"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. photo credit: Andrew Reiner" - Guillaume Guevara
"You probably already know that Orinoco has some 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." - guillaume guevara
"The menu is short and sweet with just three types of meat: al pastor, bistec, and chicharron. Everything can be ordered on corn or flour tortillas and cloaked with cheese. The salsas are piquant, zippy, and incredibly spicy. There are also a few speciality items like quesadilla-esque gringas, and piratas. If the pork skins weren't enough, order the fried donut dessert with dulce de leche, crumbled nuts, and banana ice cream." - Naomi Tomky, Scarlett Lindeman
