"You won't need to check your map to find this spot, as this bi-level space has a line that stretches down the block. Don't worry, as the line moves quickly at this locals' favorite. The large menu offers plenty of choices, but all eyes are on the tacos, especially their signature carnitas piled high on a double layer of soft corn tortillas. Other tacos to consider include the costilla de res, a tender bone-in beef rib that's packed with flavor. Portions are generous and prices are fair at this unfussy taqueria that runs on cash only." - Michelin Inspector
"Considered one of the best places to eat carnitas in Mexico City, El Gran Abanico is a local gem in the Tránsito neighborhood. While the taquería serves pastor, grilled steak, and longaniza tacos, focus on the carnitas. Order a surtida taco — a mix of lean and fatty pork meat — or, if you’re feeling more ambitious, order a pork shank served with fried beans, guacamole, and tortillas. If you take a car: Uber is the best way to get there, and be sure to bring pesos." - Natalia de la Rosa

Cash only. If you are looking for carnitas this is the place. Totally worth the 20 min + wait in long line to get in. Two stories and they are full of diners. I would w/out doubt go back even with the wait in line.

I’m a big fan of carnitas, and these were pretty good. The food itself didn’t disappoint, but the service left a lot to be desired. I’m not sure if this is just how things are done in Mexico City, but at this taco stand, I often felt ignored when trying to order a drink. The staff seemed impatient, which took away from what could’ve been a great experience.

What can I say that others haven't said. Delicious tacos and good portions. The best part? The prices. Some sit-down taco places can get pricey quickly, but it wasn't the case here. Staff was super fast and friendly. Place can feel chaotic at moments, but that's part of the place itself. There was a line to get in, but it went by pretty quick.

Second time here and absolutely did not disappoint and tasted the same as a fewyears ago. The tacos we had were Castilla - Puerto and surtida. If you are able to come give them a try please do yourself a favor and come. The flavor and portions are beyond. They offer a huge variety of options of food and drinks. Do not be afraid of the line to get i. Because it has 2 floors and it moves pretty quick. It was 5 of us and it roughly took 10 minutes for a table. The fresh waters are delicious but tacos and beer never disappoint.

This is the most high rated taco shop in Mexico city, so as a taco lover I felt like I had to visit this place.
Honestly about the taste, I would only give ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the taste itself was not that impressive, but the size and portion of the taco were very generous, so I gave 4 starts.
I think people like this place because of the nice service and the portion of the food.
