Taquería Orinoco

Leaving a five star review just for Karina. She was so kind and helpful and made our experience great. The menu, even to a native spanish speaker, can be a little confusing at first - so take a second to digest the different options. I like the specials section, specifically recommend the Norteña and Campechana. They are pricier than the Sueltos options but worth it, the cheese and extra add ons are yummy. Loved the variety of sauces to add.

I was staying in an Airbnb nearby so I decided to check out this popular taqueria in CDMX. I went around 7pm on a Tuesday and surprisingly there wasn’t a line at all. Very seamless to order. There is attentive staff to help you order! The food came out quickly. The tacos were delicious, but I will be honest: These taste like something I can order back home in Texas. Nevertheless, the dessert stole the show. It was an ice cream buñuelo they were offering around. I would return either way!

Sad to see what this place has become. Nothing like the quality they had years ago. Now I understand the hate they get online. All the tacos were cold, the lime was dry, and the salsas tasted like they came straight from a freezer. The chicharrón, once their signature (Ramos-style), is now unrecognizable — more like fried nuggets than real chicharrón. The only reason for 2 stars is the manager, Kevin, who handled the situation professionally, refunded us, and apologized. It’s unfortunate that visitors think this represents authentic tacos. Won’t be back.

Some of THE BEST tacos I’ve eaten in my life. And I’ve eaten lots of tacos! I’m Mexican American from the south Texas border and was visiting CDMX for the first time. We will be back and I will recommend to all who visit! The service was also excellent, with greeters at the door and our order taken promptly. Food arrived quick and hot! Paty also was prompt in clearing our table and asked if we wanted anything else including dessert.

One of our favorite spots while in CDMX! The al pastor with cheese taco is absolutely delicious and all the salas are unique and tasty. The atmosphere is busy and service is great, our server Karina was especially attentive. The jamaica with guava is sooo good and they serve a whole liter cup of it! Highly recommend :)

Absolutely one of my favorite taco spots in CDMX. The service is so thoughtful and attentive which is incredible given how busy it is. (Miguel is the best!) The food is consistently amazing. Salsas are distinctive and delicious. Do not miss the bunuelo - it’s incredible.

The hype was real- had two of the Trompo and one of the beef tacos. Came with potatoes and lots of sauce options. The tacos were just about perfect and the vibe was great! Highly recommend, just watch out for the lines.

Great! Went with friends late at night (1 AM), it was quite busy but there was room to sit. We sat on the second floor. We ordered a bunch of things: tacos sueltos of trompo, res, and tacos especiales of pirata. They bring the food to the table which nice. Everything was very good, nothing extraordinary, but definitely a great option at that time of the night, with good pricing in a good location. Would definitely go again if in the area !
