  1. Taquería Orinoco

    Late-Night Mexican

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    This is a taqueria built for the hour when mezcal starts making decisions for you, open until 3:30am on weeknights and later on weekends. The tacos de chicharrón come soft inside and seared outside, a texture that makes more sense at 2am than it has any right to. The al pastor gets its own following, and a plate of tacos here costs less than the cab home.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Tacos de chicharrón

      “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.”

    • Tacos al pastor

      “And, yes, you should also go for their tacos al pastor, which are arguably the best in all of CDMX.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
