiles taste.

Not positive I am reviewing the correct place but let's just go with it folks. Ignorant American am I right!?!?!? Now Jimi was a plus one here for a brunch and the food was served tapas/pupus style. Apparently it's a secret menu (what's it trying to hide) that changes. How fun! Those that have a pallet more sophisticated than a 3rd grader will enjoy this place. 5 stars

While in Mexico City, especially in the Condesa area this is a must try! Just make sure to get here early enough or you will be sad. Luckily we went early enough on a Tuesday morning (maybe 9:30 or 10am) so there were still plenty of green and red tortas de chilaquil to be had. Based off of a YouTube video I had seen I had to try the verdes. The bread itself was super yummy. I wish I could go back and try the red one! Don't miss out! They are a great twist on two Mexican favorites!

There were many highlights of our CDMX trip in 2019 during Dios de los Muertos, one of them, and quite possibly ranking in the top three - is our breakfast/brunch from this small but popping food stand. La Esquina del Chilaquil specializes in one thing, and one thing only - red or green (rojas or verde) sandwiches. We got there pretty early and the line was already down the block and, despite the chilly October/November air and our growing hanger, the wait was worth it for these incredible sandwiches. Our wait was about an hour to an hour and a half long. I'm still not even completely sure what I ate, but by gosh, I was licking the crumbs off the wrapping. That worth it. I opted for the green sauce, and also tried a bite of my friends red sauce. When you go, do like the rest, order a bunch at a time and bring them back. Or maybe designate one friend, the early riser of the group (say me) to trek here super early and grab the orders. You can also order from here on Uber Eats, but I'm not sure on what the wait is for that. We did see a few Uber Eats deliveries being picked up, but they had a separate line. This carb-filled sandwich was perfect to fuel our trek up the pyramids.

You have to try both green and red tortas! Super good and it's a great breakfast sandwich if your on the go!

This food stand was on my husband's list of place to try. The line was about a 30 minutes wait. Torta 1- Green chilaquiles, milanesa, refried beans, sour cream, and cheese Torta 2- red chilaquiles, milanesa, refried beans, sour cream, and cheese Torta 3- milanesa and refried beans. The milanesa was cooked perfectly. My husband said torta 1 and torta 2 were really good but he preferred torta 2 because it was a bit spicy. Torta #3 was very basic but really good.

Such a fun experience! The sandwich was pretty awesome. I was skeptical of the bread at first b/c I thought it would be too dry, but it was perfect.

Came here for breakfast on a Thursday morning. The line wasn't too bad when we got there around 830, we waited about 15m. But I would definitely agree with the previous reviews that getting here early is the move. The tortas here are as spectacular as advertised. The bread is super soft, the meats have a fantastic flavor. I'd recommend going for both rojo and verde as they both bring different, but equally delicious flavors. The tortilla chips give a nice crunch. Overall, you can't beat this level of filling and taste for under 50 pesos

I can't believe how great this place was and how affordable it is amazing price is an amazing food. Definitely worth the wait line moves pretty quickly.

This is a different spin on chilaquiles!! Imagine Chilaquiles in a roll, lots of carb goodness. I was unsure about how I felt about the idea, but the super long line I stood on assured me I was in for a treat!! They have rojo or verde, both were delicious!! Make sure you get there early their hours and product are limited!

I'd seen this on tv. Honestly I thought a torta de chilaquiles sounded gross. A sandwich with a bread based dish. Come on! Anyways, our friends in CDMX all told us it was fantastic. So we gave it a try. You know somethings going on when there's a line down the block and 3 Uber eats drivers lined up on Sunday morning. Even the cop directing traffic at the intersection was eating one. We had the torta with red chilaquiles, milanesa, and cream. This is hangover food. Now I have to explain to my torta shop back home what I want. It's the bomb. The crazy part was it's only 40 pesos. They really could/should charge more. In short, just do it. Just remember to save some time for a nap after

Chilaquiles tortas was the best I ever had. Highly recommended. Line was around 25 people deep when I arrived but moved very fast. Will return.

100000% worth the hype. We came right when they opened and there was a line of about 10 people. This only took about 15 minutes. Our meal ended up being the best thing we had while in Mexico City. I would definitely recommend the green sauce -- so flavorful and low spice. I dream about the next time I visit and can drop by!

Is called La esquina del Chilaquil, and I know is hard to see but they have the menu posted on the plastic film, is a very busy stand, they post the menu differently every day and you can choose from the menu of the day, people wait on line for them to be served, is cash only no credit cards do be prepared to come with cash, everyone knows this place, they had torta con chilaquiles y milanesa, for example we tried all of them and we loved them, you have to come to this corner when you con to Mexico city.

Compre la torta con milanesa con chilaquiles rojos y otra en verde y senti que picaban igual. Muy recomendable entre semana.

We came in a Thursday morning around 9 and the line wasn't bad although very busy. These ladies are working hard and fast for these delicious 3.50 tortes. Sandwiches were delicious and worth the price. Would I wait an hour? NO but I have no patience. Try them if you are in Condesa they are delicious!

There's a reason this place keeps showing up. It's absolutely worth trying. Get there before 9 if you can and maybe 35 min wait? Easily one of the best things you'll have in Mexico City. Chicken Milanese with green sauce chilaquiles torta.

I hate that I'm deducting a star for the wait. But come on! We almost waited for 2 hours for these legendary tortas!! We arrived here on a Friday morning at 8:25am and waited until 10 past 10am for these tortas. The theme of the wait was continual irritation. Irritated that the line was so long. Irritated that the line was not moving. Irritated that I'm so stubborn. Irritated that everyone else in line was also so stubborn. Multiple times during the wait, we considered leaving. After all, the time we had already spent was sunk cost. But since there's so many people here, it must mean it's worth it right? And I haaaaaad to try these tortas that YouTube raves about. The problem is that, even though the assembly moves relatively fast, there's people in line ordering dozens of tortas at a time. There's also a separate line for delivery men, so maybe consider ordering this off of UberEATS while you wait in the comforts of your home or hotel. When we finally, finally got to the front of the line, we were presented with 2 options: tortas with green or red chilaquiles. The tortas has these godly chicken milanesa patties, frijoles, and crema with the chilaquiles of your choice (they can also make them vegetarian). Of course, we went with both tortas...and then another green for good measure. Man, I'm salivating just thinking about them. The green was definitely the crowd favorite (between my boyfriend and me). Honestly, we thought we could eat more than 1, but they are SO FILLING. They are truly worth the try. But sigh, the wait was really rough. I would try to get it delivered to your door unless you're craving the entire authentic experience of physical and psychological torture but real tangible reward at the end of your wait.
