Tacos Joven - Tacos de Canasta a domicilio

This a spot I totally agree with every other reviewer that it’s fire 🔥 it’s a real mom and pop place. The prices are really good for what it is, I thought it was going cost more. If you’re into a mushy taco 🌮 this is where you’ll find it. The chicharron salsa is one of a kind that I’ve ever had. The staff are friendly.

We came here for one reason - chicharrone tacos. When our server reached into the basket, I could not have imagined that he would pull out the greasiest, fattiest, and one of the tastiest tacos we’ve ever had. I need to hammer home how greasy these were. They put to shame any double cheeseburger, any loaded chili cheese fries, any fried chicken that you could possibly conceive of. These are near weapons-grade tacos. I could feel my arteries hardening and my poor stomach bracing for impact as I stuffed these extraordinary tacos into my mouth, because how could I stop? With that texture, mostly fat with some crisp edges, and just enough taste contrast from bite to bite, these are the heaviest thing I’ve ever enjoyed. I would perfectly understand if someone thought they were disgusting, and honestly I think going here once was enough. But as far as a unique taco experience, this is one for the ages. Highly recommended.

Get the chicharron taco. Add chicharron salsa and pickled peppers (to break a bit of the fattiness) - so so good. Don’t forget to get a cold Coke or Pepsi from the fridge.

This seems a family owned little restaurant. All the staff is really nice and hard working, the food is good in this category. The portions are huge and really well priced. Small humble place but great experience over all!

I was really excited to taste these tacos, staff was very kind and helpful but to me the tacos were a little salty, the salsas look great but they weren't spicy at all, the salsa with chicharron was acceptable, but not amazing as I expected, the place is a little dark, maybe even kinda creepy. Unfortunately I think I would prefer somewhere else, it is not bad but not as delicious as I imagined. But the experience was worth it and the staff was great.

Lived in Mexico City for 11 years and I have had maaaaany tacos de canasta - this ones however, are head and shoulders above the rest. The flavors are delicious! Can't go wrong with any choice, but I would recommend the chicharron, for sure. Fantastic service and an incredible value. I was full with 3 of them, but I ended up having 5 - couldn't pass up the chance.

El cielo de los tacos/Taco Heaven! Great typical tacos in a little crowded place at a great price and with great service. The salsas aren't really hot by Mexican standards. I recommend the chicharrón (pork skin), deshebrada (pulled meat) and mole verde. Yum!

Salsa with chicharon was excellent, desebrada tacos good, but the best were the mole verde

Worth the calories! Would come for the chicharrón salsa alone! First time trying tacos de canasta (basket tacos), these babies are premade and served up from the steaming basket, it's a mystery to me how the tacos stay intact after soaking in the juice and having only one tortilla! Each are stuffed so full too! We tried mole, bean, barbacoa, and chicharrón ones, and topped each with their insane chicharrón salsa! Not a light breakfast by any means, and likely enough calories for the whole day, but boy aren't they good!

Worth the trip. It was my first time trying tacos de canasta and the bar has been set high. The tacos came nicely steamed and soaked after sitting in the basket for a while and the single tortillas were amazingly sturdy and did not rip despite the juice, oil, salsa, moisture, and heat present. I tried the mole verde, barbacoa, bean, and chicarron tacos all topped with the salsa morichi and a side of sweet cooked onions. The salsa morichi made with red chiles and big chucks of chicarron is absolutely insane. It's very, very good. This is not a light brunch, but the flavors and execution made it a must-visit if you're in CDMX.

We flew into Mexico City at 6am, hung out at a coffee shop that we found near this place to kill time, and walked over hungry and excited at 9am (when it's advertised that it's open). It was 9:15 when we got there and they said they'll open in 30 minutes which was disappointing. We walked around for a bit, came back and they said 20 more minutes. We just sat on a bench in front of there shop bedside there were a lot of other people waiting around too. Then, the most amazing sigh appeared. A man biked over with a very large basket of tacos de canasta (breakfast tacos - steamed with a variety of meats). We ordered (chicharron is recommended) a chicharron, adobo and carne deshebrada tacos (braised shredded beef) tacos. It's a very small shop and people were already piling in but we were able to snag a small table in the back. The tacos come with cooked shredded onions, and there is some chunky guacamole, chicharron salsa and pickled carrots and jalapeños. Everything had a kick to it! The tacos were super flavorful, all new flavors and it was a very new breakfast experience for me! I've had tacos de canasta before in California, but it's definitely Americanized compared to these. We paid at the end 84 MXN for 6 = $4.42 total USD), which was so shocking with how delicious and filling of a meal it was!

Delcicous! These tacos are so good! It's a must try! Everyone was so friendly and the soccer game was on!

Hella good. Chicharron tacos with the chicharron salsa was best. Fast and friendly service as well. Return we shall.

I am thoroughly pleased from start to finish. We ordered one of every taco (see menu pic) six in total. My wife wanted Coke but they only had Pepsi, owner said no problem, her son ran out to get her one, such nice people. Afterwards she asked if it's okay to take a pic with her for Facebook! We said heck yeah, she is such a cutie. Food - 4/5 Decor - 3/5 Price - $

We got a round of all the available Taco de Canatra at this famous spot in the Narvarte Poniente zone of CDMX, Tacos Joven Oficial. A family sitting at the same table educated us about food and salsa in Mexico. The Salsa Chicharron is amazing on the Tacos. So fresh, delicious, and packed with flavors. We also get Casera Sangria to go with the Tacos like the locals do. These all for 84 Pesos, which is less $5, get out of here...

Visited but when I got there they weren't ready the cab driver also told me that places like this aren't ready when they say their open which is weird I decided to wait like 30 mins or so but I ended up leave without trying this canasta tacos
