"You probably already know that Orinoco has some of the best tacos in town. But even if you’ve been two or three times before, you should still prioritize at least one late-night visit during your trip after hitting up one of the nearby bars. Definitely get a round of the tacos de chicharrón—instead of crispy, potato chip-like slices of fried pork rinds, Orinoco’s are soft on the inside and seared on the outside, resulting in a fun mix of textures. And, yes, you should also try their tacos al pastor, which are arguably the best in all of CDMX." - guillaume guevara

In other words: this place (with several locations throughout town) is exactly what you’re looking for after a few rounds of mezcal, especially since they’re open until 3:30am during the week and even later on the weekend." - guillaume guevara
"You probably already know that Orinoco hassome of the best tacos in town, but we’re including it on this list because you might not know they’re only $2 each. And yes, while you should definitely order a round of tacos al pastor, it’s the tacos de chicharrón with Monterrey-style fried pork rinds that keep us coming back again and again. They come topped with thin slices of avocado and are served with baby roasted potatoes and homemade salsas, and the chicharrón has a soft, tender interior and a perfectly seared exterior. They’re open until 3:30am or later seven days a week, but for the best experience, come by on a Friday or Saturday night after a few rounds of mezcal." - guillaume guevara
